Enjoy kids.
He is officially the hottest artist for 2010.
Drake was supposed to pass through my show last Friday, but he canceled at the last minute due to a studio session that was running late……..with Rihanna.I hooked up with him the following day, instead of doing the usual studio interview, we hit Hyde Park, which is London’s equivalent of Central Park.
Drake breaks down:
*The Rihanna situation.
*Working with Kanye West
*Working with Chase & Status
*The forth-coming album and releasing it independently.…..and more.
I’m gonna drop the full interview on 1xtra this Friday, 10pm.
Canada stand up!

Haha…@ the 7 minute mark…talking about the girls in the park…I was like “Wait, what?” …unexpected. Funny.

He is terrible at hiding the fact something is going on with him and Rihanna. Or he doesn’t want to hide it. LOL.

Drake is crazy, haha. That thing about the girls had me laughing. If he releases Thank me Later independently, and he goes at least gold, he’s going to make heads turn.

He is too adorable with the fact that he loves girls and isn’t trying to hide it. LOL @ “That girl got some crazy tight pants on right now.” That was random, and he is not shy about it! LOL. I think the whole Rihanna thing is just to keep people guessing. He already said they were just friends, but I would want to keep people guessing if they kept asking too. =)

he needs to release the album himself.

he should totally release that album w/o a label, he could do it. *about the rihanna thing, i think it’s to just keep people talking, no matter how good an artist is, they still need some type of publicity and lets face it, being linked to rihanna is definitely publicity. i want to hear the music he’s writing for her, this should be interesting.*

i agree he should release an independent album…cuz he’s right if it blows up the record label could take all the credit for selling a successful album

I like that he said he didnt want this album to be about “politics”. Mucho respect for that, Drake. Can’t wait to hear “Thank Me Later”!
<3 Drake!
