Lil Wayne’s Master Plan
With tracks off Drake’s soon to be released album, Take Care, already breaching the Billboard Top Ten before the album release we can start to visualize that the YMCMB crew may be passing down the torch. Business strategy, fate, who knows, but Drizzy’s following and musical output can now be put along the same lines as his master, Lil Wayne. As Weezy approaches 30 (now 29), his glamour will no longer contain the same Young Money swagger it once had. We can view this as Drake, now 25, overcoming the natural tale of time, replenishing the YMCMB motto (with counterpart Nicki Minaj, now 28, drawing in the female market). Ultimately, the growing YMCMB business will grant Lil Wayne enough money to live to old age in immense steadily growing wealth. He has accomplished his ultimate goal, and soon Dr. Carter can sit back and hope his Young Money farm team raises another YMCMB star into the majors. - S.R.

DJ Khaled Tells MTV Rick Ross’s “God Forgives, I Don’t” Is A Classic (Video)
DJ Khaled the illest hype man in the game is getting a lot of interview time right now because of his new album We The Best Forever dropping this past Tuesday, but here he’s talking about his man The Bawse. In the MTV interview Khaled says:
“God Forgives, I Don’t is a classic-in-the-making. Let me tell you something right now: This album is so crazy from the beginning of what I’ve been in the studio hearing already,” he told MTV News on Wednesday (July 20). “I can’t give you too much because I’m going to let him do that, because that’s his project, but I could tell you right now it’s classic and he is talking that talk.”
Still no release date on God Forgives, I Don’t but I see that coming in the near future.

For the release of his brand new album, first on Cash Money, DJ Khaled sat down with Billboard to discuss the album track by track. There’s been a few records off the album in heavy rotation already. Khaled had this to say about “I’m On One“:
“This song has a special story because I’ve been trying to get Drake to do a verse on my album for… it took me like a whole full year. In a good positive way, nothing negative. Just his schedule, his creative process to get things done. Actually Drake was heavily involved. Actually he blessed me as well as Ross, Lil Wayne, just the whole team.”
We The Best Forever is available now.
