Birdman Confirms Lil’ Wayne/Drake Album

Published: Friday 12th Aug 2011 by Rashad

That Grape Juice asked readers yesterday to weigh the impact of Kanye West and Jay-Z‘s joint effort ‘Watch the Throne’.  Now, reports have surfaced indicating two of hip hop’s other heavyweights have already put those wheels in motion – Lil’ Wayne and Drake.  Revealed by Cash Money founder/rapper Birdman to our friends at XXL, the Young Money duo is preparing a joint release after their respective ‘Tha Carter IV’ (August 29th) and ‘Take Care’ (October 24) albums.

Birdman stated:

“It’s older versus younger.  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.”

No title or tentative release date has been confirmed.

    Birdman needs to stop. Cant stand his ass, talking bout jay z aint making money like them. Jay z vs Young Money and Jay Z still win, “On their way out the game”, Jay left and came back , ppl want to see him, Deny it or not Jay a legend , lyrical abltiy is beast , To me wayne aint. None of young money really, specially not Nicki, and drake needa stop singing all the damn time.

    Birdman needs to sit down some where, because Jay and Ye are not about to leave the game? He’s just hating because they can’t make anything as good as Watch The Throne. And how does Watch The Throne sound old? Kanye is just 34 and Jay-Z is 41. There not 60. SMH!

    “You got 23 and 28. Then you got Jay-Z and them, who are older and really on their way out the game.” <—- LMAO 🙂

    Yeah, it seems that Birdman is still bitter about that Jay-Z "you got that Baby money" crack….LOL!

  18. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 12, 2011

    Just when I thought that there would be nothing worse than WTT…If Drake and Wayne do something together, it’s going to be so embarassingly, prepostrously, inappropriately WACK that my ears won’t cope with it.And dead @Birdman.”I’ve heard some songs from WTT”, honey, we know you’ve heard it all twice and then called the producers to book them.And he thinks Kanye and Jay are on their way out?I don’t like Jay, but he’s massively successful (while also criminally overrated) and Kanye is the biggest rapper along with Eminem right now.Drake won’t even get a 3rd album and Wayne’s time is up.

    Well WTT was mediocre at best, but it’ll still sound better than anything that comes from Fluff Money *shrugs*

    DRAKE AND WAYNE WERE ALREADY PLANNING THIS BEFORE HE WENT TO JAIL!!! JAY-Z HEARD IT HE COPIED IT NOT DRAKE AND WEEZY DUMBFUXS

  29. Malibu Barbie August 12, 2011

    do you notice how they disrespect kanye and jay once again using the same old.. hes older. shes older. wer younger so wer better than them..
    they havent really been SLAYED yet… cuz they run their mouth too much … same with nicki.. she said the same ass thing about kim shes old and all that. yet u copied off her.
    these coons called kanye n kay old yet they copied their idea. ICANNOT DEAL with these clones and disrespectful ass artists. its so annoying to watch.and no1 says anything about it

  30. jamir21: bey,rih,gaga,brit SHITS on janet & keri ! August 12, 2011

    Jay-Z & Kanye >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lil Wayne, Birdman, and Drake !

  31. Anthony August 12, 2011

    Come birdman, there is a point and time that even if you don’t like someone you have to recognize their talents. Kayne and Jay z brought it, the video and song of otis is really good. Age doesn’t mattter, its what you bring to the table, and Jay z and kayne got it. Besides, Kayne is not old man, he is still of good age. And when is it since age is an issue in music

  32. Michelle Michelle August 12, 2011

    I’m sure I’ve seen Birdman’s trying to rap recently. It sucked because he’s not talented not cause he’s old.. Ask one of the youngin’s to put it on wax or be quiet.

    If Drake leaves YM y’all are done.

  33. black August 12, 2011

    This man be trying to thro’ shade at jay z all the time…Birdman need to sit his 80 year old ass down.

  34. scorpio August 12, 2011

    Lol! This fool is about to embarrass himself AGAIN!

  35. Leila August 12, 2011

    I don’t like birdman. Drake and Lil Wayne could make better beats than Kanye and Jayz on this album.. I like 2 songs on watch the throne. There not enough melody and I don’t like the beat on many songs. But they are great together. I just think Drake and Wayne can bring good beats and goods shitt more. Because they are more young but very actual.

