Drake Gives Back To Jamaica
Drake donated a heap of money—well, $25,000 to be exact, to help fund the “Drake and Mavado Peace Center” in Cassava Piece, Jamaica. Drizzy shot his video, “Find Your Love” on the island last April, but was panned by the tourism board for its imagery. He told local newspaper, The Jamaica Star:
“I had a great time when I was in Jamaica and the people of Cassava Piece showed me a lot of love. I just wanted to show back some love by helping out with Mavado’s project on the Gullyside. It’s a very positive move and something I am very happy to be a part of. Education is the key to life so to be able to assist in that process is very fulfilling.”
Big up! Mavdao, a Cassava Piece native said he was thankful for the donation.
“We’re grateful for his contribution, it’s a great gesture, he is not even a Jamaican, so for him to do dis and help build a foundation of knowledge and learning in our community is, yuh nuh, appreciated. Odda successful Jamaicans should tek a leaf out of Drake’s book and gi back to di communities from weh dem born and grow.
heads up: mtd
now who was the nigga tryna ban the video for portraying Jamaica in a negative light? ….right. put your foot in your mouth, b.
anyway good look to drake and mavado for making noteworthy moves. (here’s hoping that school is chartered and won’t be some eurocentric, westernized institution of lies and brainwashing).
THIS R&B SINGER SHOULD MAKE AN R&B ALBUM! LEAVE ALONE HIP-HOP! J. COLE IS COMING!

Drake was always a singer just like Lauryn Hill but it just so happens that they could rap tpp but unlike The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill which was a classic or Man on the Moon or The Love Below or The Adventures of Bobby Ray Drake actually had a nice balance between his 808’s R & B tracks and Rap tracks plus if people actually listened to the album they would know this. I see many haters complaining about him singing and then they turn their heads and start praising Lauryn, B.o.B., Kid Cudi, Andre 3000, Mos Def, and Nate Dogg. Hip Hop is growing and now as you can see there’s Hip Hop songs with melodies and for the peoplewho obviously going to attack me well I’m just speaking truth, no hate just love. I stop drinking hatorade along time ago and now all I see is FIREWORKS!
haha i love money, makes everything so right.
ANDRÉ 3000, LAURYN HILL, MOS DEF ARE TALENTED RAPPERS! DRAKE JUST CAN’T RAP WELL! HE SHOULD TURN TO R&B!
YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!
@K.o.D
Get a life nigga… Drake has been singing since before So Far Gone. That is HIS style. People actually appreciate the way he blends rap and singing. So pop off and quit hating. Faggot

[…] Two weeks ago Drake gave Mavado his contribution and since then construction has started in Cassava Piece. Jones-Griffith added: “Obviously it’s going to take more than what Drake gave so Mavado has contributed to it and pledges to put more towards it.” Tentatively the name for the library is ‘Drake and Mavado Peace Center’. MTD x RR […]
@Ultrakid
actually, Lauryn Hill is indistinguishable, singing and rapping, talent wise. she was a BEAST on the mic, and if you’ve heard the fugees first two albums, you’d know she did a lot more singing. The Miseducation is un-genre defined. L-Boogie was just an alien. Andre 3000 is another alien… and truth be told you just can’t throw Drake in a pile with the likes of L and 3k. personally i’d rather hear the nigga sing (even though he can’t, REALLY, without extensive studio effect) than rap. his flow is one dimensional and he’s suffering in the content category. (once again, a reason why you can’t compare him to L and 3k, ESPECIALLY 3k). Nate Dogg only sang, Kid Cudi ain’t a rapper or a singer, Bobby Ray does both but these niggas are rookies. b.o.b AND cudi. and furthermore, maybe the same niggas that dislike drake dislike b.o.b and cudi… maybe they don’t. so what? just cuz they do the same thing (so-called rap and sing) doesn’t mean you gotta like EVERY SINGLE HALF RAP HALF SINGING ASS NIGGA ALIVE. right? of course.
and this thread is a about education and charity. shame on me for entertaining the diversion. now back to your regularly scheduled program*
Nuff respect to Drake on this !!! Toronto’s foundation of an urban scene has always been Jamaican Dancehall. He doesn’t have to be Jamaican coming from Toronto as he was raised in the culture regardless. Now that’s a good look kid!
