As he leans against a white throw pillow embroidered with OVO’s owl logo, Drake appears comfortable with his current pole position. He’s rocking a virtually airbrushed shape-up, dark blue button-up shirt and creamy gray Timbs, preparing to deconstruct his best project to date. “This album is probably the most aware of self that I’ve ever been,” Drake says. Never mind the Sampha sample and the already-timeless ’80s two-stepper “Hold On, We’re Going Home” this is an excellent rap LP, with chest-beating bravado, alphabetical slaughter (“Aye, B, I got your CD, you get an E for eFfort”), respectable odes to ’90s icons and melodies that morph like Power Rangers. While it lacks Justin Timberlake’s soul-warming grooves, Pusha T’s real-life coke fantasies or Yeezus’ fearless musicality, the Take Care follow-up achieves a steamy stew of emotional catharsis, mid-20s regrets and YOLO stunting.
It’s this tightrope treading that has defined Drake and helped his third studio LP, Nothing Was The Same, earn VIBE’s 2013 Album of the Year honors. His whole bio is a paradox: He’s a biracial Toronto-born former Degrassi child actor with family ties to Memphis who found megastardom after joining Lil Wayne’s YMCMB crew via truth-serum singing and 16s. PHOTOS: BEHIND-THE-SCENES FLICKS OF DRAKEĭrake has become accustomed to dwelling in alternate worlds. At the same time, I know I can do a couple things.” Is it the shit you know all the words to, or the shit that sounds fast and complex? I don’t have the answer. People keep challenging me about what real rap is. “But you can’t say my bars aren’t up there with the best of them. “People fucking love to sing, that’s what I never forget,” says Drake, hovering over a lukewarm plate of pasta-carbs to replenish after leaving it all on the stage about an hour ago. Yet at this moment the hip-hop heavyweight is assessing his stature on the undercard: the rap blogosphere. It’s past midnight and the 27-year-old rapper just performed at a packed November stop on his rhetorical Would You Like A Tour? run here in North Carolina’s Time Warner Cable Arena, keeping women of all ages (and even a few man fans) singing and rhyming along to the melodic anthems that have made him a supernova in music’s Milky Way. In the center of it all is Drake, folded forward on a white sofa in the Zen-like dressing room he’s subletting from the Charlotte Bobcats for the night. A snowy rug sprawls the floor beneath a glass coffee table, on which two tall powder-scented candles burn so pungently that they make you want to sneeze. White sheets scale the walls, illuminated by blue mood lighting. You’ve never seen an NBA locker room look like this. Drake sits down to dissect his masterful album Nothing Was the Same Lil Wayne has yet to respond to the homosexual accusations, boy is this feud getting worse and worse everyday.Toronto’s top dog delivered 2013’s best LP by improving his complicated balancing act of romantic lover boy and boastful MC with a conscience. ” He gay as hell”, says Birdman, “He tried to be with me, drake, and even the boy rick ross, but he was after drake more than everybody else and Drake actually wrote the song “Doing It Wrong” for him, cause he ain’t wanna be with him” finished Birdman.īirdman has also admitted that he himself use to be bi-sexual and then realized he was actually straight as “the mind plays tricks on people”, according to Birdman.
Birdman also revealed that Lil Wayne wanted a relationship with him and Canadian rapper Drake, and that the song “Doing It Wrong” on Drake’s second studio album “Take Care” is actually about Lil Wayne and how he cannot be in a homosexual relationship with him. Now that Birdman has admitted that Lil Wayne is actually a homosexual and that all the songs where he is speaking sexually of women is actually a cover up for his true sexuality and simply to sell his music, as women have always been popular topics for music. Birdman tries to violate Wayne’s reputation even more by saying that Drake’s song Doing It Wrong, on his second album Take Care was about Lil Wayne’s desire to be in a relationship and how Drizzy wasn’t down with it. The feud is expected to heat even more now that it has been announced that Lil Wayne is Suing Cash Money Records for $51 Million and has asked a judge to declare him the joint copyright holder of everything released on his Cash Money imprint, Young Money, including recordings by Drake and Nicki Minaj. In fact, the man that Wayne is in love withis the Canadian rapper Drake. In the wake of the Lil Wayne and Birdman drama, Birdman has publicly admitted that rapper Lil Wayne is a homosexual, presumably an attempt to ruin the image of the Young Money rapper.Īfter the news circulated that Birdman was holding back Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter 5″ album for unknown reasons, Lil Wayne announced that he felt like a “prisoner” to Birdman’s label and that he wanted “out” of Cash Money Records.
