Thanks to Kanye West’s appearance at OVO Fest in August and recent comments he made in regards to fellow emcee Drake over the past week, it appears that any past issues the two artists may have had with one another have been fully resolved.
Before traveling up to Toronto for the final leg of his Yeezus tour, Kanye appeared on Chicago’s Power 92 to discuss a variety of topics and even referenced a line from Drake’s verse on Nicki Minaj’s “Moment 4 Life” while speaking on breaking boundaries.
“I need to be a poster child of what it means to break all boundaries,” said Kanye. “’Cause I look at the inside of this TV, I look at all this matrix we in. And I’m like, man, ain’t none of this real. The only thing real is your family, your loved ones, the time that you have. Only luxury is time and the only thing promised is that you gonna die one day. So like Drizzy say, he said, ‘Everybody dies but not everybody lives.’ So we just gonna live this to the maximum, to the fullest.”
In addition to quoting Drake during his radio interview last week, Ye referred to the Canadian wordsmith as a “rap God” during his Yeezus tour performance in Toronto and also thanked the Young Money rapper for attending last night’s (December 22) show.
“I want to thank the rap God Drake for coming out tonight,” said Kanye as he concluded his Toronto performance.
Following Kanye’s show in Toronto, which serves as one of the Yeezus tour’s last stops, both Drake and Ye were pictured together celebrating at a local club. In a handful of videos posted by clubgoers, Kanye can be seen rapping along to Drake’s “Headlines” and “Worst Behavior.”
The relationship between both Drake and Kanye, who directed the Toronto musician’s “Best I Ever Had” music video, gradually changed following the announcement of Kanye and Jay Z’s collaborative album, Watch The Throne.
In a 2011 interview with Tim Westwood, Drake commented on creating a joint album similar to Watch The Throne with Lil Wayne and included a vague mention of Jay and Kanye’s album.
“We still got to do that album I heard two other guys are coming out with an album together, too,” said Drake. “There’s two other rappers are coming out with an album together. I don’t know where they got that idea but…I caught wind of it through the grapevine that there’s some other album with two guys rapping on it.”
Drake also dropped this subliminal Watch The Throne mention on DJ Khaled’s “I’m On One” as he rapped, “I’m just feeling like the throne is for the taking, watch me take it.”
Video from Kanye West’s interview with Power 92’s DJ Pharris and a clip from his Toronto Yeezus tour stop can be found below (via Complex and HotNewHipHop).

Kanye = The new king of the Ls.
Ye is now more soft than Drake by default
Get off his nutz
Ye need to stop smoking that shit
I’m not surprised by this. This is the same guy who defended Soulja Boy’s wack ass and worked with 2 Chainz and Chief Keef. I don’t expect him to be correct about every artist.
he has horrible taste in music.
More like an R&B God.
drake is good as a pop artist, he’s irrelevant to rap
Stop hatin nigga. Damn
OP’s right though. That’s not hate. Rap heads don’t bump Drake. And other rappers leech off of him like they would with say Rihanna. He is a pop artist not a rap artist
r&b fuckekrs
Every OG rap artist has co-signed Drake so who are you speaking for? Also on the streets most people like when Drake raps they just don’t like the singing. So as the 2nd commenter said …STOP HATING
drake sounds like a dying bird!
the fuck u talkin about “in the streets”..fuck outta here you cornball ass nigga. WHAT STREETS? there are far better rappers than drake’s soft rnb ass and everyone knows that. drake aint no rap god cause he can barely rap..fuckboy
its room for them both..he sees drake as an asset… associate with people who bring u up like your peers who make the same power moves
Gay of the year
I though Kanye was our rapgod?
My wish for 2014:
I hope that Drake and Kanye will DIE!!!!!!!
I wish you and your mother would die. Don’t be a loser wishing death on people you don’t even know in real life you #IDIOT
you a loser hating on people’s death to homie. HOW ABOUT MY WISH: NO ONE DIES
@ 2nd anon, calling the kettle black?