  36. vicious vixen August 12, 2011

    Isn’t he older than Jay & Kanye and still calling himself Baby (what grown man does that)? Sittin up there singing “I am on a 24 hour champagne diet”… Then giving interviews throwing shade at folks and he’s sounding like he needs some “Hooked on Phonics” in his life. C*** PLEASE! He’s such a drama QUEEN… Always trying to start something with Jay. Just admit that Wayne will NEVER be better than Jay-Z OR Kanye…

    Nas >>>>>>> Jay-z
    Mos Def >>>>>>> Kanye
    J. Cole >>>>>>> Drake
    *Insert ANY name (even yours) here* >>>>>>> Baby
    J. Cole, Jay-Z & Kanye >>>>>>>> Wayne, Baby & Drake

    —————————
    ^^^ THIS. A drake/kanye album would suck

    1Drake would sing on 99% of the hooks(who the f*** wants to listen to that on an entire LP)
    2Wayne’s rapping tends to go fom what subject to the other ,his rapping is not very cohesive,Drake rapping is very cohesive and understandable on a track it would be confusing ..an album lawwd help us
    3 It would be braggin about money,cars,h***,and fake blood thuggin and reppin
    4last but not least why the album wont work …Baby/Birdman none rappin a** would have to make an appearance

  43. Why do ppl who claim they have jobs are always commenting in every post??? (queenbey) August 12, 2011

    @VICIOUS VIXEN- LMAO

  44. nice_gurl August 12, 2011

    Birdman says it WTT sounds old. It’s rapping at it’s best. If Wayne and Drake do a collab and it’s not a success, it will be embarrassing for Birdman who just made this statement.

  45. theman August 12, 2011

    Birdman needs to shut his bald headed milk dud looking a** up. He’s just mad because Jay is everything he ain’t. He knows that “WTT” is an excellent album. How the heck you gonna say that they are on their way out. Nah not really. He had better be grateful for Weezy because he is his cash cow. Baby ain’t ever rapped about sh*t but money cars and h***. NO LYRICAL CONTENT WHATS SO EVER…. He stay hating for a dude that has money. He needs a real occupation, so he can stop playing second fiddle to Wayne. Without Wayne there is no Baby period. Ol hating a**. Who the f*ck are you to determine something with someones career. He ain’t got shyy on Jay nor Ye. Thats why they laugh at idiots like that. Example “The Game”, he’s had more pushbacks than a receding headline. His take on “Otis” was all an attention ply because no one gives a dayum. Thats what failures do talk about things that they could only wish to be or have.

  46. theman August 12, 2011

    Classic rapping isn’t Ol, he’s just used to this monotone trash.

  47. theman August 12, 2011

    ploy*

  48. VA STAND UP!!! August 13, 2011

    LMAO! Birdman shaded the s*** out of Jay & Kanye! It’s obvious he doesn’t like them by the way he kept calling them ‘old’. I know Jay Z is 40 but Kanye ain’t that old and they both are still very relevant in the industry today! That’s obvious by how well ‘WTT’ is doing. Birdman can’t talk cause he is about the same age as Jay only difference is he puts out garbage and Jay is still making hits!

    Actually, Drake had mentioned this a while ago in an interview, sometime last year. He even said how it was his idea first & then ‘two other rappers decided they wanted do the same thing’ obviously taking shots at Jay & Kanye. It’s not surprising cause they are ALWAYS working together! Drake & Wayne are on everybody and their mama’s records! They are two of the most over exposed rappers in the game. I can’t knock their hustle but it does it quite annoying. I have a feeling this album will be highlu anticipated though.

    Honestly, I am not the biggest fan of Drake or Wayne so I’m not really looking forward to it. I’ll probably check it out though cause I wasn’t really looking forward to WTT but now I can’t stop listening to it. WTT was a lot better than I thought initially. Being that WTT came out first I am sure Wayne & Drake’s album will be compared to it. This is gonna be interesting.

    I just PRAY that Birdman will not be featured on this album at all cause he sucks ass!
