Lil Wayne's Advice to Drake: "Be Yourself"

In an interview for @katiecouric, hip hop star Drake talks about how he met Lil Wayne, and the advice that he gave: "Be the guy that I can never be."

[@CloudTribe]

Wow I actually like that quote "Be the guy that I can never be." Lil wayne

Drake would go on to do the exact opposite.

On a level of show bitbess he skooled drizz: his mama raised him tho mayne, and more than 9 times out of ten; drake was gon already experiment with that concept anyway, cuz that's just the type of n*gg*h he is, off G.P.... but, hearing it from a music bitness fella wit a music bitness perspective; weezy wanted a yin counterpart to his yang... ☯️ cuz if it woulda been any other way; the sh*t woulda soured out!
