It's a Celebration Clap, Clap, Bravo...

I was always skeptical of new comers. My more musically up to date brothers made sure that I was listening to Drake since he first dropped. I always thought it was comical that he was Wheel-chair Jimmy from Degrassi. Everyone else in the rap world seemingly is able to overlook this however and enjoy the man’s music...wait some of you are still unaware of Drake?

First of all the above isn’t a Calvin Klein, Land’s End, or LL Bean Fall 2010 catalog cover.

In case you have been hiding under a rock the size of well…Yoa Ming for the past two years prior to that than you know that the above is Aubrey Graham otherwise known to the world as Drake. The all singing, all acting, all bum-knee having savior of Hip Hop from the cold land to the North known as Canada. We were banging a Drake mixtape about two years ago and we all thought the kid could spit but we had absolutely no idea that the hype would ever approach this level. With three singles on the Billboard charts, THE biggest song of last summer, and a 3 million dollar deal off of ONE mixtape, it is safe to say that Drake probably had a decent rookie year. I don’t even understand the progression of this man’s career right now, he is pretty much bulletproof. Who can freestyle off of a blackberry, wear a pair of Kool-Aid-esq awful fake Jordans, completely bust his ass on stage and still stroll to the number one spot in the game? I can’t wait to see what "Thank Me Later" does just out of sheer disbelief. Shouts to wheelchairs, don’t forget where you came from...Degrassi son.
