ON KANYE WEST’S RANT ABOUT HIM AND DJ KHALED Zee: So realistically you wanted to go pop, but you were worried about alienating hip hop? Don’t you think you could’ve just said that you’re following up a rap record with a pop record? Or were you afraid of how it would be perceived after Meek’s “exposal”? Also, just to clarify, you’re not saying that hip hop doesn’t make you happy are you? You know I still listen to the bars and I know exactly where I was at and they are great to me, and they are time markers to me, but yeah, I guess we’ll get into ‘More Life’ after and how that situation progressed.
But obviously I know why I’m here, I know who my core fanbase is, and so towards the end of the album, I tried to execute it as best as I could, on the rap end.
#Drake more life album interview full#
So there was a time where I actually thought about taking the rap off of VIEWS and just making it an album full of music that made me happy with melody. If you were that defensive about the topic, why not just address it and move on? People assumed that you no longer wanted to compete in that lane. Zee: That’s interesting to me because the perspective out there was that VIEWS had less hip hop because your pen was in question. I was having trouble trying to make rap music where I was able to peel back the layers and every time I’d make a song - ’40’ is always really bluntly honest with me and was like “Man you really sound like aggressive and defensive” - and I was just trying to figure out why and I realised it was just a reaction to my previous situation that had kinda happened before that. The direct text from Drake’s interview is in bold.īut just the style of music that was making me happy at the time, because to be completely honest with you I was having trouble figuring myself out in rap at that time I was a very defensive individual just coming off the situations that I’d come off of. So, I decided to ask an imaginary Drake the questions Semtex did not. And yet, I could not help feeling that the interview (like most celebrity interviews) was very scripted and that Semtex failed to ask Young Aubrey important follow up questions.
