[@indyfosho5458]

[@chitownmytownofficialonean6067]

birdman gonna try and pull this mess on ar ab and get fucked up

[@oolonghussein1309]

This is hurting Birdman too. Maybe not right at the moment but just watch. It will catch up if Wayne holds his ground.

[@tyrellblack6601]

Yo I believe every word he said They ask good question and he gave good answers basically gave us the truth

[@dabc32]

[@BigJay773]

I like this dude Cortez....he seems very smart and humble....Wayne has a good friend and business partner in his corner.

[@ZekeGotViews]

Cortez looks like a blend of Kobe Bryant with a splash of Tiger Woods😂😂😂

[@bcbfb]

love you wayne please keep on never quit

[@51077ap]

Got To Respect Wayne For All That!

[@nickalvarez1]

Dope interview.. Lil Wayne forever.

[@Columbiadwk]

God damn this is refreshing honestly to hear the person being interviewed and not being cut off from nore lol

[@HippodemusMusic]

i have mad respect for cotez

[@alexdavidovich8469]

Came from akademiks glad to have clarity

[@bristonlacy]

Finally someone blames Slim and not just Birdman.

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

Briston Lacy That's because Slim is the guy behind the scenes but people don't know he is. Baby (Birdman) is always in the forefront.

[@bristonlacy]

SoulOfTheSouth​ Yeah but if me and you can figure that out the industry can also but act scared to address it

[@donnjones6032]

glad he's letting the people know what's happening

[@ibeenwoke]

what if Wayne didn't have a real one like Cortez...

[@kingartison]

he would be stuck in that fireman phase

[@mblount9300]

+Isiac Artison I'll rather have the fireman Carter 2 Wayne than 2016 Wayne imo

[@kingartison]

leanman gassed up isn't that big of a difference music wise he go back to that at times

[@mblount9300]

HARDWORKCORP I feel yeah Wayne's catalog so versatile there's a Wayne phase for every one

[@LCMyoutube]

damn wayne could of killed the streaming game before anyone

[@thabolefleur9655]

I don't get how Drake released two albums since then and Nicki dropped an album too but Wayne can't. Something is not being said here

[@theboyt8324]

check how many times this man says "YOU KNOW" and like this

[@themodfather9382]

no

[@reauxnbears]

Could have asked when we getting Dedication 6. Honestly these young cats in the game don't want Wayne to get off the leash. I'm sure he is ready to destroy the game

[@seanh6080]

u are right!

[@kdotkadafi9250]

Aye Bernie it's here now lol

[@diplomats031]

Very diplomatic of Cortez, I like him, he seems very cool and isn't trying to throw anyone under the bus.

[@lamarcarraway100]

Finally the truth. Still the best rapper alive in my book!! Wayne's World

[@BradsdentBrown]

Lil Wayne should do another P.S.A. Video

[@k-will9348]

I get this feeling that mixtape weezy coming back and he gonna drop another classic mixtape along with another classic album... GOAT

[@Ryan4321]

One day karma will catch up to Birdman just like it did to Suge Knight

[@whayes8084]

+1Southsideplaya What has Diddy and J. Prince done? They are businessmen you sensitive ghetto whiners.

[@whayes8084]

1Southsideplaya Nope, 79. The 90's were my era. Still. Why do people think doing big time business is like playing marbles? It's cutthroat. Funny how ghetto dudes always brag about selling drugs, getting over on hoes, or whatever other ghetto crap. But when some black dude applies those same principles at a higher level. Everyone acts all soft about it. It was the Lox job not to get fucked over. It ain't my job to feel sorry for some grown ass men. Over a situation they themselves could have prevented.

[@evilpriest100]

+1Southsideplaya real shit lol

[@evilpriest100]

+1Southsideplaya he don't know & don't tell him. Then they wonder why Houston is a black hole

[@Will-hg7dp]

suge didn't rob anybody , dre signed over his publishing to him , pac died , snoop money went to his trial and had to recoup then interscope started sabotaging suge. FACTS

[@JP-wn4jn]

Best Interview I've seen on the channel. respect

[@Koncept80]

Great Interview

[@Charliedastoopid]

Great interview

[@esseen100]

[@slr-d]

[@Sidepea]

Cortez kept it "100" with the questions , he wasn't giving bullshit answers. Enjoyed this podcast.

