Drake graces the front cover of XXL magazine’s 150th and 16th anniversary issue, which you can view above. For the cover story, Drizzy talked about his upcoming Nothing Was The Same album, his image, who he sees as his competition, the success he his having, Amanda Bynes, and more.

The issue will be available to purchase on newsstands in just under 2 weeks (August 20th). Hit the jump to read a few excerpts from Drizzy Drake‘s interview with XXL!

ON THE NEW ALBUM:

I remember coming into this year thinking, “How am I going to cut through all these people and shine?” I’ve never been part of a year when so many legends are dropping projects. How am I going to be seen? I’m going to be like the kid waving in the background in the photo with all of his tall relatives. And, I guess, those were my initial thoughts, and not to say that I haven’t enjoyed some of the stuff that has come out this year, but it didn’t pan out the way I thought it was going to. I think I am going for it, to really establish what are murmurs or things being said quietly, “Um, I think that Drake might actually…” On September 17th I want people to be like, “Oh, we were right.”

ON HIS IMAGE:

Do I think that if I didn’t have, for lack of a better term, a unique look about me, if I was from somewhere in America and if I hadn’t been on a kids TV show [Degrassi: The Next Generation], would I be as famous? I don’t know, man. Honestly, I don’t think so. I was just some young kid on a TV show. And I haven’t become anything else while I’ve been in this position. It’s not like I got here and was like, “Oh, got to switch up my image.” I don’t wake up nervous. I feel like maybe a lot of these guys do. How old are you, really? What is your background, really? What have you really done in the drug game, in the thug game?

ON THE COMPETITION:

It’s tough for me. That’s a guy I can’t pretend not to like. He’s the guy to me, in a lot of ways. That’s Kanye West. But I’m also here to be the best. I’m here to surpass. I’m here to outdo. I’m ready for whatever with anybody.

ON HIS SUCCESS:

I get Jewish people coming up to me proud like, “Mazel Tov, bro. Come to my house for Shabbat dinner.”

AMANDA BYNES:

I don’t even know who that is doing that or what that’s about. If that is her, I guess it’s a little weird and disturbing. It’s obviously a behavioral pattern that is way bigger than me. Whoever is behind it, whether it’s her or somebody else, they know people are paying attention so they keep it going.

Sounds like he had Pusha T in mind

Drake was recently pulled over by a police officer. The Young Money rapper filmed the incident and posted it on Instagram. In the video, which can be seen below, the Toronto emcee/singer also calls the police officer "cute."

Drake posted a series of hashtags to go along with the video. In his Instagram update, the emcee captioned the clip with tags that included #ExcuseToPullOverTheBoy and #NeedAFrontPlate, perhaps alluding to the reason for being pulled over.

Drake's video can be seen below, followed by the rapper's caption.

Mrs. Officer on a draw down ting. #BwoyDem #ActuallyGyalDem #NeedAFrontPlate #ExcuseToPullOverTheBoy #LovedHerSmile #HatedHerAccent #NWTSFollow
