Mannie Fresh, who has said he is working on Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V, says that he and Weezy still have a great working relationship.
“We got great chemistry,” Fresh says in an interview with HipHopDX’s Andre Grant. “We’ve always been A-100 with each other, regardless of what was going on with me and Cash Money or whatever. We just picked up where we left off and we’re doing music. That’s what we’re doing now.”
Fresh says he’s proud of their work together, but will leave it to fans to decide where Tha Carter V ranks in Weezy’s discography.
“I’ma leave that one up to the people,” the producer says. “I just know how to do good music. I don’t know how to tell nobody this is the best album ever. I will let the people judge that.”
In 2011, Fresh spoke about his relationship with Wayne.
“I still talk to [Lil] Wayne,” he said at the time. “I talked to dude like three days ago. I called him because he made a step that was so important to Hip Hop – I don’t know if you seen his latest YouTube video, where he’s telling the kids don’t do what he do, and the reason why he drunk syrup was because he thought [that since] we all grew up like that, we all grew up on UGK, and he thought it was the cool thing to do, so that’s why he did it. And he understands now that there’s a lot of people that’s following dude and doing what he does. And he was being sincere. Like, he said some cool shit, and I was just like, ‘Wow.’ So I called him myself and was like, ‘Hey dude, I’m proud of you. I’m super-proud of you for what you said and what you did.’ Because, you know, if I said that during our little reign when we was there it was taken as like, ‘Dude, you soft. You being soft right now.’ And I’m like, ‘Dude, this shit is real right now. It’s kids that do everything that we do.’ I’m not saying like my credibility is shot, or even losing credibility, by telling you like, dude, this is only entertainment. Don’t get it twisted.”

what? Mannie is back with wayne? Now that’s a reunion! I’m actually gonna listen to this!
Yeah man!
I got roosters on the street corner, that’s a cock block.
If Big Sean aint no it it’s a sure dud. Wayne got wack after Tha Carter 2
Fuck that Tyga backstabbing bitch. That idiot wants out of YMCMB just because he didn’t get his release date that he wanted (which would result in him being crushed.). Let me tell you without YMCMB, tyga wouldn’t be shit in the rap game. Don’t believe me, go to tyga’s twitter account.
If tyga didn’t have gudiance from ymcmb, he would be another broke wack ass rapper.
Yo, I feel ya man. I wonder if Kayne Kardashian had something to do with it. He was only supposed to produce a beat in exchange for executive producer credit but he must have filled tyga’s mind with lies about his label. You know Tyga gonna bomb if kayne wanted him on his label as no artist from GOOD music has ever had a hit single.
Na I doubt its about the release date..
Tyga is a gimmick rapper, he doesnt care about being credible or around for a long time.
He needs to strike whilst the irons hot and get paid whilst he is popping.
YMCMB hasnt been paying him, even though Rack City was a hit and he was on the Motto.
Tyga should leave cos YMCMB will never give him his dues as long as Drake is running the game as he is right now
That no check statement was also bullshit as mack maine has been paying him.
Nicki flopping lil Wayne pushed back only drake is doing #
