Drake Covers Billboard
Drake is the new face of Hip Hop on the latest issue of Billboard, which hits stands May 29th. In related news, “Find Your Love” has rounded out the top 20.
UPDATE: Billboard has the cover story up.
The accolades flatter Drake, but he still feels he isn’t quite there-yet. “That’s the most flattering thing in the world but at the same time, real, legendary status can’t be dictated by the people who are still here witnessing it,” he says. “Legendary status is when the next generation comes up. The kids that are 15 right now and will be going to college in five or six years-if they say, ‘Yo, I remember when Drake came to this school. That’s one of the most legendary shows ever,’ that’s when you’re a legend. I’m young. I’m 23. This is too soon. I really want to grow and be that guy.”
Jew Mafia putting mad money in this kids project……..the will be furious by the results…….rofllllllllllllll……
This will only help the man. Nice. (Crowd applause)
Glad to see a hip hop artist on the cover of the mag. Now bring on the hate…
E_=Jealous fanboy faggot
why hate on a brotha that your girl once slept with?
@BOSS
Niggas Hate so hard on dude like he fucked there mother and got there sister and girl pregnant simultaneously lol.
he is AWAYS on the jay z swag.but is not working 4 him ……..find your own lane DRAKER!!!!!!!
This is gonna be the most anticipated album to flop, why do you think he keeps releasing singles? not one single has made any noise. Tell me, what has he rappd about? He has no story except hes a canadian television actor, then what? that hes down with young money? There is absolutely no hate on my part because i like watching new acts rise to the top but i honestly don’t see a future for Drake in Hip-Hop, mark my words his album will flop. All the money spent trying to shove this guys products through the market is going to waste. His whole album is filled with features, I thought he wanted to make songs that would last? His album mightaswell be a Mixtape with all those features. Certified FLOP.
For those of you who keeps saying things about peoples girls sleeping with dude maybe YOU want to sleep with dude, my girl thinks this nigga is ugly, lol look in the mirror, maybe its you niggas that wanna fuck dude. lol
@culture shock
Fuck outta here dumb ass
Over is already at #14 on the billboards, And Find you love is already at #20 after 1 week. Get the fuck outta here: Made no noise my ass…
Just wait till the numbers drop nigga, certified FLOP till then get his nuts off yo chin.
zzzzZZZZZ
@ Culture Shock I aint saying you gotta like dude. But lets be realistic my nigga. They play a Drake Song on the radio every 10-15 mins. Look at every blog post(100+ comments) each time. Bitches eat him up. Dudes secure with themselves relate to his shit about fucked up relationships. Thugs will buy his shit to hear the Jeezy, Jay and wayne features. Jews will rep this nigga hard cuz he’s …welll Jew. SO tell me how this niggas album gonna flop? He will go gold ATLEAST in a week. No dick riding No Homo just logics….
I’m coppin, but oh my god if this dude only sells 150k lol
I dnt care wat he sells, im koppin’ the album and juss enjoyin’ the music, do ur thing Drizzy, u got ppl rootin’ for u, can’t wait to hear the Francis & The Lights track
Relapse sold 600k (ehh) , Recovery will sell 850k +, Drake will sell if lucky 400k – 500k
You can’t judge sales on Radio play, that stupid bedrock joint was on the radio 24/7 guess what that album FLOPD. As far as the comments go the only reason he gets that much is because of all the back and forth hating going on between J.cole,Eminem,B.OB, Drake stans. LMFAO@ Jews buyin his shit, are you serious? jews dont BUY nothin. You say bitches eat him up but thats only because of the best i ever had joint, what else has he had? nothing. And its only gonna be a few niggas buyin his shit for the emotional bullshit. The features you talkin about can be bought online or Downloaded, don’t expext jeezy and jigga fans buyin his whole album for the features when they can get the single only lol THAT is how this nigga is gonna FLOP.
Come On J.Cole Drake Is In Lead Again . He Got His Bill Board Cover Now…. Damn J.Cole Damn….
J.Cole Please Come With A Better Hook And Give New Orleans Shit Back Please…..
