    Drake hops in a taxi Taxi man: Where to mate? Drake: Just Follow your heart
  • I don't know if anyone noticed, but Drake rarely ever curses outside of his music, that's so refreshing.
  • @Disturbdindahed
    "When you start doing well... people will make you feel like an outsider." Word.
  • 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
  • @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.
  • Every time drake says "yeah" I feel like he's about to drop a song 😂😂😂
  • @blaccpanther777
    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.
  • @sambritt9231
    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.
  • @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.
  • @bowzar07
    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.
  • @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
  • @fayeduddin3229
    Probably like one of the only rapper in today's game that is so well spoken
  • @pjjeudy9633
    Views is the type of album only true/diehard drake fans will enjoy and be able to understand. I personally think it's great but a lot of people were let down due to the fact they thought Drizzy was going to finally going to drop his first full rap album...I hope he does one day though.
  • @boy1durrrr
    I really think Drake will be the GOAT when all is said and done...dude changed music in a big way
  • @Dakkadot01
    This guy is amazing. So calculated, sleek, and focused.He knows how to address things, people, and how to attack
  • @PhiSho924
    Drake's facial expression at 50:44 is absolutely savage. He was DEAD serious.
  • @davidsavage519
    I don't care what anyone says, Views was an excellent album that will be appreciated as such one day
  • @carlmadsen2454
    8 years later and some of the things he speaks about here really came true. Such a good interview
