: MediaTakeOut.com has been telling you for MONTHS that there is a growing RIFT between rapper Drake and Lil Wayne's YOUNG MONEY.
Well now we EXCLUSIVELY found out what it's all bout. According to a member of YOUNG MONEY, Drake would like to LEAVE the label . . . and join his friend J Cole over at Jay Z's ROC NATION label.
The insider explained, "Drake likes making music with [Lil Wayne] and the rest, but he's a different dude. There's a lot of hood [ish] that goes down at Young Money, and Drake's not a hood [dude], so he wants to be away from that."
MediaTakeOut.com's insider goes on, "Drake's mother is also worried . . . She doesn't want him around gangs or drugs."
And it gets better. MediaTakeOut.com learned that JAY Z is pulling strings - to try and but Drake's contract from Bryan "Baby" Williams - Cash Money's CEO. The insider explained, "[Jay] is playing hardball, he wants Drake and he's not trying to pay too much for him. He's moving in slowly. Right now he's working [behind the scenes] on Drake's tour. Under Drake's current deal [with Cash Money], Drake owes them records, but not tours."
Currently, Drake's on tour with J COLE (A Roc Nation artist). Later this year, Lil Waye will be going on tour with ALL of the Young Money Artists (Nicki Minaj, Bow Wow, etc) - Drake will NOT be going on tour with them.
Developing . . .
~I beem knew this. Drake and Nicki Minaj both are of a different caliber than that of Young Money and move towards Jay Z would be more professional. However, Lil Wayne gave them an opportunity before anyone else would. So I think Drake should remain loyal to Wayne. Everytime someone bites the hand that feeds them...they dont eat that long..
I don't see what's the *** difference I'll say leave the industry period. Cash Money aint nothing but some straight up thugs. Why don't support ymcmb... I like Drake and Nicki don't give me wrong, I support Motown but i don't support ymcmb. once again Robbers and some *** thugs. I don't blame his mother. Roc Nation even worse, Like you sell your soul with them Young Money they sell their Soul over there with Roc Nation so what's the point. I'll free from both labels, save your talent and have your own label. It saves time, money, your talent and your soul.
Drake be careful about stabbing the hand that fed you. Remember what happened to Kanye West when he stabbed the hand of Damon Dash. Remember his mother died horribly, his career took a nose dive, and people are generally not feeling Kanye West that tough anymore. Pay Young Money what you owe, but all of this gang and drug drama, that you are NOW talking about is not cool. and about you bringing your mom into it, again, NOT COOL. They gave you your start!!!
I was just thinking about when he would leave that label last *** at work!!! I can see why he would want to join RN, but I can also understand YM wants him to stick around. Baby ain't gonna pay anybody for real, and Drake will end up in some horrific tragedy at some point...f****** with them thugs isn't a good look for him. Get out now and see your 30th birthday. Stick around, and I am not sure what will happen with your career. Call Manny Fresh and see what he has to say about them. I like him on Jay's label already.
I would like to say *** off I despise rap today and what it has turned into.
Now that that's out of the way, I think professionally that Drake would progress leaps and bounds with Roc Nation, but unfortunately, JayZ doesn't promote his artists like he should, so I think his career would flicker out.
If he stays w/ YM, they are so bubble gum poppy that he will continue to make $$, but he will be a quick fad, and once ppl are tired of him, YM will boot him.... There's no real lasting talent on that label
Jay is trying to stay relevant. He would have never given Drake a chance but now that Drake is out if you can't beat em join em. He will seduce Drake with his connections and all he can do for him take him to the next level but there will be no other level Drake will be destroyed. Jay wants to be the only one on top and he will do whatever to stay relevant and destroy and competition. Drake you better off blazin your own path than falling for Jay tricks.
I THINK YOUNG MONEY IS GREAT, BUT THEY ARE DEPENDING ON DRAKE TO BRING IN MONEY. DRAKE IS BETTER OF WITH J. COLE. DRAKE WANTS TO BE HIMSELF,AND BIRDMAN IS SAYING YOU GOTTA BE A THUG 24/7. AND TO MY BIG DAWG JAY-Z DRAKE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR AT THE END OF THE DAY. I THINK YOUNG MONEY IS GREAT, BUT THEY REALLY FOCUSED ON NICKI MINAJ IN 2010-2011, DRAKE WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. HIS ALBUMS DIDN'T SELL AS MUCH.