“The only thing real is your family, your loved ones, the time that you have” Overall, this comment makes Kanye look more down to earth than in recent interviews.Sway and Charlemagne did a good job with bait questions that paint him as selfish and materialistic. It was a smart move to work with Drake,which is half Jewish it fixes the comment about Jews. but,i agree Ye, their far more Jewish people in power with connections than blacks..which makes it harder to jump-start a business in a weak economy
As much as Kanye can be an Arse he usually speaks the truth and/or from the heart
FIRST OFF FUCK ALL U NON BELIEVERS AND DICKRIDING SHEEP WHO DONT BELIVE THAT I AM THE MOST INFLUNTIAL ARTIST SINCE MICHAEL! YOU LOSERS SIT ON UR LAPTOPS ALL DAY COMMENTING ON ME AND SHIT THAT DONT CONCERN U OR NEVER WILL CUZ NONE OF U WILL EVER BE ON MY LEVEL. I AM A RAP GOD. DRAKE IS A RAP GOD. ONE DAY WHEN IM DEAD AND GONE THEY GONNA PUT MY NAME NEXT TO MICHAEL JACKSON LIKE IM SUPPOSED TO CUZ U DUMMIES SURE DONT APPRECIATE ART WHEN ITS RIGHT IN FRONT OF U. WE SHOULDA NEVA EVA LET MICHAEL JORDAN PLAY FOR THE WIZARDSSSS. YEEZUS U SNAKE IN THE GRASS MFS, ITS ALL ABOUT YEEZUS IN 2014.
more blacks need to integrate with Jewish people if they want to change their media perception to build trust and wealth
lol, you stupid
FOR ME,DRAKE IS THE FAGG GOD AND KANYE THE CLOWN GOD…HAHAHAHA!!
fuck u piss of shit
Wow…. Is this a joke or something? FIRST Drake ain’t a Rapper, and calling him a Hip Hop artist is too much. If there was a category caled Swag i would put all the YMCMB artist in it (Not Hating just giving my thought, cuz i like drake’s music) And don’t gimmie BS saying ”Nothing was the Same” was the Album of the year cuz for me Eminem’s comeback amde more impact then Drake’s album, hell even Yeezus did more impact and it sucked when there’s only 2 or 3 songs good there. If there’s a Rap God is the one who invented who let this category grow up. Sucks that is getting treatd like shit and everyone is a ”rapper” now-a-days. Eminem is King. Now God come down on earth and choose a Rap God. Kanye stop tapping Kim’s butt and open your eyes, cuz u been on some weird shit lately.
drake doesn’t swag rap. tyga would be a good example for swag rap.
Amen.
Well thats his opinion, he likes drakes music. doesnt make it “a joke”. not everyone in the world likes eminems music and if someone was to read your comment and say eminems music sucks your probably gunna feel some type of way about it because your opinion on him is different (and most eminem stans are like that). Anyways my point is, stop being a goddamn hippocrit
Well i love Eminem won’t denie that. I’m said and i quote ”for me Eminem’s comeback had more impact than drake’s album” and so did Eminem’s Album. So it’s pointless calling Drake a Rap God. Not couse Em has a song selfclaming feeling like a rap god but a Rap god is top of Top and Drake is a New Artist for me a Carrer is at least 10 years+…… At least…
with that title and picture it is like a joke lol
drake is a rap queen
hi haters hate hate hate
these fuckin emasculated mainstream faggots dickride each other & give each other head. these fuckin cunt niggaz ain’t hip-hop in any shape, way or form. these are fuckin attention whore clowns with zero talent who record horseshit with zero substance in addition to their lack of credibility. anything these faggots release is easily surpassed by a burping sound.
You’re an idiot.
Actually, I agree with you. Mainstream rap sucks!
he is telling the truth!!!!!!!!
The hiphopdx pointless kanye story of the day…snore
Drake is the voice of the streets..nuff said
Yea the “Streets” are all about singing on 85% of their shit and being hella soft.
that is what the streets is about, what fucking streets are you from?
voice of dick street
nah, the streets definitely are bumping drake’s music. i hear lots of cars playing songs from nothing was the same and niggas playing started for the bottom and all me at the basketball court.

