DJ Premier:

“Drake brought lyricism back,” he said of the Toronto-native. “For a 22-year-old man, he brought lyricism back. When Gang Starr‘s Step In The Arena came out, I was 22-years-old. And I just thought about it, I was like, ‘D*mn, I was a youngster.’ I wasn’t 30, 31. I was 22 and coming with heat. And that’s why I like that he’s bringing stuff back….J. Cole, I like that he’s bringing lyrics back. Everything doesn’t have to be super, over-lyrical, but we do pride ourselves on cats that can spit, because rap music was always a competition about who got the dopest rhymes.” (XXL Mag) sohh.com/drake-j-cole-praised-by-dj-premier-everything-doesnt-have-to-be-super-over-lyrical

Everyone seems to love Drake — you included. Why do you think that is?

He’s a brilliant genius. He’s a genius. He’s a talented actor. He’s a brilliant comedian — comedic timing is perfection. He’s a talented songwriter. He’s a talented singer. He’s an exquisite, extraordinary producer. He’s a great person. …He invited me to Canada to listen to (2011 album) ‘Take Care,’ and you know, I went there and listened to the album. You know, (I’m) just really proud to see his evolution. He’s one of the few artists I can say is really evolving each time he appears. And that’s inspiring to me. And that’s my challenge.

"Who doesn't love Drake? Drake is so sensitive but yet still so cool. It's a very hard balance to find sometimes. Emotional guys that are sensitive but strong and Drake is definitely that kind of guy. And he really hit home for on this next one called 'Hold On.' I think it's beautiful. It sounds a little bit like kind of old vibey Lionel Richie, The Weeknd. It's sexy as hell. And I listen to it with my boyfriend, so I would suggest listening to it with whoever you wanna make out with."

According to who and what?

Nipsey called Drake “one of the dopest of our generation”

Kehlani speaking nothing but facts

I don't really understand... like a month after she said this they started beefing again. I really wonder what happened. I really hope it wasn't as simple as Drake making amends with Meek because that's so hypocritical and selfish of Nicki if that's the case.

i don't play with the thought of artists' deaths
