In an interview with The Omaha-World Herald, Nasir says Aubrey is two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen.

So who is that guy for you? Who are you listening to?
Drake and always Scarface.

Why?
Drake is new. (He’s a rapper from Toronto.) He’s here to show anybody who questions him that he’ll get at you. He’s like fresh water right now on dry land. Scarface is the realist rapper. He’s the most musically serious, besides Kanye (West), right now. What Scarface says in his rhymes is real. You can’t get away from (Lil) Wayne right now. So that’s what I’m listening to. I’m waiting on Dr. Dre’s album.

Yeah, since 1999.
