QUOTE OF THE DAY: Drake Speaks On Issues With Kanye West
We have been off and on with the whole ‘Quote of the Day’ thing, but if there’s a good one, I’ll post it. This one comes from Drake’s latest interview in XXL:
“It’s tough to get into a war of words with Kanye because he’s a huge reason why I’m here, why I’m confident enough to step to a mic and say, “Ok, I don’t have any murder or bricks or drugs to talk about, but I can tell you about myself, and if you’re willing to listen we can get into it.” Kanye was kind of the first guy to give me that boost of confidence. It’s tough to engage in any sort of confrontation with that guy. At the end of the day, I do look up to him. And if he feels the need to remind people that, so be it.”
ALBUM STREAM: Juicy J – Stay Trippy
If you head over to Juicy J’s website, you can now hear a full stream of his upcoming album Stay Trippy, which I’m sure the Koosta is doing right now as he reads this. There is also some kind of interactive stripper game at play, but I’m way to zooted to understand how to play it at this time (just check it out for yourself).
You can check out the artwork and tracklisting here. Stay Trippy drops August 27th. (preorder on iTunes).
