Drake Blogs About ‘The Craziest Part About Becoming ‘Famous’
On August - 23 - 20094 COMMENTS
‘To have anyone of any significance in our lives that we can look up to there will be things that we must look past,’ he writes.
Drake may be signed to Lil Wayne’s label, but he seems to be taking more than a few cues from his mentor Kanye West. Case in point: Thursday, Drake took to his personal blog to get something off his chest. In the post, he contemplated how odd his particular brand of fame is and also defended his decision to release his So Far Gone mixtape as a CD.
“People often ask me the craziest part about becoming ‘famous’ and I’ve never had an answer until yesterday,” he wrote. “You’ll spend half of your time defending yourself and the other half trying to stay sane resulting in you being forced to find time to be creative.”
He also openly wonders if the “cyber world of instantaneous information” will ever again yield the sort of rap star who will be able to maintain his image. “I am just urging a generation to understand that in order to have anyone of any significance in our lives that we can look up to there will be things that we must look past,” he wrote, likely responding to the rumors floating around the Internet that he’s gay.
In the post, Drake defended the forthcoming release of his mixtape So Far Gone, which was previously available for free. “I am only releasing this EP so that everyone involved in the project can hold a physical copy of the CD in their hands and see it in the store,” he wrote. “If you got it for free and want to keep it that way then by all means I urge you to.”
Drake is currently at his home outside Toronto where he is working on his upcoming full-length debut Thank Me Later and awaiting surgery on his knee, which he injured while on Lil Wayne’s America’s Most Wanted tour.

Drake Explains Why He Dropped ‘So Far Gone’ EP
On August - 21 - 20091 COMMENT
Drake took to his blog today to talk about why he’s releasing a physical version of his “So Far Gone” mixtape which was previously available for free download. He also talked about becoming famous.
Drake on the physical retail release of “So Far Gone”:
I am only releasing this EP so that everyone involved in the project can hold a physical copy of the CD in their hands and see it in the store. And for anybody else who feels that So Far Gone marked a moment in time I just wanted to give you the option to have the disc. If you got it for free and want to keep it that way than by all means I urge you too. That was a gift from me to you…Thank Me Later.
I’m glad Drake downplayed the release a bit ’cause it’s so clearly a cash grab prior to the release of his debut “Thank Me Later.” Hit the jump to get Drake’s take on becoming famous.

Drake Thinks Knee Injury Was ‘In The Plan’
On August - 18 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
‘I don’t want to jinx it, but things are going so well on this little break until surgery,’ he tells MTV News.
Drake agrees that there’s no place like home.
The Toronto native returned north of the border recently to recuperate after he reinjured his knee three weeks ago while onstage in Camden, New Jersey, during Young Money Presents: The America’s Most Wanted Music Festival.
The “Best I Ever Had” rapper said being back in his hometown has helped center him. After breaking through with his mixtape, So Far Gone, in February, the rapper had been on a meteoric rise that culminated with a record deal through his management and Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment in June. A few minor setbacks, however, followed — from the “Best I Ever Had” video backlash to his knee injury — but he’s rebounding now.
“[This is] giving me a chance to come home,” Drake told MTV News about his injury. “With the series of events that have happened since I’ve been home, I’ve finally got my first place in Toronto by myself, which has been an amazing experience. I’ve gotten to see a lot of friends. We did that Toronto show. We had an amazing night — me, [Young] Jeezy and Trey [Songz] and everybody at a restaurant.
“That and the music I started making,” he continued. “I finally made peace with my city. And that was important for me to start this album, because I didn’t feel peace here. I was starting to come home and feel like everybody was staring at me weird. I was starting to feel a little paranoid. A couple things will happen, people will try to check on you. And you just get to the point where it’s like, ‘I don’t feel comfortable at home.’ That’s a bad thing, especially when Toronto inspires so much of the music that I make.”
While he’s been in Toronto, Drake also worked on the video for “Successful,” featuring Lil Wayne and Trey Songz. While on the set, Jamie Foxx stopped by and talked to the upstart MC about his injury, pleading with him to take it easy. Drake said he’s gotten text messages from LeBron James and Chris Paul echoing the sentiment. “[They] told me, ‘This is serious what you’re dealing with, a sports injury,’ ” Drake explained. “Everyone is telling me cool out.”
Drake is scheduled for surgery next month, he revealed on Twitter this past weekend. He’s still one of the most talked-about rappers right now. And who knows? This experience might be his “Through the Wire” moment, catapulting him from adversity to making history.
“I don’t want to jinx it, but things are going so well on this little break until surgery that I just feel like it was in the plan,” he said.
Drake’s Mixtape to Get Retail Release!
On August - 18 - 2009ADD COMMENTS
Buzz so big he could even sell a free mixtape? Drake’s buzz is about to be put to the test commercially.
Before he releases his debut album Thank Me Later, Drake will re-release his popular mixtape, So Far Gone. The album, which will include the hits “Best I Ever Had” and “Successful,” goes to retailers on September 15, according to MTV News. The revamped project will also feature a new song called “Fear,” which will be added to the end of
So Far Gone and will serve as the transition from his mixtape to Thank Me Later.
“I did this song that no one has ever heard before, ever,” he told MTV News. “[It's] a song called ‘Fear.’ I recorded it when I did
So Far Gone—the first verse and half of the second verse I had gotten through. But then I just stopped because it was getting eerie. It was getting where I didn’t know if I could [finish it]. And then the other night I had a moment and I finished the song. That’s gonna be the last song on the retail [version of]
So Far Gone. And the third verse transitions into Thank Me Later. So the last line of the third verse is gonna be the first line on my album.”
Drake wrapped the video for “Successful” with Trey Songz earlier this week in his hometown of Toronto where he is recovering from a torn ACL.
