On the first single from his debut album, emThank Me Later/em, “Over,” Drake promised he would make sure the Young Money ship did not sink.br /br /From March until November, he and Nicki Minaj did more than keep the label afloat. While Lil Wayne was gone, they took things to a higher level. Drake is easily the most-popular new male rapper in the game.br /br /Nicki Minaj, on the other hand, has caught the hip hop world by storm. She is currently in the middle of a high-profile feud with veteran, Lil’ Kim. Over the summer, Drake and Nicki Minaj got married, just as Drake said he would on “Miss Me.”br /br /Their marriage only lasted for one day, but it was antics like that which made Young Money more popular even when there was no new music coming from the camp. As Lil Wayne prepared to be released from prison, Nicki Minaj released her emPink Friday/em album and scored another hit with “Right Thru Me.” Things are going better than even Lil Wayne had envisioned.br /br /For all of the hard work put in while Lil Wayne did what he had to do, Weezy offers a thank you to his team and hopes they all continue to put forth the effort. At the start of summer, Drake released his debut album and Lil Wayne closed the summer with his emI Am Not a Human Being/em album. Currently, Nicki Minaj is being pushed, as previously mentioned, her album was just released.br /br /Gudda Gudda, another member of Young Money, spoke about his album. He hopes to have his project in stores sometime early next year. Following Gudda Gudda’s release, Jae Millz hopes to finally be able to put out his debut album. With the new releases out of the way, Drake wants to put his second album out next year and Lil Wayne wants to close next year with the release of emTha Carter IV./embr /br /Nicki Minaj said it was incredible to see how the crew held things together while Lil Wayne was gone and now she cannot wait to see how they work now that he is out.div class=”blogger-post-footer”div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”
