From complaints about his singing to his sweaters, Drake hears it all when it comes to hate.

But Toronto and October's very own gets more than his fair share of love in America and in his own city where the interview with Complex magazine takes place.

The photo shoot was shut down by Drizzy so that he could have the guys he believes in, Hyghly Alleyne & Lamar Taylor who did videos for "Headlines" and "Marvin's Room" take over.

The in-depth interview sheds light on Drake's meaning behind "catching a body," his fear of dying before accomplishing goals, his "experience shower" he's having installed and the quiet cold war between Kanye and Jay-Z.

“Rapping is about being young and doing your thing and being fly. I'm sure people took it that way and that's good, man. That's great.

Making each other go harder, that's what this $**t is about.”

As we reported earlier, Jay-Z and Kanye has launched a new site to accompany their upcoming Watch The Throne tour.

Here's a clip from the newly launched Voyr.com featuring Kanye West as he lays down vocals for "Otis" off the Watch The Throne album.

The Watch The Throne tour starts this Friday in Atlanta, GA.

Aziz Ansari admits he may be a little bored sometimes and as a result of that he's making his own comics surrounding lyrics from Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne.

The comedian got a small cameo in the "Otis" video and Kanye West frequently pops up as a subject in his stand-up acts so it's only right that he is bringing Ye and Jay's punchlines to life. Hit the numbers to see the pics.

No more "Otis" freestyles after this. Please. It's over.

In it we see The Throne cut the top off a Maybach and take a group of models on a wild ride.

Directed by Spike Jonze, the video doesn't come without a message, the featured vehicle will be put up for auction with proceeds donated towards the drought in Somalia.

Jay-Z and Kanye's "Watch The Throne" tour kicks off Saturday, October 29 in Atlanta.

In one of the first interviews DMX has had since his release from prison last month, Dark Man X sat down with ABC15 and talked candidly about his drug addiction, animal cruelty charges and his legacy as a rap artist.

ABC15 reported:

"I'm not the person the media portrays me to be," he told ABC15 in an exclusive interview.

In the hip hop world, DMX is an influential rap artist and one of the best-selling rappers of all time.

"There will never be another me, never," smiled DMX. "To this date I have records that have yet to be broken."

Also, X recently hooked up with Busta Rhymes to remix Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Otis."

For those that still aren't in the know concerning Jay-Z and Kanye West's new single "Otis," the song is named after and samples legendary soul singer Otis Redding.

In a recent interview with Billboard, Karla Redding-Andrews, the daughter of the late great singer, talked about the background story surrounding "Otis."

"We first heard about the song in early July, end of June," Redding-Andrews said.

"Concord Music Group has the masters and Bill Belmont and Michele Smith from Concord brought it to us.

"There was a back and forth about whether the name of the song would be "Otis" or "Otis Redding."

And we just wanted to make sure lyrics and references in the song worked with the legacy of my father.

"To have two current, legendary" artists use the legendary music of Otis Redding-we were quite honored."

Karla Redding-Andrews also talked about clearing the Otis Redding sample produced by Kanye, who also sampled Redding for "Gone" from Late Registration album.

"It always amounts to respect to Otis," she said.

"It always depends on how it's used and what the artist has going on at the time. All of that goes into play.

"It all went through the record companies," Karla said when asked if she met personal with Jay-Z and Kanye about the sample.

"That's the nature of the business and it's probably better that way.

"[If we met with them], we would probably bring more personal considerations into it.

"But this is a wonderful opportunity.

"We really like the song and the swagger elements that are in the song. It speaks to the star that Otis was in his day."

Jay-Z and Kanye's Watch The Throne album is scheduled to be released digitally on August 8th, and in stores on August 12th.
