Drake Talks About Sade Turning Him Down For Thank Me Later Album - HIPHOPNEWS24-7.COM

[tctebsrules]

What makes him think that he's worthy of such class? What an idiot. He might have the everyday radio listener convinced that he's legit, but he's not.

[GLAMgurL3000]

Drake is not worthy. She did a song with Jay-z but he is a true artist.

[NiVeA5678]

good im glad she turned him down. her music is respectable and classy amongst her millions of fans. drake is on the total opposite scale. they are like oil and water dont mix at all. he sounds so sad that she turned him down but oh well she knows what she is doing and wont sell her soul for no one.

[arsenalmanz]

people dont realise drakes music is different to the typical YMCMB music.............

[DJRAKKK]

Get to her level..shell think about it.

[stashcrack]

lekker voor je. kutdrake.

[90tlcaaliyah]

@wbooker10 He can't sing your hearing Autotune :/

[90tlcaaliyah]

Omg he compares him self to Sade and Aaliyah when his music is crap and he can't sing!  He can never even come close!

[grandcreator11]

Sade is my BABY! :-)

[SonnyOrion]

Ah! Another reason not to listen to drakes music.what a douche.

[k7twenty2]

drake is a jackass

[surriel1]

She did one with Jayz and im surprised by that. I thought Jayz and all his mysoginist chanting songs would have been beneath sade.

[MrsPurpleHaze83]

Nigga Plz!!! LOL

[1mhatimy]

@Applebaum Couldn't agree more

[Neverendingplush]

i swear u guys act like this changes anything that has to do with your lives.

[Applebaum]

I don't think this will happen. thank god

[rankingtrevor]

This guy is a faggot. Sade has more talent in her little finger than this excuse of a rapper. Hip Hop died a long time ago I'm afraid.

[XrayBaby007]

Sade is not a brand!!! you idiot. She is a human being! So are you but your too dumb to know that. *smh*

[shawoody]

The reason why she turned his ass down is because he's an idiot. Sade, a BRAND? Get the fuck outta here. Sade is an artist. This guy is a gimmick.

[wbooker10]

FUCK ALL HATERS Drake and Sade is the same both have White mothers and Black fathers. There music is kind of the same too in the way it makes you feel when you listen to it. Who ever say Drake music is bad is a fool or they never listen to a drake song and they are just talking out there ASS!!!!!!!!!!. and thats why his albums are selling so well.

[HarrisburgBoomBap]

@wbooker10  number of albums sold doesn't equal good music or skill...just popularity among the sheep.

[wbooker10]

@HarrisburgBoomBap To people like you every-one is a sheep just because they don't like the same music as you. You are the all knowing and all seeing of good music and if you don't like the music its bad music. Funny, if i am a sheep what is you.)

[LuV4RoBnFaB]

@wbooker10 What the hell does them being biracial have to do with their music?!! Fuck all these CRAPPERS talking about the same old tired shit! Hip hop has gone to hell! You must be STUPID if you think Drake and Sade's music is anywhere close. Does Sade use vulgar language in her lyrics? NO! Drake is doing well cause negativity sells! You are a FOOL!

[missjanet88]

why thee FUK would sade wanna do a song with drake's untalented ass? I mean so he can whine and sing random tunes through the entire song. She didn't downgrade like other old skool artists doing songs with drake, and now he's bitter and wants to insult her??? drake,you and your wack ass music can kiss sade's and all her fans' ass.

[DreiSkins101]

DRAKE LOST HIS FUCKING MIND! WHY THE FUCK WOULD SADE WORK WITH HIM AND WHAT DO HE MEAN THEY KINDA DO THE SAME MUSIC? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! YOU KIDDING ME OR WHUT!!!

[zitzblitz123]

i love sade and im glad she turned him down i hope it stays that way:)

[Camuyhatillo]

Sade is an artist......not a "brand". This guy is a tyro needs to work on his vocabulary

[iDiggMGL]

@Camuyhatillo Sade is in business, yes? Well, then she IS a brand, just like Drake. What you're saying is that nobody can be labeled if they don't want to be labeled. I'm sorry, but business doesn't work that way.

[gilliantaylorr7854]

Sade , That would have been amazing if they went together

[4thletta]

WOW! Reading some of these comments & i have to say.....You fucks really need to get off your High Horse! Yes Sade is a Legend but a majority of put her in a category like shes some type of god or something.Borderline Idol Worship...SMH! She is Truly in a League of her Own but you dont have to Badmouth every person that wants to do a Song with her like their the Scum of the Earth....Its just Music....Relax.

