Complex just put up this interview on Coach Wheelchair Jimmy, where he speaks on the BET Awards performance, working with Kanye on the video, the nature of his deal, remembers MJ and kinda shits on WorldStarFlipFlop some bullshit site I haven’t visited in months…
Complex: Damn, that’s horrible. At the BET Awards this past Sunday, everyone was shocked to see you sitting on a stool. Did you ever think to yourself, “Maybe I shouldn’t perform?”
Drake: That, actually—to be honest—was a terrible idea that I’ll never do to myself again. [Laughs] But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes. I don’t think it called for us to perform “Every Girl” and “Always Strapped,” and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-in-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne’s daughters and her friends coming out on stage…

i think i’ve only been to their site once && it had some fucked up ass vids with kids grindin and shit? havent been there since ..
but like always, drake handles himself well in the interview. good shit
See everyone jumps on this kid () when he fucks up (and he DID FUCK UP let’s be clear lol) but the humility he has to admit it was bad and just move on.
I like Drake’s music and I can’t lie that performance was embarrassing to let Birdman, Lil’ Wayne and the rest of ‘em bumbrush his shot on national tv!
I’m sure he learned from it. Most artist are to arrogant and narcissistic to admit their flaws and putting a better foot (no pun intended. Fuck it pun intended lmao) forward!!
We hold standards too high for drake. I mean just wait for the music.. Thank Me Later coming soon. Cool interview by the way.
damn drake did say he does go they everyday
whats ur deal with worldstar cause they got more hits than yall
great to see an artist admit his mistakes.
now we can all move on?
Nobody mention the “Best I Ever Had” Video…..shit was good for a first video.
“slip up and shoot the wrong fucking videoa dn they think they can amrket you however they decide too’
This gives off a bad impression of Drake to his female fans,females on twitter is blowing his ass up for that best i ever had shit
ITS JUST A FUCKING VIDEO people need to get over themselves they act like drake is god that nigga can make any fucking video he wants fuck them

Wow this is funny because if you check the post for Drake’s BET Awards performance here on 2DopeBoyz the next day there was over 100 comments about Drake’s fuck up and my comment here is only 10th comment or so.
Now you tell me that people aren’t just judging him and not judging the music. I hate the cliche word “hate” but it definitely ain’t love.
@ 2 cents
you’re honestly saying that best i ever had was good?
that shit was HORRIBLE