Come On J.Cole
Is rapradar a blog about rap or a blog about eminem? Don’t get me wrong I love em but everytime I read the comments on here the conversation turns to him no matter what the topic of the post is. Just curious?
It’s a blog produced/owned by eminem and his manager. its like the shade45 of hip-hop blogs.
I can’t wait till RapRadar posts “TML Goes Platinum” so i can read all the comments from everyone sayin’ he gon flop, lol, i can’t wait, that shall be entertaining indeed haha
Come On J. Cole i see your bitch ass everywhere.
J Cole is perfecting his album and touring colleges around the country at the moment. he dosn’t have any time or thought for Drake. let him do him
j cole has nothing to do with him. get it throught ypour thick head.
Donn
of course hes gonna go platinum cuz white girls gonna buy the album. you thinks niggas gonna bye it? they bootleg that shit more then anything. all you have to worrying about is how the album is gonna sound and live up to expectations.
Haters wanna turn to their girl and be like, “Who is he?” But I bet a million she tell you that’s motherfuckin’ Drizzy.
Who Dat , Who Dat Drizzy Got That Flame – J.Cole
@Who Dat , Who Dat
LMFAO Yo son you made me laugh out loud here at my office man. HAHAH gonna get a nigga fired!
Since when is selling 500 k a flop ? Lmao this is first album and he’s selling that much. That’s way more than eminems or kanyes debuts. Drake is here to stay..get use to him..he has two hits right now people ( not even counting Unthinkable). He’s not going to flop. Or even come close to it. Y’all wack niggas need to go listen to Papoose or Camron or Vado or some other lame ass never gonna blow mixtape rapper.
Do
Right
And
Kill
Everything
LMAO at the jew mafia

“Because credit crack is wack”
And stop comparing jcole to Drizzy..jcole has barely started. He’s being smart ..he knows this is drakes time..so he’s stepping back and waiting till he can strike. But guranteed by winter jcole will drop and he will have tremendous buzz
3 singles before the album drops and ain’t none of em catch on. truth
Yea thats why he got 2 singles in the top 20 on the billboard hot 100 right? FOH
Yo Hey Blog World. This is J. Cole COLLEEE WORLLD? Wheres my shine? Wheres my hype? Im disapointed I thought blogs were for underground cats on the grind? Who dat WHo dat? Man I hate Drake 🙁
and none of them have broken to top 10. eminem droped Not Afraid and went str8 to number one on itunes you think with a buzz as big as Drakes he would too.
It’s obvious that Universal is manufacturing this.
Drake is going to do a milli. He’ll sell whatever on his own then Cash Money/Universal will buy the rest.
yea but Drake keeps giving his single away for free like a month before its available for digital purchase. Thats his mistake. He needs to stop doing that shit. So its a slower climb to the top 10 for him. But to his side he has way more songs on the top 100 in the past year than Eminem has had in the past 5 years…CHeck me if you dont believe me

Drake is average at best, his flow is boring, his personality is dull, his lyrics are just passable, and how did he pick up his accent growing up in Forest Hill anyway? LOOOOOOOOVVVVVE YOU AUBREY
Damn look at the title. Drake future of Hip-Hop with no question mark behind it.
I thought the public picked who was hot? Guess those days are over huh?
The fix is in. And like E said uptop, they wont get the results they wont. Shit they prolly wont even break even with the promotional push this kid has, you know that stuff aint cheap right?
Heard Hova once spent 20 mil on promo. For Kingdom Come. BP3 had a crazy push also.
Drakes ”Buzz” is manufactured by the market to make money lol
”I’m Smarten up, Open the market up”
Drakes up next , See what he’ll do with it
Clap for em, clap for em, clap for em Hey,
Y’all some of the worst haters ever..damn. Shouldn’t you wish a nigga success ? Either way I wanna see all y’all post a week after tml drops. He’s gonna sell half a million easy ..and I’m going to buy it myself. And stop comparing eminem to drake. Eminem has been in the game ten years man.
No, I’m not a hater, I’m just a realist
drakes so called “buzz” is manufactured by the majors…….to this date do y’all think he achieved the success of “Best I Ever Had” independently ?….lolllllllllllll…u must be outta u mid.
