Question of the Day: Why Do So Many People Love Drake?

Posted on June 20th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

Drake

Alright, we kind of like this nicca too, we’ll admit. But, we do wonder why he seems to have a golden touch right now. He’s slated to have Ye, Jigga and Weezy on his album, along with folks predicting that his album sales will be through the roof. Chicks are fed-exing panties and veteran artists are co-signing on his success. So we ask, what is it about this wealthy vanilla kid from Toronto that has the industry buzzing? Why do so many people love Drake?

Discuss.

  • OCAPKID AKA MR HAITI

    @ T.O’sOwn we been standing… finally someone from TORONTO is gonna get on!

  • Honey Beauty

    I think his talent has a lot to do with it. When I first heard his latest song, I thought he sounded like a mixture of Kanye and Lil’ Wayne. That’s how I noticed him.

    Also, his lyrics and delivery are top notch.

    But then again, some people may like him simply because he plays Jimmy in Degrassi. I guess it just depends of who you ask.

  • Honey Beauty

    I guess it just depends *on* who you ask.

    I hate typos. :)

  • Honey Beauty

    @ Aquarela

    I see you’re not a T-pain fan. Lol.

  • hmpf

    I don’t think he’s cute. But his lyrics are thoughtful and witty. His wordplay is ingenious and he’s just now hitting the scene. He reminds me of the rappers back in the day who spit lyrics that make you wonder.

  • http://bossip.com Shawn Never Settles

    I have been seeing him a lot lately but I have not listened to his music. Ima’ have to check it out. He is cute but his dome is a little thick towards the back…lol

  • http://www.bossip.com jjj / Proud Jamaican

    I have no idea why people like him… I wish he would disappear.

  • EvieE

    Cause he’s Jimmy Brooks.

  • http://yahoo.com KIA SAID:

    CUZ DRAKE IS THE TRUTH! IT’S LIKE HE SAID IN SONG WITH JEEZY AND LIL WAYNE “I GIVE YOU THE BUSINESS, SO BUTTON UP YO SHIRT STRAIGHT!” I LOVE HIS MUSIC AND THE SONG WITH HIM AND TREY SONGZ IS MY SHIT! WHEN THAT ALBUM DROPS I’M GRABBING IT!

  • I iUv hIp HoP

    @ d-town
    Agreed!

  • PRPPLE, just call me TADOW

    It may just be me but just like lil wayne Drake is real gimmicky.

  • Vera2

    I think he’s a breath of fresh air. A new guy on the scene. Whose just rapping about whats on his mind. NOt going for the publicity stunts w/ his lyrics.. or the Beef. he’s letting his songs speak for him. And people respect that. I know i do.

  • http://Kalleigh@yahoo.com Can’t Feel

    NOT IMPRESSED… He’s a mixture of Ye and Wayne, we don’t need another. Come again

  • TRUTOALL

    He’s a cornball. HIP HOP IS DEAD!!! I REPEAT HIP HOP IS DEAD!!!

  • What???

    I thgt he was good w/ h used to rap on Degrassi….Go Jimmy Brookes.

    But he is a breath of fresh air from all these whacked out MC’s

  • Sood

    LMAO at the the poster saying it’s because he’s jewish

  • msz_rockstar

    wow..lol @ question..

MAN!!!!!!!!!!!..lol

    he the damn truth right now..

  • Ok…

    Not impressed

  • Giants13

    I wanted to see what all the “hooplah” was surrounding this dude. I scooped up a mix tape, blocked out the beats and just listened. The dude is a spitter, plain and simple. In my opinion, its a mix of chi-town ye, dirty south weezy and east coast young nas. To reiterate, “young nas”!

  • http://myspace.com/870bg bg (I don’t always drink beer,but when I do I prefer O.E.)

    @ giants13
    I see you know how to truly listen and rate an artist!

  • The Third Eye

    Honestly, I like him and his music. I don’t love him and his music. I’m not THAT IMPRESSED. He’s talented, but not phenominal.

