Birdman Talks State Of Young Money, Lil Wayne

    There’s no questioning Young Money’s success this year. With Lil Wayne’s Rebirth and I Am Not a Human Being, in addition to Drake’s Thank Me Later and Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday being among rap’s highest-selling releases, the collective has done extremely well.

    In a recent interview with XXLMag.com, Cash Money founder and CEO Birdman spoke about the group’s concerted effort. “Aww man, this is what we worked hard and put all of these years in for. It feels good; it’s beyond words. We look at it like this, next year we have to have more, so we have to work harder. This is just giving us different ways to motivate ourselves.”

    The former Big Tymer elaborated, explaining what it meant to accomplish all this with Young Money’s number one attraction – Lil Wayne. “We had to just buckle down. Losin’ [Wayne], that was big, so we had to go and get another motivation and that was our motivation. We wanted— just when he came home, to show the young boy what we’ve accomplished. Everybody played their part, as a team. Everybody supported each other as a team. It really brought a lot of us closer. And with [Wayne] being home, we’re even closer.

    “[Losing Wayne] was a gift and a curse. The curse is that young’n had to do the time; the gift is that we united up and everybody came to the table.”

    21. I just wanted to say that even though Young Money has there lil hang-ups, They are consistent as fuck as far as giving the masses something they want. Not everyone on the label is gonna sell (No label can do that) but they put there artists out and fulfill contracts. The media push and promo is top notch and they actually give artists a lil freedom.
      =
      Win Win.
      You can’t front

      1. they all will not sell true.. but i can say they all are getting $ and will continue gettn $.. nobody on that label does a show for under 10k and thats the so called background artist on the label!! the top three nicki drake& wayne charge a whole lot more.. im a promoter i book them thats how i know..
