Over the course of his successful career, Lil Wayne has collaborated with countless legendary rappers, yet despite his star status, he has yet to record with one.
In an interview with Cam Heyward on Not Just Football, Weezy enumerated his ideal teammates, mentioning a number of tragically deceased musicians.
He said, “Michael Jackson,” at the top. Prince would be 1A, not even the second. That would be the second. You are already aware that the other two must be Biggie and ‘Pac, without a doubt, if we are going to perform rap.
He then turned his attention to collaborations that are still feasible, saying, “And now, there’s someone who’s alive and walking this planet with us: Lauryn Hill.”
However, the former member of the Hоt Boys has performed alongside Ms. Hill on stage before.
As part of Lauryn Hill’s 25th anniversary tour, Lil Wayne surprised both fans and colleagues last year by unexpectedly showing up to her Los Angeles gig.
The highlight of his presence was a freestyle over the iconic Fugees song “Ready or Not,” rather than a performance of one of his own classics.
Among others who were astounded by Wayne’s spontaneous verses was The Game, the rapper from Compton, who responded to the video by commenting, “Got chills [hands-up emoji].”
There’s still a chance Lil Wayne and Lauryn Hill may work together.
The former has been hinting at a sixth album in his successful album series Tha Carter for a while now. In an interview with Not Just Football, he even revealed that it will be his next full-length release, though he was unable to give a specific release date.
Wyclef Jean, the prominent member of the Fugees, with whom he was sighted in the studio back in 2022, appears to have already recorded music with him.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Hill’s 1998 first album, has been her only record to date. However, last month, she seemed to validate her son YG Marley’s claim that “music is on the way,” giving fans optimism for a follow-up.
