The homey Justin Tinsley from TheSmokingSection put together a list of Drake/Lil Wayne collabos and/or songs where they were both featured. Out of those songs, he decided to dissect each verse and see who came the hardest; (pause). Check out all the details below and let us know if you agree with them.
1) Drake Feat. Lil’ Wayne – “Brand New” (Remix)
Drake: “Is this going to last?/Are we up on a pedestal?/ Are we moving too fast?/I feel like I’m in crazy competition with the past…”
Wayne: “This here is on some remix shit/It seems like everything I do they’re leakin’ it…”
Synopsis: Granted, Wayne used Drizzy’s flow (and recorded his verse after the original), BUT he used it damn near perfectly.
Drake: 0
Wayne: 1
2) Drake Feat. Lil’ Wayne & Nutt Da Kid – “Stunt Hard”
Drake: “Who do you look up to when you’re better than your idols?/And how you posed to look when you do it with your eyes closed?/I’m everything that you just haven’t become/I spend my time trying to outdo what hasn’t been done…”
Wayne: “And I smoke that shit that smell like when you take your cast off/And I got them beach bitches, like David Hasselhoff…”
Synopsis: Even with Wayne’s admission of penning ‘all Stunna’s bars,’ Drake edges out Weezy with his own story of his eventual rise to Hip-Hop’s elite.
Drake: 1
Wayne: 1
3) Drake Feat. Lil’ Wayne & Nutt Da Kid – “I Want This Forever”
Drake: “I’m so unsigned it would blow one’s mind…”
Wayne: “I make a blue-eyed bitch just admire my red/ I’m a blood mothafucka/A Blood mothafucka/ Forever, like e-t-c period muthafucka…”
Synopsis: Look at that Drake bar. You think record labels are kicking themselves right now?
Drake: 2
Wayne: 1
4) Lil’ Wayne & Drake – “Ransom”
Drake: “I deserve a MTV show for me and my peopleAnd if you tryin’ to ‘zone’, I got a whole Swisher Sweet full/ Rappers all liars and they women are deceitful/Addin’ till they subtract me, I’ll never be an equal…”
Wayne: “I’m wit it if money is the ‘it’ you want me wit/And I probably just spit on the chick you won’t be wit/And I hate a boney bitch, only like ‘em only thick/And I own Hip-Hop, if you don’t spit, I’m gon’ evict…”
Synopsis: This is one of those tracks where I was damn near clueless on who to pick. But since ties don’t exist here, I’m siding with Weezy mainly because dude’s flow was type crazy. Then again Drake’s was as well. Argue it out amongst yourselves. The whole Karrine spill was funny too.
Drake: 2
Wayne: 2
5) Lil’ Wayne Feat. Drake – “Stuntin’”
Drake: “Fuck all the discreet shit, I get on some deep shit/ I am 21, tell me who do I compete with?/ I’m on my elite shit/ You can tell I’m real cause I’m getting hood love/ And I ain’t even talkin’ street shit…”
Wayne: “The supplement I’m taking got me filling my tee/ My gunny money don’t split, call the shit Siamese/ Yes, my watch make the frickin’ time freeze/ Your girl blessed me, she sucked my dick and I sneezed…”
Synopsis: Another difficult selection. The whole point of Dedication 3 was to showcase the talent on Young Money. Mission accomplished. Drizzy for the win with the game winning jumper.
Drake: 3
Wayne: 2
6) Drake Feat. Trey Songz & Lil’ Wayne – “Successful”
Drake: “Fans of these freshman is about iffy/While this youngin’ that you doubted is about to get busy…”
Wayne: “That’s word to Toronto/ So high up, I got birds in the condo/Ain’t that a female dog/Ask her who I am to her, and she yell ‘God’…”
Synopsis: One of the staple records which propelled Drake into the national spotlight. This was likely the most obvious out of the bunch.
Drake: 4
Wayne: 2
7) Drake Feat. Lil’ Wayne – “Ignant Shit”
Drake: “The same niggas I ball with, I fall with/On some southern drawl shit/Rookie of the Year, ‘06, Chris Paul shit…”
Wayne: “I don’t stunt, I stunt hard/And if the food ain’t on the stove, I hunt for it…
Synopsis: Wayne more than makes up for his abbreviated appearance on “Successful” with more quotables here than many can begin to catch on the first listen.
Drake: 4
Wayne: 3
8) Drake Feat. Santogold & Lil’ Wayne – “Unstoppable”
Drake: “I fall in love with girls caught up in superficial glamour/Who dress like Sarah Jessica and live like Princess Dianna…”
Wayne: “Hoe just, text me on my line you want some more dick/Mo’ dick, old bitch, young bitch/But I be like daaammmmn, all I got is one dick…”
Synopsis: Toss up. There isn’t really a “right” answer for this, but as of this very moment Wayne gets the nod.
Drake: 4
Wayne: 4
9) Drake Feat. Bun B & Lil’ Wayne – “Uptown”
Drake: “I just always did my own thing/ Now I run the game, you stupid muddasuckas/I see all this money through my Ohio State Buckeyes…”
Wayne: “Now I’m on that rock shit, but why they let me in?/I’ma start shootin’ in a mosh pit…”
Synopsis: Anytime Bun B. decides to drop a new verse, that’s always a win. However, like “Successful”, Drake gets the nod because he had more room to operate on the track. It’s not fair, but neither is life.
