Drake Speaks On Carter IV Verses (Video)

While on set for his Fancy video, Drake reveals to MTV that Lil Wayne spit two verses off Tha Carter IV that blew his mind and made him question his career.

“He called me the other day from jail and rapped me two verses, man,” Drake said. “It really made me, like, ‘I gotta do something different. I gotta get sh– together,’ because he’s really got bars and he’s rapping from a broader life perspective, saying these things people love to hear.”

Stuff like this you gotta take with a grain of salt though. I’m sure the verses were great but there’s obviously a possibility of Drake making things seem doper than they are. Remember when Royce was saying Em’s Relapse was phenomenal? Just saying…

  1. “Remember when Royce was saying Em’s Relapse was phenomenal?”
    ^
    well put, sir. finally hip hop can say that album was wack.

  2. Matter fact, recovery is wack. Sorry, but you know it’s true.

  3. ueah uh ,bla bla blu dondi doridum duu

    carter III is half good songs half avare songs ,what is the.. word.. ah yeah..bullshit.hype

  4. avarage*

  5. I don’t believe a goddamn word of it. Lil Wayne could record him shitting and send it to Drake and he’d say it was phenomenal.

  6. @Steven Williams yo im co signing that like it was a fuckin car note well put there brother

  7. wow.. Drake thinks something Wayne did was dope? who would’ve thought? smh.. this aint news. Wayne could fart and Drake would say it was the best smelling fart in the history of the world. who cares what Drake says.

  8. lets see

  9. love drake, but dude has wayne’s dick in his mouth 24/7. surprised he can still speak clearly

  10. He probably spoons a picture of Wayne when he goes to sleep…he look like a spooner.

  11. Greats verses? They’re most likely the same shit he says in every fucking song. Fuck a Drake and a Wayne.

  12. @ William M. Holla,

    Neither Relapse nor Recovery were wack. Up your hip-hop knowledge, and understand the technical aspect of rhyming before spouting foolishness.

  13. How about you just all wait till C4 actually drops to judge it… personally I expect it to be awesome…my opinion

  14. relapse was a great EMINEM album lets be honest here

  15. @hippaToDaHoppa,
    Hey uhh, big guy…might wanna try and follow the second sentence of your post cuz the first is dumb as fuck…Both were wack.

  16. Drake’s opinion of hip-hop doesn’t mean shit. keep doing r&b man. the ladies love it

  17. meh…Drake saying something Wayne did is great…is like Bleek saying something Hov did was great……. or The Game dissing Hov…then saying something he did was great

  18. “Remember when Royce was saying Em’s Relapse was phenomenal?”

    you do know relapse was better than recovery right??

  19. ouuu get of waynes dick for one fucking second

  20. Boo to relapse…boo to recovery…I was expecting greatness and I was disappointed. Monotonous rhyming…sounded like he was at an AA meeting throughout the album. What Drake is saying about Wayne may be believable. I’m sure being detached from an accustomed lifestyle and being in jail without a constant supply of syrup can bring you back to reality and broaden one’s perspective on life

  21. “Stuff like this you gotta take with a grain of salt though. I’m sure the verses were great but there’s obviously a possibility of Drake making things seem doper than they are. Remember when Royce was saying Em’s Relapse was phenomenal? Just saying…”

    - Remember how Drake said Waynes verse on Light Up was the best he’s ever heard? Lies.

  22. Drake thinks Lil Wayne is sooooooo good…aww he’s soooo good!

  23. who fucking cares? whats else he gona say? “oh yea wayne hit me from jail the other day, that dude sound like hes goin crazy he fuckin sucks now!”

  24. This dude has like the weirdest mannerisms. I didn’t really notice until after Affion Crocket or whatever his name is dropped that skit.

  25. I believe Drake more than I do Royce.

  26. drake over rates wayne.
    wayne dickriders over rate wayne.
    wayne = overrated

  27. Since it wasn’t posted, here’s BMF by Lupe Fiasco

  28. @ Black Thawt

    Good argument pal… you sure have a knack for debate.

  29. Relapse was a near perfect album…

  30. Lil’ Wayne is fuckin amazin’
    He’s definitely in my top 10. You guys can walk the fuck on with the hate, I’m just being honest. Even with all his whiny autotune bullshit, his catalg of good music is bigger than everything your favorite rapper has done.
    Just sayin

  31. This dude has like the weirdest mannerisms. I didn’t really notice until after Affion Crocket or whatever his name is dropped that skit.

