- Unbeknownst to many, Jas Prince was responsible for discovering and catapulting Drake's rap career after finding him on MySpace. By the time Jas reached out to the OVO rapper, he already had success as an actor on the Canadian television drama series, Degrassi and began to circulate as a lyricist. Although Jas comes from a music based family and has a Rap-A-Lot affiliation through his father J Prince, Jas opens up to DJ Vlad that Drake was uncertain of his promises. "I was like, 'I'm [going to] make you famous' and he was like 'I hear that a lot.'" Even though Drake appeared pessimistic about Jas' capabilities, he decided to work with him regardless.
In this interview Jas talks about J Prince and Lil Wayne not feeling the Canadian's sound, but explains once he gave him exclusive beats and let Weezy listen to him a second time during a random drive, He immediately wanted to work with him the next day.

It's crazy that no one believed in drake and now he's the biggest star in the world.
Ice 2 a year after you're comment he's bigger lol
Ice 2 started from the bottom
Drake didn't even believe in himself
Zatise Boyd samething with jay z no one wanted to sign him nobody and no one helped him him and Damon dash started there own thing and look who jay z is
Now he's even bigger
2009 was the most important year for this generation in rap. Drake popped nicki popped J. cole dropped the warm up. Kendrick started going by Kendrick Lamar and dropped the kendrick lamar ep. Kid Cudi dropped man on the moon. Wale dropped his debut. Big sean dropped finally Famous. It was the first time we heard Hard n da paint which changed the sound of hip hop till this day still.
+boo1987 H.P yeah but you can't deny their impact. it's not about who's best.
MAWDFAWKA FORGOT WIZ KHALIFA N CURREN$Y # JET LIFE # EATTA A DIKK
+GQ iDeal yes forgot about that. but wiz really got his following in 2010 with kush and oj
No CEILINGS?!?!!
kendrick name was k.dot first
Arguably the biggest plug in the last ten years. He helped to change the whole game by following his gut.
Not many people know who jaz is! A legend I would say
J Prince is the plug, the legend, but Jas is definitely getting the baton.
lmaooo the plug he is you’re right
Now he's a dead man walking
Wrong brother
He's very respectful of his father. The way he speaks about him, gotta give Jas a thumbs up for that.
Champ1988 Factz. J Prince Sr. Has a lot of respect here in Houston
Jynxx The Next Best Thing nigga the most respectful mob boss in the south lol You’d think JPrince an innocent old man if u seen him in a grocery store
@@Miltonman100 lol you are absolutely correct. Would never know. Had a few opportunities to talk with him . You know he's rarely out in the public eye
Jynxx The Next Best Thing hes what suge Knight couldve been if he had some damn sense. J Prince earn his respect and build his empire. Suge Dumbass bully n beat up innocent niggas . Now he gon die in prison SMH
@@Miltonman100 Right took his power to the extreme.
Sometimes people won't get your vision until you make it.
usually happens that way
Than it’s to late for them.
now I see why drake shows Houston soo much love
rigghhtt i literally just thought the same thing lol.
💯💯💯
Yep he never forgot which city gave his first shoot
Exactlyyy that’s what I’m seein now plus why around the time I heard of him and playin Thank Me Later he was plugged in did a song Uptown with Bun B with that Texas sound and the common denominator is the Princes cause his Daddy J Prince was behind UGK and other Texas artist gettin on 💯 Yea he loyal they believed in him to this degree I didn’t know Wayne wasn’t even fuqin wit him like that at first so he more loyal to them even than Wayne which is news to me and makin it make sense 💯 Even later he did that song Mob Ties which more recently made sense to me that he was probably referring to the Princes so it’s gon be interesting to see how Drake is with them when this investigation with Takeoff play out smh RIP Takeoff 🙏🏽🕊️👼🏾🚀👑🕯️💐
U never payed attention lol
Drake received the biggest stimulus package in rap history. Lil Wayne, Kanye and Eminem on one song!!!
Kundai Gotore I told this someone the other day if u look at all his features from around that time it step him to be biggest star of our decade.
Kendrick Lamar ?
Drake earned that tho, his sound was taking off quick
@@martincastro6276 tranE lover Dot ?
