Lil Wayne isn’t a fan of his music being stolen. Making that sentiment insanely clear during an interview with Foundation Magazine, a publication catered directly to the mixtape culture, Weezy called out all mixtape DJ's for creating mixtapes that feature his material without his proper consent. In another interview with popular mixtape DJ, DJ Drama, Lil Wanye then retracts his statements and aims them directly at The Empire for unlawfully producing the popular mixtape series, The Drought Is Over. In this two part series, BET.com sat down with The Empire to find out exactly how they managed to put together a five part mixtape series without even meeting Lil Wayne, an encounter they have yet to experience till this very day. Following each description, The Empire explains the pressure received from "The Best Rapper Alive" and his inner circle in our "Wayne Watch" blurb.
BET.Com: The Drought Is Over Part 1
The Empire: Drought 1 came about from an actual Lil Wayne mixtape that I got from a promo guy at Cash Money. During that time, he was on tour with Jim Jones and they were handing out a double CD, but no one had it. The Drought Is Over Part 1 was a simple one.
Wayne Watch: No one from their camp noticed anything yet.
BET.Com: The Drought Is Over Part 2
The Empire: The Drought 2 was the big one. A kid started leaking records online and my man hit me telling me there’s this kid who has The Carter 3. He worked with Wayne and told me that he [Wayne] wasn’t working with DJ Drama anymore. [Editors note: DJ Drama was responsible for Lil Wayne’s Dedication mixtape series]. Wayne was looking for someone to do mixtapes with, but he was on tour so he couldn’t do it himself. The kid was searching for people to do it with and basically asked me for money in advance for the cd, so I gave him an undisclosed amount of money and he sent me 12 records.
