Today is probably the biggest day in Drake's life. With the release of his highly anticipated debut cd 'Thank Me Later' Drizzy officially holds the Young Money mantle in his hands until Lil Wayne's release from prison.
The Toronto rapper took over 106 and Park yesterday (June 14) and appeared ready for the big day..
Drake said his dream collaboration would be with Prince and relaxes when he's not on stage by wine tasting.
A few 106 fans got the chance to ask Drake questions via Twitter:
Q - What made you want to be a rapper, when did you start?
A - As a kid growing up I was always kind of emotional and I felt bad for it. I was very in tune with my emotions and never really knew how to express myself. And rap is soothing to me like when something goes with wrong a woman or something is going on with my family. I feel like I can tell the world in a classy way, it's like cleansing, it's like therapy.
Q - Where do you come up with the lyrics to your songs?
A - I used to drive and write because I love seeing the city at night. Now I sit and try to reflect on life. I try and view everything in slow motion so I can remember it and pay attention to it. Because everything moves so fast that if I view it in slow motion, it's moving at regular speed. I just write about life and love and the people I care about.
Q - What's the craziest thing a fan has ever done to get your attention, did it work?
A - Yeah, this girl was my phone background for a while, she got 'Drizzy' tattooed on the inside of her lip.
Drake reveals that the 1st song on 'Thank Me Later' which features Alicia Keys titled "Fireworks" has a special meaning. The 2nd verse was written about Rihanna.
"Yeah, that's a situation that I was apart of and by no means do I want to disrespect anybody or put anybody out there," he says. "It was just like a beautiful feeling to me because it was the first time in a long time that a woman made me feel emotional and small."
