The Rise & Fall of Young Money (Documentary) 

Nobody: Nicki Minaj every song: young money ❤

Lets face it. Lil' Wayne, Nicky Minaj & Drake were the 3 headed Dragon of Young Money. Besides Tyga, anyone else barely got a look in.

Wayne was so humble and he wanted everybody to shine more than him

I’m lowkey proud of Tyga. I didn’t see him going far but he was consistent, made relationships and got his crown

Tyga telling everybody drake was fake from day 1

It's so tragic how the majority of artist (not just in Young Money) don't get paid and were abandoned as quickly as they were introduced.

Tyga never got overshadowed. He was huge on the west coast even when Drake and Nicki blew up.

Hey man, great video! I want to hear you cover the Nicki and Drake rise a bit more in an upcoming video, especially Nicki. I think she gets overlooked a bit in conversations about who are the most skilled rappers of our time just because she's a woman even when she washed some of the GOATs on their own songs more than once. Her mixtape and feature run leading up to her debut was CRAZY

Believe it or not during those Hot Boys days Lil Wayne was not the biggest artist on Cash Money or the superstar. Juvenile was

If only Drake was like Wayne there would be a lot of great artist from Toronto

You was signed to a n. That was signed to a n. That said he was signed to THAT n

Nicki is on a sold out WORLD tour on track to be the highest grossing rap tour in history. Drake has 13 #1's. Hated? Sure, fell off? Statistically, no

Curren$y isn’t somewhat active he’s constantly puttin out music.. underrated too

birdman was another one know for "diddying"

Was it a fall? The major artist became bigger than the label. That’s a W together or not

Wayne is the goat. There would be no Drake and Nicki Minaj without Wayne. He put them on at the height of his career and let them shine. Name an artist Drake did that for

It was heard of. Master P was the 1st to do 85% No limit 15% Priority

I wish the images matched the commentary. Like we barely even saw Jae Mills this whole time yet you’ve mentioned him quite a bit.

Nicki Minaj is still on top !! She just broke so many record yet again try again !! 😂😂

Drake, Nicki, and Tyga! Are young money. Let’s be real. I’m not saying the other ones weren’t hungry! But those three were hungry. Even Tyga come back was flawless. How much you want it.

Monster was out before bedrock and not only that Nicki had MySpace and her mixtapes on lock in da streets

Saying they’re the biggest record label is a reach

Saying curren$y is SOMEWHAT active is crazy

Nicki Minaj is the richest female rapper ! She is the most awarded female artist!

As a NY native, I turned this video off after he said Bedrock was what put Nicki on the map. She was an underground legend bro do alil more research

Wayne Nicki and Drake all still booming

Can you imagine Drake's reaction when Jae Millz approached him and asked him to take him on tour with him, instead of Kendrick and Rocky?🤣🤣🤣

Drake and Nicki are label mates to the rest of YM, It is not their job to "make them hot". Wayne gave them all a spark and they didn't catch fire so the only one to blame is their talent and work ethic. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance....Eminem.

Amazing. What they are doing to Drake now they did to Nicki in 2018. It played out the same too!! Slander and lies to promote hate. Then a bunch of people on one stage to hold "their funeral". 6 yrs Later Nicki Minaj is solidified as the greatest Female rapper ever and definitely one of the greatest female ARTIST ever!! Drake will fall off but if he hang in their his rise gonna be greater than they have ever seen

Bedrock didn't put Nicki on the map 😂😂😂

Drake came in copying Soulja Boy literally word for word.

Wayne gave us nicki and Tyga and the Canadian

Wayne always seemed like such a genuine and kind soul. Dude just seems fun loving and overall a good person. Sucks he got screwed over by bird man. Also I know it’s not his fault, but just wish his protege was a better person (drake)

Squd up was the first young money artist!!! Kid kid, gudda, Tstreets, and like two other dudes. All those iconic squad up mixtapes was the foundation of young money records.

I feel like Drake learned business like Wayne and Nicki learned to rap like Wayne

The Nicki disrespect on the comments is crazy. She should have never been in this video.

The big three is gonna be successful forever no down fall

Cant be a fall off if they’re still successful might not be as relevant as before but they’re still keeping up with the new generation.

The damage this label did to the genre is crazy.

How so? Nicki is selling out large areas across the country, Drake is still the number top selling rap artist, and Lil’Wayne is the goat. Some of the members seem to be making millions, so I don’t see the downfall.🤷🏽‍♀️

They still popping though I wouldn't say it was a downfall they all are still goats especially tyga, Nicki minaj and drake and lil Wayne himself. Their all older but lil Wayne made some legends and did right by his artists unlike how birdman did his artists, plus lil twist and gunna had a Decent run too. Thoses who kept up got bigger especially the ones who stayed consistent Good video

Lil twist is now on growing up hip hop ..Mack Maine still talks to him😂

To make this video short. If you’re an artist. Don’t sign your life away to any record company. Independent is the way to go, yeah it’s way harder and damn near impossible but if you make it possible, the money is way better than what these companies say they’ll give you. RIP Dolph

Nice video. Now do one about the rise of JET ✈️ LIFE

This is why artists are going independent.

Curren$y is not “somewhat active” he’s one of the most consistent rappers in the game right now

19 minutes of clips is a summarization not a documentary lollll

You should do a video title " YOUNG MONEY- THE MOST POWERFUL LABEL EVER WITH THE 3 GREATEST RAPPERS EVER!!

I still can't believe Chanel from Ridiculousness is signed to young money

it was Lil Wayne that brought Drake into the game, so he better know where he stand.💯

Hey I want to thank you, Im halfway through your video and I can already tell you either was there or did some extensive research on how young money came to be and where they are today

Which is why lil Wayne is a top 5 rapper/influencer of rap in history.

