If you’re looking to Drake’s latest video for a clue as to who he is other than an amalgamation of his rap heroes you’re probably going to be disappointed.

  • Fire? Check
  • Stripper? Check
  • Contrived bravado? Check
  • Lil Wayne cameo? Check (although I do understand his appearance, I mean he is a third of the song.)

I’m trying hard to believe this guy is assisting hip hop, considering wocka flocka and momma wocka flocka are working hard to derail all progress, but this shit right here…

Still attempting to withhold judgment. I guess. Not really.

Lol, I like listening to Drake, he’s not bad.  But I can never watch any of his videos.  It’s like his white side takes over as soon as he gets on camera and he starts to trying to convince us that he really is a rapper.  A lot of his verses sound very calm when you listen to them but when you watch him spit them in the video he looks like he’s doing his best King Kong impression…I don’t understand. This dude’s an actor, right…why can’t he act normal in a video?

Top 10 Hottest Rappers in the Game…

My Homeboy Marchaz M. weighed in on his ranking of the hottest rappers of 09 (taken from MTV’s nominees) after I gave my opinion:

“Eventhough Jay isn’t well-liked by America’s youth…is he hot?…the answer is yes. Because of that, I think this will be the first one of these lists that they’ve done in a while in which Wayne wont be in the top 2, bcuz if it is strictly who has been the hottest in 2009 then 1. Drake, 2. Jay, 3. Wayne, 4. Kanye…I’d be willing to bet that’s your top 4. After that I’m confused, because although Fab is one of my favs…I don’t think he’ll be on the list. I don’t think Em should be in the top 10, but he’s a 100% lock to be in there..which means Roth won’t be lol. So I will go with 5. Gucci, 6. Soulja, 7. Em, 8. Cudi, 9. T.I., and 10 will go to Rick Ross or Plies….only because Plies is hot right now, and Ross, credibility issues and all, had tremendous buzz earlier this year.”

Do you agree?
