Drake Says He’s Not Replacing Lil Wayne

[vodpod id=Video.3706612&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dvid%253D520390%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A520390]

While Dwayne serves out the remainder of his jail sentence, Drake says he’s not stepping on the toes of the Young Money general and that his music represents the crew as a whole. Great team player.

“You know what, man? I rap and I rap very confident. But in my actually head, I can never hold down Young Money because I’m not Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne is who we look up to. He’s our mentor. I will definitely do everything to keep the brand going, keep Young Money on people’s minds. But Lil Wayne is the only one — he’s the epicenter of that all. I definitely don’t wanna take on that responsibility. I just wanna put out this album, give the people this great music and have the people understand it’s coming from Young Money. If you do enjoy it, then please, give all the credit to Young Money because that’s who I represent. But as far as me being able to ‘hold it down,’ that’s not even a conversation. Lil Wayne is Lil Wayne. He’s my hero, my mentor and he’s the reason I’m here. I do it in honor of him as opposed to filling the void.”

    I’ll thank you now for the awesome newsflash. Seriously groundbreaking work here.

  16. Jay Fingers says:

    Haha @ 48 Laws. Some people just don’t know, which is why they’ll forever be on the bench.

    This did make me think, though, aside from Wayne and Nicki, there’s no YM on Thank Me Later, right? Hmmm.

  17. PrettyChicoWhatDeyCalledEm says:

    @48 Laws

    tell that to tony montana mang

  18. Gusto says:

    And to think folks on here diss Banks for sticking by 50 no matter what happens…. SMH… true Loyalty is scarce in today’s messed up game so you gotta appreciate it. I dunno bout Drake though… he always sounds like he’s trying to say the “right” or “smart” thing. Let’s see if he’s with YM in 5 years.