I don't know why Nicki or Drake signed with Young Money. You could instantly tell that Drake would outgrow that whole scene. He stuck out like a sore thumb. To me, he always belonged over with Jay. Nicki, I guess I could see why she signed initially, but if this is true, I honestly expected her to jump first. Both of them have honestly outgrown YM/Cash Money. Baby and Wayne are ignorant as hell. I don't know why people even take them seriously besides the fact that they have money. Baby should have the demeanor of a J Prince and conduct it like Russell Simmons. Instead he'd rather *** it up.
If this true I don't blame Drake. I feel though he's too *** good for Young Money. Young Money and nothing but some crocks all they do is using people. They too busy focusing on Nicki because she's really a big star if he leaves i know Nicki going to be next. They just holding her back for some reason. That Bow Wow he's a *** fool for this one. Why in the world would you leave J.D. after what he did for you??? Ever since he got signed they used him too. They got him going to these slumpy shows overseas but no album yet??? He going to regret this believe me. I don't blame Drake
Intresting... I smell some Death Row Records type ish brewing. Watch yo back Drake. I been saying it. Juvenile been telling you about them *** for a while. How you think he felt and Juvenile last albums was actually the ish. Good luck Drake, I dont personally like you but I do think you have talent. This is NOT going to end well.
DRAKE BEING A SNITCH. HE JUST MAD BECAUSE WAYNE NOT SPEAKING TO HIM BECAUSE HE BANGED WAYNE'S GIRL WHILE HE WAS LOCKED UP. BUT DRAKE KNEW WHAT HE WAS GETTIN HISSELF INTO B4 HE SIGNED WITH YM. THEY TO GANGSTA FOR DRAKE HE CANT HANDLE IT LOL. BUT HE *** UP NOW BECAUSE JAY AIN'T GON LET HIM SHINE LIKE WAYNE DOING. JAY DON'T LIKE NOONE WITH RN TO BE BETTER THAN HIM. LIL KIM WAS RIGHT DRAKE AIN'T BUILT FOR DAT HOOD ISH. I DONT WANT HIM TO LEAVE. BUT ITS HIS CHOICE DIS ISH BOUT TO SPARK SOME SERIOUS BEEF BETWEEN THESE TWO LABELS SMDH. HE NEED TO GO BACK TO DEGRASSI IF HE CANT HANDEL HOOD ISH.
First off, I never thought Drake was going to fit in with Young Money. His whole style is different, he's just trying to be who Lil' Wayne wants him to be. Roc Nation is a perfect fit for Drake because of everyone on that label has lyrical talent, unlike Young Money's roster. A Drake and J. Cole collaboration would be hot!
You'll can say what you want, Cash Money is very hood but they're sitting on millions. When Drake got with Cash Money he wasn't tripping, so why tripp now. Jay Z the camel ain't nothing but a devil worshipping old man. I think Drake should stay right where he's at. *** Jay Z, he *** over a lot of people.
I love Wayne and them, but that picture with him and Ray J opening that girl's booty and pouring liquor down the crack of her azz made me change my view...It wasn't that act that did it cause she's a grown woman, but it was seeing Lil' Twist off to the left witnessing it...Twist's mom shoulda made them bring her son home right after that...
THE SNAKE (JAYZ) IS GOING IN FOR THE KILL, BUT WHAT THESE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW AND WILL FIND OUT LATER THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH ANOTHER "DIDDY".
Lil Wayne gave Drake his start he made him famous, NOW Drake and his "MOMMA" don't want him to be around "drugs and gangs", GTFOHWTBS, didn't say this when he started making $$$$$.
it is unfortunate that drake got caught up with the wrong label..and he and his mom.. should have known that all these grimlins looking dudes where shady from the get go..like red in "the four heartbeats"..or sug ***..characters..you got to look out for..they might have you hanging a window or something..drake is a outsider from canada and he is bi-racial..never work here in america..
here's my thing...it's a part of the game....you take wins and you take losses.....
it's not that he's better than Wayne and them, but he just wants a different environment now...a grown man environment...what's wrong with that? i agree the_realist...he does look like Al B. Sure and Lil' Twist's mama needs to go get her child..
