Birdman has confirmed what many YMCMB fans have hoped for and what Drake has hinted at, fans can expect a Lil Wayne and Drake collab album. XXL caught up with Birdman to ask him about how he feels about Jay-Z and Kanye’s “Watch The Throne” and he had a few interesting comments about it. He nicely calls Jay and Kanye old, even though Birdman himself is 42 and older than both Hov and Yeezy, and says they are on their way of the game. Call me crazy but I really don’t think Hov or Yeezy are anywhere close to leaving the rap game, actually Hov told Angie Martinez that he never plans on not being in the game while Lil Wayne has been saying he will retire at age 35. Read exactly what Birdman said after the jump.

“Wayne and I recently talked about [the Weezy/Drake collabo album],†Baby told XXLMag.com. “That’s definitely going to get done.â€
Birdman promises that Wayne and Drake will offer up a different sound from that of Jay and ‘Ye.
“It’s older versus younger,†Baby said. “I listened to a few songs [off Watch The Throne] and it feels like an older feel to me. I think with Drake and Wayne, they young. They young cats. You got 23 and 28. Then you got Jay-Z and them, who are older and really on their way out the game. Then you got Wayne and Drake and them, who are still youthful to the game. So, it’s two different types of music all the way across the board.
“But what they’re doing is great,†he added. “I think it’s great for the game, great for the business, great for retail as a whole. I just think when Wayne and Drake get together is going to be something real special also because we more youthful.â€