  • A

    lol @ whoa

    I think he’s overrated and he’s not the Jesus of rap. If he was such a great lyricist then howcome the greater lyricist Nas dont get any attention like that.

  • JRa

    hes a good rapper, not the greatest. very overrated. it seems like he took over the radio but wont be in that spot for long.

  • Ike

    If people would just take a step back and clear your minds. And open your ears and then your mind. Maybe you can appreciate other art forms of life in general. Then you might be able to understand what’s your place in life. And then maybe you would respect other people and their artforms. LIVE,LAUGH, AND LOVE.

  • Jam23

    1. He already had a fan base from his tv show
    2. He had his own money to pay artist for duets and studio time (Wayne, Trey songs).
    3.He stayed focused
    4.He has famous relatives.
    5.He’s smarter then most rappers out there which reflects in his raps. (Gangsta fools are a dyeing breed)
    6. He’s light skin so he gives people that feel good feeling (Obama)
    7.No how to talk with people when being interviewed (case in point Angie)
    8.Girls of every age group love from tweens to mothers.
    9. Jigga and Kanye and Wayne all cosigned him the 3 biggest heavyweights in the game.
    10. Wait for it … It’s the most important … He’s JEWISH so the door has been held wide open for him.
    These are Drakes 10 crack commandments to stardom!!!!!
    I’m from the dot and I saw this happening from 4 years ago, people wouldn’t listen in the dot when I would tell people he was the next one. Who’s laughing now! lol! Do your thing Drake, I can’t hate, wish I could but really I can’t.

  • untouchpuertorocNYC

    I think he has a buzz because of sites like this and Ye, Weezy and Jay trying to create and market the next great rapper!

    To be honest, I think he’s nice, but a lil’ overrated if you ask me!

  • [S]pade

    Drake’s that dude bottom line. And its crazy because he’s been around T.O since like 06-07. Ive been listening to dude. Its just that he became main stream in 09. He has the “buzz” because he isnt stupid like many other artist that just sign deals and do all sorts of shit. He’s very smart and business savy.

  • facefacts

    I love him cuz his sound is different…he is not cute AT ALL!!!

  • YorkieLover

    OMG!! Are you kidding me…I know I saw him on TV…I guess anybody can be a rapper these days,as long as you have a certain look that can manipulated…just like singers,actors
    copy and paste:

  • Dame

    BTW I’ve never seen Degrassi so he is new to me now.

  • Got That Walk!!

    He has a thing for older women so I think Red’s Packin. He can get it.

  • not impressed

    yeah drake got skills but off the mic and out the studio he’s a lame!

  • http://bossip coco

    Ok, well first of all, his eyes are damn near on his temples………….can’t stand that, also, the nose is boderline, young “Camel”, yall know who i’m talking bout, not everybody luvs this guy………………….k?

  • http://whogotthatgreen.googlepages.com/home whogotthatgreen.googlepages.com/home

    go here for racial unity!

  • NOr*Cal

    Let me put it this way; I first heard drake on the “stunt hard” song with Wayne and some other young money artist. Drake murdered them both and I had no idea who he was…I google him it’s that dude from degrassi? I was like really? him? My sister had told me he spit FYE but I refused to listen to any of his songs: turns out she was right.

  • CeeCee

    I’m going to be honest… I don’t even know who he is. I’ve heard his name before, but none of his music.

  • http://Bossip D26Bmorebaby

    becuase his lyrics are the shit- and he fine- and he is what the worl of rap needs right now- and yeah we love his skin color!!!!!!!

  • DRAKE LOVER

    People love drake because his lyrics are real, and his beats are enjoyable as well. He raps well from START to FINISH, not just one part. There is no “favorite part” really to a drake song. You can tell he’s a really smart guy in his music, and he doesnt just get into relationships to fool around.

    And he’s from the South and Toronto? Who ever heard of such? Love it.

