In early June rumors began to surface through out the web that the Toronto bred MC Drake, would be featured on The Blueprint 3's first single on a song called "Off That". However, much to the surprise of Drake enthusiasts around the globe, Jay-Z actually chose "Run this Town" featuring pop star, Rihanna and rapper, Kanye West as his albums lead single.
The Boombox recently spoke with Drake, who shared his thoughts on the matter:
"I don't know who came up with that rumor to be honest, but I always knew what Jay's first single was going to be,"... "Me and Jay did a lot of work together. Maybe at one point he was considering doing it and someone got over-excited and put out a press release that I was going to be on the first single."
Drake, who is still earning kudos from the hip-hop community for his mixtape, "So Far Gone", offered his thoughts on "Run This Town", while remaining optimistic that his song with still make the album. "I think Jay made a great choice," he says. "I think the 'Run This Town' song is phenomenal. I think Kanye kills that s---. I actually heard that song when it was a Rihanna track." ..."We have more than one record to pick from. Jay-Z is one of those guys that's just too good. I would be definitely disappointed if I wasn't on it. I think it's going to be a legendary project. I have my fingers crossed." -
