The rapper took a break from recording in the studio to post a video response to a series of tweets from Lil Wayne, who hinted that he would soon be making his exit from the rap game.

"This is a public service announcement..," a drunk Lamar says in between joyfully rapping through some of Wanye's early hits. "N*gga talking about retiring and shit--fuck that," he exclaimed.

Lamar, who released a mixtape in 2009 based off of Lil Wayne's Carter 3 album, wasn't the only rapper who was upset by the tweets from Wayne expressing he was mentally defeated and desired to leave the industry gracefully.

Missy Elliot responded, offering prayers and support to the rapper.

Drake, who was signed by Lil Wayne, also penned a tribute to the rapper on Instagram, saying "we are fighting until you get yours."
