GUESS WHO: WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG
Wednesday, August 12, 2009

It’s Aubrey “Drake” Graham!! The 22 year-old rapper/actor is rap’s new shining star. Here he is on the set of the new video for the song he did with singer Trey Songz, entitled, “Successful”.
Drake is currently finalized his debut album, Thank Me Later, which is set to hit stores at the end of the year.
Shout out to Mercedes for sending in the baby pic!
Got any baby photos of black celebrities? Send in an email, so we can post them up on the site.

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 /
I think he is just an average rapper…They were promoting him like he was unique, the next great thing, and skillful. he turned out be somewhat disappointing.. His material sounds like something LiL Wayne handed him…

Another easy one. You can look at that picture a mile away and tell its him.

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 /
I’ve seen this pic before so it was more than an easy guess. Drake is a bit overrated but i don’t see how that’s his fault. It’s just the way the industry is these day. Everything that’s hot at the moment is super hyped up. They build you up so high, and then when you aren’t as hot as they thought, pull the weight from underneath and you free-fall fast on your ass. So he better pray his debut album is good or he’ll be dropped faster than he can say “Jimmy Brooks got shot in the tenth grade and spent the rest of his high school career in a wheelchair”. lol

Thought swizz beats at 1st look. I was wrong, something about the name aubrey I love…always have…love the ‘09 come up song, “successful” loves it! But I think my lyrics would suit better, didn’t really get the part about his mother…

Drakes mixtape sht is going to be wayy better than his album. For those of you who say he’s ordinary, you’re probably only saying that becus you’ve heard the sht they play on the radio. I’m tellin you, once an artist goes mainstream, no turnin back. Look at wayne.. Mixtape material is wayy better than the auto tune garbage he puts out on the radio. Drake is not over rated, give lyricists the credit they deserve.. He’s definitely not a JayZ, but can he live? Dam ppl ease up.
98.
Chrystel
Thursday, August 13, 2009 /
Could it be anymore obvious. Excited to hear his album. but worried lots of people are already over him. Support the young guy. He’s one of the most talented artist to come out in a while. A lot of his music actually speaks to people. And the only thing that i think is messing him up the radio. Cause damn! i could listen to best i ever had a million times on my ipod, and never get sick of it. But its something about the radio that just kills it! Its like being made to do something over, and over, and over, and over, and over again!

Thursday, August 13, 2009 /
He was a cutie. Not so much now. Dang, he’s Jewish? Ew. I’m one of the many people that is also “over him”, dude has NO skills whatsoever, he is average at best. If Drake was so skillful, he wouldn’t need all these celebs to be co-signing him..I mean dayum! Every other day, some celeb is saying how talented and unique he is..and blah blah..if he’s great, let his music do the co-signing!
103.
