Drake said : “All these guys that are like, ‘You gotta go to New York and make it happen,’ no you don’t, man,” he says. “That’s dead now. Do it the way The Weeknd did it. Do it the way PARTYNEXTDOOR did it. Do it the way I did it. Do it from where you’re at.” Drake also said that his hometown of Toronto is one of his main motivations. His exact words where: “All I did was find a way to make people proud of our city,” he says.
“The artists from our city, their whole objective was to get out. So I just had to flip that way of thinking.” Drake elaborated on how important is for him to really stand out in the industry. Also spoke on some advice his father game him that he almost didn’t take.
“Rap music has always been about storytelling,” he says. “I’ve never seen the sense in crafting a story that isn’t my own. Just rapping is not really that impressive anymore. There just has to be more. You have to be a multi-layered artist. My father was like, ‘If you really wanna shock the world, you’ll sing and rap.’ I was like, ‘You’re crazy. This is like the worst idea possible.'”
