Hip-Hop Artist Drake Unplugged with Katie Couric

Drake, a soft-spoken, Toronto-born child actor, who starred for eight years in television's "Degrassi: The Next Generation," admits he couldn't be more different from his mentor Lil' Wayne...a self-described 'gangsta' with face tattoos and dreads. And that difference is exactly what Drake remembers about one of Lil Wayne's first pieces of advice.

"Man, please be yourself," Drake recalls Lil Wayne telling him.

"Please don't ever try and be me or anybody else."
