We Are Young Money
We Are Young Money is the first compilation album by American hip hop record label Young Money Entertainment, and released on December 21, 2009 by Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records. The album garnered a positive reception but critics were divided on the quality of the label's choice of artists. We Are Young Money debuted at number 9 on the Billboard 200 and spawned three singles: "Every Girl", "BedRock" and "Roger That". The album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States. - Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
In the spirit of work from Dipset and Bad Boy, Lil Wayne creates a clique record, and-- with Drake and Nicki Minaj on board-- pulls it off.

XXL Magazine
The formula for success here is simple: From the catchy lead singles, “Every Girl" and "Bedrock,” to the clever Friday-inspired “Ms. Parker” to the album’s best effort, the carefully-orchestrated “New Shit,” Wayne appears prominently on everything.

Common Sense Media
Rap CD is not only explicit and offensive but also boring.
-
AV Club
Money is pure bubblegum, the kind of instantly disposable pop ephemera listeners forget about while it’s still playing.

Sputnik Music
We Are Young Money, found at the garbage disposal at KFC, and we do not have much talent.
-
HipHop DX
It’s clear that Lil Wayne is attempting to recreate the Cash Money legacy with Young Money. In the CMR pool, the best floated to the top and the rest offered the assist. However, when you’re starting a crew with existing fame, there is no way to showcase a team effort and We Are Young Money is proof of that.

Planet Ill
If Young Money continues on this path, they certainly won’t be considered a sure bet.

Rap Reviews
The beat is simple, but the music jumps back and forth between synths and plucky notes to keep things interesting.
-
The Urban Daily
I must say, although the album is scattered all over the place, the beats make listening to certain songs bearable.
-
All Music
On their aboveground debut, We Are Young Money, each cut is a revolving door with members Drake, Nicki Minaj, Mack Maine, Gudda Gudda, Jae Millz, and Tyga dropping in and out of this almost group.

Coke Machine Glow
We Are Young Money is like a microcosm of Wayne’s career: often frustrating, frequently brilliant, and thoroughly, lovably weird.