niggas call drake a pop star.. like so far gone was pop? 5am in toronto was pop? drake is pop when he shows up on every kids bob, and i don’t think his lyrics gonna make the disney channel cut. it sounds cute when y’all say it.. but it doesn’t make sense.. drake is no where near pop!!!!!!!!!
preach!!
drake is as pop as it gets, talkin bout love and women, foh
drake ===> disney kid
Lool funny you’re comparin’ Drake to Disney bt not Nas, why?! cz that’s the closest contrast u can find, so based on ur comment, DrakeDisney stars….
WHAT A JOKE. DRAKE IS THE WACKEST FAGGOT EVER
Y’all Drake haters kill me. Drake always keeps it real, consistently makes great music, is innovative and always reps the culture right, yet you hate on him.
^ co-sign my nig!
You’re both wrong, stans. Drake never keeps it real, he consistently makes shitty music, is not innovative, and has never repped the culture.
Shiiiiiiit drake is dope as fuck, but he still dont got miley cyrus verse on 23 though
“I dont know where they got that idea butI caught wind of it through the grapevine that theres some other album with two guys rapping on it.”
Where they got that idea? Was the Drake the first person to come up with the idea of two guys rapping on an album? Successful rappers have been collaborating on joint albums for a while now. Drake, you’re trying to appear edgy by coming out with this shit, but please don’t bother. Go and have a pout somewhere…
Ja Rule is THE rap god
Ja Rule is actually Drake’s Uncle, I just found that out recently, blew my mind
Drake is Ja Rule’s father.

P.S. MY DICKIES FROM WALMART GOT THAT PERMANENT STARCH- i Be BaLlIn!
you right bout #1 bro, she be dat plumpa
American men are pretty pitiful. This is also the most beta, blue pill nation of blind followers the world has ever known.
This is the land of wannabe thugs, government freeloaders, beta supplicators, pedestalizing chumps, complainers, victims and seekers of the easy way out.
Here in America, if a girl is eating a piece of cake men will use it as an opportunity to express their interest in her. We encourage women to remain fat by liking all of their facebook photos and overloading them with messages online. We encourage women to maintain their bad behavior by dishing out no punishment.
We have allowed women to walk all over us!!!!!!!!!!
What the fuck are you talking about?
yo my man you sport them Dickies too? You reppin down South, I wear the white carpenter “Dicks” year round. I love dicks man.
Let’s recognize a basic reality. When black men like Kanye sing about gold diggers, they really mean black women. However, they view black women through a different lens than they view white-appearing women, who get the benefit of a “halo effect.” Yet, the striking thing is that there has been countless evidence that white women are just as gold digging as these men imagine black women to be, but that doesn’t stop them from chasing after their kryptonite, the almighty white p-tang. As for Kim’s sluttiness, something tells me that Kanye would not have been interested in marrying a black woman who was as much as a slut.
Ok, I did a survey of black women and how they feel about the black man dating white women. Not all black men date white women it’s only the handful that you see on tv, and as you know what say about tv, it’s not reality. Black men that date white women dare them because the sisters don’t want them and they can only relate to white women. Let’s use kanye for example, see sisters know that it’s just something not right about this man, wearing women clothing, carrying purses, in competition with her on hair, make-up, in her closet trying to put on her skinny jeans. Now white women would think this is cute and not say nothing and later on down the line, get caught up or catch this man in bed with another man, but a sister is going to check that at the gate, and save herself the embarrassment and that possibility of catching something that can’t be cured. So, the sisters don’t care if the go astray. Look at the image of kayne, Lamar, Kobe, tiger woods, Charles Barkley, OJ, yeah, them white women!
That’s the gift from the white woman!
All this talk of if you’re white you’re like this and if you’re black you’re like that is bullshit, and y’all feed into. I’m a white dude, got a black gf, she isn’t doing it because she can’t find a black dude, and I’m not with her because I wan’t a black girl, we are together because we like each other. Y’all should grow up.
Since when did niggas commenting on a hip hop site get a degree in psychology and sociology? kill that whack ass noise white girls just tend to be more open minded, whereas us niggas hate to see another nigga do better or be different but white ppl can wear/dress/act how they want without gettn called gay or whatever.
