The rapper, 40, helms the intro music for Skip Bayless’ new Fox Sports 1 seriesUndisputed. The song titled“Good Morning”dropped on Monday ahead of the show’s premiere.
Sports journalist and commentator Skip Bayless, 71,shared the hip-hop track on X(formerly known as Twitter).
“My brother, Lil Wayne wrote a brand new intro for the all-new Undisputed. It just might be his best yet," TheUndisputedhost wrote.
Wayneappeared on Monday’s episodeofUndisputedand spoke about the song with Bayless, who hasbecome a close friendof hisover the years. Bayless called the hip-hop star “the greatest rapper ever” and told him, “What I love about this is you get me as well, maybe even better than anyone gets me and you just nail these lyrics. And I hear ’em and I say, ‘That’s it.’ That’s the essence ofUndisputed.”
The “A Milli” musician responded, “I would hope so, I try to make everything I do better than the last thing I did. Just to impress you, just because I know how much you love ‘No Mercy.’ Just to capitalize on what you’ve done. It’s not complicated. It’s not hard. I love the challenge of it anyway. I attacked it that way, I attacked it like an exam an SAT, like if I don’t pass this, I can’t get in.”
He added, “The lyrics are so natural because our relationship and because our love for sports and because the love you have for this, forUndisputedand what we do. It’s so easy to talk about a great person. It’s too easy.”
