Grammy-winning rappers Lil Wayne and Drake have relied on some playful trash-talking to boost up interest for their new "Drake vs. Lil Wayne" tour with a new must-see promotional clip.
Weezy F. Baby starts off the funny clip boasting about himself and taking a few jabs at Drizzy.
“I’ve been doing this too long for anybody – especially a Drake to be coming at me with some versus Lil Wayne sh*t ,” Wayne says at the start of the clip. “When I go to the studio, I got a list of things to do everyday. It’s not a such thing as I’m gonna take off and go to the studio this month. Nah, I go to the studio every single day. I work out. … I don’t pick up weights. I already go enough weight on my motherf*cking back. I lift blunts everyday, all day. And this workout regiment right here, when you just lifting these blunts everyday, it makes your forearm ready to knock a n*gga like Drake clean the f*ck out. Know what I’m talking about?” (Vimeo)
Drake takes things a step further by revealing how their new “Drake vs. Lil Wayne” tour app works.
“This is me, working out, getting ready for tour,” Drake says in his portion of the clip. “I gotta let the people know I’m super prepared in my own hour, running up and down the stairs. Anyway, um, I’m not here to run up and down stairs or show you me and my friends’ graffiti on our special wall, say cool things. I don’t think people realize what this is. This isn’t a Wayne goes on and I go on and Wayne goes on. This is like me versus whatever, this guy that put me here or whatever. Not only do you decide who wins but you decide who starts the show.” (Vimeo)
The YMCMB duo kicked off their tour heading into the weekend in upstate New York.
Round 1. The student (Drake) went head-to-head with the teacher (Lil Wayne) on opening night of the “Drake Vs. Lil Wayne” tour, which kicked off in Buffalo, New York, on Friday. The YMCMB all-stars brought their battle to the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in a video game-inspired showdown. (Rap-Up)
Drizzy and Weezy F. Baby’s new “Drake vs. Lil Wayne” tour launched an accompanying digital app this week.
DvsLW, a collaboration with tour sponsor Capcom (the video-game publisher behind Street Fighter and many others), will enable fans to select their city, pick a side (Drake or Lil Wayne) during each night’s rap battle and “button mash” as if they were playing the latest Ultra Street Fighter IV video game to help their favorite rapper “power up” and impact their performances in real time. The app was created by Echo Park-based production company iam8bit in association with Drake’s management company October’s Very Own, Young Money Entertainment and Capcom. (Billboard)
