Drake wants to be remembered for his music

Rapper Drake has said that he desires to be known as an icon by the present generation and be remembered for his songs in coming years.

This singer and actor also said that his main career goal for his music to stand the test of time and still be remembered.

"I'm a descendent of either Marley (Bob Marley) or Hendrix (Jimi Hendrix). I haven't figured it out cause my story is far from finished," he said while discussing his track "Lord Knows".

"I didn't really say I was the rap Hendrix or Marley, I said I was the descendant. Because I feel like that's what I want to be for this generation: iconic.

"That's the purpose I want to serve on this earth. I want my words to be remembered in 10, 15 years," contactmusic.com has quoted Drake as saying.
