“Although [Drake’s] sold millions and has critical acclaim to go with the pop success, he’s frequently criticized as “soft.” Many of the attacks center on his willingness to show his sensitive side, evident in songs such as “Marvin’s Room” or “Find Your Love.”
“I’m just being me, and part of being me is being in touch with emotion. That’s all I write about. If I didn’t write about my emotions, I don’t know what else I would write about. I’d make songs about generic things that nobody could relate to and I probably wouldn’t be in this position that I’m in right now,” said Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham.
