In a few short years, Drake has gone from being hip-hop's underdog story to possibly the biggest name in the genre. Being at that height led him to the main stage at Coachella where he headlined this past weekend on Sunday night and will do so again this Sunday night. Complex profiled Drake during the week leading up to the festival and during it and beyond taking the reader inside the mind, home and inner circle of Drake — it also revealed a few details of his upcoming work. The "Madonna" rapper only has two tracks he really likes for his upcoming album Views From The 6 and one of them is a collaboration with Beyoncé.
According to the piece, Drake has a surprise for weekend two that may even top Madonna this past weekend and will appeal to a wider audience. It could be the premiere of his track with Beyoncé, or a live collab with someone like Kanye West or Big Sean.
Many critics thought the Toronto rapper underwhelmed or didn't take advantage of the moment at Coachella this past weekend with the whole world watching. Now that he is on top of the game and no longer gunning for those above him, the pressure is on to prove he can stay there.
His latest mixtape, If You're Reading This It's Too Late, broke all sorts of records. He set records for most songs placed in the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart, with 21 in the top 50, he broke Spotify streaming records and tied the Beatles for the most tracks at once in the Hot 100 charts.
One would think he has little to prove for the rest of the year, but the hate continues to grow for Drake.
