Drake - The Homecoming Pt. 1 [VIDEO]

Drake rarely gets visit his home of Toronto, but when he does his fans show him tons of love.  I must admit that I've been a hater of Drake's on occasion and I know that his sensitivity's become a running joke in Hip Hop, but how can you be mad at someone working as hard as he is?

Watch part one of his interview with Toronto's T-Rex as he explains about the impact of his fans, his relationship with Rick Ross, and what the motto "Y.O.L.O." really means to him.
