Ghostface Killah Calls Drake ‘Brilliant’

As evident in his recent record breaking mixtape release, Drake has a huge fan base. Add Ghostface Killah to the mix. The busiest member of the Wu-Tang Clan was recently in Drizzy's hometown for a concert and gave the Young Money rapper props when questioned by reporters. "Drake is brilliant," Ghostface recently told The Canadian Press. "I don't look at Drake like these other little rhyme guys nowadays, because I think he can really spit a rhyme. So I put him in a different category."

Aubrey recently dropped his mixtape, If You're Reading This, It's Too Late which did crazy numbers on iTunes. One knock on the project from the Drake's detractors is the amount of singing he does, which is something he has been somewhat called out for during his career by purists. Iron Man doesn't seem to mind. "A lot of people might try to play him out ... but I'm a lyricist, so once my antennas go up and I hear somebody who sounds really nice on the beat and got a lot of fans and stuff like that ... I keep listening to him."

Ghost continued, "He's just one who caught my ear. He's really, really doing his thing. I can't (dump) on him. Nothing bad I can really say about him."

The feeling is more than likely mutual. As you may recall, Drake put out a tribute to the Wu, titled "Wu-Tang Forever" back in 2013 which dropped to mixed reviews from Wu fans and members of the Wu. There was supposed to be a remix which featured members of the Clan. But after months in limbo it never materialized.
