Drake previously stated that The Weeknd would play a role in his upcoming sophomore album Take Care. Now, the Toronto, Canada native revealed the extent to which the elusive singer for the LP, confirming his four guest spots on the November 15th LP.
“He’s like a writer, collaborator on four songs on my album which I’m very proud of,” he told MTV News. “I usually don’t branch out writing-wise working with other people. I usually like to write all my own stuff, but we get it. We try to tap into the same emotions because we’re from the same city.”
He also spoke on The Weeknd’s current label situation, explaining that the vocalist is tied to his hometown and hasn’t really branched out just yet.
“He’s not signed right now, he’s still in the city, he hasn’t left. He’s never been on a plane before. I don’t think he’s ever left the city,” he continued. “He’s a real Toronto kid that’s just one of the most talented people I’ve ever come across.”

Yawn. That means his album is going to be RnB album of the year. Since he already leaked 3 RnB joints and confirmed 4 other tracks with The Weeknd we can assume its all slow tracks. Drake is getting real lame
Yea u rite he should rap about gang bangin like er body else rite? dumbass smh
@frank
no, he can just rhyme about anything jackass. Think and reason before you post anything. And in no way was it emphasized he should rhyme about gangbangin. You obviously don’t listen to much hip hop seeing that you think “everybody else” rhymnes about gang banging. smh at idiots…
FRANK is a McDOUCHE!!
Why does Drakes face move so weird?
cocaine
^^Fags.

Cant wait!!!!!!!!
I smell a THANK ME LATER PT 2 …aka another RnB album SMH
Drake you my nigga, but shit….
No question the kid is nice and no doubt he gets busy- I’m not talking about him but Ali Lafayette Rhea. One Love
shut the fuck already. no cares about you
man this is just another lupe fiasco
he’s got the skills and the flow but he chooses shitty r&b beats. why drake? fucking why?
comparing drake to lupe? you must be a teenager
lupe is far more skilled than drake but what he means is they both have talent and skills to jump on better sounding tracks than they do which is true is some cases drake could sometimes choose better beats and collabs as well as lupe
the weeknd has never been outside toronto? lol
Drake, you need to sign this kid, because after people hear him on your album, he is going to blow the f up in the United States!
He can put the weeknd on four song but Phonte cant get on on one of them shits? damn!!
rumor is CashMoney won’t let him have Phonte on the album….for “image” reasons

CAN’T WAIT TILL FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE….WOnder which will be better….Section 80 or FRiend of the People???????
I’ve been following Drake’s career ever since he starred in the last Star Trek movie as Spock. It seems like this guy can’t do anything but win. Congrats on all your success Drake! I’m so proud of you!
so you just tried being clever by calling Drake gay, because Spock’s actor is gay, crazy original. Hilarious, but you’ll never make it with a name like that, you should probably just kill yourself.
Haha! That’s some funny shit.
@wow… bro… it’s a joke chill.
Homosexual at the least.
hahaha but he makes sick music…
drake is cool but he is putting himself in a corner….he needs to stop talking about women all the damn time!!!i know how powerful pussy can be but try to talk about your life or make concept records…lol….geeeeeeezzzz…lol….
I hear what you saying and I agree with everything you said for the most part as far as having more content, and subject matter to his overall sound. But a lot of those records about life and certain concept records are played. I think Drake is sticking to what works for him as well as showcasing his rap skills a lil more on this album. He’s saying The Weekend got 4 features on the album so I would assume since dude is a R&B singer he’s gonna be doing the choruses for the songs which means we gonna hear Drake rhyme a lil more which is a good look for him. I think he knows he gets a lot of criticism for all the singing he does on hooks which IMO he does well and is going to continue to do but for this album I think we can look forward to more rapping from him.
this has got to be an old interview. The Weeknd just did a show out in london a few weeks ago so he had to get on a plane lol
not london england…theres a london in canada
this guy is soft as a babys ass!
He never said shit about him “appearing” on tracks. He said “writer/collaborator”. Doesn’t mean it’s not true but god damn. Get your shit straight Hip Hop DX, you fuckers have been pissing me off.
WAYNE BETTA BE ON 8 TRACKS THEN!!!!
Reporter: So drake you said the your second ablum would be exclusively rapping?
Drake: Right…
Reporter: All the songs we’ve currently heard are of you whining like bitch??
(Drake starts crying)
Drake: … I don’t…
Reporter: Go on, yes….
Drake: …. i don’t, I don’t trust these bitches..
Reporter: …okay….
Drake: they may catch me slipping…
(drake looks around)
Drake: Ooooh Nooooooo!!!!
Reporter: what??
Drake: Trust Issues…
Reporter: Okay Drake…. clearly your fag!
Classic. LMAO!
Love The Weeknd…One of the best new artists of the past few years…
the weekend has vocals on headlines if you listen closely “if they don’t get the’ll be over you that new shit that you got is overdue” part that’s him idk if that’s included with the four writing/collaborations but he is a really talented dude as drake said
