“Drake Is The King” Says Timbaland

Timbaland was recently in an interview with Ebro and Peter Hesenburg where he aired out his opinion of Drake being “the King” on Hot97. After discussing Kanye West’s ability to create hit, radio-accepted records without the use of a traditional chorus, the famed producer went on to praise Drake for the way in which he uses established methods in a contemporary way.

“That’s why you got to look at homeboy now, he got it – Drake got it,” Timbaland said during the conversation with Ebro Darden. “He the King. He got it. He doing everything that the people done in the ‘90s, but flipping it in a cooler way. I watch [him] and I say, ‘This dude doing everything. He really studied it. He really studied it and flipped it to this generation.’ People need to pay attention to him. The way he do his business and the way he doing it, it’s on point.”
