Deciphering the possible meaning of Jimmy Cooks
jimmy cooks from Drake’s latest album features 21 Savage.
Although Drake did not explicitly speak about jimmy cooks or what the name of the track might mean, Genius notes that the song “dives into Drake’s professional journey and references the rapper’s debut as an actor on the Canadian television show, Degrassi.“
For the uninitiated, the rapper starred as Jimmy Brooks on the show for nearly a decade before fully focusing on music.
As for the use of Cooks, besides the fact that it rhymes with his character name “Brooks”, Drake sings about giving up his life in a “dovecote” to become a “night owl”, which is perhaps a reference to the past when he juggled between playing during the day and practicing music at night.
Another set of lyrics read, “The more ambition I cook on a stove,” which may be a reference to Drake’s transition from acting to music.
