Video: Drake Covers GQ Magazine

Drake looked dapper on the cover of GQ’s first-ever Style Bible issue. The Toronto rapper let GQ into his home, where he set the own mood for his interview, sitting by the pool with a cold bottle of white wine, and even inviting the interviewer to go down his water slide. But pool and water sliding aside, Drake did speak on some important aspects of his life, beginning with his relationship with his father who left him at the age of 5.

"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,” Drake says, getting visibly upset, “But I spent too many nights looking by the window, seeing if the car was going to pull up. And the car never came.”

Drake also discussed how he thinks the rap industry has changed. "Rap now is just being young and fly and having your s--- together," he says, while trying to explain the new generation of rappers he believes himself to a part of, “The mood of rap has changed." Drake believes this new generation of rappers is no longer defined by street credibility like they once were.
