Drake was interviewed by "Entertainment Weekly" about his new upcoming album "Take Care":
"I remember when artist used to take, like, four years to make an album.
Usher used to disappear for three years. It took Justin Timberlake a
really long time to craft Justified. Even Beyoncé’s albums are
spanned three years apart. You’ve got to live, man. And now we’ve sort
of birthed and encouraged this generation of instant gratification.
Where it’s like “The Weeknd’s about to release his new mixtape on
Twitter and I can get it right away with the click of a button.”" [...]
"I really hope that there’s people who sit with the music and drive to it and just really soak it in—not just run back to the computer and demand more. It’s important for our generation to know that it’s okay to take some time. It’s okay if an album takes a year or two to make. That just means it’s probably going to be better than if they took two months and released it." [...] "I want people to get it all on the same day. Even if it leaks, I want people to hear it together, as opposed to reading an in depth article about every song. I don’t people to know what to expect. There’s a lot of shocking sonic music on this album."

He commented on Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Watch The Throne" album:
"With Jay and with Watch the Throne, I’m so glad that it came
out. As artists, we all need extra motivation. And I feel like in these
last 30 days, that album is going to make me go 10 times harder from
just, you know, hearing all the bars and all the sounds."
and talked about possible collaborations on a future album:
"I’ve discussed doing projects with is obviously Lil Wayne. And one of
the people of the people I enjoy rapping with most in this business is
Rozay [Rick Ross]. Me and him have talked about potentially doing
something after our albums comes out. I just love making songs with
him. Every time we make a song it just seems to be something I love
listening to after the fact when I’m in my car."
