SHOUTOUT TO MY HOMIE DRAKE…..KEEP IT UP HOMIE!!
June 18th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Good for him. But does it matter who signed him and to make it a big deal? just the damn record out before people move to the next artist.
June 18th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
all they need to add to Roc Nation now is that kid FUTURE….the boy is on FIRE!!!!…he got a joint with drake called KEEP DREAMING…i heard the shit is crazy!!!
June 18th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
I ment to say to put the record out already.
June 18th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
yea they need to drop that Keep Dreaming record…the version without drake is on youtube…but shoutouts to drake….the boy is doing his thing right now!!!
June 18th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Drake goes hard always……the man is destined for this game
June 18th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Light skin nigga said he was gonna be independent and show the world that you don’t need a big record company to push an album out thanx to the internet. Drake gets more people talking than Billy Northpole and his Def Jam
So Riahnna is up for grabs.
June 18th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
ya FUTURE and DRAKE joint is crazy!!!..hope that goes on his album…”So baby keep dreaming, you’ll never find another me!”…classic shit for you fake ass niggas in the industry
June 18th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Oh boy ! Drake is gonna announce his record deal in 5 day oh man im so excited(sarcasm).
June 18th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
DRAKE IS THE TRUTH!!!
June 18th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
“Light skin nigga said he was gonna be independent and show the world that you don’t need a big record company to push an album out thanx to the internet. ”
HE’S OUT OF HIS FUCKING MIND IF HE SAID THAT
June 18th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
wtf if jay signs him to roc then thats fuckd up, how can a man who always claims that these rappers arent real there all “actors” then sign drake??? Lol.. J.cole tracks simba, grown simba >>> drakes so far gone mixtape
June 18th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Nothing special about this dude.
June 18th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Without a doubt Drake is fiya, but I hope that J. Cole gets the same fanfare. On emceeing he is probably nicer. The Warm Up is insane.
June 18th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
RTNY is thirsty for that interview damn!
June 18th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Gimmemines123 wait..I aint ready yet!
June 18th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
lmao @ “announce his deal”. Im waiting on his new album man!! I fuckz with Drizzy
June 18th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I THINK DRAKE IS GETTING SIGNED TO ROC NATION
June 18th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Drake will be huge thanks to the conglomerate behind him. I like how he raps with Weezy’s flow but his lyrics are thoughtful and clear.
But the above interview is terrible. Sounds liek Drake’s responding on a talkin PC or some shit.
June 19th, 2009 at 12:29 am
Roc Nation though SHIZ@GMAIL.COM? How you figure?
June 19th, 2009 at 6:00 am
Drake wouldn’t even have quarter of his buzz if Wayne never co-signed him, period. I can only imagine how hard Baby and Wayne are tryin to convince Aubrey AKA Wheelchair Jimmy to sign to CashMoney/YM. I guaran-fuckin-tee Baby is going to put up the most money to Drake but I dont think he wants to be signed over to them mothafuckas cause then he gonna end up another Curren$y LMAO!!! Curren$y = Most under-rated rapper of all time
June 19th, 2009 at 6:01 am
But the kid definantly does have….”Presence” on the tracks hes on and you cant buy presence.
June 19th, 2009 at 9:05 am
DRAKE AKA LIL WAYNES GHOSTWRITER FOR ALL U STANS THAT DONT KNOW
June 19th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Chopper Suit Mixtape. Weezy Copy Cat. That skit says it all.
June 19th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
What? Juice Mane, that you? Shit be knockin’ in the club lol
June 19th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
A…ok!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
The Smartest Move For Drake Would Be Signing With Kanye’s G.O.O.D.Music Label….
That’s Where He Really Belongs With Big Sean,Kid Cudi,John Legend,GLC,Consequence,Common And Kanye West…
If You Ask Me…That Would Be The New ROC For The Future…All The Talent Is There…Kanye Got The Beats…I Mean Who Better…
Drake Doesn’t Really Go With Cash Money….I Don’t Think Roc Nation Is Good Either…Def Jam Is Fallin Off Thanks To Dj Khaled And The Terrible Management Over There…Interscope Is The King Of Fucking Over Labels…Shady Records…Ehhh….His Style Is Far Different With Them….He On That Lovey Dovey Flashing Fly Swag Shit…Em & Them On The Kill You,Battle Rap Don’t Fuck With Us Type Shit…It’ll Never Happen…
So I Hope Kanye Threw Him A Good Deal And He Jumped On It….
June 19th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
DRAKE SHOULD SIGHN WITH( KOCH RECORDS)FORMANLEY KNOWN AS E1!!!!!!!
June 19th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Drake should sign with “raping you records” <- The Lox [we are the streets]
June 19th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