If u sign with jay that will be the worst mistake you ever made let's look at how many people are signed to roc nation an the only hot one is willow smith but she got hot before she signed look at j Cole u and j Cole should be on the same level but jay barely pays this nicca any attention doesn't promote him like Wayne promoted u cuz he know jcole is better than him an he doesn't want him to be bigger than him look at how he did dame dash and all them Philly niccaz people don't forget roc nation isn't his first label look don't forget about roca fella look at all them dudes now he had a loyal *** label an dame dash was loyal to the label an the whole time he was going behind his back doing business with def jam let's look at the careers he ruined now kanye was like the only good thing that happened but dame dash wanted kanye to rap an produce jay didn't want him rapping an didn't care about him kanye owe his career to dame jay saw that kanye had to potential to be better than him but the only reason he signed ye was because he didn't want dame to have him won't be surprised if he killed ye moms to stop his career now he got him lookin crazy won't be surprised if he was slowly pushing more an more alcohol in his face making him go crazy I mean jayz is another diddy the only reason he prolly wants drake is to get back at baby and Wayne but he is gonna blackball u look at his time at def jam as the president he signed nas look at nas now an juelz contract got sold to def jam juelz should be where Wayne at but look at him dude made hits then he got shelved blackballed him idk I think he prolly hates baby cuz this ain't the first time he tried to *** dude artist he wanted to sign Wayne to but Wayne wasn't going if u sign with him u gonna be hot a lil while then he gonna sink ur career don't think everything is fine especially after the comment u made about him an ye stealing u an Wayne idea to do an album together jayz is a snake don't trust him smiling in ur face promising u the world that's how he gets u oh yea I forgot about that skank rihanna but young money an cash money promotes they artist even tho cash money got alot of artist no one ever heard of the do promote alot of them Jay Sean Kevin rudolf I Everyvideo with Derrick g they do they promoting singles an albums at the end it would be like in stores now or coming soon glasses Malone we are young money rebirth priceless pink Friday all or nothing b.g. Signed back juvenile about to sign back Turk still in jail but even teena Marie said she loved cash money an she wanted to sign back
I mean jay already has a drake on his label actually some say he's better than drake but look at where he's at look at where j Cole at he don't pay him no attention but yet he wants drake think about why he want drake if he already has someone better why he want drake why because he wanna get back at birdman an Wayne an destroy drake career

I WOULDN'T COME 100FT OF THAT FAKE UGLY PUNK BIATCH DRAKE! HE'S A PHONY *** ***. TAKE YO ASZ BACK TO CANADA. THANK YOU & BUH-BYE LOL

owell baby *** weezy was pimpin all of them all along awyways BUT roc nation got fire on the team right now lyrically, why not leave, oh yeah he gettin pimped by father *** son, if he go then minaj will *** weezy gonna b alone, cuz the rest r just ***... imagine if weezy went to rocafella when jay offered? wow.
*** MTO! I told you that *** months ago when you were always trying to print some stupid *** about him and couldnt find anything. I told you his mother is involved in his career and the reason you cant find dirt on this dude is because he keeps his nose out the dirt. He's not your average artist, but you *** are always looking for a story on him going as far as to call him *** and then make a top story about him kissing a fat girl. *** YALL ***
The dude writes music, harmonizes, his rhymes w/o music is like spoken word, and he appeals to the masses. He and Nicki alone pretty much rule the airwaves. J.Cole and Drake have similar styles and would compliment each other well. Jay Z in the past was a bad look because he would put his artist on the shelf so that he could shine. Since he's no longer making records and focusing on the business side now, he can push Drake further along and join J.Cole, Willow Smith, and Jay Electronica. Roc nation trying to be the new Bad Boy/Def Jam
LOL@PrincessCiara calling Lil Wayne an HONORABLE MAN. Now thats comedy.
Lets put aside his incarceration, drug references and violent lyrics, or the fact that he has multiple children with multiple women because he paid his taxes(which he owes). That's like applauding a man for taking care of his kids. That's what he's supposed to do you simple ***. Lil Wayne is what's wrong with society right now...LOOK AT HIM. You think Drake wants to follow Lil Waynes Lead? Hell No, he would rather follow Jay Z or Sean Combs' lead. Lil Wayne is not socially acceptable where he needs to be.
@princessciara21....i guess you were trying to spell my name, it's not suarez, it's sarai juelz.....like i said, it's the game...people leave and get dropped from labels all the time, so if he wants to leave, he needs to be able to as long as he finishes the songs or albums that they have agreed to..and I must admit, as a small independent artist, the environments i've seen with rappers is a life that will probably get old...You can only be around so many hoes getting ciroq poured down the crack of their azz before someone gets tired of seeing it....I applaud you Drake...get your grown man on.