  • Max

    Last time I heard his mom is jewish, and father is black. The kids lyrics are killing the game. Look, if you listen to Wayne you can tell he’s written alot of Wayne’s rhymes. The only thing alot hip hop purist will say is, he doesn’t have the street cred. The kid got the swag, he’s being co-signed by the hottest rapper in the game right now, and he’s already got his lil’ fan base from degrassi. My kids love that dude, I listened to some songs and was surprised. Expect get rich or die trying numbers, maybe even bigger numbers than that globally.

  • http://www.twitter.com/jerztheproducer JerzoTheKing

    He’s talented and he already had money from his Degrassi days. The boy basically knows how to work a budget.

  • lies and bullshit

    he has the “golden touch” because that’s what they(zionist jew sharks) tell you and you do what they say or buy what they sell.
    FIN

  • Jam23

    @John
    He is a Jew and it’s not because you Jews get things done it’s because Jews run hip hop Lyor Cohen,Rick Ruben… Don’t forget how they blew up those no talented Beestie boyz!! So they been waiting for there next coming and he is here.
    Again it’s because he’s a jew!

  • Jace

    “Sat Whats Real”….”Uptown”….”Successful”….”HOUSTATLANTAVEGAS”…”Come Winter”……”I’m Still Fly”…Drake is dope.Love his music.

  • Soleil

    I liked him because I like his verse on ” Every girl” and the “Best I ever had”is a good song. He has a nice flow.

  • BellaY

    p.s. I’m a Degrassi fan from back in the 80′s. LOL!

  • http://deleted John D. Hater

    WOW, I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A NEW RAPPER WITH A NEW SOUND….

    SAME OLE SHIT!!!

    AND HE’S FROM CANADA…LOLOLOLOLOL

    I PEE ON CANADA!!!

  • MrTavMarie

    people just like the freshest next big thing, I guess…

  • Daisy

    He is not cute and overated his songs are aiight but I have heard much betta NEXT!

  • Wendy

    Now you know I had to comment on this article!
    Drake is a fresh air of the hip hop scene right now.
    We keep hearing the some ol’ rap and nothing has changed.
    Well Drake is flipping it and people are impressive (If they want to admit it or not).
    He has the realest lyrics out right now.
    Nothing is fake, he talks about anything and everything while never skipping a beat!
    His mixtapes are the truth.
    You can basically play each mixtape from start to finish. Its not a lot of rappers out there I could actually do that to.
    I have nothing but respect for him and I hope he blows it out the box when his album drops!!!
    But I do Have to laugh at Whoa’s comment “The Jesus of rap” LOL
    If truth can be told….He might just be!
    We need something new to the game, we are getting bored and Drake is actually waking us back up (I know he is for me!)
    Thanks for the article…Drake definitely deserve this….

  • Mz Blaze

    He’s a SCORPIO! That’s why lol

  • Necy

    Because he look way better than lil wayne and he can rap

  • Jade

    Because he is THE SHIT, and he doesn’t make us do the stanky legg or the Ricky Bobby, and he can also sing with or without that damn auto-tune mess

  • Preshess

    I dont even know who or what he is he looks like an alien and ugly as hell what does he do? I guess everyone dont love him

  • GET A CLUE

    He is creative…and he isn’t like the rest…Stanky legging and shit…

  • Emani

    He is a breath of fresh air with all these no talent artist coming out with ignorant songs with dumb dances….he actually has raw talent, not just a catchy hook

  • JayJay

    When are you people going to get some class and stop worshipping rappers who have NO MORALS? Do you think white people would support such ignorance??? You think they would let it ride? Just because he’s not screaming “kill kill”, but he’s still cursing left and right???? Would you let your kids listen to this crap? “M-F’ing drizzy”??? Black people settle for “almost” too much. We have a President in office and some of you are still acting like these gimmicky negative materialistic immoral no-message rappers are worth ANY attention. Please.

