Quoi de neuf à Toronto ?

Baby take a chance or you’ll never ever know
I got money in my hands that I’d really like to blow
Swag swag swag, on you

Dear Dana,

I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!

Love you always and forever,

Drake

Ayo, fuck this
Are we dating? Are we fucking?
Are we best friends? Are we something in between that?
I wish we never fucked, and I mean that
But not really, you say the nastiest shit in bed and it’s fuckin’ awesome

She says they missed the old drake girl don't tempt me
If they don't get it they'll be over you
That new shit that you got is overdue
You better do what you're supposed to do
I'm like why I gotta be all that but still I can't deny the fact that it's true

OVOXO til we overdose...

I'ma murderer and murdering anything that moves
Through ya nine niggas
Straight do or die niggas
Caught up and fall victim to the worst shit
X, Jigga, and Ja as expected
Shot on the world and reflect it
Niggas don't respect it
So get it the worst way
Fuck with the wolves you get hunted like prey

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?

Yo, the city is mine (which one?)
T-O-R-O-N-T-O
D-R-A-K-E that's me
You know how the story goes

I love her, today
Cause it's Wednesday, I won't be late
I don't need to know if you're feeling when Im free
Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday
Sunday but on Thursday...Thursday

Se faire attendre est un art que Drake a su maîtriser à la perfection. Echappé des radars au début de l'année 2009, Drake a bouleversé la hiérarchie de la nouvelle génération de rappeurs (Wale, Asher Roth, CuDi...), avec une mixtape, "So Far Gone", d'où est issu le tube "Best I Ever Had". Depuis, Drake enchaînent mixtapes et featurings, de plus ou moins bonne facture, avec Trey Songz, Timbaland, A-Trak, Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige ou Jay-Z. Rien n'est assez quand il s'agit de maintenir le buzz sur sa personne quand on n'a encore rien vendu (les mixtapes étant proposées gratuitement sur le Net), pas même une floppée de couvertures de magazines ni une iddyle avec Rihanna.
