I don't know if anyone noticed, but Drake rarely ever curses outside of his music, that's so refreshing.

[NOVMBER]

It's kind of a relief to hear Drake say early in the interview that some nights they struggle to come up with something. There's frustration, pointless nights ETC. As a producer and a writer I get a lot of those nights and they can be extremely disheartening and frustrating. It's kind of relieving to know that people such as Drake & 40 go through the same thing.

[bardowardo]

drake could be a role model solely for his eloquence and confident composure, whether or not someones even a fan of his music. dudes got a serious natural elegance about him. much respect.

[Disturbdindahed]

"When you start doing well... people will make you feel like an outsider." Word.

[IAmFuckdaskets]

*Drake hops in a taxi*

Taxi man: Where to mate?

Drake: Just Follow your heart

[bowzar]

Respect to zane but sometimes he goes too deep into subjects unnecessarily. Drake could sneeze and he would say tell me about the moment leading up to the sneeze, how you felt at the time and the impact it had on your peers and the culture.

[carlosmartinez-wxzy]

why does drake look like he leveled up? this dude looks like he absorbed meek mill, tyga and chris brown and has now become some kind of powerful beast that seems too powerful and unstoppable now. lol

[Dakkadot]

This guy is amazing. So calculated, sleek, and focused.He knows how to address things, people, and how to attack

[blaccpanther]

People hate Drake but around the time of 2014-2016, Drake was working harder than everybody else to solidify his spot as the top artist in the game.

If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, What a Time to Be Alive and Views back to back to back in a year is out of this world and each are arguably classic projects. He’s earned it.

[sutandy]

Jamaica is such a small country and yet, we have such a great influence on the rest of the world, especially in music and culture and he's just a catapult right now. Canada is heavily influenced by the Jamaican diaspora up there. I hope this makes us value our culture even more.

[Bigbevtrev]

Every time drake says "yeah" I feel like he's about to drop a song 😂😂😂

[fayeduddin]

Probably like one of the only rapper in today's game that is so well spoken

[ragudaboss]

40 always workin hard on the production. One of the illest producers in the game. 40 creates a unique and creative sound, unlike other trap music producers like Metro Boomin or Zaytoven. 40 needs to get much credit for all the hits he's put out over the years.

[feernanda]

"I have a pure heart. I have nothing to hide." "We can talk about anything." And all of that comes out on his music, I love it.

[SupremesXII]

This dudes voice puts me in a chill mode

[boydurrrr]

I really think Drake will be the GOAT when all is said and done...dude changed music in a big way

[busyworksbeats]

Everybody lookin at Drake. I'm looking at the gear in the background LOL #Producer

[waynefmj]

His aura from here to now is so different, he really has embraced more of an untouchable-mob boss aura over these past couple of years

[carlmadsen]

8 years later and some of the things he speaks about here really came true. Such a good interview

[sambritt]

Drake is one of the most mature rappers in the game you can do nothing but give respect because he doesn't do anything to anyone doesn't start beef. Like he says he sits back and let the bullshit sit. No need for a reaction to everything. Lowkey kills me when people really be going after this man Lol like let the man do his thing.
