“I signed Drake because he wasn’t a hard rapper” – Lil Wayne.
“They brought Drake to me and told me he’s from Canada, and that was already disinteresting. What I love about him is that on listening to his songs, there was nothing about trying to sound hard.
He could literally rap about eating cereal in the morning and going to the corner store at 12, and he made it sound cool.
Then a hook came up, and in the hook, he was singing, and I was like, ‘Who is on that hook?’
They said it was him. At this point, I was like, ‘Yeah, we need this one…'”
Fast forward to today, Drake is one of the greatest and highest-selling rappers of this generation….
