Drake is FOCUSED…….
This year Drake is gearing up to release his third album titled, ‘Nothing Was The Same‘…GQ snagged him for the July cover and he lets us know that there is much more than meets the eye.
We might assume that Drake is out slutting with every industry chick and stripper in town but he sits down to reveal that he has NO DESIRE to sleep around with random chicks . He also dived into the Chris Brown issue where he shared he would like to sit down man-to-man with Chris Brown but doesn’t see it ending to well, in addition to his current postion of NEVER being in love and searching for Mrs. Right….
Catch a few highlights below:
On refusing to sleep around
You know the way fighters don’t f-ck before the fight? Sometimes I feel like I’m so focused on training my body and getting my mind right to create this album that sex isn’t one of my main priorities. If someone is around that I know and trust, I’m down. But I’m not going to end up with some stranger at this party.
On love
[Will Smith said] It’s not about wanting anymore, you need that person. Hearing that, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt that way…I’ve made a lot of music about love being the only thing I’m missing. I think this is the first album I’ve made saying, ‘I’m okay, I’m enjoying it right now.’ Maybe this is my time to grind it out, make a run for it, and add some memories with my boys.On other rappers criticizing him:
You notice they don’t criticize the music itself, though…I’m okay with that.On the Chris Brown drama:
I hear he has everything he could want now. I don’t want my name to be synonymous with that guy’s name. I really don’t. I wish we could sit down just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that’s not going to happen. I’m not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I’m not going to back down. If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot, like I get a feeling it could end really badly…Like, it gets really dark.On “Started From The Bottom”
I think a lot of people wish their favorite rapper wrote it—as if a song like that should be gangster—but I was the one who wrote it, and everyone has their bottom.As for my whole story, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve told bits and pieces of it—and I’ll tell more. Maybe because I had friends who grew up in the hood, I could have acted like I had, too, and perpetrated a different lifestyle, and it would be eating away at me because it wouldn’t be the truth. I’m actually here in front of you living the truth. I wake up in the morning and my heart is light, man. It’s not heavy. I don’t have skeletons in the closet on their way out. This is my real age, my real name, my real past, and I’m good with that.
