Drake fears his generation are "afraid to express themselves".
The Canadian rapper is worried that due to the
impersonal nature of modern communication - such as through internet
blog posts and mobile phone text messages - young people are not going
to grow up knowing how to talk to one another.
He told website Globalgrind.com: "One thing that kills me about my
generation is how everyone is afraid to express themselves because of
certain people.
"It's become a very impersonal world because we all talk to each other
without looking each other in the face or actually speaking on the
phone so it's become very cruel. It's so easy to be cruel when you
don't have say it to someone."
The 'Up All Night' hitmaker found out last week he is nominated for
four Grammy awards, which he said he has been working his way toward
through his entire life so far.
The 24-year-old vocalist added: "It's cliche but it's a dream come true
in the literal sense, that thing you have between sleeping and waking
up thinking about.
"I've been having this dream, I never knew where it was and it never
really specified what the award was, but I knew it was a night I could
let the people know - the people in my life know -how much they have
done with me. To have four opportunities to have that chance is
incredible."
Drake's debut album 'Thank Me Later' is out now.
