Lil Wayne appears on the front cover of VIBE Magazine for the October and November issue. The front cover questions whether he is still hip-hops leading man, which proves to be a very confronting issue to him and his many supporters. Let me know what you think about Weezy’s current position in hip-hop in the comments section. He is interviewed about several different topics in the magazine: Drake being competition, if hip-hop influenced the riots in England, the song dissing Jay-Z, and a collaboration project with Rick Ross.
Check out this video of Lil Wayne talking about Drake not showing up much on his tour and his plans to get his passport to travel around the world and go on tour overseas after the NBA Finals are over. Sounds like a good plan for Weezy and we will look forward to more new music and pictures being released from his shows.
In this video above, rappers Lil Wayne and Drake talk backstage at the Grammy Awards about their Super Bowl predictions. It’s pretty obvious who Lil Wayne is picking to win. Drake couldn’t go against what Weezy said either so he talks about how the New Orleans Saints have been playing with a lot of heart. Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts are definitely an offensive force that most sports fans hate to see play against their home team. It does seem like the majority of football fans are rooting for the New Orleans Saints to win because of the Katrina disaster. But after its all said and done, who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? The colts. Now that’s just my super bowl prediction.
In a recent interview with LL Cool J, he talks about how hip hop and rap has changed over the years and how Lil Wayne and Drake are now top of the game. LL Cool J made a point to emphasize how music these days seems to be focused around a catchy chorus, where as in his days it was more focused on the lyrics. He talks about how the beat and chorus are what some kids want to hear these days, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but how hip hop just needs to grow and evolve with it. He made a point to talk about Weezy and Drizzy, and even mentioned how he likes “Best I Ever Had”, even with the chorus.
Now after signing with Young Money, Drake is talking about working with Lil Wayne for the rest of his career because of the chemistry the two have together and how Lil Wayne put himself out there to promote Drake. He feels that signing to Young Money was necessary to show Weezy that he appreciates what he’s done for him.
“To go independent is — like I said in a prior interview — it’s a funny term,”
Drake told MTV News on Tuesday, addressing the deal that finds his albums being released on Wayne’s independent Young Money label (which is affiliated with Cash Money Records) and being distributed by the major Universal Republic.
“Because it’s almost impossible to go fully independent. This was basically like the closest thing I could get to my own independence, to sort of continuing to be that guy to the fans that, you know, is trying to prove something — trying to prove that it can be done. So with that being said, I signed directly to Cortez Bryant and Gee Roberson, my two managers, and their company Inspire. It’s a joint venture with Young Money, so that’s the deal. I know there’s been a lot of stuff on the Internet about different entities, but that’s the people involved in the main record deal. And then it’s distributed through Universal, so it’s great, man. You know, if we can sell some records I think it could be a pretty legendary situation.”
Even though Drake decided to stay with his managers (who also manage Lil Wayne), he said he loved the courting process.
