DJ Semtex Interviews Drake (Video)

Posted in Videos on Jun 02, 2009

DRAKE INTERVIEW – LIVE FROM HYDE PARK, LONDON [PART 1] from DJ SEMTEX on Vimeo.

Drake was supposed to pass through my show last Friday, but he canceled at the last minute due to a studio session that was running late……..with Rihanna.

I hooked up with him the following day, instead of doing the usual studio interview, we hit Hyde Park, which is London’s equivalent of Central Park.

Drake breaks down:

*The Rihanna situation.
*Working with Kanye West
*Working with Chase & Status
*The forth-coming album and releasing it independently.

…..and more.

Drake has so much buzz right now, and he has so many haters. I understand people not liking an artist for whatever reason but I would like someone to have some basis for the hate.
So if you DONT like Drake, why not? and if you do, why do you like him?

    I loved this interview...I saw it earlier this morning on AT-F... I like Drake because his whole persona is like the male version of me. And his music is literally every thing I want in an artist that I want to listen to... and...he's perfect. I don't know... alot of things.

    Well lemme give you my $0.02 There are a couple of types of Drake fans
    1) The ones like me that have been fans since he was the lanky light skinned dude with the brows ( y'all true fans know what I'm talking about)
    2) The BET/ White kids they only know him because of Wayne and if he did a show with material from before 2008 the room would be on full blank faced stare
    3) The Blogger/ Average Joe these people are sojmewhat reasonable have heard the buzz investigated and like what they heard
    4)THE HATER !!!!! these fans do an amazing job at pretending they hate Drake they swag is just too much for them so they have to "hate" but will listen to every song comment on various blogs about someone they feel is "overrated" and be in their Mary J not gon cry getup when the album drop

    LOL !
    #4 is very true, but dont forget the person who has only heard "best i ever had" just bc they cant escape it on the radio,complain about how overrated he is and refuses to listen to any of his other music bc they dont wanna look like "bandwaghoppers" or "d*ck riders"

    I really like Drake's music. I started listening to him about 2 years ago when my friend let me hear this freestyle he did over Robin Thicke's "Teach U a Lesson"....After that I found out about "Brand New" and since then I've basically downloaded everything of his to my mp3 player. I love "Come Winter" and pretty much everything else from his Comeback Season mixtape. To be perfectly honest though, I don't really like the songs he does with Wayne. He sounds better alone. (more eclectic and "back-packy'.....) I hope he stays true to his underground roots and doesn't lean toward a sound that is too commercial now that he has officially crossed over.

    I agree 100% about the Wayne comment, that was my only complaint about the So Far Gone mixtape, too much Wayne! Drake's flow is so rare on its own, it doesn't need Weezy's influence.
  • xtina
    i love drake because he was like FUCK IT, they are never gonna let me out of the wheelchair so he went on to bigger and better things
  • raevanaa
    I like him as a rapper, but I can't take the whole rapper thing serious. I mean, he was wheelchair Jimmy for god's sake...

    Maybe I'm shallow. W/E.
  • pkat
    LMAO at everyone trying to prove how far back they were down with Drake

    "I knew about Drake back in 02' when he got his braces removed."

    Who cares?! D
