It's just the #InMyFeelings challenge.
It's such a meme now to me.

like, that just shows roots.

Good job, Drake.

- I used to think he was just this really dorky kid
from Canada who was trying really hard to act tough,
and I just felt like he had no street cred,
but he's a really good rapper.
- I just feel like I can't really relate to him.
I want to be like, yeah, your lyrics move me,
but they don't really move me as much as other rappers.
- (FBE) Okay, last one. - Please let it be the Degrassi one.
Yes! (laughing) [Bleep] love Degrassi.
- Is he gonna hop in the wheelchair?
- I remember when he first started rapping,
my daughter's like, "Hey, that's the guy from Degrassi."

- Snake! Oh, my god, Ellie.
I'm gonna just start going through the whole crew.
This is fantastic.

I feel them putting the whole cast in there, of Degrassi.

I just kind of feel like the song and the video don't match up.
- ♪ Thankful for the women... ♪
- I want to be part of this crew so bad.
- So that's just so good.
- That's cool right there.
He got people from Degrassi in there.
- Even when I thought back to Drake's start from the bottom and everything,
the bottom, to me, was the Degrassi whole series and everything,
so it was kind of cute that he was referencing that.
- (FBE) Those were all music videos for singles off of Drake's
newest album, Scorpion.
Which of the three did you enjoy watching the most?
- The second one with the crazy bass.
- "Nonstop." That beat is hard.
- The Degrassi reunion one.
That's honestly really impressive that he was able to get
everyone back together.
- "Nonstop." Yeah, that [bleep]'s my kind of style of his tunes.
- The part before you played any of them.
Just silence.
I understand a lot of people like that stuff.
I don't.
- (FBE) So the album Scorpion is divided into two different sides
with 25 tracks total. - Oh, wow. Okay.
- (FBE) The album has racked up 1.8 billion streams in the U.S. alone.
- Wow, people love Drake.
- (FBE) Drake is the first artist to trend the Billboard Hot 100 Charts
for eight uninterrupted years and has charted a whole 25 songs
off of Scorpion on the Hot 100 Chart, breaking his own record
for the most simultaneous hits on the chart,
bringing his career to 154 chart entries.
- Damn, he's living the life right now.
- (FBE) So after hearing all of this, do you think Drake
is gonna be viewed as the artist of this generation?
- Absolutely, I already think he is THE artist.
- I would totally say Drake, but I'm also afraid
Kanye would disagree.
- I wouldn't think I would say artist of the generation.
I definitely think Drake is up there, though.
I would even credit him almost to the "sad boy" movement.
- People will look back at his quality of music.
I don't think so.
I think they'll look at people like Childish Gambino,
people that are putting out good messages.
- (FBE) Well, when Drake first burst into the rap scene,
he was met with some criticism for being too soft
due to singing about his emotions over love and heartbreak
instead of rapping about things that felt more traditionally related
to hip-hop culture. - Okay.
He has a niche and he caters to that niche
and that's why people like him.
- (FBE) So do you think Drake has been in some way
responsible for a cultural shift in which lyrics about feelings
and emotions is more accepted within mainstream rap?
- I wouldn't be surprised at all.
I think, I mean, someone has to do it, right,
and the fact that he got criticism and continued to do it,
that definitely shows a lot of young men especially
that it's okay to talk about your feelings.
- Absolutely, because rap was kinda hardcore
and very battleground.
I like that Drake talked about his feelings and stuff,
even though people called him soft.
- Absolutely, even-- especially in music.
Even in people's personal lives, a lot of-- I feel like
there's this whole stigma with men where it's almost you
can't have these certain feelings.
But Drake instead was like, "[Bleep] that.
That's exactly what's driving my music right now,
so that's what I'm gonna talk about in my rap."
- I don't think that's a thing at all.
Rock evolves, hip-hop evolves, and I just think we're in that state
right now of hip-hop, I guess, of that subgenre of emotions.
- (FBE) Since Drake's debut, he's been a part of a handful of memes
and trends, including the Wheelchair Jimmy memes,
the Hotline Bling memes, and then the #InMyFeelings challenge.
- I've seen some memes, but I'm not really on the lookout
for Drake memes because he's not super relevant to me.
- They almost kind of poke fun at him.
It still hasn't really hindered his success.
If anything, it's made him so much more popular.
- (FBE) Do you think all these memes and trends
distract from the fact that he's so accomplished
and has broken so many records over the last several years,
or does it add to his appeal? - No, that only helps.
It's just what happens when you get popular.
If I became a meme like that, that means you made it.
- I think it adds to it, but his music is bigger than the memes.
- It just adds to his appeal.
The guy Shiggy did a challenge with it and he put Shiggy on.
That got everybody doing the challenge.
- You have to have a certain amount of notoriety
for memes to be made of you.
I think, obviously, memes are a little bit derogatory,
or they're making fun of you, but you have to have that acclaim
for people to want to make fun of you.
- It adds to it because, I mean, you can even see it
when he does stuff like SNL.
It makes him more popular, knowing that he
can laugh at himself a little bit.
- (FBE) So, finally, do you think Drake is at his pinnacle at the moment
or do you think that he's only gonna get
bigger and bigger from here?
- Well, I thought he had already reached his pinnacle
with Hotline Bling, but the fact that
he's picking back up again, maybe he'll get bigger.
- He's only gonna get bigger from here.
You know men, as they age, they get finer.
They could do all kinds of different stuff, you know,
so he ain't just one trick little pony.
Five, ten years, I think he's still gonna be hot.
- He'll get bigger.
I mean, I don't see it slowing down.
It's only picking up speed.
I wish this was his pinnacle, just for my ears only.
- It's his pinnacle right now and I think he's maybe
at his plateau.
New artists are gonna come and take over the music industry,
specifically for rap.
- He's gonna go into a decline afterwards because,
you know, when you achieve success of this amount,
you're probably not gonna enjoy it for the next couple years.
This whole Scorpion album, it's pretty big.
It's so good.
I honestly don't know how he's gonna come back from it.
