For his recent cover story with The Source magazine, Drake spoke with Kim Osorio
about his five favorite Hip Hop albums of all time.
5. OutKast – Aquemini or The Love Below
4. The Notorious B.I.G. – Life After Death
3. Little Brother/Mick Boogie Mixtape – And Justus For All
2. The Clipse – Lord Willin’
1. Jay-Z – The Black Album
He also tacked on a few more influential albums that pushed him towards a career
in rap. “And then that’s without…. That’s life changing. That’s without, you know,
[Lil Wayne’s] Carter 2 and other things that pushed me to rap. Those were definitive
albums that opened my sound. Oh, and Snoop Dogg, Doggystyle. Those were just de-
finitive albums that opened my mind to sound and melody and cadences and flows
and you know. Those were like really important to me.”
Drake’s sophomore album, Take Care, is due November 15th.
