DJ Drama Talks "Dedication 3" w/ Lil Wayne

DJ Drama talks about the possibility of a "Dedication 3" with Lil' Wayne, T.I.'s legal issues and his own arrest by the FEDS.

DJ Drama on T.I.'s arrest and how the ATL rapper is doing while on house arrest:

"Free my nigga T.I. man. Innocent until proven guilty...I talked to Tip. Tip good. He’s at the crib, cooking dinner, taking care of the kids man. He’s on I-chat a lot these days, you know just bugging out and writing for the new album Paper Trail, so he’s doing his thing."

DJ Drama on whether or not him and Lil' Wayne will get together for a "Dedication 3" mixtape:

"Hopefully we’ll be able to get back in and get a Dedication 3 going next year...it's definitely still up in the air. But you know when we did Dedication 1 and Dedication 2 it was a different time and space...Lil' Wayne is on the cover of every mixtape out right now. He is basically the poster child of Hip Hop...if we do it we both know that it has to be something really special...because the Dedication was so potent, so powerful that we can’t just do it just for the sake of doing it. Like it’s got to be right. Why tarnish two classics that meant so much to hip hop?"

DJ Drama sheds some light on the day he was arrested by the FEDS and how it has affected his career:

"It’s been on and popping. I’ve been all around the world doing gigs. You know magazine covers. My album is coming out. I’m on the radio everyday. You know it made me more famous...

"...it was bugged out. You know they came to my door step. You know with M-16’s armed with vests. It was like the scene out of New Jack City when they rated the Carter. They told me I was under arrest for bootlegging and racketeering. When they came that's where they assumed the drugs and the guns were, so I’m sure they expected to find more then they did."