"Yo does he like me?" that's something Drake would say lmao
Reezy J I was looking for this comment 😂😂😂
Lmao
lmaooo
I’m weak
I see how both him and Drake click...They both have the same type of mannerisms
Facts they like the same person lol
Lmao kids nowadays will never know anything about myspace thats crazy yo
best part 6:27 - 13:22
myspace is where i got my start at ...100
Myspace was the first instagram, facebook, twitter and youtube.
MySpace was the truth.... got the hottest songs on your page and everyone fighting for top5 friends and shit
Nothing but kids on myspace now.
Jas, you're a genius. The fact that you had the chance to lock Drake into a deal and didn't because you knew Wayne could elevate Drake's brand to a higher level than your label could at the time shows your heightened sense of the game that not many have. The ones who have it are at the top, and that's where you'll be shortly. Having no regrets about how you structured your involvement in Drake's affairs --strategically opting to sign on in the manager capacity-- is the icing on top of your genius cake. The mistake you avoided making is the mistake Cam'ron made with Vado -- Vado could've been a much bigger star had Cam steered him toward people with current momentum who could have given Vado a larger platform to launch from. I admire you young man; keep up the great work.
His dad is the one who told him to put drake with wayne
@@rapartist9309 cool.
Vado is lazy he was only gonna get as big as he got
He still locked Drake into a deal lol he was apart of his young money deal
@@MikeSmith-gx6be very much well cooks be true. I know nothing about him personally. It just felt like he had big star potential.
He look like Royce, Joe Budden and Omarion wrapped up into one! LOL!
wow u caught that right
Lol facts
💯
lmao naw bruh look like number 8 on the style chart in the barbershop.
+John Matthews III 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Why would anyone dislike this interview just clean your ears soak up game this man is a young mogul we can learn a lot from him
because he discovered drake
+Brian Zayas Yes. Soak up the game & maybe you'll have more than youtube comments
Ok
I beg you shut up
Anything that has to do with drake is hated has the most haters but still winning and #1 these haters need a new hobby because clearly their hate is not working
Rapping with jas over beats that I shouldn't have in the hopes for the glory
Khalil Reid FUCK ALL THAT HAPPY TO HE HERE SHIT THAT YALL WANT ME ON IM THE BIG HOMEY THEY STILL BE TRYING TO LIL BRO ME DAWG
Khalil Reid he walked right by in the hallway 3 months later im his artist, he probably wouldnt remember that story...

This is very informational. Thank you for sharing :)
Jas Prince the first to cry over his ex with drake music assisting him.

1st one to figure out how to unlock the hidden tracks... hahaha
Diego 😂😂😂
Lmao
😂😂😂
this story is soooooo dope. gotta love the universe.
Tee Lewis got to love god
God is great
That's TRUE
So before this nigga saw drake online he never heard of the Toronto raptors?
lmaooooo right bruh
Vince Carter!!!! way before drake
I said the same shit
+Mr.sowhat That was damn near the same time Vince stuck his entire elbow In the net during the dunk contest.
another victim of the failed american educational system. I was like this kid never heard of the toronto raptors, I know for a fact if he lived in Houston he has to be a rockets fan at some point and saw Tracy mcgrady which is Vince carters cousin- wtf.
"So you took Kidd Kidd off the track"
"Of cou-... yeah" LOL Jas had to hold back
Shout out to the "Party Like a Rock Star" group...
Oh my god no lmao 😂
+Vic Robbins " totally dude!! " lmao 💀
Marcus Shop BOYZ
Yo 😭
“Does he like me?”
- The most drake quote ever
Leave my dawg alone 🤣
Lmaoo
"I'm a J. Prince Investment." -Drake
Smart investment that what make him a great Buisness man
It's a great line
thumbs up if your MySpace page was lit!
i guess there really is a gift with knowing talent and when its time to bring someone up. Even now with the hits, popularity and airwave dominance, im still amazed the concept of a Drake took hold so firmly. The phenomenon is puzzling to me.
Rip to myspace
lol I know right. Facebook is wack Im only on that shit because there is no where else to go.
Mid West create something
ant dolla my shit was trash
The kind of support and belief all us young artists dream about. Keep the faith y'all. N keep improving and putting in the work. Someone's gonna believe in us one day. Bless
MAESTROXITY876 💯
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Much respect for the young prince for giving praise to his pops instead of being gassed up by his own success he is still humble and understanding that his pops made it all happen out the gate
See how he sounds like himself.. now is brother j prince Jr trys way to hard to sound like prince Sr. This one is smooth you can tell he straight up himself.