1st of all, a record can’t appear on the airwaves without any investment. 2nd of all, he was already signed to Universal, and they were testing the waters by putting money behind his records before signing him officially.
On June 16th, You all gonna understand that this Dude is just a “FADE”…..peace
Zman i’m not hating just i see things clearly.
you got to realise the truth hurts.
How come there aint ever posts of Me J Cole? Or let alone where the fuck is Luda? Always Drake! I Hate Drake!!! Ruined my career b4 it started JCole 2 Years ago> J cole today
Fad ..you mean …SMH
so your criticizing him for having a number 1 record ? Lmao WTF ? Who cares who helped push. Damn jay z just got his first number one record this year. !! Lol let’s celebrate this man instead of hating. I guess this is why this cd is called THANK ME LATER ..damn
@Johnny
What are you seeing Clearly? Do you not see that half the niggas on this blog actually liek Drake as an artists? Yet you keep theorizing that only bitches like Drake. Please explain to me again what you see so crystal clearly?
it just me or does ol boy strongly resemble a Na’vi right here?
Why can’t we juss wish success for everybody damn, Em is great, Drake is great, Cole is great, all these artist are talented, can’t we support em’ all????? Serioiusly, y’all makin’ me hate hiphop
i’m not caught up in the hype. he hasn’t made that big smash record like In Da Club or Lollipop that everyone was expecting. singles hes released are not on the level on Best I Ever Had either (Thank Kanye West for fukkin up the video ”imma make sure things light skin niggas never come back in style”) Drake caters to that female fan base so he gonna sell regardless cuz they will buy the album no matter how garbage it is. niggas download and bootleg that shit first. all im saying is he hasn’t proved to me all the hype he is getting when all i hear is average joints lately. just my OPINION.
@ E
Can You Please Take 50 Cent Dick I Mean Words Out Of Your Mouth
You Saying The Same Shit 50 Was Saying In The Truck
So Not Cool…… Have Your Own Opinion Not Some Body Else

————————————————————————————————————————————
College Dropout – 2X platinum
The Slim Shady LP – 4x platinum (I don’t count the one he dropped in ’96. That wasn’t on a major.)
You could’ve looked these numbers up yourself, but I guess Drake’s cock and balls are obstructing your viewpoint…
Drake is a part of the machine. Nobody is fucking with the machine.
E5 Global Media and Universal Music Group are nothing to fuck with.
Then with the Viacom / Universal merger you can forget about it.
@bobby brougham
You a stupid dumb fuck ass nigga. Thats how much they sold for the duration that album has been out. No doubt about it TML will earn more that 2 mil for the duration of its shelf life. GTFOHWTBS!
I’m talking about the first week..idiot. Clearly the context of this conversation has been first week numbers. Sorry I forgot to say that dumbass
@Donn
You cant be just throwing that Great title outthere like that.
KRS-1 Is Great, Tupac was Great, Eminem and Jay-Z are Great.
J-Cole is not Great b, neither is Drake.
Damn atleast let this niggas drop some albums and have some longevity before u go calling niggas great. You know?
I’m talking first week numbers ..blind ass hater. Check eminems and kanyes first week numbers ..and let’s compare them to drakes when it’s comes out..smh at you not comprehending the context of this conversation.
Dayum.. The drake posts or eminem posts always get mad comments..
Drake covert Billboard…
Cover: Billboard Mr. Drizzy Drake wird in den USA schon als Superstar gefeiert und das Billboard Magazin erklärt ihn zum „The New Face of Hip-Hop“. Bravo!……
Truly I fuck wit drake.. but can u imagine how the Jews who run the music industry’s ears lit up when they heard this fool had a bar mitzvah
J. Cole >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Drake
Yo I wanna suck Drake’s dick. Yeah I’m a homo!
