In a recent interview Drake declares himself the first rapper to successfully incorparate rapping and singing.
Interesting observation, Drake. Ever heard of guy called Ja Rule...?
Drake tells the The Jewish Chronicle
"There were people who incorporated melody before me, but I would deem myself the first person to successfully rap and sing."
"Yes, there are aspects of it that are new in the rap world. But it's not a gimmick. I just sort of exist and people embrace it. I'm one of the few artists who gets to be himself every day. It doesn't take me six hours to get ready and I don't have to wake up in the morning and remember to act like this or talk like this. I just have to be me. That's one of the favourite parts of my life - I've done this purely by being myself."
