Earl Sweatshirt Says Drake Is “Grandma Nice”

    Earl Sweatshirt recently spoke about his impression of Drake. In an interview with The New York Times, Sweatshirt called Drake “grandma nice” and spoke about an argument that he witnessed between Drake and Tyler, the Creator’s mother. In the interview, Sweatshirt also spoke about his impression of Canada. 

    “It was crazy,” Sweatshirt said when asked about a recent visit to Canada. “Canadians are weirdos, though. They are so nice, overbearing nice, like grandmother nice. Toronto is like a city of grandmas.”

    When reminded that Drake is from Toronto, Sweatshirt was also asked if Drake is “grandma nice.”

    “Dude, Drake is grandma nice,” Sweatshirt said. “He was at Frank Ocean’s show in [Los Angeles] and got into an argument with Tyler, the Creator’s mom. I left and came back in the room, and she was apologizing to him for how she came at him, and he was saying, ‘It’s all love. I love you, mom. I love moms.’ Drake loves moms.” 

    This isn’t the first time that Sweatshirt has spoken about his impression of Drake. 

    “Drake, that’s what I’m excited about,” Sweatshirt told MTV in a video published September 4. “That fool’s on fire right now. Shouts out. I don’t think you get the same imagery that I do when I say the name Drake. I think about him in some fucking leather pants with some tight-ass shoes on and some sort of soft material shirt with a funky collar, like not a regular collar…Every time I think about Drake, it’s a stunt, like [he] is doing something wild.”

    During the same interview with MTV, Sweatshirt also spoke about Drake’s interaction with someone’s mother.

    “I met Drake,” Sweatshirt said. “I don’t think he really fucking knew who I was and it was a very hectic scenario ’cause he was getting pressed by somebody’s mom. Long story. Anyways, fuck with me Drake.” 

    Sweatshirt’s video interview with MTV can be seen below. 

    Earl Sweatshirt Addresses Rick Ross’ Controversy With Reebok

    In his NYTimes interview, Sweatshirt also addressed Rick Ross’ Reebok controversy.

    “Rick Ross,” Sweatshirt said. “If he was everything that he rapped about, he’d be the worst coke-dealing mass murderer ever. People got mad because he said something bad on a cool song. That was ridiculous on Reebok’s part. You picked up Rick Ross. He’s cocaine. That’s what his entire career is.”  

    In April 2013, Reebok announced their severing of an endorsement deal with Rick Ross. The announcement followed public protests by many people, including members of women’s rights groups, including UltraViolet. The protests came due to Ross’ lyrics on Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.,” which were interpreted to suggest rape

    1. Sweatshirt got it all backwards. Drake is one of the toughet niggas alive, starting out in a life of crime while Sweatshirt IS grandma nice. Dude is soft as ever. He mad because Drake about to sell at least 750k copies opening week.

      1. thats still more than french montana, tyga, ace hood rich gang and most likely more than 2 chainz will sell first week too

    2. Lol at all you dumb niggas thinkin numbers matter
      drake is soft as the top part of a babys head after birth, SOFT NIGGA

    3. Fuck Earl and his shitty music. His garbage shock value music got old super fast & dude seriously only has one flow. I’m not a huge Drake fan but talking shit about all Canadians is some igorant shit. I’ll make sure to spit on this loser if I see him in my country again. Fucking loser.

    4. Y’all got it all wrong. Nothing is wrong with being nice! Y’all take kindness for weakness. You all have flawed logic!!

      1. haha do we? I’d love to hear how we do that. After living in the US for 4 months recently I’ve got nothing but love for Americans. Seattle was a blast. I met nothing but good people all the way down the west coast from Seattle to LA to Vegas and back up.

    5. Once Again Hip Hop DX uses a misleading headline to make you think that rappers are dissing each other.
      STOP THAT SHIT

      1. WHY if me, the Ja Rule pawns, my sons dentaldamboy & drake runs rap, Yessir, YEBO, the racist fuck, tracklist man, quoteman and others ARE STILL HERE

      1. Deadline for album of the year is september 21st, so yeah no. Drizzy moved it back because he knew he couldn’t compete with kendrick.

      2. Drake is about to sell 1.2 million first week. Birdman just asked me to set up the celebratory party for the milestone. YMCMB stays winnin.

