With the release of his album Scorpion, a vicious beef with Pusha T, and some gossip around Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the last year of Drake's life has been one for the record books. So in honor of the rapper's 32nd birthday, the Noisey editorial staff returns to October's Very Owned, the only podcast about Drake (that we know of), to discuss just where Aubrey can go from here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
31 days of Drake finally comes to a close with a special guest. In the final episode, Noisey talks extensively about the month, and why Drake’s kaleidoscope of a personality offers such a fertile ground for cultural discussion. Thanks for listening.

Drake is one of the most famous artists in the world, without question, but is he influential? On this episode, the Noisey staff takes a look at the impact Drake has had on a younger generation. Oh, and also, that time he got peed on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We asked you, the listeners, for all of your questions about Drake and in this episode we tried our best to answer them. Although, many of you thought we were asking for questions FOR Drake. And we tried to answer those as well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We’ve spent a lot of time on this podcast laughing about Drake, but… are we laughing AT him or WITH him? Why is he so damn funny? On this episode, ItsTheReal’s Eric and Jeff Rosenthal join to get to the bottom of it and rate the comedic chops of the self-deprecating, meme machine that is Drake. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Drake’s 31st birthday party was Bar Mitzvah themed, and included red cups and pizza boxes with his name on them. Naturally, we had to unpack this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This episode started out as a fairly lighthearted discussion about Drake’s video game prowess with Waypoint’s Austin Walker, but then a discussion about the state of the world broke out and things took a turn for the darker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Drake’s definitely got his own sense of style, but is he “good” with fashion? Naturally, we have no idea and instead deferred to two style-conscious editors from i-D, Hannah Ongley and Andre Wheeler. Are Drake’s big-ass sweaters cool? Or does he have the fashion sense of a lame uncle? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It’s October 24, which means it’s Drake’s birthday! We spend this episode imagining what his friends must get him as gifts and discussing how hard it must be to shop for the man who seemingly has everything. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode, we take a look at some of our favorite Drake deep cuts. But also, we talk a lot about the movies of Jim Carrey. So, half dissection of Drake deep cuts, half praise of ‘The Cable Guy.’ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We’ve already hypothesized about how Drake spends his Saturdays in a previous episode, but, as we all know, Sundays are a different vibe. In this episode, we discuss whether he uses his Sunday evenings to wind down and prepare for a new week, or if Sunday is just another day for the 6 God. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Drake is not above posting a workout selfie on Instagram, but is his form any good? In this episode, we take a look through all the footage we could find of Drake working out and analyze it. Not to blow up his spot, but it looks like Drake skips Leg Day, though he’s a huge fan of working his biceps. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Following our BLOCKBUSTER INVESTIGATIVE ARTICLE, “Does Drake Even Know How to Smoke Weed?” we invited Krishna Andavolu of VICELAND’s ‘Weediquette’ to help solve the biggest conspiracy in hip-hop. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this episode, we tested our knowledge of Drake by Googling “Drake quiz” and taking the first one that came up. It was not a very good quiz, and we’re fairly certain it got some of the information wrong. (His favorite color is brown?) Take this quiz along with us to see if you fare as terribly as we did. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We asked you to call in with your thoughts about Drake and leave us a voicemail. And in this episode, we play all of them. Some of you hate Drake. Some of you LOVE Drake. A bunch of you have Drake tattoos. Here’s what happens when the hotline blings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode, we talk about 40, the producer Drake met early on in his music career and subsequently became inseparable from. Not only has the man been responsible for the clean sound that blends R&B with hip-hop, but he’s forged a close personal bond with Drake. Also, apparently his mom was in the movie ‘A Christmas Story.’ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Since neither of the hosts have ever met Drake, they invited someone on the podcast who has. This episode’s guest hung out with Drake for two hours once. On the next episode, an interview with a guy who sold Drake some pants at Marshall’s. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Halfway through our month-long podcast centering entirely around Drake, it’s time to ask: Is Drake listening to this podcast? Seeing as how we’ve been talking about him for several hours, we hope so. In this episode, we pretty much just beg Drake to come on the show, so if you’re not Drake, you don’t have to listen if you don’t want. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Though Drake doesn’t have any Dominican roots, he has experimented with Dominican culture. From the all-white linen ensemble in the “Pop That” video to flashing the DR flag in “Started from the Bottom,” Drizzy clearly has an appreciation. Remezcla writer Isabelia Herrera joins the podcast to discuss Dominican Drake. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
What do Drake’s songs about love say about him as a person? On this episode, we take a look at Drake’s more sensitive lyrics to analyze what Drake is like on a date and wonder when he’ll find the right woman to settle down with. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