  • Tanyae

    All my daughters lil girlfiends love Drake too because of Dagrassi and he comes off as the type of guy they would want as a boyfriend.

  • ???

    LMAO…Why are ppl keep on talking about him being “Jewish”??? The dude is half black but some of y’all focus on him being jewish LOL. I mean it’s probably because he’s BLACK that he is inspired and wants to be part of hiphop music in the first place.

  • http://rhythmandwords.blogspot.com Mahogany Elle

    Because he’s like the cute kid in your algebra class who’s also really talented and down-to-earth at the same time. His raps are kinda like a cross between Ye’s neighborhood boy-ness and L’il Wayne’s word play. Makes for a fun combo. Real bubblegum (he’s not Talib Kweli or anything). But fun nonetheless.

  • toronto

    because of lil wayne..no one was bumping him before lil wayne

  • A-NOM

    Because he’s actually a good Canadian rapper born and raised in Toronto. The world is just being introduced to him as Drake, “the best you ever had.”

    1 <3 T.O.

  • Tony Redds

    Youngin is talented. Ima scoop tha album. I might check out the mixtapes that errbody talkin about.

    If Drake signs with Lil Wayne and Cash Money, Wayne is gonna make a gang of paper!

  • GeeMoney

    Good Luck.

  • CooperEllington

  • 007

    you people are morons, you are trained to love who your masters tell you to love. You no longer have minds of your own, but you all have been brain washed to accept things without questions. drake went from degrasi to being a gun slinger and you people eat it up, gotta love the media and the men behind the curtains that set these agenda.

    THE NEW BIG DEAL! Tell us sheep how it went down.

  • Ashlee

    I’m from Toronto and right now he’s reppin for us.. And he’s good, so don’t hate… We LOVE U DRAKE…

  • Briteside

    LMAO why are some of the Canucks (Canadians) in here saying “it because he’s Canadian” as if he was getting mad ratings in Canada before his recognition in the states? Not saying he never had a fan base already set up, but it was never to this extent. The lone fact that the states have embraced and recognized is the only reason most Canadians, laying claim.

    that said, I liked his music better when he was jus doing his thing without all the hype. He’s got potential tho, but i’m more concerned about his second album sales and quality

  • soufdallas

    very overrated…….dude dont speak about nothing relevant to me and my life………..he jus hype….mufuka might go platinum once……bet u never hear from him again

  • raysmooth21

    why is every1 feeling drake?

    HE’S THE SHIT! i think with him having such a big fanbase from being on Degrassi, and working with lil’wayne and young money, he’s definitely something new and i think he’s whats been missing in the game. and, he’s coming 2 pittsburgh, pa in july, and i can’t wait for it! i kno him, weezy, jeezy, and soulja boy are gonna KILL IT!

  • prisseme

    That song thats in rotation is NOT all that – you are my everything? I can’t understand what all the whooptywhoop is about him? He’s using the voicebox thingy, where are the lyrical skills?

  • bxhonee

    he is truth!!! drake IS what the games been missing

  • pstocci

    It’s either “The Man Upstairs”…or “The Evil One Below”……..we will soon see.

  • djdaverse

    the current trend in hip-hop is to be able to sing and rap – Drake can rap really well and he can really sing, not to mention he’s also been co-signed by some of the best in the game (Wayne, Jay, Kanye). His buzz matches his talent so Drake will be def be successful

  • PO10TiAL

    Different strokes for different folks i guess.. Ofcourse theres gonna be people who dont like him.. some people like that thug love plies shyt.. some people like that black unity mos dep and nas shyt.. some people like that stanky leg soulja boi shyt. so one mans overrated is another mans hip hop savior.

    Me personally.. i like him. i like the fact he can hold his own with the bigs (Wanye, Trey Songz) and still rock with the underground cats (little Brother). Will he sell?? With all this bootlegging and leaking going on.. it wont be as big as Wanye’s album.. but other than Jay-Z’s blueprint 3.. i dont see anyone reaching those numbers.

