Lil Wayne V.S. Drake

     The ongoing debate about who is the better rapper is going to end today. It's Lil Wayne V.S. Drake. They both have different styles and have their own fans, Team Tunechi (Lil Wayne) and Team Drizzy (Drake), but at the end all that matters is who is superior.  Let's get started!

Lil Wayne

Dwayne Micheal Carter Jr., born September 27, 1982 is formerly known for his stage name Lil Wayne is an American hip hop recording artist from New Orleans, Louisiana. He joined Cash Money/Young Money Records in 1991 at the age of nine, taken under the wing by Bryan Williams (Birdman). In 1996 he joined the southern hip hop group Hot Boys and then soon went solo. Lil Wayne's parents divorced at the age of two and his father permanently abandoned the family. He had dropped out of school at the age of 14 to focus on his music career. He later attended the University of Houston but dropped out once again since it was conflicting with his schedule. He did get a degree in psychology though, when he took online courses from the university of Phoenix. Now he is 30 years old and wants to retire at the age of  35 for he has 4 kids. A daughter as the oldest, and then 3 younger sons. He had gotten rapper Trina pregnant but she suffered a miscarriage. Lil Wayne is a very successful rapper who continues to rise in fame and popularity.

Drake

Aubrey Drake Graham, born October 24, 1986 is Canadian recording artist, rapper, songwriter, and actor. He was born in Toronto, Ontario and became known for playing Jimmy Brooks on the teen television series Degrassi: The Next Generation. His parents divorced when he was younger and that truly impacted his life. His father lived in the hood (Memphis) and his mother lived a wealthy upper-class area (Forest Hills). Even though Drake's mother was very poor and that the only income they were getting was from Drake's acting career, his mother wanted him to get a good education. A large portion of Drake's work includes both rapping and singing which makes him an unique artist. Drake turned 26 this past October and continues to win more and more awards rising as we speak.
