Younger Money! 5 Artists Lil Wayne Should Sign To Young Money Entertainment
The Artist: Jaden Smith
Why Lil Wayne Should Sign Him: At just 13, Will Smith's son is filled with untapped potential. He's already shown what he can do on the big screen (sell tickets!) and he's started to lay the foundation for a career in music as well. Last year, he dropped a verse on Justin Bieber's Never Say Never: The Remixes album that also landed him a guest spot on Biebs' Never Say Never tour. Oh, and we did mention that Jaden is Will Smith's son, right? Well, just in case, let us mention it again: JADEN SMITH IS WILL SMITH'S SON! Dude's nickname should be Young Money. We hope Wayne's already made the call.
The Artist: Justin Bieber
Why Lil Wayne Should Sign Him: Speaking of Bieber, wouldn't Wayne love to him him signed to his label? Well, yes. Obviously. Biebs could sell blank CDs to 12-year-old girls and they'd love him for it. That being said, it seems like Biebs is gonna want to put out a rap album at some point. You can just see it coming, right? And we're pretty sure that that's not what his label is going to want him to do. So, what about if he signed to Young Money for the rap portion of his career? He'd get to make the kind of music he wants (and put that YMCMB shirt to good use!). Wayne would get to reap the benefits. And rap mags and blogs could cash in on all of the little Bieliebers out there who will buy anything with Bieber's name on it. Win!
The Artist: Sophia Grace Brownlee
Why Lil Wayne Should Sign Her: You've seen this girl, right? She absolutely killed Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" on a viral video and later on an episode of Ellen. Like, murdered it. She did so well, in fact, that Ellen asked Nicki to come on the show and perform it with her and she did. Listen up, Wayne: Female MCs are hard to come by these days! And this girl has already captured the minds and hearts of millions of soccer moms out there. Plus, Nicki knows her and already gave her a cosign. You should do the same.
The Artist: Astro
Why Lil Wayne Should Sign Him: If nothing else, this kid has a lot of people on his side right now thanks to his appearance on Simon Cowell's hit FOX show, The X Factor. He's also got a catchy name for his followers (Astronauts!
The Artist: Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely
Why Lil Wayne Should Sign Him: You know how college basketball coaches will give scholarship offers to kids who are, like, 3 nowadays? It makes absolutely no sense to do it, but coaches are so afraid to miss out on a "can't miss" prospect that they take a leap of faith long before they actually should in order to secure the services of a top-notch basketball player sometime down the line. That's essentially what Wayne has to do if he wants to sign Usher's sons. They can barely walk and/or talk right now, but you have to think that they're be able to sing and dance at least half as good as their dad, right? And if they can do that, Wayne signing them now will be well worth the gamble.