Drake: 5
Wayne: 4
10) Drake, Lil’ Wayne & Young Jeezy – “I’m Goin’ In”
Drake: “Never see me out cause I live in my work place/I give you the business, so button up your shirt straight/Look at where I landed, you would think I planned it/I’m just doin’ me and you could never understand it…”
Wayne: “Hello muthafucka, hey, hi, how ya dern?/It’s Weezy F. Baby come to take a shit and urine/On the toilet bowl bitches/Pussy ass niggas/Stompin’ on this beat like a muthafuckin’ Sigma…”
Synopsis: I’m sure David enjoyed the Sigma shout out, but Drake’s the one who really ‘went-in’ on this track.
Drake: 6
Wayne: 4
11) Young Money – “Every Girl”
Drake: “I would fuck with all of y’all/All of yall are beautiful/I just can’t pick one/So you can never say I’m choosey, hoes…”
Wayne: “I like a long hair, thick redbone/Open up her legs and filet mignon that pussy/ I’ma get in and on that pussy/If she let me in, I’ma own that pussy…”
Synopsis: By far the most difficult song to pick from the batch. After hearing “Every Girl” in clubs nonstop since the spring, Wayne edges this one out mainly because he had the best intro line to a verse since Boosie on “Wipe Me Down.” For a club smash, at least.
Drake: 6
Wayne: 5
12) Drake Feat. Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne & Eminem – “Forever”
Drake: “Dropped a mixtape, the shit sounded like an album/Who’d a thought a country wide tour would be the outcome/Labels want my name beside a X like Malcolm/Everybody gotta deal, I did it without one…”
Wayne: “Life is such a fuckin’ roller coaster then it drops/But what should I scream for?/This is my theme park…”
Synopsis: Had it not been for Eminem, Drake would have the best verse on the entire record.
Drake: 7
Wayne: 5
13) Lil’ Wayne & Drake – “My Darlin’ Baby”
Drake: “Just say yes, not no/The club is overrated baby, let’s not go/Let’s stay home and burn a couple calories/Fuck the house up and have the maid earn her salary…”
Wayne: “She gotta smile on her that puts a smile on me/She cater to me, she get all Destiny’s Child on me…”
Synopsis: Weezy and Drake trade bars about their dream female. For as trivial as it may sound, Drake simply had more quotables this round.
Drake: 8
Wayne: 5
14) Young Money – “Bed Rock”
Drake: “I’m at the W, but I can’t meet you in the lobby/Girl, I gotta watch my back/I’m not just anybody…”
Wayne: “She got that good, good/ She Michael Jackson ‘Bad’/I’m attracted to her/With her attractive ass…”
Synopsis: Similar to “Every Girl,” Wayne has a catchy intro bar. Unfortunately, Drake one upped him this time and even managed to drop a Ricky Bobby reference.
Drake: 9
Wayne: 5
15) DJ Khaled Feat. Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Drake, Lil’ Wayne & Usher – “Fed Up”
Drake: “And the question still remains/ Have I counted all the money that I’ve managed to obtain?/Niggas dedicating overtime to damaging my name/And somehow I’m still the hottest muthafucka in the game…”
Wayne: “I’m sick of being criticized/That’s why I’m higher than the Star Trek Enterprise/I do it big, don’t get mad cause you minimized/I keep a red flag case I get penalized…”
Synopsis: The true winner in this is watching DJ Khaled perform his own stunts in the video.
Drake: 10
Wayne: 5
16) Birdman Feat. Drake & Lil’ Wayne – “Money To Blow”
Drake: “I am on a 24 hour champagne diet/ Spillin’ while I’m sippin, I encourage you to try it/I’m probably just saying that cause I don’t have to buy it/The club owner supply it, boy I’m on that fly shit…”
Wayne: “And I’m with two women make you take a second look/We poppin’ like champagne bottles but we never shook/And we gon’ be alright if we put Drake on every hook…”
Synopsis: Weezy’s admission only confirmed what the entire industry had been thinking.
Drake: 11
Wayne: 5
17) Birdman Feat. Drake & Lil’ Wayne – “4 My Town (Play Ball)”
Drake: “Ok, they say that I’m the one in fact/Some say I’m they favorite, but I ain’t hearing none of that/I’m about my team, hoe/Young Money running back…”
Wayne: “You know you paid when you got Baby withcha/It’s Young Money, like Ben Frank’s baby pictures/It’s the lady twister, I kiss her whiskers/I been runnin’ this shit, blisters…”
Synopsis: Figuratively speaking, Wayne hit this one out the park.
Drake: 11
Wayne: 6
And thus concludes another installment of “Sibling Rivalry.” Does this mean Drake has become “better” than Wayne? Not in the least bit, but with Weezy’s looming prison sentence, it could prove to be the best and most important signings in recent memory. In other words, Young Money’s got themselves one hell of an insurance policy.
