Drake suits up for GQ’s Style Bible, talks father, fame, & state of Hip-Hop



Rapper/Singer Drake was featured for GQ's first-ever style bible issue. In the magazine, he gets very personal and discusses his relationship with his father, he spoke about the state of Hip-Hop, on pre- and post-Internet fame, how his life has changed and on his sex-life. Check his responses to each one of those's topics below.

On his relationship with his father: "Me and my dad are friends. We’re cool. I"ll never be disappointed again, because I don't expect anything anymore from him. I just let him exist, and that’s how we get along. We laugh. We have drinks together. But I spent too many nights looking by the window, seeing if the car was going to pull up. And the car never came"

On the state of hip-hop: "Rap now is just being young and fly and having your shit together. The mood of rap has changed".

On pre- and post-Internet fame: "Some of my favorite rappers, some of my heroes - DJ Screw, Aaliyah - there might be like 200 pictures of them because there was no Internet. Whereas with us, it's like every moment is documented".

On how his life has changed: "I'm trying to find the same feelings that I had for women when I had very little going on, which is tough. When I was in my mom's house, I had nowhere to go, no real obligations. My girlfriend at the time, if she was mad at me, my day was all fucked-up. I didn't have anything else. And that made for some of the best music, I think, to date. Records where I felt small. That feeling is hard to capture when you're sitting out here in a space like this. It's really difficult for me to find something that makes me feel small".

On his sex life: "There's just a time where it was like, just getting pu**y. Where I was in that sort of I'm young, I'm going to disconnect from my emotions and just do what everyone else tells me I should do and just be a rapper and have my fun. And for me as a person, it just doesn't work. I just need something else. The seconds after a man reaches climax, that's like the realest moment of your life. If I don't want you next to me in that fifteen, twenty seconds, then there’s something wrong".
