Drake on “Saturday Night Live”

Sandra Rose October 16, 2011

You still don’t believe Drake is the biggest rap star in the universe right now? Drake was the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” last night. In addition to performing his latest singles “Headlines” and “Make Me Proud” off his upcoming album, the former ‘Degrassi’ star was also featured in comedy skits with Andy Samberg and “Weekend Update” with Jay Pharoah. Drake showed his range as an actor/comedian in a couple of promo skits with SNL cast member Jason Sudeikis.

Drake’s 2nd studio album, Take Care, is due out on November 15.

Watch Drake perform “Make Me Proud” with label mate Nicki Minaj, and all the skits after the break!

Nicki could use a serious dose of energy drink, mixed and served up wit some ‘it factor’. Not a bad concept tho. She found a look that entices both young girls and grown men.

Drake is an excellent performer. Still get ‘soft’ from this dude tho. Like he’ll share his feelings with you and chit.

Drake has really grown on me. It’s not like I didn’t care for him before, I just never paid him that much attention. He seems fun though and actually down to earth

Ms. Everything

@tld I hate onesies on anybody over the age of 2 years but compared to the ish she usually pulls outta her closet the onesie looked good

Cool! Nice Weekend Post. Drake did his thing. Laughed out loud a few times. Nothing seemed forced. Interview w/ Sam was too funny. Drake’s face at the end was hella funny. Good Post.
