Drake may be the most hyped or overhyped (depending on who you ask) rapper in the game right now, but there's one rap vet that's not buying into it just yet.
Drake tells Vibe he tried to get Andre 3000 of Outkast on his debut album, 'Thank Me Later' but was turned down.
“I really tried to do a song with Andre 3000, but I think it was meant for my second album, Dre is one of those people that needs you to do a little more. He’s one of those people that believe in his craft so much that he needs you to do more than just be over hyped or just famous. In his mind, I have to prove myself and the truth is, I do. That’s just being real. I have a lot of work to do, so I actually respect him for that. I think on the second album I’ll probably only have two features. I have a few people in mind and Dre probably will be one of them.”
Drake could probably use that dose of humility right now. With everyone heaping praise on the young MC, getting turned down for a feature should help keep him hungry and focused.