Drake reminds me of those kids you grow up that are rich, or well off troublemakers. Like they’ll deal drugs, or get in trouble and show it off to look cool. They don’t deal because they need the money or get in trouble because they have a dysfunctional home life. They think they’re hard because they do these things. What they don’t realize is they’re not. Being hard comes from hardship and living day to day in a rough, and dangerous environment.
Drake can never truly be hard, but he has had brushes with it because he chose to surround himself with hard people. Around the time he blew up in 2008-2009, he was robbed at gun point in Toronto. He lost four stacks and chain he got from Lil’ Wayne. He said a female companion set him up.
People in the industry, whom I know, told me he was scared shit-less after that incident. They say he became paranoid after that time. Like a ho from Maury, all these people from the hood he thought he was cool with saw him as a meal ticket or an easy mark to extract resources from.
In my personal experiences from living in the hood, I’ve seen rich white boys and kids from good families get screwed over by charismatic thugs. One guy I know (Let’s call him Perry) managed to borrow 4 G’s for a car from a white guy with a $500,000 trust fund. Perry also convinced a Guyanese kid to spend thousands on a month-long cocaine bender, and put it on his AMEX.
When you’re successful like Drake, people will hate. Haters aren’t imaginary villains rappers create to bloat their egos. Haters are real people that resent Drake for now having his fame and fortune. Even people that come from the hood have the same problem. When Tracy Morgan got his first big check, he moved his family and parents out of their bronx apartment during the middle of the night into a gated community. So Drake does have a reason for having no new friends.
Some of the realest shit I’ve ever heard, well said.
I’m from Calgary, Canada and I ain’t even gonna front I’m a huge fan of Drake’s new album but ETK is speaking the cold hard truth here people. Props
This essay you wrote is probably a big ass lie but I still feel what you sayin
I don’t think I understand what you are saying. Anybody could get robbed at gun point and its not everyone that didn’t grow up in the ghetto is soft. I have never lived in the hood but I have friends there and I go check them there anytime I want. Nobody has dared stepped to me
to the one above me: You just dont know until u live there
How do u buy coke on a credit card? Whys u lyin…
^ you get the cash off the credit card
so that “lie” just turned into you don’t know about that life
story sounds suspect, but that type of person does exist
real talk
Blasphemy!!!
Drake would have to be an actual RAPPER to even qualify for such a title and since he is just a pop star same as miley cyrus or justin beiber he cannot hold the title of Rap God ever.
P.S. How is kanye allowed to bestow such a title when he couldnt be further himself everyone go do yourself a favor and watch his freestyle at the end of his interview with Sway and you’ll see how shitty kanye is.
Kanye west is a nut case and Drake, as well as himself are no where near “gods”! In the bible, they built gold calf and false idols out of gold bronze and other materials, just like the music industry built their images which is fake. That’s why they are idols. False! God is spirit and not mortal. Read your bible people and don’t be taken by this foolishness. Plus look at the way they act. Who wants to serve a god that acts a damn fool??? Yeah!
~God is not MOCKED, surely you shall reap what you sow! Galatians 6:8~ This is why Kanye can’t make it in the fashion world. God, yeesus will never be. It’s so sad that he don’t even know why, running around like a cry baby! Kanye, read ya bible, or do you have one? Now that’s the true question. Go sit down and spend some of that money that you’ve made. You can’t take it with you unless you have a age in your casket that only you know the code. But hey, man made so man can open it after you’re go so really, you can’t take it with you, yeesus. We laugh at nut cases like this.
keep on having a big mouth, GOD IS NOT MOCKED!!!!!
Drake’s song writing skills are unmatched in the game right now.
K Dot is nothing compared to Drake, so all you K Dot dick riders fall back.
Drake gave Kendrick shine on his album letting him spit a verse to get known.
Drake gave Kendrick a spot on his tour, Kendrick’s real first tour.
Drake jumped on Kendrick’s album and gave him his 2nd single that Kendrick used for radio play.
Kendrick still can’t get an arena tour, Kanye has his as an opening act. Kanye doesn’t even do any music with him, he much rather bring out Drake who has a more substantial catalog.
