![]() ![]() The beat never really switched and Drake and Wayne got shown up by 2 Chainz. I remember liking this track a lot more when it first came out, but compared to these other tracks, it doesn’t come close for me. Despite solid verses, they’re also pretty forgettable and in a discussion about Wayne and Drake. This song is also pretty low because it’s basically a Nicki song while Drake and Weezy provide “clean-up” afterwards. But it is remembered more than the previous tracks I mentioned above, so this seemed like a fair spot. I hardly remember Drake and Wayne’s verses, and the diss track to Remy Ma was wack to me. It’s a miss for me.ģ2) No Frauds - Nicki Minaj’s single - (2017)Ĭam is more of a fan of this track than me, I think it could’ve been the lowest for me personally. This manifested itself into one of the better verses from him around this time, then one of the more atrocious verses from Wayne followed. This was a period of time where Drake was still trying to prove himself from all the “you’re too soft because you’re light-skinned and sing” commentary. And it was cool, then Weezy used his autotune voice and that ended my enjoyment of it. Punchline Drake was all over this track and it makes sense considering it is Wayne’s legendary Dedication series. Maybe it was the smooth soul sample or the “I’m Single” reminiscent hook but it really was a lackluster performance for the artists we’re talking about here. I remember this song blowing up when it came out but to this day I don’t really know why. Wayne seemingly started deteriorating as a lyricist at this point. This song could’ve lived way longer than it did but clearly at 35 we have more than enough to look forward to than “Pass the Dutch”.ģ4) With You - I Am Not a Human Being (2010) While I understand that this was the coming out party for the Young Money collective, I wish they didn’t put every single member on every song. Cool beat, slick rapping but outside of the listening party me and Cam had, I haven’t ever gone back to that track. It says a lot about my hate for most of the YM roster outside of Nicki Minaj and Tyga. Honestly, this could’ve been ranked higher if it was just Drake and Wayne. I don’t know what the culture was going through in ‘09 that demanded this but in hindsight, they could’ve kept this one.ģ5) Pass the Dutch - We Are Young Money (2009) To be a song by two rap legends on what some consider to be his best project, if not close too, this song just didn’t live up to even the lowest of standards. The beat was so boring, the Santigold feature is a headache and it aged like milk on a 97 degree day in the blistering sun. This was the unusual miss from the pair on Drake’s So Far Gone tape. You just sat through eight artists to be underwhelmed… congratulations.ģ6) Unstoppable (Remix) - So Far Gone (2009) Not to mention neither artist had a notable verse to make this entirely too long song anymore bearable. You have to get through four minutes and eight artists before you even hear Drake or Wayne. This song is just entirely too long, with 10 features of the Young Money crew which most of them outside of the greats are bad. This led to some songs losing more points over others based on if an artist didn’t have a huge part on the record, namely the 30 second Wayne verse at the end of Successful that I completely forgot was there seeing that Drake and Trey Songz go on for three plus verses, among others. Also, not just based on how good each song sounded, this is a Lil Wayne and Drake best collabs list so we also took into account the level of their verses, flow, and level of participation. During our three hour listening session we ranked each song out in a tier from trash to god tier. Specifically, where Bedrock and Successful landed. We included songs that had them together on anything, whether it was their own music or being featured on other collaborations.īefore we get started, let’s just note how we got to the order that these are in because there are definitely a few surprises along the way. It had to! It took us three hours to accomplish, and it was the most fun I ever had. Me and Cam Jackson have decided to list all of the collabs from first to last, because honestly it just needed to be done. They have made some of the biggest hits that rap has ever seen… but also have been a part of some tracks I wish I never heard. The collaborations between the Young Money franchise players is staggering with 37 songs together. So when we talk about these guys, there is a lot of history behind them. There are only four rappers to sell a million copies of an album in a week Drake and Wayne are two of the four. Both guys have contributed to making the genre as enjoyable as it is today and the numbers back that up. ![]() Lil Wayne and Drake are superstars in the hip-hop world, that isn’t in question. ![]()