HE GOT 2 SINGLES OUT AND NONE OF THEM ARE NOT EVEN IN THE TOP 5!!!! THAT’S NOT GOOD FOR SOMEBODY LIKE AUBREY!!!! I MEAN, THEY ALREADY CROWNED THIS HALF NEGRO AS THE NEXT BIG THING!!!! THEY ALREADY PUT THIS DUDE ON A PEDESTAL!!!! HE’S NOT LIVIN’ UP TO THE HYPE!!!! B.O.B ACTUALLY MADE MORE OF AN IMPACT WIT HIS SINGLES!!!! FOR A GUY TO HAVE A BUZZ SUPPOSEDLY LIKE 50 CENT DID (THAT’S WUT THE EXPERTS SAY) HE AIN’T CUTTIN’ IT!!!! POOR AUBREY NOT LIVIN’ UP TO THE HYPE!!!! BABY & WEEZY BETTER OPEN UP THAT BUDGET AND COP A SHIT LOAD OF AUBREY’S ALBUM!!!! HA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Aubrey aint fuckin with D Roc
Lol @Mac
smh…
Do ur thing Drizzy lol
U kno u made an impact when ppl type paragraphs on blogs about how much they dont like u lol, i never understood how ppl cud say they dont like someone but every post they have to type a comment, they click on every new song already pre-determining their opinion, smh, that my friends is a hater
Closet fans, come out already lmao
@Zman I know times are different but Em sold like 6 mill off sslp and he sold 1.7 mill in one week with mmlp…and this is when he FIRST started. You right you can’t compare Em to this nigga because he blows this nigga out the water in sales….hell Em blows Britney Spears out the water damn near. Way more than Eminem or Kanye debuts? You mean in one week? Might wanna check them numbers again. Cause even if the first week wasn’t kind to Em and Kanye they went on to sell hella records!!! Check those numbers again man
@Zman okay so which first week album sales from Eminem are we comparing to Drake’s? sslp (don’t know the first week numbers) mmlp (1.7 mill) Eminem show (over 1 million) Encore (700k) Relapse (650k) Recovery (???) So out of these what numbers will Drake outdo? FOH!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CABjwhwizNk fucking beast
@ Doug
IT’S CALLED FREE SPEECH U DUMMY!!!! WHO THE FUCK ARE U, THE RAPARADAR BLOG POLICE??? HA!!!! SENSITIVE BITCH CRYIN’ CUZ NIGGAS AIN’T FEELIN’ AUBREY!!!! LOL!!!!! STOP WRITIN’ PARAGRAPHS ABOUT NIGGAS WHO HAVE AN OPINION ON AUBREY’S MUSIC!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
You guys need to stop Talking about record sales ????………..
if you turn the TV and watch the Disney Fuckn channel, you will
see everyone of those “Actors” have gone Platinum……. So do they get props too, for selling a mill?
To really be a star you have to move the people… Jay killed the Game with Reasonable doubt back in 96….. But remember all the majors hated it !!! Jay and Dame hustled the streets to get ROC props..
What the “haters” are sayin and I even think Drake is sayin is … Give this Dude Time… It’s too soon to be passin him the crown.. Like his ass grow in the game first….
The problem is the Music game is in so much trouble that they have Hi jacked Drake from the Streets and Pushed him to the top… I mean Kanye was in the Game for YEARS!!!! making hits for underground Mc’s for like 5g’s a pop… If any body is to blame for the Hate Drake gets.. I blame it on the Machine…
Like Jay said….. “Rap Mags try to use my black ass, just to get more cash for ads”
I don’t care if it sells a mil the 1st week, the shit will be wack and a borderline R&B album. The only good songs from the many songs that have leaked is Unforgettable & Fireworks.
Over = Ehh average radio song with no meaning
Find Your Love = Wack as hell and sounds like a leftover from 808 & Heartbreak
Miss Me = Sounds like a track from a mixtape & overall is one of Drake’s worst lyrical tracks EVER!
Fireworks = A good song from the clip that leaked.
Unforgettable = The Drake that needs to come back when he was on that Comeback Season shit.
Shut It Down = A goddamn love making song…A swing and a miss for Mr. Do Right and Kill Everything.
As of what I’ve heard so far from the album Drake gets a C- for the material released and a A+ at selling out. SMH at this guy having a bigger buzz than cats like J.Cole and Jay Electronica.