    PO10 out.

  • L

    You gotta respect someone working hard- no matter what they look like or whether you like the music to not. Being a child actor must have taught this cat how to hustle like most of don’t know. And his father and uncle are Memphis musicians – old school roots and the hustle game teaches you a couple of things. Bunch of haters attributing his success to the fact that he’s Jewish are just silly, as if the HipHop establishment are rushing to his side because of that. He’s got a nice flow, witty rhymes (Weezy’s influence for sure) and rocks the hipster tunes like Lykke Li, Santigold & peter & Bjorn…reminds me old school rap. This kids around to stay.

  • uni-bounce

    HIGH YELLOW ALWAYS GETS YOU FURTHER IN AMERICA !

  • RAWRR

    HIP HOP IS DEAD!!! I REPEAT HIP HOP IS DEAD!!!

    No it’s not, it lives in the North.

  • Ok

    @RAWRR- cosign on that one!!!!!!

  • _ShyGirl

    Well…because he’s talented.

    Not because he’s mixed…not because he’s canadian(which shouldn’t matter anyway….Canada is apart of North America and so is the U.S. making us all North American.)

    Simple & Plain!

  • L_Boog

    he’s super cure — he looks like Obama!

    and he used to be on that show on The N, Degrassi High. Love it!

  • Kevin H.

    He is the new face of the music industry. The Boy Drake is strait up talented. He is rappers, singers, songwriter evens an actor. He places Toronto on the map. The people that he is affiliated with and has on his upcoming cd are amazing. (Lil Wayne, Young Money, Jay-Z, Kanye) His Mixtape So Far Gone sold off the charts. The lyrics in his songs are real and on point. The ladies think he is cute or more. Everywhere he performs reaches capacity. “The game needs change and I’m the motherf–cashier”- Drizzy No more need to be said

  • Ok

    @ Eb- There is lots of stuff on the radio up north, its just not circulated everywhere around the country. WE get stuff a lot earlier than most other places! While the music is much better here than other places, hip hop still is at an all time LOW!!!! :( Its a dying race. There are only a couple rappers still out now that are even worth the time.Come on, when Souljah Boy can get a deal and sell millions of records there is something wrong. The boy is creative but not talented! SMH… hip hop is on freakin life support!

  • flyordiemcfly

    DRAKE IS OK BUT HES OVVERATED I THINK PPL IN THE HOOD ARE JUST HEAD OVER HEELS. DID YALL FORGET HE WAS ON NICKELOADEONNOW HE TALKIN BOUT BEING GANGSTER SMH WHAT IS RAP COMING TO WEEZY KISSED BABY NOW THIS SMH ..DRAKE IS OK BUT I THINK TOO MUCH HYPE

  • black

    Yea I been up on drake for a while (like 3 years a while lol I really have) so I have seen how he has progressed. He has definitely improved on wordplay but he is starting not to have an original flow anymore…like his first album he was very distinct and now he seems like a hybrid of Lil Wayne and Kanye. But you have to respect what he rapping; it’s better than autotune or hokey instructional dance songs…but I still like him for the mostpart lol

  • politicker

    no offense, but he’s canadian…only a matter of time before the lameness comes….I’ll admit his lyrics are smarter than the average garbage out there, but then again the garbage was here yesteday and gone today. He’ll last a few days later because his style is a Kanye/Will Smith mix….unfortunately a little more Will than Kanye…he’s attractive though :-)

  • Ambassador

    The dude just has something that the game hasn’t had in a while.. can’t explain it, you just know its there. He has word play like Jay, a flow like Kanye, wit a swag like Weezy. He’s just unstoppable…

  • Mrs. Graham..Jena if you’re reading this you know who I am!!

    The fact that Drake(Aubrey) was such a great actor on DeGrassi and already had a camp following him, helps with the fans. For him to be able to rap is a big bonus and surprise. How many actors who come in the game late are also talented as rappers??? don’t worry i’ll wait. throw in some word of mouth and illegal downloading, and everyone is bumpin drake now.

