GQ scored an interview with Drake for their online division. In their discussion, Drizzy explains the meaning behind the title of next Tuesday’s release, Take Care. You announced the title of this album, Take Care, with us back in December. What does it mean? Drake:No one has actually asked me that yet. I came up with the name when I was on a bus in Birmingham, England, going to a show. “Take Care” is this thing we use in passing […]

A few months back, Phonte of Little Brother vented about Drake’s reluctance to collaborate. In an interview with The Village Voice, Drizzy explains the delay and apologizes to Phonte for giving him the cold shoulder. You’ve talked a lot about your admiration for Phonte. How come another collaboration with him still hasn’t happened? With me and Tay, I kinda dropped the ball on a feature he needed me to do, just being 100% honest. I really wanted to do a […]
Time to throw in the towel. After revealing a joint album in the works with Lil Wayne, Drake tells XXL that he and Weezy have decided to cancel the project due to comparisons to the Throne album. Least he has Rozay. Me and Wayne scrapped the idea of a collaboration album. We just agreed that it would be looked upon as…It would be sort of this competition [with Watch The Throne]. I feel like it would get caught in this whirlwind of hype. [Wayne] agreed. We […]
[vodpod id=Video.15660398&w=540&h=350&fv=] The bad news: Overnight, Drake’s sophomore album Take Care sprung a leak. The good news? One of the records sprouted was “Lord Knows” produced by Just Blaze. Simply put, the track is amazing. The song sounds like its anchored by a soul sample, but its not. Here’s brief footage of Just getting his Quincy Jones on with a live choir. Death to the jiggy rap! Take Care November 15th.
Drizzy and Rozay sure make beautiful music together. And in a interview with XXL, Drake says that they plan on taking it further with a mixtape. “I have been working on a mixtape with Ross,” Drake said. “A mixtape called Y.O.L.O. [That means] ‘You Only Live Once’. I’ve been working on that for the last couple of weeks. We haven’t really connected because he’s been going through this thing with his health. I’ve been stashing my little beats and verses.” […]

Earlier today, Future sat down with The Source and said he was disappointed that Drake didn’t appear in his “Tony Montana” video. Although the clip was executed well, he says Drake flaked when it was call time.
This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
