Video After The Jump
Aubrey Drake Graham better known in the rap world as simply Drake continues to climb the ladder of success. With his debut album 'Thank Me Later' set to drop in June, the Young Money rapper sat down with CNN to talk about how far he's come and where he wants to go.
Coming into the game, Drake felt like he already had obstacles he had to overcome.
"Part of the appeal of me as an artist is I did have things that were initially seen as strikes against me'" he expained. "Like being from Canada, being an actor, being light skinned, being Jewish."
"There are all these things that in the stereotypical rap world that don't fit the package."
With those initial hurdles out of the way, Drake is starting to enjoy a few of the perks of stardom. Such as having women toss their bras and panties on stage during his concerts.
"I just feel honored to be inducted into the bra and panties tossing club,"
Drake went on to say that a lot of his music is inspired by women, their minds and emotions.
On the topic of his boss Lil Wayne, Drake feels like he was treated unfairly.
"I've talked to Wayne since he's been in jail. In my opinion he didn't do anything wrong," he said. "I think that was an opportunity to make an example out of somebody who didn't deserve to be made an example out of."
