Drake Dumping Massive Condos Featured in “I’m On One” Video
The real estate market is still in a slump, so why would Canadian rapper Drake drop almost $2 mil on luxury condos in Miami? Probably because he believed the real estate broker’s pitch that the housing market was hot again, and his 2 investment properties would increase in value.
Now Drake is trying to cut his losses, and he hopes one of you will love him enough to want to tattoo his name on your forehead take his 2 condos off his hands.
According to TMZ.com:
Drake put the properties up for sale last week — located right next door to each other in Miami’s ritzy Marquis highrise — listing one for $1.9 million and the other for $599,000. Drake combined the two into one MASSIVE condo, and lived in both simultaneously.
The larger one is a sprawling 3,800 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The “smaller” one-bedroom condo is still gigantic … at 1,675 square feet.
Drake purchased the properties together in January 2011 for a combined price of $1.903 million. So, if Drake gets his asking price … he’ll make $596,000 in profit (even though no one ever gets their asking price).
Asian Girl transforms herself into rapper Drake
What kind of girl would want to look like Canadian rapper Drake? Answer: a feminine, girly girl, of course!
This Asian chick takes the makeup video tutorials to a new level by teaching you how to transform yourself into the Emo rapper.
It seems chicks can’t get enough of Aubrey Graham — maybe because he reminds them so much of themselves?
One mentally disturbed woman even went so far as to have Drake’s name tattooed, in big block letters, on her forehead so that everyone would know who was constantly on her mind.
We don’t understand the physical attraction to Drake who resembles a light-skinned Shrek. But we LOVE his music.

Common – Stay Schemin’ (Remix) ft. Drake, Rick Ross, French Montana & Beyonce
Supposedly, all of this beefing between two grown men — rap god Drake and lyricist Common — is over Serena Williams, whom both rappers are rumored to have tapped in the past. Since discovering they both had something in common (pun intended), the two men low key dissed each other on mixtapes and interviews.
Then Common dropped his single “Sweet” back in November. And with lyrics about “soft MCs” it wasn’t a stretch to figure out who he was referring to.
Then Drake responded with a soft lyrical lob on Rick Ross’ track “Stay Schemin” off his Rich Forever mixtape (“It bothers me when the gods get to actin’ like the broads”). But if there was any question about Drake’s intended target, Common left no such doubts. He remixed “Stay Schemin” leaving Drake’s verse intact. But he Photoshopped the single’s cover with the words “That Hoe Ass Nigg%” where Drake’s name was.
- Don’t do it, ’cause every song you make Joe is really hoe music
I heard you said you wasn’t a bitch ’cause you sing
You a bitch ’cause you clean like the bitch that’s 18
Can’t say my name but rap about a nigga’s wife
You so black and white trying to live a nigga’s life
I’m taking too long wit this amateur guy
You ain’t wettin’ nobody, nigga
You Canada Dry

I love Drake like my son, but Common won this round. I mean, if you’re going to catch a body, let it be over a real hottie like Dania Ramirez, not a badly built broad who’s loaded up on steroids. 
Drake’s dad encouraged him to use that “beautiful voice” (video)
Why is it that certain men only come around when their sons hit the big time? Canadian rapper Aubrey “Drake” Graham’s dad, Dennis Graham, used to be a drummer for Jerry Lee Lewis. But now Drake is a big star in his own right. And now Drake has trust issues with women because his dad wasn’t around during his formative years (between 2 and 6).
“They love your son — man, that boy gone,” Drake sings forlornly in his track “Look What You’ve Done” off his 2nd studio album, Take Care.
Boys need a father figure in their lives while they’re young — not when they’re grown with bank accounts of their own.
The money and the fame only makes Drake’s trust issues deepen. He can afford to fly women into town to remind him that he’s not his dad. Then he flies them back out quickly so he can bond with his boys, who he thinks can provide the love that he’s missing.
- And Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gon’ pay it
Those my brothers
I ain’t even gotta say it
That’s just something they know
Drake’s dad, oblivious to his failings in his son’s life, is embracing his newfound fame with gusto. In a recent interview, Dennis, aka Papa Drake, says he encouraged his son to not only rap but to use “that beautiful voice” to sing.
Maybe that helps explain why the caged rapper sings?
Drake’s Take Care Drops Tomorrow
Complex magazine Staff Writer Damien Scott recently spent a few days embedded with rapper Drake and the OVO crew in Toronto for a cover feature in the December 2011/January 2012 issue.
Aubrey Drake Graham, 25, finds it difficult adjusting to fame as rap’s premiere lyricist. If Drake’s detractors aren’t knocking his emo rapping, they’re mocking him for acting tough in his music videos.
“They nitpick at everything,” he says, shaking his head.
“I stand 6’2″. By no means am I the most threatening guy in the rap game, but there are very few people who will come up and say that shit to me in person. It’s always all smiles. That’s one thing I do not fear, anyone in this game. Nobody. Especially none of these guys that are paid to talk shit.” Source
Drake’s sophomore album Take Care officially drops tomorrow. The album leaked online last week, and so far the reception has been lukewarm.
Drake has high hopes for his sophomore set, but others in the music industry don’t share his enthusiasm.
“I think he’s going to catch a brick this time,” said a top recording executive who asked to remain anonymous. “He’s talented but he’s missing something.”
This album is going to set him back a little bit,” said the exec, echoing the sentiment of many who have already heard the CD’s moody R&B-heavy tracks.
Drake ft. Rihanna – Take Care
*I guess I have to remind you bloggers again that the picture above of Rihanna and Drake is Photoshopped.*
Drake’s much anticipated album, Take Care, leaked over the weekend. The title cut, “Take Care”, featuring Rihanna it is something of a disappointment.
Drake tweeted a message pretending not to be aware that the album is all over the Internet. Or maybe his camp leaked it.
“I am not sure if the album leaked. But if it did thank god it doesn’t happen a month early anymore. Listen, enjoy it, buy it if you like it…and take care until next time.”
Meanwhile, Rihanna, who is recovered from her bout with alcohol poisoning in Sweden where the alcohol content of liquor is much more potent than in America, tweeted pics of herself and her staff choosing album song tracks for her upcoming album. If you’re into album track listing (I’m not sure why anyone cares about song names), the list is below the cut.