When did they fall the internet is just wield

Great commentary

The worse thing you gonna ever hear about Wayne is somebody wrote a song for him 😂 young money never fell off the label was just a platform and they had a good roster, they just idolized Wayne to the point they lost their identity and sound in the game...the only artists that survived got their own wave...young money can never fall off as far as history though !

Great video

You got Curren$y effed up but continue….🥾 ⚜️

The music was changing, and a lot of people were being left behind, and Drake was the biggest reason for that change, he became a super star with just as big of influence on hiphop as lil wayne and unfortunately the young money roster was just not there yet

All I can say is Young Money’s prime (2009-2012), Wayne molded Nicki and Drake into total superstars; taking over countless tracks and remixes, as well as the charts. While Drake has broken record after record throughout his career! They're the best rap group of all time! Thank you Young Money! ❤❤❤❤

Why do these videos use the same 30 seconds of footage on a repetitive loop? Enough to give a man a headache.

I never knew they “fell”… Nicki and Wayne still reign… Drake lost a rap battle but he has TOO many hits. When did they fall?

15:55 Tyga was on Nicki’s I Endorse These Strippers

Nicki Minaj is the queen of

Can’t say an artist fell off if they know how to adapt with new music and remaining on charts.

How is Curren$y "somewhat active" with over 25 tapes on DSPs? 😂

Wayne been the best rapper alive in every hood well before '07-08🔥💪🏽

Wayne didn’t discover, he just attached his name

Look, they had their run. And it was a good one. Not my era, but give credit where it’s due. And it all starts off with Wayne going solo and dropping consistently until he reached the top. Plus, once he started featuring on other records, it was over from there. Quite impressive when you think about it. Also, with a team like that, I’m sure the other artists, musically, contributed to hooks and/or concepts, probably gave away songs to get the tracks the light they deserved…it happens all the time. In the studio, when there’s the right chemistry, it’s can truly be a team effort, if everyone’s on the same page. And for a minute , they were, that’s why they had their run.

Ill never understand the hate certain artist get... "Welcome to Guddaville" was dope and should've been his debut Twist sounded too much like Wayne and that handicapped him but his music is solid

Good job

They didnt fall tho

Subscribed ✅

Curren$y is actually is still doing good after leaving YM and doing good independently on his Jet Life label

Lil Wayne did say in Go DJ "Ayy, it's Cash Money Records, man, a lawless gang."

Drake wasn’t the first to “blend R&B and rap like never before”.

15:51 nicki at least did a feature on a song by shanell

Young thug is basically Wayne 2.0 like damn I didn't even realize how much they looked alike until I watched this video. I'd be salty too if I was Wayne

Man this video… First young money the biggest label😂 second Curren$y somewhat active smh. Spitta make more music then all these guys combined. If you don’t know about HIP Hop say that

QUEEN NICKI MINAJ🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️😎

"Blending R&B and RAP in a way that's never been done before" 😂 Drake got his style from Phonte, even he acknowledges that simple fact.

Yeah Cory Gunz is so raw and a victim of bad timing and circumstances. he woulda been massive in different eras but he also coulda been pretty big in the era he was with YM had he signed somewhere else instead.

My personal YM ranking #1 Tyga #2 Nicki Minaj #3 Lil Wayne #4 Gudda Gudda #5 Honey Cocaine #6 Drake Brought them gold Reebok T-Rawws back in the day! Miss them 😢

When did they fall ? They all goat

Nutt Da Kidd was the best out of all of Young Money artist outside of Wayne.

I only know Gutta Gutta from Filnobep 😂😂😂😂

Shanell Actually Released Quite A Few Mixtapes In The 2010s

I see what you’re saying, and I can respect that opinion I feel like if Lil Wayne was to get back up, he could still run the game even though he’s a little bit older I don’t think age has anything to do with it personally Also, I may not know none of the younger Cash Money members of this decade, but Nicki Minaj is personally my favorite of all time young money, cash money, artist Nicki Minaj is one of the biggest, strongest stars. If not the strongest one besides Drake unless you don’t like drake anymore after the beef with Kendrick Lamar, then you could also say Nicki Minaj is the biggest star and she’s do you just perfect her album pink Friday2 has been trending nonstop selling nonstop even in 2024 she still seeing success with her fifth studio album and so I hope that you guys give her her respect because she deserves it and she still selling out like hotcakes has her armor to condense yes but she’s recovered and recovered extremely long live the queen of rap Nicki Minaj🦄🎀👑

first hit was every girl not bedrock

Currently managing Lil Wayne’s son Lil Novi, I’d say this is fairly well documented

This would be fire come up movie of lil Wayne career in music industry

Bbl Drizzy Bbl Drizzayyy 😭😭 Nicki is the last one standing she is the Queen 💪🏾

Jae Millz & Gudda Gudda had so much potential. And so did Shanell, I liked her style & her music was good

Curren$y dodged a bullet.

Wayne said it first, drake his an actor and people wonder why he never write all of his songs. It was scripted from the beginning.

Bro just compared wayne n drake to tyga..... im out lmao

Omarion being labeled as an original member is hilarious 😂 Edit: this whole video is out of touch and hilarious. Sounds like someone just made up as they watched.

Stop calling Wayne the greatest rapper alive 🤦. He never was and never will be one. He is not even top 20 or 30.

😂the world let Drake think he was better than Wayne cause he was selling records smh

Drake said his name stood for "do right and kill everything" sh#%! he wasn't lying he still out here on the number one charts crazy

I knew Jae Millz, Gutta Gutta, Lil Chucky, T-streets, Shanel,Lil Twist, Corey Gunz wasn't going to see the light of day Album wise........