  • http://twitter.com/ladishanti LadiShanti

    He’s effin hot!!!

  • Toronto Chick

    I know him personally and I’m not really a fan of him but his music is iight still.

  • Jason B. Real

    I prefer Immortal Technique, dead prez, Saigon, MURS, Joell Ortiz, and Termanology compared to Drake.

  • Ms. a jones

    i’ll say this i’ve listened to alot of his songs and i love the majority of them. his flow is nice. he sings and i’m an r&b nut so a good flow plus the singing lures me in. alot of these rappers out here i wouldn’t even illegally download they ish that’s how horrible they are. but when drake drop his album i will be picking it up. check out houstatlantavegas, uptown, oh and damn teach u a lesson w/ robin thicke, and sooner or later. damn i sound like a promotor but he’s different idk that’s why i love him. what’s funny is how he signed w/ yung money but he probably diff from every nigg in that click. he talk like he from some toronto but his talent makes him global. and i’m from the south and we feelin him down here. so that’s a huge cosign for him. cause we don’t like nan nigg from up north hardly.

  • LYFE

    Well I love Drizzy Drake b/c he was a breath of fresh air with his art! The words he speaks is what captivated me! i loved him since Degrassi as an actor bc he was awkardly cute. Now that he’s grown and saying some real ish i love him even more. He’s very relatable and humble. When you listen to his music you feel like you grew up with him and went thru everything with him. GOTTA LUV HEARTBREAK DRAKE!!! *muah*

    His race or religion has nothing to do with his god given talents!! STOP THE HATE. LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC (NOT THE RADIO) B4 U PLACE JUDGEMENT!!

  • AquaOne

    please….ya’ll need to get on EDAN!

    Whats funny is I asked a young lady who I work with the same exact thing like 2 weeks ago and her answer was “cuz he’s light skin had good hair and pretty eyes” she’s about 23 24…all I could say was WOW thats it….I guess if men can feel that way about females why can’t females feel that way about men…I guess? but it would have to be a lil bit more than that for me ….

  • Sharie

    He’s cool- He has more than one song that I like so that’s a plus, but I’m not all gun-ho about this guy….

  • Damon

    Cuz he is light skinned and kinda of cute!

  • WIFEY06

    GIRLS THINK HE WILL BE THE NEXT BIG $$$$ MAKER.

    I DON’T GET IT MYSELF.

    WE ARE SO SUPAFICIAL!!!!!

    IS HE MIXED?

  • WIFEY06

    WAIT IS HE RAP OR R&B.. I THOUGHT HE WAS SINGING ON THAT SONG….. THE JEWS ARE BEIND EVERYTHING…….

    NO SERIOUS HE CAN’T BE A RPPER…

    WHY ARE ALL RAPPERS SINGING NOW DAYS? I CAN’T TELL IF THEY ARE RAPPERS OR R7B. LIKE AUT TUNE

    IT’S LIKE THE COVER UP WAY TO SING IF YOU ARE A RAPPER.

    I NEED REAL RAPPERS TO SEND A CLEAR STRONG PRECISE MESSAGE……

    He has mad MEMPHIS ties kinfolk have already been all over tv & the radio here & he even speaks about it in some of his songs I know in one cut he gives the memphis rap game props for his slowed down style of rap. But on a different note what’s this I am hearing about unreleased TUPAC tracks while under Death Row are now being released

    Duh.He’s Jimmy Brooks. I think that is obviously where his fan base started now his fans are excited to see what it next for him.

  • chikiMADZgirl

    im not impressed with him.is he jewish?

  • JJ

    possibly bcos he speaks proper english but can play the game the way it should, and has the skill to actually rap rather than muddle up what is words and talk about all his fake diamond chain, and his car, house,plane,girls and what not, he actually can put it down, production is amazing and skill is top notch and guess what he doesn’t need a auto tune to help him out but though the option is there
