But I know he's got a lot of love for me, and I've got a lot of love for him. That would be an honor, but I don't know if Coach listens to my music. The Life: Now do you think Coach Cal is bumping to your music in his office or possibly just using you as a recruiting tool to keep a hip image with young players?Дrake: I don't know if anyone sees Coach Cal in his private office time, but if I had to guess, I think he lights candles and listens to Phil Collins to calm himself down.Дrake: (Laughs) I hope so. I got my eyes on the ESPN channel, watching what's going on. The Life: Do you still keep in contact with DeMarcus and John?Дrake: Oh yeah, definitely. Because we want to be them and they want to be us.' It's kind of that kind of thing. It's sort of like on my album, 'Sports and music are so synonymous. I connected with them because they're young and their lives are changing, and my life is changing. And becoming friends with John, I became closer with John, DeMarcus and Patrick. I took a lot of days off to see Kentucky basketball games and me and John became good friends.

Just talking and meeting the guys, I was like, man my heart was in it. Seeing him speak at when the players came out, seeing him speak there, I was inspired by him. The Life: You say family, is that World Wide Wes-like family?Дrake: (laughs) A lot of family. How did that all come about, you and Coach Cal's relationship?Дrake: I linked up with him through вЂ¦ we're all connected, a lot of family, um, and вЂ¦ The Life: You were spotted at four Kentucky basketball games this year, you're obviously a big Kentucky basketball fan. 1 right off the bat and that's a great thing. 'What does that exactly mean?' They tell me it means that it goes No. I had to actually ask yesterday what a No. 1, that has to be pretty surreal.Дrake: Yeah, it's pretty dope man. The Life: He had that YouTube thing, I think, whatever вЂ¦Дrake: I don't know, 'Shaq Fu' and all that old Shaq music was kind of dope. Sebastien Feval/Getty ImageДrake: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah вЂ¦ Kobe never rapped did he? The Life: Is his rap game going to be better than Shaq, better than Kobe's? Drake suspects Kentucky coach John Calipari might lean more toward softer stylings, such as Phil Collins. LeBron is going to start rapping soon, I bet. LeBron's hip-hop knowledge and capabilities are up there. The Life: How's LeBron's voice? Can he pull it off?Дrake: Yeah, he's dope. (As I approached Drake, he and a woman were finishing a conversation.)Дrake: With LeBron? Oh god вЂ¦ (to The Life) LeBron basically performed at my last show.

Shrewd move.Д«efore he performed Friday at the Indiana State Fair, the admitted NBA junkie sat down with The Life to talk music, NBA relationships, Joe Carter, and of course, Bieber Fever. The Toronto native got his start in entertainment on the Canadian teen drama 'Degrassi: The Next Generation' (which airs on Teen Nick in the United States) before leaving the small screen in 2009 to chase his music aspirations. 1 on the Billboard 200 with his album 'Thank Me Later.' In June, the hip-hop phenomenon debuted at No. He makes music with the biggest names in the industry, while ladies screech at every turn.Дrake may not be the most interesting man in the world, but he's certainly angling for its most popular.ДЄ partnership with Lil Wayne has launched Drake's career into rarefied air and tracks 'Over,' 'Find Your Love' and 'Forever' are omnipresent on the radio and at clubs. He hangs with the University of Kentucky basketball team, coach John Calipari and the enigma that is William Wesley, better known as World Wide Wes. Drake's youth and sudden burst of megafame help him relate to his NBA superstar friends. Now he has a second chance and with вЂњFind Your LoveвЂќ he tries to appeal to males (being a ladiesman, getting the hot chick) and to females (being a mysterious sensitive lover).INDIANAPOLIS - Two of his best friends are LeBron James and Chris Paul. He tried to cater to women with вЂњBest I Ever HadвЂќ but the video backfired. Again ransom comes to mind and also take Me Down. He already dropped a few Blood lines on his mixtapes. He figures he has the streets because of his Wayne affiliation. Drake knows that the maximize his exposure he needs to appeal to everyone. Ever seen video footage of him with a cigarette or a blunt? DonвЂ™t get it confused. He only smokes cigars and thatвЂ™s only for photoshoots. But fifty is probably one of the most health conscious rapper there is. Fifty had a track for every type of consumer. If you recall вЂњHigh all the timeвЂќ of Get Rich or Die Trying. He does it because he wants to appeal to everyone. JohnBlack been following him since that tape dropped too and I agree he sometimes drops a few line about smoking.