Fast facts,
Drake’s body of work bodies Kendrick.
More and better mixtapes.
More and better studio albums.
More and better hooks.
More and better features.
QED, T.O. running hiphop now.
You’re wrong about everything, bitch.
two lames dickriding each other nothing more
And a Typical Internet tough guy talking shit and hating again.
yea so what if I am hating but whoever said i was trying to be tough, i would say this to these guys in person because they are acting like bitches what is drake gonna do hit me with a pillow? LOL
LOL @ Come On, he wasn’t even being tough dumbass, he’s a toughie for ya –> Fuck your mother punk ass nigga. I hope that helps you see the difference.
Yes….
psh you aint shit ho. drake runs dis bitch, you just a punk. me and drizzy nutted on yo mama last night. canadian style. world peace can be achieved #therealest
How does Drake’s dick taste?
These two are so fucking gay for each other.
So, Kayne & Drake are dating now? I guess I’m cool with that, I liked it more when Drake & Manziel were together but Future ruined that. This is still a very powerful couple though, I wonder how they will work this with Kanye being married, the Kardashians are going to milk the shit out of this, good for Ye to finally come out though. Drake paved the way for homosexual artists & now Ye is taking the lead, good on both of them.
@ Justin watch how these Drake and Yeezy dick riders Jump down your throat what a bunch of fags
The only reason Mr. West is saying this is because of Eminem’s song. Remember watch the throne?
No, I don’t recall it
so Drake is finally excepted by the Illuminati hes been wearing that owl symbol all this time the owl in theIIlluminati symbolizes symbolizes wisdom similar to the all seeing eye
Real cool story pal, tell us more
A1: also it is the guardianship of the underworlds, and a protection of the dead.
The guy who mistakes “accepted” for “excepted” must know all there is to know that’s going on, right?
The owl(a nocturnal hunter) represents a being that can see amidst darkness(like the illuminated).
Even Yeezus knows dissing Drake is Sacriligious.
coming from the same guy that put out cheif keef
I wonder if they will make a sex tape together?
i bet you’d like that fuck boy. faggot ass bitch nigga. yo momma sucked me off. drake is the realest out there, and you fuckboys are lucky to be sharing the same chromosomes as him. FOH
These two dudes I’ve always felt were very suspect.
So called rappers nowadays just love sucking each other off.
ditto to that yo…
So damn. He goes from a wheel chair (acting) to a hip hop god (what is hip hop nowadays) and we should listen to what left over lover kanye says? He is so wack I just can’t believe it. Drake is party – kool but he will never be a god of nada, at least not to me.
Kanye talks highly of himself.
Dumb Niggas: He’s so selfish and think he the best, he nothin!
Kanye praises another artist.
Dumb Niggas: he such a dick rider, so gay!
There’s no pleasing you fuckin idiots. i’m gonna nut on all your moms

“i would say this to these guys in person because they are acting like bitches what is drake gonna do hit me with a pillow?”
It’s hilarious how you pretend tough guys assume Drake is soft. Cause he’s from Canada? Makes smoother music than most rappers? Isn’t afraid to tell the media how he feels? His music ain’t hurting nobody. Move on with the hate.
we assume hes soft because he raps about soft shit….”IIIMM CRYYYYING IN THE SHOOOOWER”…..
Remove Drake’s dick out your mouth and realize your boy’s soft.
black girls love the white cock, i just beat my cock against some black chicks face blew it in her eye and told her to scram, got another black chick beggin for it. black guys just cant compare to a good white cock
As the real rap God Casual would say
“I’m a disease holder and I still hit it
Bust a nut in her eye and made her deal with it”
Dmx is one of the smartest rappers you can ever see. He stands next to Immortal Techniques intelligence.
haha ummm no, i really dont think he does…love dmx’s music, but hes not exactly intelligent…on the other hand, tech is a fuckin wiz kid
theres only 2 rap gods in the world….Casual of the legendary Hieroglyphics Collective and Eminem….Casual has been a rap god since the mid 90’s…eminem has been a rap god since like August
Kanye inhales and refuses to put down the crack pipe..