    Dude, after that Affion Crockett sketch…I can’t listen to Light Up without cracking up a little lol

  32. white people. black people. everybody. eminem is overated. off lyrics, eminem is overated. he is one of best of all time. but he is overated as fuck. seriously. you look at wayne’s lyrics, its more lyrical, harder 2 come up with. em’s rhyme scheme is easy.

  33. @ truuuuth

    You’re kidding, right? If there is one thing that Em has over Wayne (and nearly anyone else for that matter) it’s lyrics. Em’s rhyme scheme is easy? How many (mainstream) rappers can rhyme entire bars for entire verses and it still make sense or tell a story. With all that said Eminem is definitely overrated, but so is Wayne and Jay-Z and Kanye and Drake. None of them (except maybe Em & Jay) can fuck with a lot of underground dudes.

  34. blow me drake – tool$$$$

  35. You gotta respect though Wayne can SPIT, at times he comes up with the craziest shit.

    Oh and Shake, Royce was right to an extent. EM spazzed on Relapse…maybe the voice threw some people off, but the lyrics were topnotch & on that horrorcore tip. I like Relapse just as much (if not more) than Recovery.

  36. lil waynes rhyme scheme is hard to come up with? lol, yeaaaa ok

    lil waynes subject matter post carter 2 ranges from suck my dick to I have money.
    good times

  37. drake stay on this nigga scrotum and testicles

  38. lol oh and @ hippaToDaHoppa
    ANY decent rapper used to be able to write entire songs that actually follow a theme and aren’t just a bunch of punchlines, until it became a bad thing to come out with solid material every couple months vs rapping whatever comes to mind and putting out new songs every few days.

  39. I don’t know guys… Wayne is writing again.

  40. dis dick ridin nigga right chea

  41. Em’s relapse was phenomenal. probably in the bottom half of HIS records, but still dope!

  42. @ JL

    My main point is Em is the last big, mainstream ‘superstar’ that is still killing rhymes. I mean just listen to the third verse of ‘Stay Wide Awake’ it’s nuts.

  43. yes yes demo drizzy you do need to step your game up

  44. looking forward to this sobered up new material.

  45. “you look at wayne’s lyrics, its more lyrical, harder 2 come up with. em’s rhyme scheme is easy.”
    ^^^
    haha you’re funny

  46. i bet he thinks wayne has the biggest cock too

  47. maybe they didnt post the lupe thing for a reason????/

  48. Em dick suckers, I swear. He may be able to rap his ass off, but he hasn’t released a sincere, focused and cohesive album since his earlier albums and lp. Relapse and Recovery is some corny, over-grandiose shit, hate to break it to people. He could do better, they deserve the low ratings.

  49. You can’t trust this nigga on the quality of things of life. Shit i’m a drake fan and I know he hypes things to be better than they actually are.

  50. @ GR

    Of course he can do better and I bet money that there are less than 10 people on the planet that think Relapse & Recovery are anywhere near his early shit, but in my opinion it’s impossible for a rap album to be wack if the rapper is “rapping his ass off”. Not great or good, but definitely not bad. The only reason I started posting in the first place was to express that.

  51. Lupe > Your favorite rapper

  52. Hoooold on…if the nigga (Lil’ Wayne) don’t write shit down how’s he gonna remember what the hell he told Drake in prison?!? I call bullshit on this one…

  53. TUPAC > all. i like how this turned into a eminem / other rapper convo

  54. I Hate To Say Because Drake Always Over Exaggerate Shit But It Might Just be Wayne Hardest Verses In A Minute Since He’s Detoxed And Not High As Hell Now….But Then Again Who Even Knows If He’s Sober Hmmm

  55. Drake…you’re a tool.

  56. relapse hate is corny… yall just werent ready…

    n yea, it is funny how this turned into a em convo =]

  57. n ferreal yo, drake is a fuckin tool… i hate to hate, but i feel compelled to hate drake… like yea, personally i think some/alot of shit in the mainstream can be corny n all, but i still dont hate on it… drake is the only real exception… this guy is a fuckin fag n his music sucks, LOL… die drake, die

  58. Is Drake serious? His continued Wayne fanboy talk is suspect. Wayne had a small pocket of loyal fans before Carter III, but the kids really went nuts and he gained alot of ‘fans’ with Lollipop & MTV started playing his shit out. Fans of Lollipop aren’t gonna want to hear some serious life tracks from Wayne.

  59. Awwww, how cute, Drake and Wayne had a conjugal. Coming from Drake, even Vanilla Ice has great verses. What a gayboy.

  60. i’m talking about the words, not subject matter bitch

  61. Damn drake is certified dickriderrr.
