On June 21, over 2,600 attendees packed the Proctor’s Theatre for Schenectady High School’s class of 2013. At the 5:30 mark of Jason Pollock’s commencement speech, he gave his interpretation of Drake’s popular phrases, “YOLO”, “No New Friends”, and “Started From The Bottom”.
It’s all about Drake. And with the 4th annual OVO Fest days away, Drizzy delivers the second single from his upcoming album. Nothing Was The Same available Sept 17th.
Buffalo welcomed Lil Wayne at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center last night for his America’s Most Wanted tour. During Tune’s set, he brought out Drake for his “Versace” verse. YMCMB 4 life!
Is all well with OVO and XO? Since Abel parted ways over to Republic the two have been distant, but they reunited in the lab this morning. Both have albums coming, so hopefully we hear the end result soon.
Sorry 2004 2013. The day after J.Cole apologized for his lyric on Drake’s “Jodeci Freestyle”, Drizzy turned to his blog and expressed his regret. He also said that the lyric will be removed.
J.Cole recently found himself on the wrong side of The Anti-Bullying Alliance. On Drake’s song “Jodeci Freestyle”, he spit: “I’m artistic, you niggas is autistic, retarded”.
Four months after the Grammy ceremony, Drake finally received his award for Best Rap Album. He celebrated the moment by taking a shot out of the trophy with his OVO crew. Let’s see if he can double up after Nothing Was The Same drops on September 17th.
Wake the fuck up! Drake just launched a new website which reveals that Nothing Was The Same will be released on 9.17 and we got new tunes to boot. Thank Aubrey now.
After the Miami Heat won the NBA Championship, Drake wanted to celebrate with the team. Unfortunately, he was denied media access into the locker room. Burn. Where your real friends at? Sidebar: Access granted at Club Story via WRE
This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
