He plays his part. Simple as that.
Name another rap artist outside of (Jay, Em, TIP) who have sold a million records.

Young Money CEO, Cortez Bryant Talks Wayne Vs Drake + Drizzy's 5th Single

During the countdown to D-Day aka Drake's June 9 release date for Thank Me Later, everyone had an answer to the jackpot question âwould Drizzy sell a millie his first week?
Although a critically-acclaimed debut effort, survey said no. But Young Money CEO, Cortez Bryantâgreatly responsible for molding Lil Wayne into a mega rapper-eating starâ knows exactly what his winning artist was missing to reach Weezy numbers. "The first week was great but [Drake] still need that big smash pop hit like we had with Wayneâs 'Lollipop.'" he says. "Wayne got his million because he had that urban side and he crossed over to that pop demographic. I believe Drake wouldâve got those million sales if we wouldâve had that pop record."
So if "Over" was an appetite soother, "Find Your Love" an emo stunna and "Miss Me" a hip-hop head's favorite, where does that leave Drake's 4th upcoming single "Fancy?" 'I donât think 'Fancy' is that pop record either," reveals Cortez. "Itâll go so far, but when we drop 'Show Me A Good Time' in Septemberâ that has the potential to be that big record."
As far as Drake's success beyond music for, Cortez hopes his Toronoto front runner can multiply his triumphs through film opps. "We wanna start entertaining these movie offers. Drake is looking to come out with the role no one else expects. Heâs not gonna be the teen heartthrob or the college kid. He wants roles where he can show his acting skills. Like a sci-fi or action picture."
Producer 40 Talks Biting Kanye & The Only 2 Artists Drake Says He Can Work With

To paraphrase Jay-Z, Noah "40" Shebib's workflow is foolish. Drake's silent right hand man in the studio (and life), 40 has built up a resume of hits for Drizzy utilizing a melancholy, synth-heavy sound. From the bulk of So Far Gone to future hits like "Fireworks" and "Unforgettable," 40 is the quad-core Pentium chip in the Drake machine. VIBE sat down with the Toronto native to talk Kanye bites, the only two other people he would produce for, and Drake's spoiled $%@.âJerry L. Barrow
Youâve got a pretty simple, but interesting name. Whatâs the story behind it?
The first major label project I did in Canada was for this artist named Jelly Stone. He was a super gangster rapper up here and those guys didnât really use government names so I gotta nickname pretty quick. Those guys used to knock out in the studio, wake up at 10 a.m. and [see me] still be working. Theyâd say âYour work never stops. You work for 40 days and 40 nights.â

In my opinion, Drake is one of the most overrated rappers in the industry
