(Isn't it always?) And he's right: His greatest hits will be unforgettable. He quips that most rappers with a deal “probably couldn't make a greatest hits,” but it's really about himself. Perhaps he's just trying to catch a view of his legacy, to see where it might be headed.ĭrake's not even 30-although by his math he's only got until 35 until he becomes irrelevant-but he's already, by the chart numbers, among the most successful rappers of all time, on the verge of being even more successful than that, within the echelon of single-named pop deities and the Beatles. Maybe he's sizing up the line at the Cheesecake Factory, where sales of late are no doubt through the roof. Perhaps he's scoping out the next C-list Toronto rapper to decide to carry out a grudge against, or maybe it's, like, a chance to set a target on the back of a club owner who didn't let him play there once in 2008. Look at Drake up there, perched on the CN Tower, looking out at something.
