In the upcoming “Power 30” issue of The Source (of which In Flex We Trust ranked number 19 on their Digital Power 30), Drake graces the cover and gives quite a candid interview. In an excerpt released online today, the Young Money star reveals the reason behind his lack of a presence on social networking phenomenons Twitter and Tumblr. Although he speaks for himself because I’m absolutely obsessed with Twitter (Tumblr not so much), he makes PERFECT sense with his reasoning. Read what he had to say below. The Power 30 issue hits newsstands the same day Drake’s new album drops, November 15th.

“I’m really scared for my generation, you know. The thing that scares me most is Tumblr. I hate what Tumblr has become. Because it like, it reminds me of those clique-y girls in high school that used to make fun of everyone else and define what was cool, but in five years, when you all graduate, that shit doesn’t matter. No one gives a fuck about that shit. Instead of kids going out and making their own moments, they’re just taking these images and living vicariously through other people’s moments. It just kills me. Then you’ll meet them and they’re just the biggest turkey in the world. They don’t actually embody any of those things. They just emulate. It’s scary man, simulation life that we’re living. It scares me.”

On Twitter:

“I’ll tell you, my biggest thing was, I remember, it was on twitter. I remember the day my mom was getting surgery and someone came on Twitter and they were like, ‘Yo, Drake, I hope your mom dies.’ You don’t really mean that.”

…Like, you know you’re going to see something bad. Out of 1000 compliments, it’s so crazy. It’s basically, like, when you used to sit there as a kid, and want to know what everyone is thinking. That’s your superpower. [Twitter is] knowing what everyone is thinking.”
