Travis Barker, Lil Wayne, and Rick Ross Connect on “Gimme Brain”
Written by SOURCE on December 13, 2019
The love between Travis Barker and the hip-hop world is undeniably mutual. Over the past several months, the blink-182 drummer has joined forces with 03 Greedo, the Suicideboys, Yungblud, Machine Gun Kelly, and Vic Mensa. On Thursday, Barker extended his list of rap collaborations by reuniting with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross on “Gimme Brain.”
“I’mma rich n***a with a big gun/Turn around, I’mma watch you like a sitcom,” Wayne raps. “I’mma smash, I’mma smash like a fist pump/Full gun clip, full gun clip, gimme brain, gimme brain, no dumb shit.”
Barker teamed up with Wayne and Rozay on his 2011 solo album Give the Drummer Some. Barker and Weezy also hit the road together over the summer for the blink-182 and Lil Wayne North American Tour.
“I always loved Lil Wayne’s music, even from like the Hot Boys days,” Barker told The Fader while discussing the co-headlining tour. “…For me, I really, really don’t enjoy touring with bands that kind of sound like us. I feel like it’s kind of boring and old school.”
You can listen to “Gimme Brain” now on Apple Music and Spotify.
