Post Drake Explains His Balance Between Rapping, Singing

Drake Explains His Balance Between Rapping, Singing

It allows people a break from just constant rapping, rapping, rapping,' he says of crooning on his tracks.

While Drake works on his debut LP, Thank Me Later, the Toronto MC said there is no method to any of his madness. If he gets inspired to spit rhymes on a track, he'll get to it. If he wants to croon to a beat, that's what it will be.

"The balance of singing and rapping has been blurred ever since I did So Far Gone," he said of his breakthrough mixtape. "I mean, I don't really have a formula for that. I don't say, like, 'OK, I can only sing this hook or I want to rap this.' I just really hear a beat, and it's like, 'If I can write to it on a hip-hop level, if I can pen some raps to it, then that will work.' And then maybe after I do that, I'll get in the booth and sing a little part of the verse.

"I like to do that," he continued. "I like to incorporate singing into my verses. And then I feel like it allows people a break from just constant rapping, rapping, rapping, you know? I think it's great to incorporate melodies into the songs that I write. And yeah, my goal is just really to make a song that after I listen to it, I'll just be like, 'Man, people are going to know the words to that.' That's the best thing. I think I'm doing it right, 'cause when I go to the shows, people know the words to the songs, and that's good."

Drake has the video for "Best I Ever Had" out right now and says he'll probably be appearing in front of the cameras for more clips soon.

"There's talk to do a 'Successful' video," Drake said. "Also, you know, I'm shooting the video to 'Digital Girl' with Jamie Foxx and Kanye West and The-Dream. And then there is another song that we have that we might shoot a video for, for the album. So as far as videos go, there is some more potential chances to see [me]."

actually he's right..i even liked the singing shit on so far gone....best part he came in doing both so its not a surprise..which is why i think it works when it comes to drake..i just listened to so far gone 2 days ago and it was dope....i actually like drake now... the calm joint on that mixtape was dope....so was Houstatlantavegas which could easily be a single for the fuck of it...

if he didna have the lil wayne flow, and found a batter way to switch between rapping and singing during a rap verse, he'd be amazing, but as of now, he doesn't have the formula right.
