Drake And Lil Wayne Scrap Album Due To "Watch The Throne" Comparisons | Plans Mixtape w| Ross

Lil Wayne and Drake scrap plans for joint album due to impending comparisons to Watch The Throne

Drake recently explained that he and Lil Wayne have decided to put their joint album on the back burner, maybe indefinitely, because he felt fans would compare the project to Watch The Throne rather than judge it on it’s own artistic merit.

“Me and Wayne scrapped the idea of a collaboration album,” Drake told XXL. “We just agreed that it would be looked upon as…It would be sort of this competition [with Watch The Throne]. I feel like it would get caught in this whirlwind of hype. [Wayne] agreed. We just said, ‘If we do it, we’ll do it down the line. But right now is not the time.’”

Drake's Take Care comes out on 11.15, although his highly anticipated sophomore album already suffered a leak. XXL reported Monday that Drizzy is also working on a mixtape with Rick Ross entitled, Y.O.L.O., which means You Only Live Once.

“I’ve been working on that for the last couple of weeks,” Drizzy detailed of his street project with Rozay. “We haven’t really connected because he’s been going through this thing with his health. I’ve been stashing my little beats and verses. I don’t have a drop date for it or a time for it. To be honest, its something I just really wanted to pop up out of nowhere. I’m not gonna release no single or anything. Its something I want to do because I enjoy like working with Ross.” XXL
