YMCMB stay winning
And...here is the reaction of birdman and lil wayne the first time they heard SFTB:
Drake... he's just not normal when it comes to music. He's a fresh talent. He's not a replica. He don't duplicate. He's setting his own tone and his own everything with music," Birdman told MTV News of hearing "Started From the Bottom" for the first time. "I think this record's really something for him to be different...he's not a normal guy. He's one of the most talented, really on earth, to me when it comes to music. ... So to me I loved it, when [Lil Wayne and I] first heard it we were amazed." (MTV)
