DOWNLOAD: Drake - 9AM Freestyle
.jpg)
Drake is nothing if not self-aware. As Pitchfork pointed out, the word "I" is used 410 times during his debut, Thank Me Later. Immediately one gets the feeling that there isn't much the 23-year-old money tree takes lightly, especially the hyperbolic expectations set for his success. On "9AM Freestyle" Drake details his dilemma, "scared for the first time everything has clicked, what if I don’t really do the numbers they predict, considering the fact that I’m the one that they just picked, to write a chapter in history this shit has got me sick." Big numbers or no, Drake's made his case for the greats by challenging other emcees to be as transparent to their audience and hard on themselves as he is. You can thank him later.
