The 8 best moments from Drake’s 100-gig content purge

Steph Curry came to Drake’s mansion and the two engaged in a heated game of ping pong, but it’s unclear who ultimately came out on top. The NBA star then showed off his talents on the outdoor basketball court, where he cooked for all six of God’s friends and partners. This appears to have been in the mid-2010s when Drizzy was at Views.

Pusha T beat Drake to the punch when he revealed that the 6th God had a son named Adonis in his scathing 2018 diss track “The Story of Adidon.” Shortly after, Drake decided to go ahead with his plan to reveal his child to the world. Scorpio‘s “March 14.” Footage from the 100 gigs drop shows Drake intently listening to every detail of the track on an iPhone.

Drake had one of those “my life is a movie” moments when he saw his hard work pay off when he boarded his luxurious Air Drake private jet for the first time. While listening to Yeat, he also gave his fans an insight into his design process for the sister aircraft, the Air Drake 2. “She’s probably on board” is a fitting slogan for OVO Aviation.

Rihanna and Drake’s relationship is strained these days, with her baby daddy A$AP Rocky and Drizzy even exchanging insults on diss tracks. But it wasn’t always like this, as Drake and Rih worked closely together in the first half of the 2010s, and more than that. In a clip from 100 Gigs, Drake and Rihanna can be seen soundchecking their 2011 collaboration “Take Care” in front of an empty arena. Even then, the chemistry between them was obvious.

A one-night stand inspired Drake to write one of his diamond anthems. Drizzy explained that a girl’s phone always rang when they were together, which led to him saving her in his phone as “Hotline Bling.”

“We would be in bed together… and her phone would ring. So I saved her name in my phone as ‘Hotline Bling.’ That’s always been her name on my phone,” he said. “And when I looked at it today, I thought, ‘Hotline Bling’ is a dope name. That should be a stage name.”

He eventually put the energy into making a record with her contact name as the title and the rest is history. Interestingly, Drake almost got Future to join him on “Hotline Bling.” “When I wrote it, I wrote it as a Shy Glizzy song,” he said. “That’s why I asked if we should put Future on that shit.”

Drake’s 2018 Wyoming trip proved to be a turning point in the breakdown of his relationship with Kanye. At the time, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg reported that Drake flew to Wyoming to work with West and was initially left out as a co-writer on “Yikes” when the track was released as part of Yeezy’s Her Album.

Now we have footage of Drake working on what became the hook of “Yikes” while recording the reference. A line can be drawn from the deteriorating relationship between Drake and Kanye to the feud between Pusha T and Drizzy that boiled over a few months later in May 2018.

Drake brought it back to the Watch out era, when he set up a makeshift studio in a hotel room closet to record the poignant opening track, “Over My Dead Body.” Footage shows him instructing Canadian singer Chantal Kreviazuk on how to open the album with an exhilarating introduction.

When Jay-Z agrees to appear on a record, you move mountains to make that happen. Drake was clearly pressed for time when he game-planned with OVO 40 to be ready for Jay to send through his verse for what became 2021’s “Talk Up” Certified Loverboy.

Hov’s engineer Young Guru put the situation into context, explaining that they were in a difficult time-wise position as Jay was in Europe performing with Beyoncé as part of the OTR2 tour and had to record his verse immediately after a show.

“Furthest Thing” has long been a fan favorite of OVO followers from his acclaimed 2013 album Nothing was as before. The platinum-selling track peaked at number 56 on the Hot 100. 100 Gigs offers fans an unlikely look at Drizzy’s vocals. “I just want to hear it and see if it makes sense. I think I want to put the drums in too,” he said while steering the ship in the studio.

Drake provided the Atlanta trio with the ultimate co-sign before Migos’ mainstream explosion. Drizzy jumped on the remix of their raunchy “Versace” anthem and nothing was as before for the ATLiens, who owe their first Hot 100 entry in part to Drake, who sneaked in at No. 99.

In another clip, Drake was rehearsing for the tour and joked that he wanted the Migos ad-libs incorporated as sound effects while on stage during his performance. Quavo saluted Drake after catching wind of the video on his IG story. “@champagnepapi Never forget what we did gang!!! Migo Gang 4L Drake Sinatra,” Huncho wrote.

After sharing the stage with one of his idols at OVO Fest in 2013, Drake took a minute backstage with his team to process the moment. “I’m the biggest Ye fan, period. Sometimes I feel like I can’t like it because I have to fight it,” Drake admitted. “But that shit tonight was almost therapeutic.”

Facing a heavyweight like Hov can be an intimidating task for any rapper and Drake knew he had to do his best to Nothing was as before‘s “Pound Cake.” 100 Gigs recordings show Drizzy struggling to perfect his opening verse. “Maybe it just takes a little improvisation,” he said. “Because I listen to that verse and I’m used to it. I like that tone. Next to Hov, I sound like a man.”

Drake and Ye have maintained a competitive relationship over the years, switching between friends and enemies depending on the day. West showed up at Drizzy’s OVO Fest in 2013, where he presented flowers to the 6 God in his hometown.

“Hov and I wouldn’t have made it Watch the throne if that n—a wouldn’t put so much pressure on us,” he said before singing “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” “So I just want to show my respect.”

Drake has an icy relationship with YG and Mustard these days, but it wasn’t always this way. He revealed he had a phone conversation with the West Coast duo before appearing on YG’s 2014 single “Who Do You Love?” The track peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The move to record the clip came after Mustard called Drake a “weird guy” in an interview with. The Los Angeles Times released on August 21. “I don’t think I want to do a song with this guy,” he told the newspaper. “He’s a weird guy.”

Drake accompanied J. Cole and his team, including manager Ibrahim Hamad, on a trip to Best Buy to purchase all of the CDs of Cole’s album “Born Sinner” that the store had in stock at the time of the project’s release in June 2013. BS debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 with a total of 297,000 album units sold, which was about 30,000 less than Yes Yeezus LP.
