Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and the rise of Young Money as a whole was a seminal moment for me growing up. It was fascinating then to witness a bonified legend try to create even more superstars, but looking back on it is equally interesting. For instance, how were we all cool with the whole "In about three years, holla at me Miley Cyrus", bit? That's crazy! Anyway, here's stuff about this once prominent label, a brief history of them, their hits, and so on.

  • Young money was huge when I was in high school but now you never hear about it
  • @Mcluvintime
    God my favorite part about these videos is reminding me of the absolute ridiculous lyrics that went over my head in the 2010s. In 3 years, hit holla at me Miley Cyrus?? Like wtf 😂
  • @kartierglory
    I love how there's NO Tyga Love here 😂 like damn if Nicki, Wayne and Drake is Mike , Scottie, and Dennis 😂 can we just agree Tyga Is Toni kukoc

    it's sad i didn't notice this video came out. no way this should have 7.5k in a month when you have so many subscribers. somethings off.

    Id love to see you cover the history of Terror Squad, which were good friends of Young Money back then. Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, Big Pun, and others. Lots of interesting history there!
  • @noyb4441
    The commentary though😫😂
  • @AndrewBell
    Rise Of An Empire (2013) was amazing. This is such an unfair assessment
  • @olivbook5231
    Only reason I know Abt young money is cus my friends older sister samples them in her songs a lot
  • @fredmcbob1
    We alright slaps, but otherwise great video
  • I loved that you brought up 'Steady Mobbin' cause it's one of my all time favorites and it's where I get my screen name from, lol. 😂 I can recite that whole verse from memory, although I leave out the DJ Connor line cause it's kinda homophobic, but those were the times I guess. "Futuristic handgun, if you act foul, you get two shots and one. You cannot reach me on my Samsung, I'm busy fuckin' the world and givin' the universe my damn tongue. Crazy mothafucka, I am one." 🖤

    1st person ever to talk about young money and goes on ahead to put tyga like a foot note as if he never existed or even went on ahead to make a name for himself
