Starting point is 00:00:04 Wee ZF in the F is for features, baby. Now let me tell you all something. When it comes to Little Wayne features, this has to go up there with one of the greatest fumbles in history. That ain't going to lie to you, because Jello putting Little Wayne on this remix, it all sounds good until you listen to the sound. And you realize, you know what, it's not that good.
Starting point is 00:00:31 This is actually, now, of course, I can't go. that far because little way is one of the most influential if not the most influential or yeah as far as rapping and the image of rapping is considered little way is up there as far as the most influential rapper of all time but let me tell you all something as far as the features he could have had on tweaker there's a long list of them right jello decided to go with little wayne for the tweaker remix now Now, it's reported that he secured a $13 million deal as far as with Def Jam. I have to know where was the budget as far as this remix? Because if you sent a good amount to Little Wayne, I just want to let you know right now,
Starting point is 00:01:17 that man scammed you. You just got scammed by one of the greatest rappers of all time. He gave you a verse that he wouldn't have gave DJ Callet. And that's saying something. Now, let me tell you something. When it comes to the Tweaker remix, I have to be very honest when it comes to Lil Wayne's feature. And it hurts my heart because he's one of my favorite rappers in the history of rapping. The words that he put together for this feature was very mediocre at best.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Little Wayne, as far as his feature run back in his prime, looking at this feature that he just gave Jello would have been disgusted. It's almost like when Kobe watched the Lakers and they was being blown out and he was just looking at them like y'all are utter garbage. I think that's how Little Wayne Prime Feature Run will look at this feature as far as on as far as on Tweaker. So in other news, Little Wayne announced the Carter Six. Now we're going to get to that in a second, right? It's set to be released June 6, 2025. But now we're going to focus on Jello.
Starting point is 00:02:26 So as far as his appearance on. Black Boy Max's stream. That's what we're about to get into because I cannot give any more attention to this feature with, uh, to this, to this remix that has Lynn Wayne as a feature because I've read the lyrics off. I was like, you know what, maybe he was just putting words together and I just couldn't understand, right? Maybe he was just doing something that was very artistic to the level that I couldn't even understand what he was saying. So I had to pull up the lyrics.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Y'all want me read it off for you? Well, here we go. I'm beasting baby I feast like I'm obese and lazy And if they're sleeping on a goat They're counting sheep Then baby Weekland's baby
Starting point is 00:03:10 They come in for that week There's a PG podcast We're gonna you know Blurr out the cuss words And swap them for other words Weeklands baby They come in with that weak stuff Baby
Starting point is 00:03:22 You know I cook a rapper Bottom like I eat Poop Baby Now of course He used more provocative words as far as that specific line. Let me just tell you, that's utter garbage. I don't know what he was in the studio doing.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I think if you're jello, it's hard to tell Little Wayne that you need to redo your verse. He should have made a call to Def Jam and tell them to freeze Little Wayne's account. That bag should have not went through because this feature is ultimate garbage. I am sorry to tell y'all that this was a monument. mental fumble by Jello, a guy who ironically plays basketball. How do you fumble and you play anyways? So with that being said, I think when it comes to Tweaker, the original track is phenomenal. This tweaker remix is definitely subpart compared to that.
Starting point is 00:04:16 And when you listen to his snippets he had on Blackboy Max's stream, you can automatically assume that he has something else coming that is of, I'm not going to say like top tier quality, but it's pretty serviceable as far as the sound that we're looking for Jello to replicate and emulate as far as off of Tweaker. So as far as his $13 million record deal with Def Jam, it's safe to say that he has something else coming in the tuck as far as giving people that sound that they're looking for as far as Jello. The track, can you please?
Starting point is 00:04:47 I think it's a hit. I think that track is a hit. And if he really wants a feature on it, I think he should just give the people what they've been clamoring for and asking for and basically giving you the sauce for and putting Boosie on one of your records. I think if you puts Boosie on a record, I don't know if somebody behind the scenes is like, Lil Wayne, so this amount of records, you should get Little Wayne as a feature. Forget all that.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Give the people what they want as far as a Boosie remix or a Boosie verse and just call it a day because I think people want Jello with Little Boosie with Boosie. And I don't think I'm listening to the masses and they're all saying get Boosie on the track. So at some point, the Jello Boosie collab needs to happen. This, as far as the track with Little Wayne, it looks all good until you hear the sound and you realize it's not good. So it's very underwhelming and ultimately a fumble as far as finding the right artist for the remix. But with that being, so we're going to get more into Jello, but as far as this specific segment, click my link to try and my bio. Let me know on one of my social media.
Starting point is 00:05:49 What do you think about this remix for a tweaker featuring Little Wayne? And what do you think about the verse? And am I tripping with calling this verse utter garbage?
