Rap fans in love with Jay-Z and Kanye West’s joint album, Watch the Throne, can brace themselves for another release by a different hip-hop dynamic duo: Lil Wayne and Drake.
Although he didn’t name a tentative date, Cash Money Records founder Bryan “Baby” Williams confirmed with XXL that Weezy and Drizzy will definitely be putting out a collaborative album together well after each deliver their respective solo efforts.
“Wayne and I recently talked about [the Weezy/Drake collabo album],” Baby told XXLMag.com. “That’s definitely going to get done.”
Birdman promises that Wayne and Drake will offer up a different sound from that of Jay and ‘Ye.
“It’s older versus younger,” Baby said. “I listened to a few songs [off Watch the Throne] and it feels like an older feel to me. I think with Drake and Wayne, they young. They young cats. You got 23 and 28. Then you got Jay-Z and them, who are older and really on their way out the game. Then you got Wayne and Drake and them, who are still youthful to the game. So, it’s two different types of music all the way across the board.
“But what they’re doing is great,” he added. “I think it’s great for the game, great for the business, great for retail as a whole. I just think when Wayne and Drake get together is going to be something real special also because we more youthful.”
While a Wayne and Drake joint LP is certainly something to look forward to in the foreseeable future, the Cash Money/Young Money camp currently has all its sights set on Weezy’s Tha Carter IV, which drops on August 29, followed by Drake’s sophomore LP, Take Care on October 24. —Mark Lelinwalla
was that a shot that birdman just threw at Jay-Z and Kanye West. Saying they’re old. I think Jay-Z has already proved that age means nothing when it comes to good music with the Blue Print 3 and how many Grammy’s do Kanye and Jay-Z have compared to the 1 that Wayne has and that Grammy speech that Drakes been saving for 2-3 years. I say all that to say this. Kanye and Jay-Z did something groundbreaking with watch the throne. The production, lyrics, delivery, and even the presentation of the album were genius. I doubt that can be duplicated. Kanye is not leaving the game for long time and maybe Jay-Z soon but they have nothing to prove now to anyone. That’s why they made WTT. They’re the best to do it in the 21st century.
woww this nicca really on Ye and Jigga’s nuts… WTT is worse than their solo albums so it’s definitely not groundbreaking. this nicca buying in to all the hype
yo blud r u dizzy wtt is gnna b d best album even though i lky wayne carter 4 aint got shit on wtt it may only sell bcos most of d youth now do not really have taste in music i mean wat does ‘real g’s move in silence lyk lassagne’ so bignig u r really a bigdick who doesnot what he is talkin about
DRAKE IS 24 U DUMBS
OMG, WE ALL SAW THIS COMING……I KNOW I DID. WAYNE NEEDS TO GET OFF JAY’S DICK WITH THAT “CARTER” SHIT AND NOW THIS. HIP HOP HAS “NO IDEAS ORIGINAL”
“Tha Carter” isn’t a Jigga dickride, “Tha Carter” refers to the building in “New Jack City”. Carter is also Lil’ Wayne’s last name too. lol GTFO.
hey birdbrain, jay & ye been holding it down for 15 summers combined, that’s longer than weezy & drizzy’s careers combined, do the math dummy! p.s. true art has no age limit, their sound isn’t “old” just your archaic view on what rap music should sound like.
right on brother
Thumbs UP! Them YMCMB niccas need to get a life.
Umm…wayne put out an album when he was 15, so he’s been in the game for 13 years AT LEAST. which makes this whole “longer than wayne and drizzy combined” shit false.
but I do agree that Jay & Kanye are currently runnin’ shit better than Wayne & Drake are. But that doesn’t mean Wayne & Drake suck.
Honestly. I had heard that whole ROC & GOOD music vs YMCMB debate. But The Throne has been the most successful black rappers of the decade. Jay-z has proven to be more successful in two decades. This is fact unlike “who your favorite rapper is” which is opinion. Alot comes with business experience of the game. Example: I can almost guarantee you that WTT will sell more that Carter 4. BC they’re including a paid digital copy of their album within their WTT tour ticket prices. And come on even if you hated the album you still gonna see their show. Its the content you put out and the business model you got to support it. Also wayne been in the game for a while and 50 cent (yes even 50 cent) has went more time platinum in his first 2 albums then wayne did in his whole career. Shoot even Game has the same # of platinum albums (3) as wayne and you never hear that dude on the radio.
Bad Meets Evil is still better than both these 2 duos… WTT was decent but i wasnt feelin it that much… but Hell: the Sequel was sick nd theres no way drake nd wayne can come close to the level that Em nd Royce got on when they made that EP
yeah, Bad Meets Evil is and always will be better then The Throne lol
Drake and Weezy are straight ass. They used to be dope. I used to get down wit both em but fuckm now. All garbage music ocmin outta YMCMB.. its too bad too cuz I was hopin they empire was gonna be next.
wtf is this idiot talking about “we younger”? There’s no WE in that. Birdman is 42 years old trying to talk about some “we younger”.
smh at the dude who thinks Bad Meets Evil is anywhere near the talents of WTT. Em is washed up he has nothing to say but farting sounds and shit and Royce da 5’9 is a NOBODY. Drake and wayne are easily gonna have a solid effort but not betta than WTT IMO. but Birdman is an idiot for keep sayin they younger, non intelligent ass nicca
