YOU SENT IT IN: DRAKE PERFORMS AT NCCU

Friday, April 24, 2009

Up and coming Rapper/Singer Drake performed in North Carolina on Thursday night and CL reader, Roddrick sent in some pics and a recap. Check it out:

Drizzy Drake performs at the North Carolina Central University’s Ed Hardy Fashion show in Durham, N.C. His fan base has reached far and wide from Toronto Canada all the way through the South.

He was able to draw fans from all over the triangle. He was a really cool artist because many artist will not do shows over here, especially when he could have went to UNC-Chapel Hill or Duke.

Drake released his VERY POPULAR mixtape, So Far Gone, earlier this year and is now dubbed the next great rapper. He is currently working on his first official album and touring all summer. Peep his myspace for all the dates.

He is so fine, it has been a while since I thought a rapper was sexy, also I love that he sings.

Why you gotta be anonymous??

Drake is what’s up!! My BFF got me into his music and I laughed, danced, and sang to his ish. Im ready for him to hit the scenes because his style is not mediocre like most, if not all rappers out there now. I just get tired of hearing about how much money they have, and how much yey they slang, and that they ‘gangsta’ with so much ’swag’. Sometimes even hearing about them rap about ‘bitches and hoes’ can be annoying because I’ve heard it all before!

Drakes performance brought in many different listerners who never even heard of the guy.He had the entire crowd getting into the vibe and sound of his music and talent. Once the track “It’s Okay” came on,everyone was hype & reciting the lyrics. It was a good look for Drizzy to come through NCCU. we appreciate it greatly.much love to the CL family.

I have heard Drake’s mixtape and it is good. He does seem to be a good rapper and singer, plus he can act his ass off. Triple threat- Go Drake

Hell everyone has said what I was gonna say. Hands down him and Jay-Z are my top 2. Wayne was on-point putting Drake on his label. I can honestly say Drake is saving what’s left of Wayne’s career right now. My opinion (please don’t shoot)

31.

@ #3. Drake’s not signed to Young Money. In his own words “He’s Young Money affiliated.” He’s in the process of signing to another reputable label which he has yet to declare.

I love this dude.

@ #10. Will be on your site today!

Listening to Comeback Season right now!

I have no doubt Drake will be huge, for one he is so talented more talented than alot of these rappers. Also he has cross over appeal. He will have a bigger audience than most other rappers.

I was there!!! he did a nice job for a beginner, and on top of that he we extremely polite and thankful. I rock with drake all day everyday!!! he just needs more songs with only him on them… its hard to do a concert when you mostly have verses/hooks on other ppls songs who aren’t on stage with you lol

OKOK, DUNNOE DRAKE! Doing bigggg things for Toronto, he’s holding us down. Honestly Aubrey has been the shit since day 1. Hes talented, he’s humble, he puts on for his city, he’s perfection. He has already blown up and now the sky is the limit. So Far Gone is a dope tape,I love Best I ever had (check Priscilla Renaes rendition), Succesful, Say whats real, etc. We’ve got major talent in Toronto and he has just opened up the doors. Seriously, hes amazing.

Drake is hot!!! Replacement Girl was the first track I heard and was hooked. I started look’n this cat up and found he had other cuts and was like Whoa! Comeback Season is FIRE!! Closer is my ish…nice flow, Man of the Year is hot! Up and coming look out fresh styles takin’ over. We need diversity like this back in our music game…Not everyone can appreciate good artists when they come along; if they’re different it’s not right. Look out for Drake makin’ BIG moves.
