I'd say Lil Wayne OWNS this thread....

From his record label, jumping on singles, The Carter series (even down to the album covers LOLOL), the subliminals, even his approach to battles (his passive aggressiveness - see 50 Cent or Pusha T), he peddles Drake like Jay do Kanye (Drake even bit Ye's style), ripping people off & turning his back on them, nigga is even contemplating retirement a la Jay-Z.

I'd definitely say Hov has some type of influence on Wayne.

your right only thing i would disagree with is that weezy couldnt hold his own bar for bar like jay could. other than that he is making every feature like hov was back in '00 - '03, and making his brand enormoulsy influential like jay did. i just don't think he could make a classic front to back album, or make a battle rap song with the calibur of the takeover against another respected lyricist.

but since the question is about success of someones brand instead of music, you point out some really interesting parallels.
