While Drake was in Seattle to perform at the Bumbershoot festival, he visited the grave of Jimi Hendrix who passed away in 1970. You can read what Drizzy said about his visit with Rolling Stone below:
I’m a huge fan — I play the DVD of Hendrix at Woodstock to pump me up before I perform. Watching him go out there at 10 in the morning in shitty weather and conquer the crowd always gives me a little more adrenaline. I just left a little letter for Jimi at his grave. It wasn’t a real letter. I just wrote him a message on a pack of Zig-Zags. It said, “Still inspired.”

what a joke. drake dos’nt like hendrix and i bet he cant even name 10 songs. this is a disgrace. Jimi is rolling over in his grave. there is no way jimi hendrix would stand for drake’s over played commercial mainstream bullshit. jimi was for real. and it shows how much he watches that dvd, hendrix dident go on at woodstock at 10 in the morning, he went on at 9