[@sanosworld8082]

[@youngking2401]

[@AustinSmithGuitar25]

Wayne you still got it man. It would be cool to see another album like rebirth.

[@vincentmccall3604]

Wayne don't have respect on his name that's the problem

[@shamarpalmer5250]

He looks like a mature and smarter version of Tyga

[@shamarpalmer5250]

Pause

[@edo-j1784]

Not a fan of Wayne or any Trap artists, but no man (Baby) should rip their artists off like he has!

[@brandonfaison6586]

If you not a fan of Wayne gtfo.

[@blackhippy47149]

tf wayne ain't a trap artist

[@WhiteSploitationFavs]

Weezy F. TrapBaby

[@safwatfaruq9157]

Ed Joyce Y dA FuK U on dis vid if not A fAn

[@devastator44]

What a dumb question, there's plenty of ways you could end up watching a video of someone and not be a fan of them, especially on weird ass youtube. It's not like he was even dissing Weezy or anything. Stop being slow in public.

[@ThinkerHaistTV]

So basically Birdman was skimming off the top, and breaking bread with Slim but nobody else.... Throughout the years where it looked like Wayne wasn't paying the producers, it was really Cash Money Records being paper gangsters the whole time.... Then Young Thug pop up... This industry crazy...

[@TrizzleTV]

the cash money plantation is folding. he fucked over all of his top tier artists. only reason Nicki and Drake still moving is bc Wayne is unselfish. kudos to weezy!

[@ibeenwoke]

if Wayne put out the 5 with CM that shit might do stupidity 🔢

[@Kinghimx]

[@BlackJesus2047]

[@qbnj806]

[@chitownmytownofficialonean6067]

he seem pretty koo thru all the years i have seen him even when lil wayne was being a dick to him on tour he stayed koo

[@dutchroberts937]

way better interviewer's than drink champs

[@KooRod]

no shit lol

[@zeroChannelJJ]

For some reason in the middle of the vid. I was doing patterns with my mouse pointer against the wall behind Cotez...

[@adunn1809]

So we'll never see Carter V because cash money never really knew how to handle Real Money smh Only way to fix it is give Wayne All his Masters from the beginning of his career and money made from Drake and Nikki and let him be a free agent.

[@edwardjenkins5882]

free the Carter 5, man.. I been waiting 100 years for it,

[@lukaszwason5031]

Tez slapping that table not knowing he's making a dirty bass

[@andrewgilard9919]

his fans want all in one last compilation

[@Dominion-1]

And that is why they call it the Music Business.

[@jeralsmith2315]

our expectations are to high the shit gon be wack the wait made the hype to crazy

[@nicholasverando6005]

he kept 100. baby paid young homie. the money. and lets get it

[@semperxian]

what a weird situation

[@hueality]

Wow....

[@JRawization]

If the Carter 5 don't sound like the Carter 3 sessions, drought is over pt4, carter 2 etc.. don't really care much for it. I'm aware he's not that rapper anymore. He does drop songs here and there that reminds me of that old flow. Don't get why he can't just do a project that sounds like that 06-08 wayne lol. Regardless I'll listen to the album when he drops..

[@TheVitoandollini1]

truth

[@GrindSacrifice]

Octobers Prince I agree but I have to say his sounds from 02 - 08 ... Esp his squad up sessions ...

[@henrygaston2653]

True...but he is still legendary. We can keep playing the old Carter's, droughts, and the block is hot

[@ineverswag]

carter iv was actually very dope, the deluxe songs ruined it except for mirrors which should have on the standard edition

[@BlackJesus2047]

Octobers Prince that free weezy album was prob some of Wayne's best work, but his run is over. So cliche fans like yourself haven't listened to that album with the same love that you had for him back in the day so you say his recent work isn't up to par with his older shit. I will admit carter 4 was trash sorry for the wait 2 was cool ded 5 trash, but that free weezy album is prob the most lyrical Wayne been since carter 2. Ppl just don't love Wayne like they use to, but he's always been a funny rapper with bars that will make you laugh.

