In a new interview with The Jewish Chronicle (should have known this one would be trouble), Aubrey Graham says that no one has done what he's done before:
"There were people who incorporated melody before me," says Drake, talking backstage at the 02 in south-east London, where 18,000 people have converged to see him play the biggest concert of his career, "but I would deem myself the first person to successfully rap and sing."
Drake goes on to talk about never using any gimmicks...riiiight:
He considers the question of his persona and agrees that: "Yes, there are aspects of it that are new in the rap world. But it's not a gimmick. I just sort of exist and people embrace it. I'm one of the few artists who gets to be himself every day. It doesn't take me six hours to get ready and I don't have to wake up in the morning and remember to act like this or talk like this. I just have to be me. That's one of the favourite parts of my life - I've done this purely by being myself."
