As you may already know, Drake is planning to re-release his now classic mixtape, "So Far Gone" to retail. (Click Here For More Info) However, many fans were left scratching their heads after a leak of the album revealed that the retail version would only contain 7 tracks, 2 of which being "Im Goin In" Ft Lil Wayne and "Fear" a previously unreleased track, neither of which appeared on the original "So Far Gone". In the midst of all the confusion, Drake took to his blog to explain why he felt "So Far Gone" needed to be re-released:
"People often ask me the craziest part about becoming "famous" and I've never had an answer until yesterday.
"You'll spend half of your time defending yourself and the other half trying to stay sane resulting in you being forced to find time to be creative"
I often wonder in a time where new artists exist in a impersonal cyber world of instantaneous information, if we will ever have another rap legend that can manage to maintain the image that our idols had prior to this method of promotion. I am not suggesting that this person should be me, I am just urging a generation to understand that in order to have anyone of any significance in our lives that we can look up to there will be things that we must look past. There are people that buy sell and trade evil on a daily basis...when u believe in their brand is when they win" - Drake
