Rappers aren't the really rich ones. We all have nice houses with studios and cars, but you need a piece of someone's business to be super wealthy.

There will be days when I walk in an arena and people will cheer and then there might be days when I walk in an arena and people might boo, but it all sounds the same to me because it's all just noise that lets me know that I'm relevant.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote emphasizes the importance of staying focused and recognizing that external opinions, whether positive or negative, are just noise in the pursuit of relevance.
Drake's quote illustrates the dual nature of public perception where both applause and criticism are integral to an artist's journey. He reflects on how both cheers and boos, while seemingly opposite, serve a common purpose in affirming his presence in the industry. Thus, rather than getting swayed by public opinion, he chooses to view all reactions as valuable indicators of his relevance.

If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.