[@Thatmauiwowie]

#FreeC🖐🏻

[@Chris-ss6rb]

Lol my guy looks just like Aaron Brooks

[@chriskleinermusic]

If you spend your money on nonsens jewels, cars, mansions, girls & other expensive stuff to clam down your ego... its not a suprise that you hold back money! The other point is... Often thees Guys from the "Old" Times dont see the future or new frames coming up... So they stick with there old rusted thinking!

[@andrewgilard9919]

What plan always move forward

[@gdaley1982]

birdman is the money finish or is it done ?

[@shonjohn9023]

wow

[@whayes8084]

Dude looks like Silkk the Shocker.

[@RadBunny2269]

KingCetshwayo wow, you just took me waaaaaaaaay back.

[@Youngsymbolva]

Damn, glad cortez finally brought the truth to us...so sad to see wayne go through this, smh birdman did him so dirty, i must say that sacrifice he made for Drake and Nicki is honorable and shows how much he cares about his artist, the fans and Hip Hop. Hopefully he get's his just due soon

[@zaybocaldwell2066]

Alexander Howard

[@zaybocaldwell2066]

leaf man

[@187mrsmith]

[@biggmixxo]

birdman robbed wayne when he was a hotboy & wayne stayed. then not 2b paid for any of the carter albums & he kept recording. whose fault is that?

[@karlieredd8863]

BIGG MIXX It's Wayne's fault.

[@biggmixxo]

Karlie Redd word my sista!

[@ariesjasper5477]

BIGG MIXX he said they didnt have money problems befroe this if you listen

[@cypresstv3621]

[@josephjohnson4352]

He said last 12 years they broke up before 04 this ain't the first time he played these niggas outta money they been getting fukd

[@huddycombs2166]

Wayne jus signed with roc nation... Hov jus tweeted..

[@TonyMontana-tf5fk]

[@ARKING-nh9kf]

Hurry up Need the C5... only got 24hrs to live😂😂😂😂

[@littlep1255]

Those glasses r wierd yet fresh.

[@jamesbon43]

[@Drew_dagreat_ali]

By the time we here that shit its gonna be old outdated

[@wwstn47]

Andrew Irving real talk . If it ain't already is

[@kingartison]

it's definitely past due

[@jackiesee5911]

[@KolaBoySFG]

L for not spelling "Carter" right. 🤔

[@2010Trigga]

Kola Boy😂

[@MrAnthony504]

I see Wayne coming to Rap-a-Lot.

[@Skreen32]

So Google showed them what real-Real money looks like it brought out the greed in certain people.

[@audioplugg5310]

Weezy should have took that deal with Jay some years back.

[@slimyabish320]

Audioplugg the deal for 150 grand? That's not worth it

[@phillyb1592]

Sometimes shit just go left, now are y'all finished or y'all done? - Birdman Sandusky.

[@PharaohLawLess1]

Bird Man needs to stop rubbing his damn hands together and let Wayne out of his contract or at least do a joint venture with Jay Z or LA Reid at Epic records. Wayne and Bird Man are missing out on money behind Bird Man over spending. As time goes by and we already know hip hop fans are fickled and jump on who ever is hot at the moment he's losing fans which means money. Bird Man has to look at the bigger picture

[@galactus3666]

LIKE WHO WEAR THIS KIND OF SHADE?!! I MEAN ...

[@drewskeyewalker]

Fam hairline mad pushed back when you are a barber it's hard to look at lol

[@realmontana6838]

I hate birdman did that shit bc it sets a bad precedent on black businessman .

[@kimberlyd.jackson9750]

Don't think Birdman wants to let Wayne go..like a parent that child is leaving home..he stated he wanted to retire.. I think they have the money but it a family thing

[@coreyflash7917]

corey flash was here tho
