This “changing weather” is a double entendre. For one, he’s changing the “weather”(tone/subject) of the conversation by going from talking about a girl who he “belongs with” to talking about going to the club to see strippers.
Also, throwing money up is referred to as “making it rain” so he’s changing the weather to rainy.

Kendrick is saying, basically, that his mom gave the rap game a gift whenever she birthed him. So, if you’re in the presence of Kendrick, you’re in the presence of a present. (Note that presence and presents are homophones)
Also, he is a ‘present’ for the ‘future’.
There is a wordplay on time periods.

Nas surrounds himself with other people who are “gettin' money”, just like him.
To be a hustler has many meanings, but the most general one is someone who will get his money by any means.
“Numbers” was a game in the 70’s and 80’s run by organized crime groups, where people would bet. A “number runner” is a person who would run to bars, barbershops, etc., where people would place their bets. This guy would then take the bet money back to the organized crime group.
Maybe these professional money- getters are distant relatives of Nas
