Lil Wayne Discusses Total Slaughter, 2003 Battle Between Murda Mook & Jae Millz

Prior to Total Slaughter this past Saturday (July 12), we heard from various mainstream artists including Dr. Dre, Pusha T and Macklemore regarding the event. Today, in episode 21 of his “Weezy Wednesdays” series, we heard from Lil Wayne who offered his thoughts on the battles at Total Slaughter and Battle Rap in general.

The YMCMB rapper began by sharing his views on the Battle Rap culture saying it’s very dope and that battling “can’t be done by many” including himself. Lil Wayne then went onto talk about the rematch between Loaded Lux and Murda Mook saying they are both “bananas” also referencing Mook’s 2003 battle with Young Money emcee Jae Millz.

“I did here that [Joe] Budden lost,” said Lil Wayne. “Not sure who won out of [Murda] Mook and [Loaded] Lux yet but as far as my opinion on battle rapping, I think it’s a cool sport. What I mean by that is, I think it’s something cool to do. I think what they do is very very very fuckin’ cool. Very dope. It can’t be done by many. I can be the first to say that it can’t be done by me, I don’t know how to Battle Rap. You don’t see me diss, I don’t diss people, I don’t really know how to do that. But what I think about Battle Rapping, I think it’s dope, I think it’s awesome.

“What I think about Murda Mook and Loaded Lux battling again? I think that’s fuckin’ crazy,” he continues. “Because them two niggas is fuckin’ bananas although my nigga [Jae] Millz and Mook they kind of went at it and you know I gotta go with my nigga Millz [laughs]. But I’m letting you know now, Mook, don’t come at me, dawg. Don’t swing at my neck, I’m bowing out, pause, [laughs]. I’m letting ya’ll fans know now, I ain’t fuckin’ with Mook.”

Later on in the video, Lil Wayne moves onto say if you’re a recording artist like him, it doesn’t detract from your reputation if you lose in a battle.

“I heard my nigga Hollow Da Don beat Joe Budden. I ain’t check the battle out yet, I will check it out before I give my opinion but [it’s] kind of tough, Daddy. But when you view it, if, not when, if you view it the way I view it, as a sport, as something to do, it doesn’t take too much away from you by losing it, if you’re an artist like me.”
