YMCMB has a big night ahead of them at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards on September 6, with Drake and Nicki racking up nods as well as Lil Wayne, but still, Tunechi isn't satisfied.

"The competitive person I am, it makes me feel great, awesome, excited and all that ... but overall, it makes me feel undone," Lil Wayne told MTV News while he was out promoting his new line of sneakers in Las Vegas on August 20.

The past 12 months have been remarkable for the YMCMB camp. After closing out last year's VMAs, Wayne immediately released his highly anticipated Tha Carter IV to the tune of approximately 1 million units sold in its first week. Drake then pushed out his now-platinum sophomore LP,Take Care, in November, spawning a number of hit singles like "The Motto," "Headlines" and "HYFR."

Young Money's reign continued in 2012 when Tyga put out his Careless World album and Nicki dropped her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded long-player in April. YMCMB attacked the charts, launched successful tours and delivered eye-popping music videos, but still, Lil Wayne looks to do better. "It's a whole lot of unfinished business," he said.

It's anyone's guess what Weezy has planned for the future of his team, but on Thursday, he and DJ Drama plan to drop the fourth installment of their critically acclaimed Dedication mixtape series.

The 2012 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, September 6, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
