Drake is probably one of the "top ten" hip-hip stars, says fellow rapper Wale.
Wale's second album Ambition debuted on the Billboard 200 at no.2.
The hip-hop star has plenty of respect for his peers and cites Drake as a major talent in the industry right now. Wale is very excited about Drake's new album Take Care.
"I love his music, man. I love what his music stands for," Wale told Rap-Up TV. "You gotta start talking about Drake after this album, if it delivers, as top ten… Dude makes incredible music and he's one of my favourite rappers."
The pair are good friends and they have already recorded one song together.
Wale is also thinking about doing a remix and hinted that the duo may be doing something together in the future.
"Me and Drizzy do have something coming," he teased.
Wale is also eager to get on tour with Drake. The rapper wants to get another big name on board, and hopes J. Cole will join them.
Wale even joked that he wouldn't mind warming up the crowd first if it meant they could all perform together.
"I talked about doing a tour. I told Drizzy about it. I said, 'Yo, me, you, and Cole should do a tour.' I don't care if I gotta go first. I'm all about the f**king culture," he exclaimed. "This is gonna be like the Hard Knock Life tour of our generation."