This guy basically discovered one of the greatest, if not THE greatest artist to ever bless the microphone. Thank You Jas Prince. THANK YOU.
The biggest hip hop artist of 2010s at this point.
iAmDannyG that’s how I feel about the underground artist I manage named fayde who is the next drake
Relax
🤣
no
Stunt Hard is one of the illest tracks since 2008. That hook was fire. Even Kidd Kidd was great on there.
Kidd's verse was trash but stunt hard beat was 🔥🔥🔥
"I ball hard, so I'm a ball hogger,
And I go hard in my dunks like Vince Carter"
Lol
It is man that track goes hard even today
Imagine having discovered one of the worlds biggest artist of all time
just listening to this story brings back hella good ass memories from everything surrounding that time period.
A lot has changed since this interview, and it ain't over yet. RIP Takeoff.
Just getting started
@@jekyllhyde374 RIP TAKEOFF , shits dirrtty in the south
Wrong brother, you talking about j prince Jr
Wayne took his artist, gets 1/3rd of drakes earnings, and he banged jas's girlfriend too. Wayne the boss.
Akshay Kothale 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Swear to god
welp ahahahaha
This interview is unbelievably underrated. One of my favourite ones I think.
This is a very dope story BUT I gotta add... in 2009 I’m a senior in High School all the way in Connecticut and damn near every time you jump in a car at one point someone plays this Drake kid. Lil jimmy from Degrassi. This was pre-Wayne era. Drake had a serious buzz and was bound to EXPLODE soon. Amazing timing by Jas/Wayne.
2009 was not pre Wayne era
I'm watching this to gain inspiration. All you need is one person to believe in you. I remember putting instantly becoming a Drake fan after hearing Best I Ever Had and placing it on my Myspace page. Man, Drake is proof that different is legendary.
You can tell Jas Prince is more in tune with himself. You feel like he’s being genuine. This guy is sincere
Then J. Prince Jr seems to try to hard to be like his father. Tries to make himself like a “mob boss” and even in his way of talking
Jr. Seems to be like he wants to fit in the 5th Ward his fathers home
Fr lol
He most definitely is a wanna be
That 3rd song jas couldn’t think of they recorded was “I can take your girl” With Drake Wayne & Kid kid such an underrated song shit Is fire
How he look young and old at the same time?
😂😂😂😂
Only a dumb fuck would say this
+Anonymous quit bitching
🙊🙊😯😯😂😂😂👌✌
Anonymous probably a grownass man dressing like he's still in High school lol...
I remembered the song "Man of the Year" and "Stunt Hard" we're like the first songs I have ever heard from him. Then So Far Gone came out and I would remember my sister would blast it in her room all the time throughout the summer of that year. Looking back Drake was so much different than where he is now
Forever grateful for Jas Prince. Thank you bro!
Jazz seems cool and humble like his pops. Jr is flamboyant one, cocky and arrogant.
"first time I ever heard of Toronto Canada". Another product of the failed american educational system. Good thing his father is a hip hop mogul.
Ig : kennedy_cubo
No shit.....i know he heard of TORONTO RAPTORS....atleast lol
😂😂😂😂
Thank you 😩😂
Don't nobody give a fuck about no Toronto Raptors, lol. Fuck outta here. And muthafuckas still don't give a fuck about no Canada neither. Drake just got lucky. Him getting discovered is like him hitting the lottery. I mean the got damn Sun, Moon, and everything had to be all aligned, because why the fuck nigga from Houston gonna even think of signing some clown ass dude from Canada. Like that is the most unlikely occurence to happen. Especially at that time. Drake got struck by lightning.
Drake was like "does he like me ? 😳"
I need someone to believe in me like this
BookieDaGreat EST believe in urseld
Funny how Drake's version of this story doesn't include Jas Prince at alll... just him sitting in the barber's chair, Weezy calling him out of no where telling him how he wanted to start Young Money, and flying him out the next day.
Can't tell y'all everything
@@dianelong6886 Nah he def could’ve said it was Jas
Drake has definitely mentioned Jas everytime he talks about this story
Boy that beard is sharp.
