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.

Yesterday closed out the first week sales numbers for Game’s The R.E.D. Album and it was a good one for him. The rapper’s fourth studio album debuted at #1 on the charts with 97,000 copies sold. The album surpassed Watch The Throne for the top spot which has currently sold over 700k copies since its release. This marks Game’s third number one album (if you remember LAX Files missed the top spot by just over 1,000 copies back in 2008).
Sidebar: He’ll be ousted by his boy Weezy next week who is looking at around 800-900k first week numbers. Crazy, yes.

Game’s Next Album Will Have No Features Or Name Drops
The 1500 Or Nothin member and Co-Executive Producer of Game’s The R.E.D. Album dropping tomorrow, sat down with MTV Mixtape Daily to discuss Game’s fifth studio album (the one he was tweeting about over the weekend). Damn! Mars said that Game is taking a different approach to his last album on his Interscope record deal:
“Me and Game was in the studio yesterday,” Mars revealed. “We did two songs. That’s coming along crazy. We’re going to have no features: It’s just him rapping. No name dropping, no little things people say is cliché about Game. It’s just putting on the boxing gloves and going for what we know.”
He also expressed his thoughts on The R.E.D. Album and his part in creating it:
“We’d been working on The R.E.D. Album for three years. Just seeing my name on the credits right when you open the album, that was pretty exciting. As well as being in good company with Pharrell and Game and Dre, that’s the icing on the cake. Especially being a producer, growing up listening to their sounds and them being a big influence on my production.”