OMG I hate YMCMB! I really hope all this is true and I also hope Drake is able 2 leave because he's way better than baby and lil wayne. Both those fools kno that 2 thats why they dont want Drake 2 go. Lord have mercy please Drake leaves those clowns. I'm really not much of a Nicki fan like I am a Drake fan but I really hope that she can FIGURE things out as well. *** them!!! Pay them what u owe and jus leave their azzes. Hell, let Tyger, Shanell, MackMain, and all the rest of the YM staff ~WE NEVER SEE NOR HEAR FROM~ make YMCMB's money. Drake should go with RN and Nicki should go with G-Unit
GET OUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY PERIOD. IT IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE IT CAN EMOTIONALLY,PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY DRAIN YOU.YES THE MONEY HELPS AND LOOKS GOOD BUT KEEPING YOUR SANITY AND SOUL INTACT LOOKS TEN TIMES BETTER.
BESIDES REHEARSING,GOING ON TOURS,PERFORMING AT CONCERTS AND HARD PROMOTIONS THAT IN ITSELF TAKES HARD WORK,PERSISTENCE,COMMITMENT,AND TIME AWAY FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
NOW WHILE GOING THROUGH ALL THAT COMES THE UNFORTUNATE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAY AT.YOU WILL HAVE TO PARTICIPATE AND ENGAGE IN THE MOST HELLISH REALM OF THINGS YOU CANNOT IMAGINE.SOME CAN HANDLE IT SOME CANNOT.
this is such a lie drake was just in a interview ealirer saying how much he loves YM and dummies the reason he is not going on tour with them is because he is *** a movie in april not to tour with jay-z and drake said when he gets done with the movie he is joining wayne on tour and FY1 the only person going on tour with wayne is nicki not all the other YM people
drake+roc nation=good move ... youg money aint *** without drake and thy know it! wayne knows that watever beat drake gets on ... he make it hot! kinda like wat wayne use to be ... and drake knows it as well ... but i agree he dont fit in wit YM! as for nicki minaj (broke *** ratchett *** imitating everyones style) <<-- barbie that ho aint *** because she dont have her own style! just another foxy brown
Drake IS NOT too good for YM. Remember Li'l Wayne went platinum in one week! There were big things happeneing at YM. YM obvisouly can spot talent and were willing to pay for it. Baby & Wayne managed to sign not one but TWO of the hottest Hip Hop artist to come out at the time. Drake and Niki should honor their contract and commitment. If Roc Nation wants Drake that bad they should have to pay dearly for him. If I were YM I wouldn't let him go...not a good look for their lable and perception is almost as important and money in show business.
For Drake, Leaving 'Cash Money'is about the best plan I have heard. First of all, Drake, though he is hot right now, is about to start sounding like TPAIN - TOO MUCH and up in everybody's kool-aid. Personally, I think the dude sounds better when he sings - his rap "voice" is way too low and dull (monotonous)- but he writes well. His opportunity to continue with a 'clean image' and not get 'caught up' in Wayne's drama, is slim-to-none with that company. Image is all too important in the entertainment business as it is - and the rap game HAS few images that are clean. Drake, listen to your Mom -
I think Young Money don't want him to go because before Drake wasn't nobody into no Young Money Lil Wayne yes but Baby and everyone else not really. I say leave before some *** start he was doing it big before them and he'll do the *** thang after him. Besides don't yall notice everyone that raps under that label all sound the same I swear they recycle lyrics more than bottles. So I say RUN DRAKE RUUUUUUUUN BABY! check out my stories www.rachelmerriweather.blogspot.com I write & Like my facebook page I cater to *** & *** audiences if your straight and curious then come to my world anyway
He should have went to the Roc to begin with. THere was a bidding war for him after his first single dropped, but i think he chose who had the heat instead of who fit what he was trying to do. Wayne and Baby are just too messy. They're always going to jail, impregnanting someone or tongue kissing dudes.
that environment seems to be holding drake back. Why he gotta make songs with whack behind people like young money crew?
when did wayne have time to bang? he's been rappin since he was like 11yrs.. but he perpetuates gang violence thru his lyrics..nobody really acknowledges it because hes a "lyrical genius" thats fine, I dont necessarily disagree w/that statement but at least acknowledge a fictional character created by the actor..
So somebody actually had the ordasity to say that j cole is better than jay-z. Lets be all the way honest. Jcole is mediocrety at its best. I congratulate anybody aspiring to make it to that next level, but lets call a spade a spade. Jay-z is one of the greatest rap artists of all time. And I base that statement off of song content and swagger, not taking into account 11 platinum albums...... Drake on the other hand is very talented. His hooks and melodies are always 100 percent authentic and his delivery is awesome. His song content is corny at times but he's cut from a different cloth, meaning you can't expect him to be so aggressive and "ra-ra" because thats not who he ever was. You must respect the the fact that jay and drake have this in common..... Making HITS!
