Lil Wayne's Greatest Guest Features: Ranked

The biggest Hip Hop single released this past week is from the rising young MC Cordae. His soulfully-fueled lyrical exercise single, “Saturday Mornings,” features the legendary Lil Wayne, who murders him on his own shit.

It’s no surprise. It’s something Dwayne Carter has been doin’ for decades. For the right price, he can even make your shit tighter.

With such an extensive catalog, it’s hard to keep track of Weezy’s cannon of musical assists, but no worries, the GOAT of Hip Hop Journalism is here to save the day.

Strike your lighter, we’re goin’ in.

25. Cordae feat. Lil Wayne “Saturday Mornings” (2024)

His latest is one of his greatest as Mr. Carter masterfully proves he’s “a goat” and not “a sacrificial lamb.”

24. Rapsody feat. Lil Wayne “Raw” (2024)

Over some soothing boom bap, Weezy serves it up short and sweet.

23. Big Sean feat. Lil Wayne “Deep” (2015)

“I feel like Sean don’t get enough shine.” Even when he’s gracious, he’s still a killer assassin.

22. Young Thug feat. Lil Wayne “Take Kare” (2014)

Still can’t believe this came together. The teacher and the student. Rich Gang!

21. T.I. feat. Lil Jon, Trick Daddy & Lil Wayne “Stand Up” (2004)

Weezy F. closes the show on this rowdy Southern spectacle.

20. Tyga & YG feat. Lil Wayne “Brand New” (2023)

Ain’t nothing changed, Wayne smoked this. “This muthafucka don’t miss.” Word to Snoop Dogg.

19. Benny The Butcher feat. Lil Wayne “Big Dog” (2024)

From “New Orleans to Buffalo,” Tunechi’s bars will muzzle all you sucker MCs.

18. Jay Rock feat. will.i.am & Lil Wayne “All My Life (In the Ghetto)” (2008)

Wayne co-signs the underground TDE movement. Top ain’t looked back since.

17. The Game feat. Lil Wayne “My Life” (2008)

Birdman Jr.’s sombering chorus overshadows the song. Funeral music.

16. Rick Ross feat. Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy & Trick Daddy “Luxury Tax” (2008)

“We don’t get ridiculed / We get rid of fools.” Carter commandeers Rozay’s captivating composition.

15. Rick Ross feat. Lil Wayne “Thug Cry” (2014)

Another Roberts-Carter pairing but this one is criminally underrated. I can bump this one to infinity.

14. OutKast feat. Lil Wayne & Snoop Dogg “Hollywood Divorce” (2006)

“The hurricane come and took my Louisiana home / And all I got in return was a darn country song.” Damn shame.

13. Tyler, The Creator feat. Lil Wayne “Hot Wind Blows” (2021)

Even more satisfying than “Smuckers.” Tunechi and Tyler make a great combination, don’t they?

12. Fat Joe feat. Lil Wayne “Make It Rain” (2006)

“I’m in this bitch with the Terror.” The Scott Storch-produced strip club anthem is anchored by another amazing Wayne hook.

11. Birdman feat. Lil Wayne “Always Strapped” (2009)

“Keep talking and I can make my soldiers pop.” Who are you “muggin’” at? You don’t want zero problems. Like father, like son.

10. Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne & Drake “Seeing Green” (2021)

Sometimes the mentor has to “take his Balenciaga mask off” and put his two protégés in their place as Weezy shows Nicki and Drake how to do this, son.

9. Playaz Circle feat. Lil Wayne “Duffle Bag Boy” (2007)

2 Chainz‘s first taste of individual success came courtesy of his group being blessed by Wayne’s monumental “If I don’t do nothing, I’ma ball” refrain. Get money!

8. Birdman feat. Lil Wayne “Pop Bottles” (2007)

With a charming Weezy opening verse, Baby celebrates another victory lap. And the winner is: Cash Money.

7. Drake feat. Lil Wayne “The Motto” (2011)

Weezy gets whimsical with a Sir Mix-A-Lot reference and playful lyrics over Drizzy’s Bay Area-inspired bounce track.

6. Drake feat. Lil Wayne “Miss Me” (2010)

“I’ll be gone ’til November.” Before serving his Big Apple bid, Wayne brought the ruckus to this key single from The Boy’s major label debut, Thank Me Later.

5. Lloyd feat. Lil Wayne “You” (2007)

Major moves from two New Orleans-bred artists as Weezy F. Baby aided Lloyd with his widely-acclaimed, post-Murder Inc. hit. We love it like cooked food.

4. Destiny’s Child feat. T.I. & Lil Wayne “Soldier” (2004)

With a recommendation from Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, Wayne connected with Beyoncé’s group and allowed his raw authenticity to shine through pop polish.

3. Juvenile feat. Mannie Fresh & Lil Wayne “Back That Azz Up” (1998)

“Drop it like it’s hot.” Closing the show like the champion he is, Wayne adds the finishing vocal touches to this Southern rap classic.

2. B.G. feat. Birdman, Turk, Lil Wayne, Mannie Fresh & Juvenile “Bling Bling” (1999)

We’re gonna be alright if we put Wayne on every hook. The creator of the term “Bling Bling,” Wayne shared his lyrical riches with his fellow Cash Money Millionaires.

1. DJ Khaled feat. Akon, T.I., Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Birdman & Lil Wayne “We Takin’ Over” (2007)

This is the moment when we collectively realized that the Hot Boy was his own man. Hall of Fame career soon solidified. We thank Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. for it all.