“Cause she supported since Hot Beats
Right before Wayne came and got me
Out of the back room where I was rapping with Jas
Over beats that I shouldn't have in the hopes for the glory
He walked right past in the hallway
Three months later, I'm his artist
He probably wouldn't remember that story
But that shit stick with me always
Couldn't believe when he called me

Isn’t this the second part to pound cake lol

Timeless music 🎶
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Spent 4 new Ferrari all on a brand new Bugatti cause it was something to do
Before Jas Prince hooked up with Drake. Dilated People and them cats from Detroit was dealing with Drake 1st. This was around '05 and '06
This goes to show you some people ain’t ready for you if you KNOW you got it keep it moving keep going don’t give up
i remember finding drake on myspace too.. i was like 15 so i couldnt pay for his comback season mixtape he was selling on there for like $10... but glad he got recognized and doing his thing
fun fact: After drake released so far gone many labels were competing for him, he was in the biggest bidding wars ever.
It's a different world when you spent time with different people just for an hour or two, that is how we stay connected
man..I love stories like this!!!
Johnathan Swearengen me too brother
The man behind the legend!!
He had vision & made it happen. Jas is cut from that mega grinding cloth.
He should get a discovery royaltys check especially since Drake is like the biggest rappers out Rn.
I think he recently received 11 million for Drake's success
+champagne veli not enough imo
Thats why hes been suing cashmoney
that's why he sued Birdman but nah the checks come from *Vivendi ══➤Universal Music ══➤ Cash Money (Birdman+Slim) ══➤Young Money (Wayne) ══➤ OVO (Drake) .........and maybe this dude*
lol vivendi the real gangsters in the industry
You know it's a good interview when nobody roast him on his shirt
i like his shirt i was thinking damn where can i buy that shirt
great interview. very insightful. drake impersonation is hilarious😂😂😂👌💯
Daaamnn I can’t believe Wayne thought Drake sucked at first…. Thank God Jas believed in him. I knew Drake would be BIG when I first heard him. He was one of the first rappers to rap and single so well, and make great consistent relatable music. 💯🔥
I hope this man got blessed with a BIG bag cuz he’s the reason we got blessed with drake music🔥it’s been over a decade of straight hits‼️
That part
He is owed like 11 million but i heard it was settled
My Boy Lil Jas even when he was a kid us boys in Almeda Plaza knew he was going to be SPECIAL. kEEP IT GOING A.P.T WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK.....
only here cause drake mention

+Jeremy Soza views was wack I was legit only interested in this vid cause of drake, I'm sure it was the same with u
Looks like he has more sense than his brother
shout out to this dude for taking drake to the next level
That's what I've been saying, that's how people got jacked 4 beats back in the day! The main artist a&r, scouts, fished MySpace for(unknown artist aka regulars), beats, artist, influence, etc.... The ghost writing, jacking 4 beats etc is nothing new, I'm just glad has exposed it finally
Man I love interviews like this. It inspires me so much as a producer. I got beats 👀👀
He seems like he 10 times more intelligent and respectful than his brother!! J prince Jr makes the whole family look bad!!
Facts dude seems like a kool Katt nor Jr 😒
So let's clear this up right now, J Prince didn't discover drake. Anybody who was in high school from 04-08(and you had cable) knows drake from Degrassi, also Trey Songz had the joint with Drake that came out on BET. J prince should be credited for being the bridge that allowed Drake to link up with Wayne at his prime and thats it. Also you can't say Drake is bigger than Wayne because without Wayne there is no Drake. J Prince and Vlad trying to embellish the past like we weren't alive when this ish was happening.
Breeze shut up bitch
That’s what I was thinking like we was literally living this shit that man played no parts in his fame lol
@@tradejackmatt9135 Facts
@@TheBreezus Drake Is bigger than Wayne regardless of who came first he has way more billboard placements and a longer run at the top.
@@preamstream no tf he don’t wtf rock 🪨 u sleeping under man
Hold on, Wayne sold 1 mil in the first week twice! He was huge when he was up.
