Drake Says Jay-Z Gives Him ‘Different’ And ‘Influential’ Advice

Posted on 19. Mar, 2010 by Danny M in Latest News

“It’s just me and Jay both rapping on it for an extended period of time,” Drake told MTV News on the set of his video for “Over.” “It’s real rap. It’s real rap. I do sing on it, but it’s just on the hook — but it’s rap. It’s great. The perspective, the dynamic on the track — it’s me and Jay’s relationship on the song, basically. When you hear it, people will be like, ‘Oh man.’ That’s how we are — just the two. He definitely has guided me a lot, as far as his words and his advice. We have a real funny rapport. I always enjoy my conversations with Jay. It’s good.”

“Sort of the same thing. [Jay] does it in this way — when Jay says something, it’s different from anyone else. It just means that much more. Jay just has this aura about him. It’s like, ‘That’s why you’re Jay-Z.’ For a guy like me who grew up wanting to be Jay-Z, it’s influential — it’s very, very influential. We have great conversations. Just life. I’m not an AWOL type of character that you have to sit down and instruct. I’m pretty aware of myself and how to go through this whole process. The conversations are just funny and good and settles my mind.”

education

I wish all you “haters” YO would get a better education rather than spending time knocking Jay-Z and Drake who will crush you all with their wallets. You poor uneducated bastards. In addition, men lie women lie numbers don’t. HOV is #1 solo artist in HISTORY! Unlike you he will live on in time. Your little internet comments will rot away in a couple of decades just like you and your patheic life.
