JUST A THOUGHT
ON SAT NIGHT I WENT AND CHECKED DRAKE OUT AT THE LOFT HERE IN ATL. I HEARD HIM ON THE RADIO TALKING EARLIER ABOUT HOW HE WAS WAITING TO DO HIS DEAL UNTIL HE DID EVERYTHING HE PLANNED TO DO WITH THE MIXTAPE. IT WAS SO REFRESHING TO HEAR A YOUNG NIGGA TALK LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT SHOWS HE WANTS A LONG CAREER AND SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO GET IT. A WELL THOUGHT OUT PLAN IS VERY IMPORTANT THESE DAYS SPECIALLY WHEN NONE OF THE LABELS KNOW HOW TO CREATE THERE OWN CONTENT. SO FOR HIM TO TAKE THAT STAND IS 2 STEPS IN A NEW DIRECTION. ANYWAY THE CROWD WAS SINGING ALL THE SONGS. HE WAS THEN JOINED BY SONGZ 00711 AND THEY PERFORMED “SUCCESSFUL” RIGHT BEFORE HE TORE IT DOWN WITH “YOUR THE BEST.” THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT HIM IS THAT ALL THE YOUNG KIDS ARE GOING APE SHIT OVER HIM BUT THE OLDER PEOPLE AIN’T REALLY HIP. DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE 25 AND OLDER DON’T DO MIXTAPES??
I am really loving Drake, just got on him because all my New York and D.C. fam talking bout him non-stop. I was walking by Walters in downtown Atlanta and dude sold me that Drake.. I have been non stop listening to him daily everyday since. I did not even realize I had already been listening to him from the Lil Wayne mixtape The Weezy Effect.
I am 27 and got to admit I aint up on mixtapes as a female, but my guy friends around me usually put me on.
YEah he going to be in the ATX tonight def going to check him out @ sprios…
Well I’m 25 and up and loving Drake right now. I’ll definitely be in attendance at his Chicago HOB show…too excited. I think the mixtape deal with the 25 and up crowd is kinna hard to do. When you get to a certain age and u don’t have the time sit back, enjoy the roses, and browse the internet for new music instead of working and taking care of life’s businesses constantly, u lose out on the chance to discover new music. I can say when I was in my teens and maybe early 20′s, I could name any artist any song that came on the radio within 5 secs of it playing. I’ll definitely say my ex-husband who had a lil more time on his hands has put me up on music a whole lot more over the years…oh well…gotta find a new “put-on” now…lol…
i think 25 is kinda young… but i mean the tape released online… so i guess if ur not on that wave… or on twitter following damn near every celeb in the industry (who tweeted abt it forever) then u missed it. and if u didnt hear replacement girl– think it was trey songz alone then find out it was some ninja named drake and go to his myspace… which was like what 2 ys ago… then u prob missed it too.
he has a line about people slow to catch on to his shit… too bad i cant think of it.
yo jd when you gonna snatch up a artist from the eastcoast my dude check my page myspace/kstarks133 stay up homey
Aubrey Drake Graham I’ve been on him since his 1st mixt-tape “Room for Improvement” the boy is so tight, I was nervous for him to go mainstream because people sell out sometimes, but I think he is a great edition to the rap game right now. I was shocked the boy from Degrassi was rappin better then most that are out right now… ATF all things fresh
I’ve been hooked on Drake since he was “Jimmy” on “Degrassi” lol… For real though he does have some serious skills that people slept on for awhile since he’s been such a teeny bopper heartthrob for so long. I think he’s goin about it all the right way. Not many artists can be so humble and true to there craft. We he does sign a deal i know he’s gonna blow up.
