Drake Wants Better Acting Roles
Friday, May 07 2010 9:06 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan
Just cause he’s in position to be rap’s next superstar doesn’t mean Drake has given up his strong desire to get his thespian on. Too bad Hollywood is frontin’ on son.
“That’s probably my biggest goal is to get back into acting and really pick the right projects. I’ve been reading different scripts but I know what I want to do and what type of project I want to be involved in and I’ve just been getting the typical projects that they’d offer to a new rapper, and it’s like, ehh. That’s not really what I want to do, or how I see myself.”
It’s deeper than Degrassi.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
Wowzers….what…..they don’t believe in edge ups in Canada?
Cocky lil prick think he suddenly to automatically get lead role as Iron Man just cause he got musical hype. not in Hollywood buddy.
And by the way, aren’t you a rapper? Why shouldn’t they give you a rapper roles? SMH @ this kid.
I wish he flops hard (tho he will sell). He gonna sell but i hope it’s not some outrageous #.
Call hate, but my reason for that is to see him humble, or any rapper. I can’t stand prideful people. It is said all prideful ones must fall thus “pride comes before the fall”
lmfao @king jugganott
Haaaa! Rappers went from former drug dealing degenerates to middle-class actors.
NOTHING SAYS JEW MORE THAN DRAKE
Well, do like 50 and fund your own movie, or go back Degrassi, young cornball.
@ Had2DoIt…
I’m just saying…If my shit grew in like Capitan Caveman I would keep a pair in my fugging back pocket at all times. Dude looks like a straight Neanderthal in those picks. Lead Role in a Major movie…..so easy a caveman can do it. WTF Drake….nicca just played ‘em with these pics. Whoever did that shit is wrong. LOL
I guess playing the role of a rapper isn’t as fullfilling as he thought..
Yall bogus as hell for them pics. That nigga look like Andre the Giant nephew or some shit lol
How he gonna carry a serious movie and he can’t even act like he’s seen a pair of titties before?
He acts all the time.
He ACTS like a rapper day in and day out
And am I the only one here that watched degrassi back in the day. I ain’t gon lie from 01 to 05 that was my shit. Then it was jus weird
Don’t believe the hype.. Actor turn rapper, what’s next- zack Morris gonna drop an album. Fuck outta here..
@ bobby broham, u funnny… Oh My God and looked away CLASSIC… lol
^ lmfao…………. Drake sux at acting tho.. he def shud stick to music
Why is the order of posts backwards? The most recent post ends up being first rather than last. Explain rapradar?
Lol, smh @ everyone…..TML June 15th
Lol. I can smell tha hate thru my laptop screen…
go sit back down in your wheelchair homie. u weren’t that great in degrassi and your music is overrated now.
Looks at you fucking haters smh
STOP HATING on this kid! He’s the future of the game. Bi-racal, smart, articulate, talented. This guy is the total package. He’s the guy the program directors across the country will jump to add his songs on their playlists. TRUST me…you want this guy repping Hip-Hop.

lmfao @Rickross “Cocky lil prick think he suddenly to automatically get lead role as IRON MAN.”
^^ hes not the future of shit. seriously. get over that notion.
oooooh shit! lmfao. theres some funny as comments on here. “andre the giants cousin?” lmfao! thats what imma start calling that nigga from now on. hilarious.
@ Greg Simms Jr
Now why would I care if a P.D. adds him to the rotation? They HAVE to add his songs. They don’t have a choice. Believe it or not, the rap game was quite entertaining before Top 40 stations got involved.
not hating but what role is he looking for, a night club singer, fucc acting get bacc to rapping
[...] agents will start calling in…but for now…how picky can he really afford to get? Via: RR Related Posts:LeBron James uses Drake to sign NBA talent to marketing [...]
