Drake allegedly thought there was some sneak dissing going on after hearing Irv Gotti said he’s never made an album that’s a “masterpiece,” but Gotti says it’s all love.
During an interview with Nick Cannon on his Power 106 radio show on Thursday (July 9), the veteran music mogul addressed the Drake comments he initially made during an appearance on The Breakfast Club the week prior. Revealing he personally spoke to Drizzy, Gotti explained his musical opinion holds no bearing on his friendships.
“I spoke to Drizzy, and you know he was like, ‘You got my people’s saying, they thought we was close,'” Gotti explained to Cannon. “I said, ‘Drizzy, we are close. Nothing has changed.’ And I said, ‘I’m not one of them hating guys that hated on you.'”
And while he didn’t change his stance, he reiterated how talented he feels Drake is.
“He’s on another planet,” Gotti said about Drake. “I consider him and JAY-Z – they’re like on Uranus, while we’re on the planet Earth.”
During his June 30 appearance on The Breakfast Club, Gotti grouped Drake in with the “young generation” and said none of them have impactful albums.

“You don’t see or hear from the young generation albums, impactful albums,” he’d said. “You feel impactful singles. Listen, I’ma even say Drake – who I love. Drizzy, I love you, you know I love you! You know, ‘Murder Inc. like my nigga Irv,’ that’s me! Aye, I love you, I love your music, but would you say Drizzy has delivered an album to that stature? Which I know he can, but I don’t know if he collectively put that energy and said, ‘I’m gonna deliver a masterpiece.’ Does Drizzy have a masterpiece?”

This generation of rappers is disgracefully soft, cant take any honest critique of their music because they know theyre not actually in the business of making good music
Ja Rule vs Drake . Beef of the century . I’m sure their lullabies will put everyone to sleep, including themselves.
That’s that jooish victim mentality. They convince themselves they are being persecuted and under attack 24/7 with H1tler lurking around every corner and anudda shoah coming their way every second. I read about a study where they asked a bunch of joos to tell what one single thing defines their jooish identity, an overwhelming majority, think it was 73% – answered “the h010caust”. Let that sink in. Talk about a victim mentality, when you define your entire fuckin identity on some (alleged) tragedy that happened to some of you back in the day. The jooish children are taught early on how they are going to be genocided and persecuted unless they wipe out the evil white man. Victimization causes you to justify any wrongdoing towards other races, that you the joo see as inferior according to your own r4bbi’s teachings. The T.almud book says that non-joos are animals, subhuman cattle with no soul, whose only purpose to exist is to serve the joo. Meanwhile they are taught they are “god’s chosen people” instead. That is the very definition of racism right there. But hey, let’s just talk about white supremacy instead. That’s how the joos divert your attention away from them, when they are the true racists. The most racist creed on this fuckin planet.
Godamn right they dont follow Jesus they are all a bunch of anti christ. Nobody speaks of the genocide they commit against the world every day or the millions of souls they have killed. It is all.tactics use different cultures to attack one another by creating false narratives censoring the real truths out there in canada the indigenous are told to hate the whites in the south African Americans should hate the whites in the USA and while we are fight each other over literally nothing they get richer they take more of our rights each time soon we will have none time to stand for what matters
“truth teller” you sound hella stupid and delusional, you make no sense at all, you must hate yourself or have mommy issues.
You sound like a very sicko racist. Get help!
Irv was just saying as nicely as he can, Drake doesn’t have a Classic album. Its true, Drake is capable of putting out good songs but as far as a Whole Album, its usually Good but Not Great
Theirs a difference between a classic & a masterpiece.
Drizzy is oversensitive……..most of these millennials are oversensitve….
Drake does not have a classic album, period. His albums have not been as impactful as the chronic, 36 chambers, illmatic, the blueprint or even college dropout.
Bro! You said it best. How can you have a hip hop masterpiece with pop and ballads songs on the album? Not to mention that Drake, bar-to-bar does not have any playback or rewind potential like hip hop artists back in the day. The Lox and Beanie Siegel made me push that rewind back before the first verse ended. Drake has none. His one dimensional voice is so boring. Wordplay and delivery is so commercial based. That’s why he dominates in today’s music.
Hate because you know Drake is Billboard artist of the decade. This speaks to how much he is loved by people other than envious haters. And he has two classic albums that have been on the chart of more than 300 weeks — Take Care and Nothing Was the Same, and a couple of others that will make that. These albums are the best I’ve heard that I will never stop listening to. I never get tired of them and that is why they are still riding high on the chart. And why Drizzy had the number one rap album of the decade and number one artist rap and overall of the 2010s. So keep with the hate.
Take Care is pretty widely regarded almost a decade later. Is it a classic? Sometimes I think so.
Nah. Nicki fucked that up for him with that, I look like yes and you look like no bullshit. All jokes aside, that album is very mediocre.
That line’s from Thank Me Later, not Take Care fool
This sounds about right. Drake has never made a masterpiece. Put Eminem up there as well.
I agree that masterpiece albums are rare these days. Good Kid Mad City is the last album to have come out that I’d say is widely regarded as a masterpiece, but Take Care and Nothing Was the Same are up there and are certainly considered masterpieces to some people.
All I hear is hate and envy. These folks want Drake’s music to be just like the people of the past they consider the greats who created masterpieces. But he is new and his sound is different. It’s about growing and the future. They were then, now is now. When I listen to Drake I hear hope for the future. That is what makes his music so great to me. He has several classics and a couple of masterpieces as far as I’m concerned. Where are Irv Gotti’s?
