Ladies and Gentlemen…..Aubrey Graham.

Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986) is a Canadian actor and recording artist. He originally became known for playing Jimmy Brooks, the basketball star that became physically disabled after he was shot by a classmate on Degrassi: The Next Generation. As a rapper, he performs under the mononym Drake, and is often billed as the new version of The Fresh Prince. Drake continued to recognize a close affiliation with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment, before officially signing with the record label in June, 2009. His first studio album, Thank Me Later, is expected to be released on the label in late 2009

I am a fan of the Degrassi series and have been since it originally aired during my pre-teen years. I would sneak out of bed and stay up until the wee hours in the morning when PBS would air the series. After I found out that my generation’s characters were adults now with kids of their own in school….I tuned in. I’ve also always been a fan of Aubrey’s character, Jimmy.

That being said….when “Drake” first appeared on the scene I was excited for him. I had high hopes and thought he would truly live up to the claims of being “a new version of The Fresh Prince.” Just last week I was telling TJ how impressed I was with his song, Best I Ever Had. Then I listened to the lyrics. He used “fucking” in every line of the chorus. Then there was the BET performance with pre-teen girls on stage shaking their asses like women do for dollars. THEN…..the video. I logged on to a gossip blog today to look for something specific and at the top of the page was Drake’s video, directed by the “great” Kanye West.
This is the worst bullshit I’ve ever seen in my entire life! The entire video is grown ass women bouncing their breasts….PERIOD. They run, they jump, they bend over, it’s all about breasts. How the hell do you get compared to THE FRESH PRINCE (who will ALWAYS be held in high regard for his integrity) and you sign with Lil Wayne and put out some FUCKING garbage for a video. I am extremely disappointed and this has just solidified my boycott of Drake as an artist.

I will not post the video on my blog because I have more respect than that for women.
