drake

Here goes Drake from his Degrassi days. Why is he hanging out and making music with a sizzurp sipping gang promoting gremliln, seeing how he is a rich biracial kid who grew up acting?

    Oh please, Justin Timberlake was dancing in a boy band 13 years ago with curly platinum blond hair, now he’s all over hip hop music. As if there is anything authentic in hip hop anymore, in the end who cares if he’s some rich kid mixin it up with “gangstas”, hip hop isnt about a story anymore, its about making money. If the kid makes money then whoop dee do.

    Well, Lil Wayne does look like a gremlin. And whats with all that crap on his face. C’mon now. This is what I’m talking about. Sistas love triflin brothas but give them someone that is clean cut, educated, and wants to do right by them, and they toss him to the side until LIL GREMLINS use them up. What happened to love for the gentleman? Wayne is not doing anything for our community as far as making us look better. That is real talk!

    As far as this guy, I don’t know. He’s chasing money I guess. He shouldn’t be around cats like Wayne.

    And a gremlin? Scratch that – that dude is a roach with dreadlocks.RAAAIIIIIID!!!!

    Wayne is tight and Drake is cool, but i just can’t get over this dude singin’ on the June 27th beat…WTF MAN, that’s illegal!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ExquisiteDougla/ ExquisiteDougla

    Okay, okay…settle down people!!! I’m from Toronto, Canada…and I’ll tell you straight…I know good music when I hear it…makes me meditate, wanna smoke a skliff…and have a drink…DRAKE don’t make me do that. In order to hear Jimmy in the wheelchair and possibly dance…I gotta be under the influence of alcohol…club/dancing music…is what it is. Unfortunately it’s eeeediots like like lil’ wayne that invest in this f**kin’ monkey…unfortunately he’s not reppin’ the T-DOT in my opinion and I won’t jump on that ban wagon til’ the death of me.LOL.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lovingme4once/ Lovingme4once

    I personally love Drake (not that that matters to anyone..lol) but, to stay on topic, I think he’s pretty much the same as he was back then. To actually see the glimpse of him as an artist is crazy. To yall who think Canada suck…there are a lot of artist from there, Deborah Cox, lol, and some other folks…hell, if things keep going like they are in the states i’m moving to Canada any, peace out black folks…follow the north star..HA!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ExquisiteDougla/ ExquisiteDougla

    Yeah yeah…Deborah Cox, Tamia, Glenn Lewis, Melanie Fiona, Drake, Kardinal Offishall, Choclair etc…TDOT is getting attention! Not all are getting my attention…like ol’ girl below said…Follow the NORTH STAR to SCREW FACE CAPITAL AS WE CALL IT :P

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LILnettie/ LILnettie

    Love Drakes musica “FEAR” I am on that so m*f*kn hard…. I have more of his ringtones & ringback tones tracks than any other artist at the moment. Wayne is that lava hands down… Do they ever say/promote anything positive on here about these people? “Sizzurp sipping gang promoting gremliln”, I’m guessing you thought that was necessary right..? You said typed that like it was on your chest lol… That was hateration words wow… Above all, KEEP HIM FIRST AND KEEP PUSHIN GUYS..! HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

    Flyo… That’s deeeep… Im not going to get in depth with you… Stop making excuses for yourself, fall back pimpin… His type of women feels his style as will yours… I guess there’s a lot of people lookin for love in all the wrong places…

    Musicians come from all walks of life , its the disperarity of their backgrounds and perpective that make their content interesting. This is why Drake is such a breath of fresh air in hip hop, he brings a different perspective.

    damn!! his house looks like it could already be on cribs. I’m not hate’n though. You dont have to have street cred to be a rapper, you jus have to know how to rap, and he can. dont hate.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kris_87/ Kris_87

    “rich biracial kid”? first of all, that’s not rich, it’s middle class…maybe upper middle class, but middle class regardless. secondly, what does the fact that he’s biracial have to do with anything? damn, if somebody is musically inclined and a talented lyricist, then let them do what the hell they wanna do with it, no matter what race they are. every rapper doesn’t have to be a black azz gangsta who does drugs. to Drake, rapping is about the art…and if he wants to run around with Lil’ Wayne (with whom he shares a similar style) then let him do that! ugh…please quit hatin’ on this boy…he’s talented and that’s all that should matter.

    alot of these rappers wasnt all in the streets like they potray

    dont be fooled lol

    but does it really matter???

    its TALENT thats important

    Drake IMO is just another Zane, slightly better. im sure he’ll become a full time actor in another year or so. he’ll run out of schitt to rap/write about soon.

    you can rap about being on the toilet and running out of toilet paper = platinum

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    @Kris_87 middle class or upper middle class! IDK to many upper middle class people that can afford a 2004 Acura right around the time it came out. Let’s be real moms didn’t bad mouth pops and he stay in Memphis so i’m pretty sure that his fam is loaded. It seems like Pharell should’ve gone after him rather than Lil Wayne since there styles mimic each other rather than Weezy but it is what it is.

