DRAKE...not sure about this guy

Ok so there has been a lot of hype about "Drizzy" I mean Drake. lol
I downloaded his mixtape to give a chance and I must say that he has some hot verses , dude has skill no doubt.

However he interviews like a total cornball...check this shit he did with peter rosenberg
(now granted Ive seen peter rosenberg in action and he can really throw cats off...((I saw him bother pharoah monche super inappropriately a few years back at CMJ)) I'm just sayin...



Also if that wasnt bad enough...I have a hard time taking someone from a teeny bop tv show seriously as that next big thing...i dunno. I int gonna say he aint good , but i know a lot of cats that are good that dont get any kind of commercial success. I guess what im trying to say is acts like "drizzy" basically expose this rap shit for what it is. Politics and Bullshit. Yeah dude can rhyme, and sing. Cool. But the acting school and all that tv bread to be a kid star shit is a little suspect to me, in terms of just handing him the next new dude seat.

The game is fucked up...heres some bio info on drizzy in case you need to know

Aubrey "Drake" Graham Bka Drizzy


Aubrey Graham


as Jimmy Brooks

Aubrey returns to Degrassi: The Next Generation for an eighth season as Jimmy. The Toronto native's film and television credits include lead roles in Blue Murder, Soul Food and Conviction.

In addition, Aubrey has also done numerous commercial spots for GMC, Sears and Toys 'R Us among others.

He has trained with Young People's Theatre and the Showtime summer workshops. Aubrey was a 2003 nominee and the 2002 winner of a Young Artist Award for Best Ensemble Actor in a TV Series for Degrassi.

Aubrey also has a thriving hip hop career recording under the name "Drake", which includes opening for Nelly Furtado. His first video, entitled "Replacement Girl" aired on BET's 106 & Park in the summer of 2007.

Aubrey is currently working on his music career and working with some of the world's top music producers and engineers.

His Character: Jimmy Brooks

Jimmy's still all heart, open-minded and a good friend but he hasn't been sure of himself since the school shooting left him in a wheelchair.

He spent a lot of time rebuilding his past life only to find out it wasn't what he wanted so he quit the band and basketball.

He developed his artistic side (while developing an unrequited crush on Ellie which cost him his relationship with Hazel) and even found it in his heart to forgive Spinner.

At the crossroads of who he was and who he wants to be, Jimmy knows one thing's for sure -- he's not going to be known as "the guy in the wheelchair".

Coming back to pick up a couple of courses at Degrassi will give him the time he needs to figure out life after high school, rekindle a friendship with Spinner and navigate the challenges of a more grown-up relationship with Ashley.
