Drake gets suited up for the Style Bible edition of GQ magazine hitting newsstands in April. Drizzy has been awarded the front cover twice since his sophomore album, only Will Smith and Jay-Z are the only rappers to have graced the cover of GQ magazine more than once. He opened up about his relationship with his father, how fame has improved his life, and slowing down on sleeping with a lot of women.

Check out a glance of the interview and see more photos below.

On his relationship with his father: “Me and my dad are friends. We’re cool. I’ll never be disappointed again, because I don’t expect anything anymore from him. I just let him exist, and that’s how we get along. We laugh. We have drinks together. But I spent too many nights looking by the window, seeing if the car was going to pull up. And the car never came.”

On the state of hip-hop: “Rap now is just being young and fly and having your shit together. The mood of rap has changed.”

On pre- and post-Internet fame: “Some of my favorite rappers, some of my heroes-DJ Screw, Aaliyah-there might be like 200 pictures of them because there was no Internet. Whereas with us, it’s like every moment is documented.”

On his sex life: “There’s just a time where it was like, just getting pu**y. Where I was in that sort of ‘I’m young, I’m going to disconnect from my emotions and just do what everyone else tells me I should do, try some Anal Dating, and just be a rapper and have my fun.’ And for me as a person, it just doesn’t work. I just need something else. The seconds after a man reaches climax, that’s like the realest moment of your life. If I don’t want you next t me in that fifteen, twenty seconds, then there’s something wrong.”

On how his life has changed: “I’m trying to find the same feelings that I had for women when I had very little going on, which is tough. When I was in my mom’s house, I had nowhere to go, no real obligations. My girlfriend at the time, if she was mad at me, my day was all fucked-up. I didn’t have anything else. And that made for some of the best music, I think, to date. Records where I felt small. That feeling is hard to capture when you’re sitting out here in a space like this. It’s really difficult for me to find something that makes me feel small.”