      3. you should set up one for Ja Rule Pain is Love 2 15 million sold…
        Big nigga bout to start BIG things shit Birdman couldn’t do

        MURDER INC OIL COMING TO A GASOLINE STATION NEAR YOU

      1. If “305 to my city” was replaced with “5 am in Toronto” or the “the motion”, I’d go so far as to say NTWS could be a classic album. To me that’s the one mediocre track…the sample and the hook are annoying.

        It’s in the same ballpark as Take Care–an extremely solid record. I need to listen to it a few more times before saying whether it’s better or not. He’s stepped it up since Thank Me Later.

        Fav.tracks after one listen:

        Tuscan Leather
        Too Much
        Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music
        From Time
        Connect — whoever produced this is a fucking genius! I’m guessing 40?

        I’m done.

      2. I was expecting a lot out of 305 to my city like drake would rap about the miami heat, getting rejected from the post game interviews after game 7, and greatness and it turns out its one of the worst song and doesnt even have a verse in it.

    6. First drakes a faggot.
      Second Earl or crossdressing dorris is a fuckin faggot. and a weirdo. I mean the nigga had to put on a skirt and halter top to get anyone to notice his moms took him off punishment
      Third this niggas moms grounded him for a year so he couldntbe in Odd Future with the rest of those upper middle class suburban black kids.
      Fourth and most importantly—–HE,ALONG WITH THE REST OF ODD FUTURE ARE TERRIBLE RAPPERS.

      1. ^so Vanilla Ice is better than KRS One right? because you know more ppl bought Vanilla Ice

        or Lil Wayne is better than Nas right?

      2. yea, the shit he putting up now is trash, only good album he put out since 2008 is tha carter IV but ill take old lil wayne’s music over nas’ old stuff any day.

    7. For those who have spent their time listening through Nothing Was The Same, between take care and NWTS which one do you think drake rapped more in and which one do you think was better?

    8. MY TOP TRACKS FROM NWTS
      (5AM in Toronto would been top 3 for sure if drizzy put it in there)
      1. Too Much
      2. Pound Cake
      3. Tuscan Leather
      4. All Me
      5. The Language
      6. Wu Tang Forever
      7. Connected
      8. Started From The Bottom
      9. Come Thru
      10. Worst Behavior
      11. Furthest Thing
      12. From Time
      13. Hold On We’re Going Home
      14. 305 To My City
      15. Own It

    9. Drake is so nice he allowed Jay-Z to appear on NWTS, even tho Jay is old and irrelevant. And because Drake knows that Jay is weak with the pen game, Drake wrote Jay’s verses for him. So yea, Drake is nice.

      1. No i’m not looking for attention i’m just saying that Jay-Z, Eminem, Juicy J, and Kanye West are all irrelevant and need to retire. Drake is nice for letting Jay-Z come on his track and make him look good.

      2. First off. I made a mistake. I meant Dr Dre instead of Juicy J needing to retire. Juicy J is dope. What I mean by Drake being nice doesn’t mean being soft. He’s a tough ass gangster in his childhood. Drake is nice to let Jay Z on his album even though he sold hardly any aside from the copies he himself bought.

      1. At the beginning he keeps on putting some random guy talking from like a tv show or something and at the end its just a minute of sound no singing or verses.

    10. This talentless kid is a clown, Toronto is a zoo man… people getting shot in broad daylight, kids shooting up malls…c’mon son… It’s cool, you don’t like Drake..most Canadians don’t…but because you don’t like one nerdy actor turned rapper 45 million of us are all the same? You’re fu**ing name is Earl Sweatshirt…how can we take u seriously?

      1. Toronto is one of the safest large cities in the Americas. Being from a city with a high murder rate aint cool man, especially when the people being murdered and doing the murders are YOUR people. Grow Up.

    11. I just won Earl and his Sweatshirt from Diddy in a dice game. Its true, he wrote it on a bit of paper, signed it “Diddy” and everything!

      Word to Big Bird

      1. Bullshit u leave nobody will miss you or your alter ego drake runs rap. Guess what the Ja Rule Army ain’t going nowhere so……..CURVE

    12. so, am I supposed to believe what comes out of the lips of a guy who could looks like he could suck the seeds out of a watermelon?

    13. who is this nobody and why does he have any right to talk about a legend like drake like that. Drake is going platinum first week with the album of the year and this hasbeen sucks frank ocean and tylers dicks to get sales.
