Drake is currently prepping the release of Take Care, due November 15th, and claims that the album will actually tell a story. Speaking with MTV News, Drizzy said that the LP was inspired by his cut “Houstatlantavegas” where he imagines an affair with a stripper held prisoner by her situation.
“It was a world that was very much real to me, but I created it in my mind. It was a world that, being a kid from Toronto, I used to look at from the outside and I used to be like, ‘Man that looks crazy,’” he said. “All those strip clubs and all those nightclubs and the drinks and the girls and the fame.
“I used to stare at this world through a glass window and, like, two to three years later, I become a king in that world,” he continued.
He also explained that his album cover was inspired by his rise in the ranks, though he isn’t letting it get to him.
“That’s who’s sitting on that album cover, that kid that’s just somehow gone from his mom’s basement in Toronto to becoming a king,” he explained. “That’s what that album cover is about and there is a lot of deep thought involved in that ’cause you can go crazy doing this.”

Drake’s facebook likes.
The hate he gets is motivated out of straight jealousy.
righhhttt. i dont knw one person that would want to be him lol
that was so random
Only a weirdo would think a Facebook like or dislike actually means anything in the real world. So if 5 million people liked on Facebook having dogshit smeared on their faces would you approve of that too?
^ lol. seriously though, facebook likes is how you choose to validate your artist? thats kinda undermining
Everyone trying to discredit Drake’s likes on Facebook, is just man that they don’t get paid for having likes. I would love to have only 5% of Drakes money.
Damn, the hate Drake receives is unreal.
drakes a bitch… always whinin ass nigga… aint even a real nigga ass nigga… only jew nigga i know ass nigg..
He talks about his Mom’s basement like it was a horrible experience to live thru. He had an entire floor to himself with a pool table and a few different rooms.
lmao
He just 24 years old and he already has earned over 15 million dollars. That’s more than you and your mom will ever see.
@Anonymous
Nigga that’s his point dumb ass! Drake had access to fame and success prior to his rapping so why is he acting like he was a broke starving kid looking for a way out? I mean isn’t his mom a lawyer? Dude had very nice cars at 16-17 if you watch on Youtube.
Real shit good interview!!!!!!!
is he really referring to himself as a king?
LOL at thought dog’s classic comment.
This nigga just needs to make quality music. I do respect the introspection though with the surreality of what he’s experience thru his climb to the top of the mountain so to speak.
Just stop making wack ass songs. That’s all I ask.
Take Care’s gunna be good, i liked Thank Me Later too, he puts out solid work, not amazing work, but he knows what he’s good at.
i liked thank me later too. dont know why it gets so much criticism
disney hiphop
Disney don’t sound shit like Drake. When was the last time you got into a fist fight and won?? Probably not since 1st grade, you coward.
time to come out the closet you homo! everybody knows that you are gay you degrassi junior high rapper
u sound really dumb for hating this man, because he made a living acting. u acting like u a thug online, but ain’t getting paid for it lol.
Drake is a great young rapper, with alot of haters, but with more lovers. He doesn’t ever have to worry about cash for the rest of his life. Lame and busters can’t hurt his grind.
It’s always fascinating to see people focusing so much on another mans sexuality. Are you that insecure about your own sexuality? Wow. The Take Care EP was really good, definitly looking forward to the LP!
Honestly, it’s ridiculous, isn’t it?
Unbelievable.
im a young money fan, but my prediction is that in a few years Drake is going to outshine the shit out of Lil’ Wayne. Drakes already that dude. His concepts are there, his flows are nice, his singing is on point, and the dude can act. Wayne on the other hand jus raps punch line after punch line and sometimes his songs don’t even hold a message. Mark my words y’all haha Drakes got this shit in the bag.
Ahh…right…let me break this down. The OWL Tatto which is the symbol of the Bohemian Grove and an album cover called “take care” for which the ceremony done at the Bohemian grove is called “take care”. This guy is the of these initiates we protesting against here in wall street and world wide. He is “The Poster Child” literally thanks to his album cover.
