In his cover feature, Wayne explains why he views Drake as much more than your average rapper.

“Call me old-fashioned and country, but with Drake, that was the first time I’d seen someone that knew how to sing and rap. That’s all it was. I didn’t know nobody who knew how to do that. You had those old school singing n*ggas, where people would do a little eight-bar verse on their songs. But [Drake] was spitting and singing and killing that too. It took a while though. It wasn’t until I heard him spitting on one of my beats when I was like, ‘This fool’s retarded.’ When I hear something that I know I can’t do better? That’s when I’m like, ‘They need to be on the team.'” (XXL Magazine)

Weezy F. Baby placed special emphasis on Minaj being able to hang with any male emcee.

“I wanted a female. Every team needs a female to rep your gang. She was annihilating n*ggas. I mean males. I was like, ‘I have to beef my sh*t up on that muthaf*cka.’ She just knocked it out the park from day one. She’s just Nicki. I don’t know whose idea it was, but it was a good idea.” (XXL Magazine)

Recently, mega producer Timbaland said Drake, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar and Nicki Minaj were hip-hop’s biggest stars.

“The younger generation, we haven’t seen a star being born yet. We’ve seen Drake. Drake might have been the last star that we’ve seen, but we haven’t seen a superstar yet, like super, super-star. Drake was the last of them that I thought that we might have seen. Drake and [Rick] Ross. I would say Kendrick [Lamar] too. Those might be the last three. [Nicki Minaj?] That might be the only one. But we haven’t seen nobody else.” (Rolling Stone)

Last month, rap star Kanye West called Drake one of the top contenders dominating the entertainment industry.

“Currently that spot is taken. Let’s be honest–he got last summer. Yeah. He got last summer. And I’d never given it up till last summer.” [Now he’s thinking about taking it back.] “It’s a real question for me. Do I want to?” (GQ)
