He may be dropping one of the most anticipated album of the decade, but according to Drake, he is still incapable of filling the shoes of his incarcerated labelmate, Lil Wayne. During an interview with MTV News, the Young Money rapper said that while he will try and keep the label in the forefront he wouldn’t want to be responsible for taking the entire crew on his back.
“I can never hold down Young Money because I’m not Lil Wayne,” insisted Drake.
“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 it 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,” he added.
Drake’s debut, Thank Me Later, will be released on June 15th, and features collaborations with Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I., Swizz Beatz, The-Dream, Lil Wayne, Boi-1da, and others. The project’s lead single, Over, is currently resting comfortably at number 15 on Billboard’s Top 100 chart, while his second single, Find Your Love, is currently at the number 20 spot.
