Drake has a reputation for being a person who really enjoys life, which, in Lil Yachty’s opinion, is the main difference between them.
On September 26, Lil Boat conducted a thorough interview with Complex in which he discussed his burgeoning bond with Drizzy and life on tour.
He specifically discussed how he and Drake approach life differently while producing music.
When it comes to lifestyle, me and him are kind of different, Yachty stated. “Like, we have a lot in common as individuals, yet we live completely different lives. For instance, he loves to go out, entertain guests, and party, whereas I don’t really enjoy people that much.
And I record every day for the entire day, whereas he kind of picks and chooses which days to record since he has a more active social life than I do. And unlike me, who tries to create music every day, he is far more interested in living life. And I’m not sure if I inherited his attitude of “Oh, I should go live a life too,” as I enjoy making music more than I do not.
“This gives me joy. I abhor going out. I guess I just discovered that it’s possible to be so similar to someone while also being so different from them.
Yacthy has been open (and humorous) about Drake’s creative process and how it relates to the Toronto superstar’s life numerous times over the past few months, including in the most recent interview.
The Atlanta native spoke on an edition of A Safe Place Podcast earlier this month to explain why it’s been a minute since the 6: God has created songs with sentiment, such as “Hold On We’re Going Home” or “Take Care.”
He started, “Man, why don’t you make music like you used to? That’s what I asked him a while back. “I said, ‘Why don’t you make love songs like those songs that make people miss their ex and shit?'”
“I believe he explained to me how it’s difficult for him to write songs about things he isn’t dealing with or experiencing, which opened an eye for me because, on the other hand, as a songwriter, I can just go make some shit up,” the author said.
Man, why don’t you make music like you used to? he said. I once questioned him about that.Why don’t you write love songs that make people miss their ex and shit, I asked.
According to the author, “I think he explained to me how it’s hard for him to write songs about things he’s not dealing with or experiencing, which opened an eye for me because, on the other hand, as a songwriter, I can just go make some shitup.”
