Drake was one of several rappers to land multiple Grammy nominations this year, the Toronto native sat down with Global Grind and talked about what the four nods meant to him.
“It’s always, to get any type of Grammy accolade or anything, it’s cliche but it’s a dream come true in the literal sense, that thing you have between sleeping and waking up,” said Drake. “That time spent I used to think about being on the stage and being able to thank the people that have done so much for me in my life. And I remember the first time I went to the Grammy Awards and I looked at the set up of it at The Kodak Theater and it was like man, this is very similar to the dream I’ve been having since the Degrassi days. I’ve been having this dream, I never knew where it was and it never really specified what the award was, but I knew it was a night I could let the people know–the people in my life know–how much they have done with me. To have four opportunities to have that chance is incredible.”
Meanwhile, Drake will be the host of the next Juno Awards, which is Canada’s version of the Grammys.

you mean the four manufactured nods The Grammys gave him because they know his father was the drummer for Jerry Lewis…industry politics…Drake and The Grammys are both manufactured…There’s no realness in The Grammys…All of the entire Grammy board of nominators and judges are all fucking clueless and dumb ass clowns that refuse to nominate underground rap artists like Pharoahe Monch,M.O.P.,Jay Electronica,Saigon,or any other underground artists of that magnitude because they refuse to listen to them and act like they don’t exist…They’ll nominate Jay,Eminem,and Drake every single year because of the mainstream,the big endorsements,the business,and money…They only nominated The Roots just to act like they are evening shit out and keeping it fair…They don’t know what fair means and could care less what fair means…The Grammys = Manufactured folks that don’t know shit about rap music and could care less
What your saying makes no sense. Grammys are not a hip hop awards its a mainstream award show. So if your underground your not going to get a nod. Has any of these guys released an album that garnered a million fans or plus?
you should get a nom for the TALENT you bring to the music art form thats what the grammy is supposedly about at the end of the day. but its obvious its just mainstream trash with no real substance in the music. just a popularity contest. its a shame what the music industry has come too.
also alot of underground artists use too got grammy nods years ago.
Distant Relatives should have been nominated for something! i mean have you heard the music on that album?
nowadays you don’t need talent to make it just the right relationships.
I agree. I stopped watching the Grammy’s yrs ago.
I hear you, but you kind of make no sense. The Grammy’s give out awards to the biggest and most succesfull acts of the year musically. and while I would love to see “Pharoahe Monch,M.O.P.,Jay Electronica,Saigon,or any other underground artists of that magnitude” get nominated, You can’t nominate acts that not even 25% of the country have heard. It’s for all forms of music, not hip hop!
Aubrey Drake Graham is an example of what the mainstream music industry can do with a rap artist if they wanna make a star out of him.

yo i dont think hes the best. but i respect his hustle this kid was an overnnight celebrity in the hiphop rnb world. but he was already famous from degrassi so he didnt struggle to make it. he had an easy life and maddd money from that tv show. but he writes the hoooks that make hit songs. and thats why he blew up. cuz of his affiliation with weezy and catch commercial pop rap music. so i cant hate on him. sure he had an easy life and his probobly soft but he did his thang he makes hit records that bitches love and he made it. so good for him. i jus dont listen to his music.

It’s a shame that all ya’ll are hating on a man who made a dope record, just because he ain’t from the projects or some bullshit like that.
Drake is dope! Point blank.
and this is coming from a cat who reps the underground fully.
