Lil Wayne's album was released yesterday.

He recently revealed he loves listening to Nirvana's 1991 rock anthem Smells Like Teen Spirit.

"I was a real big fan of that because I was young. Do you remember The Box? Because of that you had to sit down and watch about ten videos you do not wanna see. But Smells Like Teen Spirit was the only rock song that come on and you'd be like, That one is OK, I can deal with that one," he laughed in an interview with MTV. (C) Cover Media
