very insightful interview that clears up a lot of misconceptions

But his music sucks and I'd rather listen to Nas in the club when I'm around women because it's not about having fun, it's about being "hip hop."

“All the people in the video from my family to my friends, everybody worked really hard and we’re just happy to be here. That was kinda the message behind it. Obviously everything I do is for Toronto, that’s why the video looks the way it does.”

Through his lens, Director X was able to capture something very intimate to Drake and make it grand. "There were no hired extras in that big party scene, everybody knew everybody," he told MTV News in an interview last week. "That's a regular Drake thing. He does bowling parties, that shisha club, that's his club Paradise, that's his thing. He does that. That vacation? That was their real vacation. That wasn't a for-TV vacation, we just showed up with the cameras and shot. So to me the whole thing was a celebration, just [capturing] the bigness of all that."

Hmm. I hope I get invited to his next confetti party at Shoppers.

This is awesome.

And at the same time, so amazingly close to the mark.

You do realize they don't have organics at the club, yes?

[NYPDinformant]

at least we could hear what Ross had to say this time unlike immediately following the SD contest

[sanity]

He's tite with Bargs

[JunkYardSubs]

I like Drake, he's always shown a lot of love for T-Dot, but find his music underwhelming.

[raptoradical]

With that "reppin Toronto" almost, actually sounded like a shout out lol. What has America come to?lol

btw who the hell is that guy beside Garnet lmao

[lacokanostra]

so he let Terrence Ross keep them chains too? he's a nice dude though cant lie about that. Wtf is The Weeknd doing then?!

[Mack11]

not a fan of his music but im liking the raptors exposure

[Waylon Mercy]

Drake is extremely talented and when he's on his game he kills tracks he is definitely one
of the best rappers in the game today and the grammy he just won backs him up.

The problem I find is he's done to many love songs that are cheesy that's been over kill.
Give Drake a good beat and let him flow and he's at his best I can't think of to many songs
that he's collaborated on where he didn't own the song.

He's still got a lot of upside and we haven't seen the best of him yet I think he has top 10 ever
upside and talent and he seems to have a good head on his shoulders and isn't a punk or try hard
like so many other rappers. I'm glad he's from Toronto it's funny that he's way more popular in
the States then here.

[WalterCronkite]

Drake is such a fake. He is a Heat "fan" every other day. Now a Raptor wins something and he has to put on the Canadian pride act. Sad.

Yeah, when he Raps he's decent (nothing great). My favourite verse was stay schemin but thats when he was under pressure and had to respond to common. But most of his albums I've tried getting into its mostly R&B. Found it mind boggling that NARAS nominated it for the best "Rap" album when there was more R&b than rap in there.

Drake, Take Care, Lupe Fiasco, Food & Liquor, The Roots Undun, Nas, Life Is Good, Rick Ross God Forgives, 2 Chainz.

Lupe or Roots should've got it. Nas's albums have been **** for the past while. And two chainz- haaa

[Danchan]

i would like him more if he can walk normally just for once. *nothing about his music, heard like maybe 3 songs with him in it in total

[mowe]

This is it right here. I just love how everybody feels the need to make it known they don't like Drake's music before giving him props. As if they don't make that clear, people will think they're 16-year-olds who think Drake and Weezy are the GOAT, i.e. the people they hate.

Yeah his last album was a major let down to me he's got to stay away from that R&B and pop stuff
I know it sells and stuff but it's not his forte. When he sticks to rapping and goes hard not to many
rappers out there can touch him.

He kind of reminds me of Rudy Gay extremely talented and should be dominating but the consistency
and inefficiency are still holding them back kind of frustrating because it comes so easy to them.

With Drake he needs to start thinking quality over quantity and not mass produce stuff like Seth Rogan
movies a few years back. Hard to rag on a guy who just won a grammy and is considered to be one
of the best by people in the industry but I can see why there are so many people that are iffy on him.

[TheFreshPrince]

Loool at the Drake haters. They try to spin his words to fit their ignorance. Settle down children.
