Lil Wayne turned 35 today. If he seems older, it's because he's been in the game for 20 years.
Along the way, he's elevated some other pretty prominent rappers, including Drake.
Drizzy's affection for his mentor is well known; he recently got a tattoo of Weezy's face on his arm.
So it's no surprise that Drake had some nice words for Wayne on his big day.
What do you think Wayne's legacy will be when all is said and done?