[spideyy3]

he likes how she doesn't do a lot of harmony? WHAT? Sade is one of the QUEENS of harmony. Yes she doesn't double her voice SO MUCH but she does it A LOT, and her harmony is always soothing and smooth and dreamy and amazing, She does A LOT of harmony. Drake is from this cocky, commercial, corny generation and doesn't know much about music.

[iDiggMGL]

@spideyy3 There wasn't enough contradiction in your comment, bro. YOU don't know much about music because you've cornered yourself into thinking new artists are bad. In reality, you reach closer to a musical recluse.

[kray97]

@iDiggMGL Thinking new artists are bad isn't really hard bro. All you have to do is try listening to them. I know I have to sometimes try....went to my daughter's talent show at school and sat through two hours of every other kid playing the same two songs by Bieber, Gaga and Taylor Swift. And this guy Drake, I've heard his stuff...it fucking sucks.

[iDiggMGL]

@kray97 You don't realize that music is always changing. It's never remained the same because people don't want to listen to the same old thing, like Sade. She's great, but her generation has come and gone, unlike Madonna, who adapts. You clearly haven't heard all of his stuff. You should gain some perspective. It would benefit you dearly.

[babyblu2010]

I understand that Drake may have been a little premature on his request to Sade but I also believe that under the creative direction of Sade they could have made somthing great together. To all of the people criticizing Drake for compraring his music to Sade, you obviously dont listen to his music -therfore your opinion isnt relevant Drake puts out some great hits and he definately has potential just not right now.I <3 Sade and I stand by her decision but dont bash Drake for even considering her

[DWaq32]

She has way too much class for you, boy. Just keep making videos with Rihanna, who IS a brand.

[me18mikel]

I think drake and her really should, hopefully she'll come around

[SexualPhelps69]

For all of you pissing and moaning talking about Sade missed out, trust me she ain't missing out on anything. She was legend status a decade before this cat was on tv in a wheelchair. Ya'll really think she's regretting it? Funny.

[ellesig852]

That's Her Loss... She Missed Out. Luv U Drake!

[dready187]

@ellesig852 do u know who sade is???

[yellajacket28]

I bet half of yall old heads ever heard a song by drake... he is the truth

[DWaq32]

@yellajacket28 That "Best I Ever Had" piece of shit was enough.

[iDiggMGL]

@DWaq32 You realize it's a story, right? For shit's sake did you watch the interview? Does he sound like anything that song said? He's telling an exaggerated story...

[grandmixerezd]

I WAS MAD WHEN JAY Z MADE THAT SONG WITH HER IT JUST DON T GO WITH A CLASSY LADY LIKE SADE LIKE CHEAP BEER WITH A EXPENSIVE MEAL IT DONT MIX

[grandmixerezd]

ITS CALLED CLASS SADE HAS IT :)

[nissan300zxkid]

OH MAN I HOPE SHE DOESNT DO THAT.

[heroheroic]

I respect him. The man is trying to position himself and make his name last.

[illmaticice1989]

SHE DOES KNOW YOUR GENRE.......your genre just not how it suppose to be anymore!!.....DUMB ASS LIL BOY!!!!

[takeme2mars]

Boy boo..

[Dreyfus03]

sade is too soulful for drake and i dont think she approves of the lyrics and the things drake rap about so im happy she decided to not to work with him and lower herself for his 15 year old lyrics and raps about money and sex.

[dwskyline4]

that's why Sade let Drakes producer sample " let me be your friend " .. they obviously recognize talent, All you haters need to kick rocks, DRAKES THE MAN !!

[audi5thousand]

@dwskyline4 Sade was being nice and had pity.

[ferroaida23]

You even pronounced her name wrong!!! stoopid >.<!

[oslye]

Drake you're amazing but she maybe felt as though you two wouldn't work well together lol.

[wparch]

Drake is wack?... a lot of your favorite rappers don't have consistency because they are too busy keeping it real.. 

[michaeldblack]

Drake is garbage. Anyone who is asked what they think of an ARTIST like Sade, who is a LEGEND, and says they are "one of the strongest brands out now..." is so dumb..

Seriously, who will listen to anything Drake's done with music 20 years from now (let alone 5) like we do with Sade's music.

[mistynightblues]

@michaeldblack

It bothered me too, hearing him refer to Sade as "one of the strongest BRANDS out there". It sounded to me as though he lacks the ability to show respect.

[jocquez1]

@smn2034ify but I'll search Hi and Low for this vid so I can show you EXACTLY what I mean..

