Cory Gunz Recalls Initial Meeting With Lil Wayne, Bronx Hip Hop Influences

    Young Money emcee Cory Gunz is often associated with his father, Peter Gunz, of “Deja Vu” fame. While the family lineage is always a talking point, Lil Wayne and Peter Gunz aren’t the only members of the Hip Hop elite Cory is connected to.

    “I was working with an album with Casablanca/Def Jam,” Cory Gunz told Funkmaster Flex during a recent appearance on “Full Throttle” on MTV2. “I was in a joint venture with Tommy Mattola and Jay-Z, and he came in when he was on fire…when he didn’t have to. He was promoting Tha Carter II, hitting TRL and ‘106 & Park’ all in one day.”

    The pair worked on the song “I Gotcha,” and obviously would reconnect on “6’7’” when Wayne was assembling the Young Money roster. During the “Full Throttle” appearance, Cory would also speak on his various Hip Hop influences. Despite his relatively young age and having had the opportunity to work with Jay-Z and Lil Wayne, Cory listed an influence that may surprise some.

    “I started out listening to Grandmaster Caz,” Cory revealed. “He’s absolutely one of the coolest people…one of the dopest. I’m a Bronx baby, so I grew up in that environment with my dad having shows. I think it’s the essence of Hip Hop—the culture, the graffiti, the dressing. ”

    1. Lil Wayne
      (Verse 3)
      I got shot when I was 12,
      Lost my pop when I was 14
      Shot again at 20
      Will I shake these old dreams?
      We already have the holy water on my face
      And 3 blood drops dried on the side of my eyes
      Why we gotta kill our own kind when we rise?
      Got me looking down the ladder now when I climb
      Pulling up on my nephews
      And they don’t wanna drive
      They wanna learn how to work the tool
      And who am I not to do the duty?
      And just think, if pops advice get sent through black ink
      And that stinks, but homie that’s real
      And in the hood even steaks smell bad on the grill
      I remember when if you was a hustler, you was a winner
      Now that’s like raking up leaves in the winter
      And that ain’t even cool, to miss a few summers
      Shyt
      I’ll take a bite out the onion like
      Fuck it!
      (I,I,I, don’t want you to see me cry)
      And wont cry)
