8 Things We Learned About Drake and 40 In Their Hour Long Nardwuar Inteview - Page 7
Drake doesn’t do many interviews, so when he does choose to talk, the interviewers have to make it count.
Zane Lowe talked to Drake for almost an hour the night that Views dropped. But one week later fellow Canadian Nardwuar has upped the ante and talked to both Drake and 40 for over an hour.
You should already know by now about how Nardwuar gets down. He hits his guests with questions and information that only the FBI should know.
Here are eight more things we learned about Drake and 40 in their hour-long interview with “The Human Serviette.”
1.) 40 Was, Is And Will Always Be A Common Fan

Remember when Common and Drake had a brief back and forth on wax, with Common revealing that his angry track “Sweet” was aimed at one Aubrey Graham? Well, 40 offered his two cents inferring that at one time Common was guilty of making the same type of “soft” music he was giving Drake hell for. However, in this interview 40 says that he will always be a Common fan. The look on Drake’s face when he says this telling. He even goes on to joke about one of Common’s albums being called “Chocolate Starfish.” C’mon now, we all know it was called Like Water For Chocolate.

2.) Drake Found Out Where The “Hotline Bling” Sample Came From After The Fact
When Drake hopped on the beat for his massive hit “Hotline Bling” he didn’t know where the sample came from. But he did learn that it came from a fellow Canadian named Timmy Thomas’ 1973 hit “Why Can’t We Live Together.” Nardwuar tracked Thomas down and he thanked Drake for the love.

4.) Drake Almost Got Arrested In Jamaica For Using Profanity During One Of His Shows
On a date not specified, Drake says that he was nearly arrested during one of his first shows in Jamaica. The offense? Cursing. Apparently, Jamrock has strict rules about using profanity on stage. Excited to be performing there for the first time, Drake let a few bombs fly out of his mouth and authorities were ready to seize him. Luckily, OGs like Beenie Man and Mavado were there to ease the tension.

5.) Drake Was In The Studio With Dr. Dre Long Before He Worked With Lil Wayne
Um what? Before he got down with Young Money, apparently Drake was given an opportunity to work with Dr. Dre. He and 40 were in the studio with Dre for something Drake refers to as a “Record One Troops” project. None of the recordings saw the light of day and probably never will.
