Drake may not be topping any Celeb Best Dressed lists, but in the GQ April 2012 edition the 25-year-old proved he’s got style. The Young Money rapper is neatly-pressed, clean-cut, and shall we say well put together in GQ’s first-ever Style Bible.
In the issue, Drake romances writer Claire Hoffman as if they’re on the perfect first date; despite her tape recorder and note pad full of questions {after all, this is an interview}, the smooth operator woo’s her in typical Drake fashion. Starting with a movie, Sixteen Candles, and wine spritzers {his favorite drink}—and abruptly coming to an end in the master bedroom of his Hollywood mansion. Leaving the artist awaiting an answer from the journalist to his 1 question {after she picked his brain with several}: "We had wine and dinner by the pool, I brought you inside, I brought the projector down; are you or are you not sleeping with me?"
Drake talked about his dad:
"Me and my dad are friends. We're cool. I'll never be disappointed again, because I don't expect anything anymore from him. I just let him exist, and that's how we get along. We laugh. We have drinks together. But I spent too many nights looking by the window, seeing if the car was going to pull up. And the car never came."
His take on rap after launching his career on MySpace 4 years ago:
"Rap now is just being young and fly and having your s#*t together. The mood of rap has changed. So has the way you get huge as a rapper.”
What influences him to write his lyrics:
"I'm trying to find the same feelings that I had for women when I had very little going on, which is tough. When I was in my mom's house, I had nowhere to go, no real obligations. My girlfriend at the time, if she was mad at me, my day was all f#*^ed-up. I didn't have anything else. And that made for some of the best music, I think, to date. Records where I felt small. That feeling is hard to capture when you're sitting out here in a space like this…It's really difficult for me to find something that makes me feel small."
His “new found belief on monogamy”:
"There's just a time where it was like, just getting pussy. Where I was in that sort of 'I'm young, I'm going to disconnect from my emotions and just do what everyone else tells me I should do and just be a rapper and have my fun.' And for me as a person, it just doesn't work. I just need something else. The seconds after a man reaches climax, that's like the realest moment of your life. If I don't want you next to me in that fifteen, twenty seconds, then there's something wrong."
