[...] gave us the review from the blazing hot (at least in noise being made) We Are Young Money. Shelz hit us with a Classic Clash from The Coup. From there we had a two part interview with [...]

i have to agree with the review. it was pretty dead on. Drake is far ahead of everyone else on YM..very obvious. album sounded like a mixtape for the most part. but the last track wasn’t bad…could get rid of the dude soundin like a 10 yr old girl (no offense to 10 yr old girls). Niki is aight. she can get a bit annoying at times and she tries to rap like wayne waay too much. Shanelle isn’t that hott (voice-wise)…heard better. her voice sounds very manipulated to me. i have hope for the crew tho. good luck to all of em (besides the teen rappers).

and anyone notice that bow wow wasnt up here? did he feel he was above this? right now he should be fighting for any publicity he could possibly get.

Hello Gentlemen:

I will address Jake first. I am not negating that Young Money fans will love this album. What I’m implying is that only Young Money fans will love this album, which isn’t saying much in the grand scheme of things. I’m glad we can agree that Drake is the staple of Young Money Entertainment. That’s not to imply that the other rappers are garbage, but that they appear that way when paralleled on an album with someone like Drake or Wayne.

Steve, I’m not implying that Jay-Z failed at being a CEO of a label, but rather that being a CEO wasn’t his strong point. I cannot name one single artist on his label that grew to be a phenomenal talent. And that’s not a slight to the artists under his umbrella, but it speaks to his ability to develop another artist. Rightfully speaking, the only artist that has received critical success under his sole guidance is Rihanna. Wayne is just beginning to utilize his role at President and CEO of Cash Money to develop other artists. His success can’t be measured just yet, but if this album is any indication, he has his work cut out for him. Drake (like, let’s say a Kanye West) pulls his own weight.

And to my last commentator, I like “Pass the Dutch” too

In addition to what Jake said, the review is question from the start by making the Jay-Z Lil Wayne CEO comparison. The only CEO mistake you can say Jay-Z made was working at Def Jam. Even then you had a bunch of over the hill past their prime NY only rappers, and Jay answered to LA Reid and other people at Def Jam/Universal who controlled the budget.

People need to get over that. Method Man, LL Cool J, Beanie Sigel etc… their time is DONE!!! True, they may still make some decent music, but nothing marketable, and nothing the world wants to hear.

Sorry but this is a ridiculous review, any Young Money fans I know love this album..Wayne has already showed he has what it takes, look how much Young Money is blowing up. And yeah, Drake is the best on YME, but the other rappers all have solid lyrics on most of their tracks…Not sure how you can say Young Money isn’t a sure bet when they are on fire right now, and are just gonna continue rolling
