Dedication 2 (Gangsta Grillz) released in 2006 with heavily crunked out remixes of popular hits courtesy of Drama and lyrics provided by Wayne along with a slew of many of other rappers. The mixtape featured many artists that were currently signed to Waynes label, Young Money. Among them were Curren$y, Remy Ma, Freeway, Willie The Kid, Detroit Red, Juice, Mack Maine, Pharrell and Juelz Santana delivering raw intensity with phenomenal flow. Assisting Drama with production were Don Cannon, DJ Green Lantern, DJ Infamous, Swizz Beatz, Pimp C, and many more. Tom Breihan of The Village Voice proclaimed it the best summer album of 2006, praising DJ Drama's "impeccable beat selection". "SportsCenter" was complimented for its "free associating brain bursts." "Georgia... Bush" was also acclaimed for its "mesmerizing indictment" of President Bush.
Following up in the Dedication series yet again, Drama and Wayne release Dedication 3 (Gangsta Grillz) in 2008. Although Dedication 3 was a major success, it failed to match that of its predecessors but did gain some attention. The mixtape has sold over 70,000 copies in the United States, despite being available for free download. Besides the interludes, a majority of the mixtape has Wayne using auto-tune. Wayne continued to promote his own artists on this album. Returning MC's consisted of Willie the Kid and Mack Maine along with newcomers like Drake and Nicki Minaj. Returning producers included Don Cannon and Pimp C. Production was also assisted by newcomers like Soulja Boy and David Banner.
While both Drama and Wayne have continued their own respective careers, it has been said that Dedication 4 is in the works.

That's what im talking about man

And boy we could beef
Like no you in a cali oh
Hollygrove my Daddy home

Test me when I'm chillen and
I'll kill ya from my patio
Bitch my shadow look good
I'm just feelin wheezy
Hop in my Shit and say goodbye
Cuz the ceilings Leaving
Believe me,
They aint trying to see me
Tell 'em I'll be the nigga with the burner and beaner
I'm the fireman she just call me when she steamin
I wet her up and put her out and leave the bitch dreamin.
Niggas say they hot but its really not seemin.
If these guys bad then I gotta be a demon
Waynes getting money like Damon and Kenan
Try and take it from me and I'm aiming and beaming
Bangin and leaving
Stains on the cement
Slide the cracker something so they tame the police man
Left in a Porsche came in a Karnish
And I'm fresh yeah the Gucci sweats came with the creases
I'm hot but I'm cold I just change with the seasons
Trying to put some cheese on my pieces
If your lookin for ya nigga
I'll be where the water gets deeper
Huggin on that money tryin to put it in a sleeper
Yeah I'm here,
Who the fuck wanna say something
Leave your whole head empty like a strained pumpkin
Make no assumptions,
I'm hustling
Your girlfriend guzzling,
You thought she wasn't
Name still buzzin even when I'm doin nothing,
But im never doing nothing
Cuz im always getting money
That's simple jack ass
If you don't get it you're a dummy
And them niggas that dis me
Ain't nothing but pure pussy
Sure honey I done heard what you said
But if a nigga really cared
You'd already be dead
Just a young ass nigga
With some old ass bread

And my nigga (tas pope)? been ridin wit me since pegs
And my right wrist is lookin like a cracked open egg
That's white and yellow diamonds
Adjust your lighting
I got em so mad but
Ooh I think they like me

Slide the cracker something so they tame the police man
Bribe the police to stay out of his business
Left in a Porsche came in a Karnish
Arrived and left in different, fancy cars
And I'm fresh yeah the Gucci sweats came with the creases
Wearing expensive and stylish clothes

He'll be in the most dangerous and profitable places
Huggin on that money tryin to put it in a sleeper

His reputation remains even when he's not active
But im never doing nothing
He's always working on something

If you don't understand, you're unintelligent
And them niggas that dis me
People who insult him
Ain't nothing but pure pussy
They're cowardly
Sure honey I done heard what you said
He knows what they're saying about him
But if a nigga really cared
But if someone truly had a problem
You'd already be dead
The problem would have been taken care of already
Just a young ass nigga
He's still relatively young
With some old ass bread
He has inherited wealth and success
Yes I keep them dollars running
He's making lots of money
Like them bitches got legs
Fast and leaving quickly
And my nigga (tas pope)? been ridin wit me since pegs
He has a loyal friend who's been by his side for a long time
And my right wrist is lookin like a cracked open egg
His expensive jewelry on his right wrist
That's white and yellow diamonds
He has white and yellow diamonds
Adjust your lighting
His jewelry is sparkling so much that it affects the lighting
I got em so mad but Ooh I think they like me
He gets people upset but they still admire him

Wayne’s the best rapper in my opinion...his ability to stay on beat, change flow gracefully, and be lyrically on point is incredible.