[jocquez1]

@smn2034ify I followed Aaliyah for most of her career, and I've seen numerous interviews in which she stated her musical influences... Sade was one of them, and if I can recall, what he says about Sade is the exact thing that she said about her, only she actually ment it... I mean as I said, I think its cool that he's inspired by her(Aaliyah), but he doesn't have to take everything the girl called her own... i mean being "Inspired" is one thing, totally STEALING her Identity is another...

[TheRealNickMarino]

Free Spirit

[character4thought]

could you blame her??? lmao

[miamivicepastels83]

sade doesn't work with many ppl. she really "keeps to herself" and doesn't just do a duet with anyone just for money like some people that will remain nameless. she keeps her art as art...not just a money making thing

[jocquez1]

YOU FUCKIN GOAT-FACED CAMEL!!!!!

[jocquez1]

Take it from someone who was influenced by Aaliyah... she's the reason I first started to sing YEAAAAAARS ago... This guy..... This guy.... smdh... This guy SWEEEEEARS he's Aaliyah.... if you watch her past interviews and then watch his, you'll hear the SAME DAMN THING.... Drake.... I'm CALLIN YOU OUT DAWG!!! Get real and realize that THERE WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVA EVAAAAAAAAA be another Aaliyah.... stop tryin... you pissin ppl off...!!! ME in particular...

[CrackDaddy85]

What is he talking about? Sade is not a brand, she is SADE. Twenty years from now who is going to be listening to Drake? Sade's music is timeless and will sound just as good in twenty years as it does today. Drake isn't even on the same plane of existence as Sade. I'm not hating on Drake, he's doing his thing but seriously.....work with Sade. More like work for Sade.

[grayrahiem]

Dude Sade is not crazy...work with u...uhhhh nexttt!

[MrSockoOck]

This nigga is delusional

Your wack. Sade is a living legend.

You might as well have asked Ozzy or Sting...fuckin' idiot

[nissan300zxkid]

@MrSockoOck OK LOL

[RonnieRocketzTV]

What the hell , would Sade and Drake sing about ? thats what these "rookie" artists need to consider , they always say they want to work with legends , but tell me what would Sade look like singing something along the likes of "Best I Ever Had" or "Fancy" . please let me know. Sade made a smart move .

[nissan300zxkid]

@RonnieRocketzTV she really did., there not realizing sade and her band .. she does not wanna go out of her circle all these years she has never did a duet with any other artis so why now would she do a duet with a rapper/singer? best ive ever had??

haha especially some one that is signed wit young money haha Drake get the fuck outta here thats like sade doing a duet with nikki minaj

[LostInAubrey00]

:( It'll happen, he's too fine to turn down :)

[mikeknight4u]

Did he just call Sade a BRAND? No wonder he was turned down. What a douche.

[desertflwrs]

@mikeknight4u exactly, I was just about to comment that! and did he just compare his vocals to hers? theres no comparision!

[spideyy3]

@mikeknight4u EXACTLY, "Drake" is a brand "Sade" is NOT a brand she's an ICON and a QUEEN, drake is just a silly kid from this generation that knows nothing

[NerdTheRaging]

@mikeknight4u He means brand of music, the way they do their things.

[shawoody]

@mikeknight4u Exactly.

[DaLane4real]

She do not want to sing wit you sucker.........

[PDAofficial]

Everyone has to understand that what Drake is doing here is paying respect to Sade. He knows that he is a very mainstream artist and has a strong influence on a large audience of people. He knows he's not the best singer in the world, but if he can do a track with Sade then maybe he can get another younger generation of kids to go check out some true music. All of you Sade fans should appreciate the fact that he respects your music!

[123456qwertyuiop915]

"someday".....................­...NOPE

[lovemicoco]

Uuuum... Sade doesn't need to know about you. She has woooooorked baby!!! You are influenced by her not her by you <3

[JerritoBK]

silly azz guy comparing himself to sade

[reeeltalk]

drake u mite have the nerds and the youts gassed but you cant gass the wise, experienced and deep!

[Seyahhsod]

Drake: Yo Sade, Can get Dat?

Sade: No, but you can get out !

[MrJuly1990ish]

Drake bruh I think you have to wait in a long ass line for the Goddess of love. You know Sade is a bad mofo when she had the purple one (Prince), all up in arms two years ago waiting for her comeback, lol!!

[shawntaze360]

I fuckin hate when ppl put other ppl down, I fucking hate that, a sense of pride come with age and experience well to fools who don't realize that they becoming dickheads, celebritys aint real no more, I miss pac, he would tell a young nigga be better than him instead of puttin him down like all you dickheads. Real shit

[HollywoodGal2020]

***UMMMM Drake, darling dear-Sorry, but ummm yea! Ninja Please! I don't have any of your CDs or songs, but I think you're ok...but babyBoy, you should have KNOWWWN the answer to THAT! Sade is a super legend..an artist who can be ghost for 10 years and come back STRONGGGG- NONE of you lil weak ass artists will be able to do that AND still sell millions & still have people all over THE WORLD come out & see U in concert-it would have been like Prince doing a Colab with Justin Beiber! C'mon dude!

