Drake is back for round two with another drop for his 100 Gigs content website. Drizzy went back to the archives and dug through the Nothing was as before-era archives from 2013 to give fans a glimpse into his creative genius at the time.
100 Gigs received an update on Sunday (August 25) which also includes the three-pack of tracks he leaked on his Instagram burner on Friday (August 23).
Highlights are scattered throughout the content dump, including one in which Drizzy speaks with YG and Mustard after their collaboration on 2014’s “Who Do You Love,” which peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“I’m about to send you guys a verse that I made on this beat that Mustard sent me for you guys… I’m about to record that shit and I’m sending it to you guys,” Drake told YG and Mustard over the phone. “Just tell Future to email it and I’ll send you guys the verse in 30 minutes… I’m sending you guys the shit and let’s crank up the summer, I’m ready.”
It’s an interesting move by Drake to flaunt his once-fruitful relationship with YG and Mustard, considering the two West Coasters allied themselves during Drizzy’s feud with Kendrick Lamar. YG danced onstage with Kendrick at the Pop Out concert and Mustard produced “Not Like Us.”
Mustard also recently went a step further regarding his relationship with Drake when he rejected the idea of ever doing a song with the 6 God again, calling him a “weird guy” in an interview with. The Los Angeles Times published on August 21st.
“I don’t think I want to do a song with this guy,” he told the newspaper. “He’s a weird guy.”
There was also some clashing with his sometime enemy Ye – formerly known as Kanye West – when they shared the stage at OVO Fest while Yeezy presented Drake with his flowers. West even admitted that Drake’s sudden entry into the rap scene inspired him and Hov to Watch the throne.
“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 Nothin.” “So I just want to show my respect.”
The love affair continued backstage as Drake gushed about being a Ye fan and hearing how West appreciates his art since he grew up idolizing him.
“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.”
There was plenty of other footage in the latest edition, including a time when Drake and The Weeknd got along well, as well as footage of NWT Tracks like “Pound Cake” and “Furthest Thing” with Jay-Z support.
Nothing was as before was released in September 2013 and debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 with 658,000 copies sold in its first week.
