DRAKE GETS PERSONAL WITH COMPLEX MAGAZINE

Aubrey "DRAKE" Graham talks to Complex about the regular, life after Degrassi, family, being half Jewish, getting put on by Lil' Wayne & there music chemistry, his talent for writing R&B music, his friendship with Kid Cudi, and his whack video directed by Kanye West. Despite all those topics the interview gets deep when he talks about his inspiration for most of his songs on So Far Gone- his Ex girlfriend.
HERE'S A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS STRAIGHT FROM THE COMPLEX INTERVIEW:

Drake: The relationship I was in before So Far Gone influenced a lot of lyrics. A lot, a lot of the lyrics. The first five records on the mixtape are sort of like a timeline of that relationship, you know?


Anyone well-known?

Drake: You wouldn’t know her. She’s great; I was able to walk away with moments, which I guess is better than walking away with nothing. But ultimately, I’m still trying to figure it out. I come up with the answers, about myself and my own thought process when it comes to love, as I’m writing. That’s when my realest thoughts manage to make their way out.

So we’re going to hear that on Thank Me Later?

Drake: This album is me trying to catch my footing again because everything’s changed. It’s a beautiful thing, ’cause I’ve just been waving, like, “Hold on, stop.” Part of being able to make a new album is taking things day to day, being observant, being able to write about the shit that’s going on.