[SiamSlim]

Sade is not hip-hop....sorry

[tanio12]

no drake your style and her style are like oil and vinegar not even compatible.

[imagefirst1998]

I think it was a little premature for Drake to reach out to a legend as SADE..yes I do think that you should take notes from her but you haven't been in the game long enough to reach that high but for the most part Sade is in a class all by herself and if you notice she is a complete solo artist and far as the brand thing...like I said on my fbook post she stays true to her art...she is not a brand,no perfume,no clothing,no alchol etc. she is SADE..true to her craft

[rima110]

Brands???? How dare you Drake...

[djsk1200]

Sade = untouchable....i hope she decides to stay that way.

[TheLexaAlexa]

"I only make records when I feel I have something to say. I'm not interested in releasing music just for the sake of selling something. Sade is not a brand." Sade

[TheLexaAlexa]

For real, Drake?!

[willbill38]

He's so simple she's not a brand she's said so herself, no she Don't know who you are shes been amazing for almost thirty years sold over 100 million records she cant get with that silly shit you spit together on a damn computer.

[NewEraKidd0323]

"LEZ-BE-HONNESTTTT" you can forget about this lol

[BellalAzimi]

@guerillatribe Well you have a point, I know what you mean, but me thinking Drake is more known is my opinion.

[treehuggerdude4]

of course she doesnt want to work with him, he's a stooge compared to her, lol..... in my opinion of course. Its like Eminem working with gladys knight.... doesnt make any damn sense, lol.... I agree with zayyanne, it was a wise decision to turn him down

[BellalAzimi]

@guerillatribe He's popular in different countries among teenagers and adults. I still think he is MORE KNOWN, but obviously Sade has a better reputation.

[BellalAzimi]

@guerillatribe I OBVIOUSLY do. He has a bigger fan base, more well know, I never said more talented, I never said better. I just said more well known.

[mskaylovespink]

@guerillatribe Thanks for the compliment, but I'm much older than my picture looks. Not even close to being a teenager still. And thanks for appologizing, its very big of you.

[mskaylovespink]

@guerillatribe First hunty, don't call me a retard. That's an offensive term to me and mentally challenged people. Choose intelligent responses so that don’t put people down and they would be received without a defense response back. With that said, there are millions of kids who don’t know who she is, but listen to Drake. To reach these potential fans, she should have done it. Britney now has Nicki fans, Nicki now has Britney fans. That’s all I’m say. See, no insult to you.

[wwejohncena]

HOW DARE DRAKE ASK SADE TO COLLABORATE WITH HIS SILLY ASS!

[treehuggerdude4]

@wwejohncena hahahaha, well said, she is so much deeper than his shallow music, lol

[MegaAdriatica]

Sade is not brand! Those are her own words.

[rclopez1118]

lmao...nobody knows who you are or cares!...Sade rules!

[TheThejakes]

@rclopez1118 have you been living under rock for a decade?

[mskaylovespink]

@rclopez1118 Why are you watching this if you don't know who he is or care about him? And speak for yourself. Lots of people who listen to the radio, buy mixtapes, seek the truth know who Drake is. She might have won over new fans had she worked with a new upcoming artist. Love her, but that was not smart business, if entertaining is your business!!!

[BellalAzimi]

@rclopez1118 More people know Drake than Sade.

[xxtiloverxx]

WUTEVER FCK HA ILL SING WIT YU LOL

[ShyeesTongue]

theres a reason why she turned his ass down...

[rianrobot]

wow, wtf- i always described drake and sade's music (among others) as haunting and people are always like "...what? no." and i'm just seeing this interview.. i knew that was the right description.

[zayyanne]

That was a very wise decision, Sade.

[nissan300zxkid]

@zayyanne THAT WAS GOOD SHE TURNED THESE GODDAMN MAINSTREAM ARTIST DOWN.. THEY SHOULDNT BE WIT NO DAMN SADE COME ON NOW

[gmf20002]

one day man....one day!! she woulda been perfect singing on Karaoke i mean DAMN that woulda been perfect and shoe wouldnt have left out of her comfort zone because all i could think about while listening to that song is that this is traight up a Sade cut

[XladylolX]

I wanna sing wit u Drake Aubrey Graham! X..x..x....x