    1. Leave his “racial” makeup and socioeconomic status out of it.

    excellent talent

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CXR_Slim/ CXR_Slim

    Drake is the man. I’ll give him his props. He was destined to make it. His pops rolled with Al Green..Music is in him plus if your Grandmother is that cool it only adds to your swag…

    Oh yeah by the way…Weezy and Drake only mimic each others style because Drake writes Wayne’s lyrics…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ace_28/ ace_28

    Way 2 go Drake Drizzy his whole optimistic Ora reminds me of way back when I was just a Juvie knowing all that you had was precious if not to the world but to those that knew you the most. When we look back sometimes it seems that “Nothing Even Matters”; “Can It Be That It Was All So Simple Then”? Now, the whole world knows that light still shines thru darkness no matter what. One Love.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ASLgeek/ ASLgeek

    I’ve been a Degrassi watcher since forever and known of his music since he started rapping on the show and his first mixtape. Just wish I could find the song he did with Melissa McIntyre (Ashley on Degrassi) called Tell Me Lies.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Devin0713/ Devin0713

    they drinkin bottled water and shopping and wen they get old you’ll be dead or in jail. they go home to their 1 wife, nice home, peaceful neighborhood while influencing others to commit crimes and disrespect women. we need to look at rap as a trap sometimes. i’m a little disappointed that someone from a harder struggle is not drizzy. i respect his talent. i’m not hating the talent or him. i ges i just hate the fact that I like it.

    ill give him props…he never came out and said like he was a gangsta or anything like that…he has be going on the clean cut way…NOW once he tries to go past what he actually is then it can be problems because he will get exposed…but for Big ups to Drake AKA Aubrey Graham

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NappyBoy25/ NappyBoy25

    nobody knew how hott this dude was until Wayne gave him a chance,and after everybody turns u down,and tell you,your not good enough,forget about how different we are,what brought us together is much bigger.So I’m glad he’s part of Young Money cause if yall don’t want to give props to Wayne,Nicki,etc.then Drizzy can’t be denied…..and besides Wayne and Drake are LADIES MAN,and birds of a feather…………yall know the rest!!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JMUsFreshest/ JMUsFreshest

    such a overrated rapper…s**t Wayne is too….everybody talkin’ about Drake and Wayne…Wayne is aight but ain’t been feeling him lately….like some of his older s**t lately….but as far as hot rappers are concerned this year…I’m f**kin’ with Jigga Man (Jay-Z for those of you that are slow hahha), JadaKiss (homeboy is one of the realest in the game and hottest spitters in the game), Raekwon’s new Built for the Cuban Link album was hot, Fabolous…etc….but not that Wayne and Drake s**t though..sorry….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsMechelle/ MsMechelle

    What I dont understand is..if this was just another nigga from the block from the streets of NY, ya’ll would be all over him..giving him kudos and buying his album, mixtapes and all..BUT because ya’ll know this dude if from Canada, and b/c he was little wheelchair Jimmy Brooks, then he sucks..he aint go enough street cred and all that.

    Man, miss me with that s**t..talent is talent and the boy got skills. So what if he came from a middle-class family opposed to a lower-class family. Talent knows no social status, income-level or education level. Talent is God given and the boy got it and put it damn good use. I cant even hate.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lilarie08/ lilarie08

    I think he bein fake, on tht show he was coo now tht he out rappin, he over rappin about s**t he never did, i heard a mix tape wit him on it talkin about it was hard out here in the streets for a nigga like me,( fyi he is barely one so he might not wanna say tht too much) and too he grew up f**kin rich, so how is tht livin hard and growin up in the ghetto, u see his f**kin house right there! when he first came out he was coo now, it just seem like he tryin to be like baby and wayne, and he dnt need to do all tht, just be the same person he was before he got with them two!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/D1me_2_ClaSs-3/ D1me_2_ClaSs-3

    ok wow. wtf r ppl hate’n on drake now? so bcuz he had money growing up, hes fake about what he raps about? theres no reason 2 knock another person down because they had a decent life/childhood growing up! & yea, he’s white and black. but so fkn what? in this country, he considered to be a nigga . so calm down with all that sh*t. He’s a very talented person, it doesnt matter where he came from or how much money he has, the point is dude got skills. point blank period.

    respect to drake: who obviously writes his rhymes and more than likely writes waynes rhymes-who supposedly doesn’t write anything down (even though he supposedly smokes alot lol). Didn’t notice, until now, that Drake raps the same in the interview as he does now, while wayne on the other hand, has switched styles and probably ghostwriters.