True but the next album/mixtape Drake drops will go plat plat again
Trev K drake sold a bill first week, mad ting ay
jas is a legend for that. unreal.
what a story. We need a Drake documentary
Michael Pratt fr🥵
You can definitely tell the difference in personalities between j prince Jr and jas. Jas more humble
If drake was signed by anyone but Wayne he would of never got so big Wayne was the biggest artist bigger than drake is right now and hopping on all of them drake songs got a lot of people to start listening to him
Team Eighty6ix I’m sorry bro but drake is now bigger than Wayne was in his prime.. look at the numbers
Mahleik Crawford drake is bigger than Wayne
This guy is the creator of the Idea of Drake
God is creator of course...(G)...😅
"Cause she supported since hot beats, right before Wayne came and got me out of the backroom where I was rapping with Jas over beats that I shouldn't have in the hopes for the glory." 2:46
Glad to see VladTV finally getting more updated people for the time(s) to interview instead of all them guys he used to interview who was barely relevant in their time period. Keep getting more modern day artist and people on the couch please.
The most Blessed Prince ofem All Drake on the 1st Pick 🏆🏆🏆🏆
dude asking the questions sound like the guy from Khan Academy lol 😂😂
That’s drake real friend he the reason y drake famous as a rapper
2:22
A lot of people don't know that's why Drake came In the game paying so much homage to H-Town, and DJ Screw's sound. That's what made me like Drake so much. That November 18th was my shyt. I know eventually he had to grow his sound, but I miss that in his music. I'm still stuck on DJ Screw 🙏🏾, Fat Pat 🙏🏾, the whole SUC, Big Hawk 🙏🏾, Don Ke, Big Pokey, E.S.G., Lil O, Yungstar, Big Moe 🙏🏾, Trae Tha Truth, Paul Wall, Lil Flip, Slim Thug, etc. Rest In Peace to everyone I named that's no longer here with us. That sound is so nostalgic, and I'm still stuck on that same music today. There is not a day that goes by that I don't listen to at least 2 H-Town songs. FRFR
This is easily Vlad's best interview.
Where I was rappin with Jas over beats that I shouldn’t have in all Hopes for the Glory
Seems a lot more respectful than his brother
Jas out the way. Bout his paper. JR the attention seeker.
@@fifthdimensionguru yes what it looks like. I would think a wise .an like j would teaxh his son to be more respectful and humble
watching this again in anticipating of CLB dropping tonight at midnight. I love Drake!
Close your eyes and you'll think it's Omarion talking😂😂😂
Such a respectful young man
drake....''.rapping over beats that i shouldn't have in the hopes of the glory''
lol shit is kinda funny
+Kyle D hell yes man I just listen to that song the other day so that's how I know this dude telling the truth
Lol jas is the smart one. Jr wants to live through his dads old life
Much love from Houston
why is this not at 1 million views!?!?!!?
Did Birdman cut you the check pleighboi. The *Communist-Red-5 Star-Stunna-Bald-Headed-Senior-Citizen* done did put some respek on the Drake with the strapon. belee dat.

lmao cuzzin
thanks to this man I have the pleasure to hear Drake´s music thanks bro to discovered an amazing rapper I love Drizzy.
Damn Lil Wayne said that Drake sucked 😂😂😭
Ironic
It's funny how no one uses MySpace as platform anymore but so many artist have been discovered on there.
Because we have Instagram and Twitter
Ajayi Jackson Name me one music artist, not a hoe who shows off her body that instagram or twitter has made successful? Here it comes....
+YellaBoi The whole new wave.. Kodak, Yatchy, 21 Savage all them I heard FIRST off Twitter
Ajayi Jackson I've never heard of any of those artist. But if they all got successful from making a name from twitter than I salute them. Soulja Boi, Nikki Minaj and Drake are the artist I know who've benefitted from MySpace Successfully. At the end of the day neither platform anyone chooses or gains success from is bad. Salute to you.
The apple fell very far from the tree.
Probably 3 miles smh
Like do niggas really understand the vital role this man played in changing the sound of music? Jaz really doesn't get enough credit. Man literally found the biggest artist of the generation and rarely gets any credit. It's usually Wayne who gets all the credit
This guy is his own man his intelligent comes out first and his love for hip hop
Lmfao @10:18 they way he zoomed in on his face like “did u really just say that?!”😂😂😂
Why is he telling the truth but seem like he's lying ???
It's called embellished!
Well, there are three sides of every story...A, B,... Okay..C your way out..
He's telling the truth. Drake explained it the same way in an interview
