Aubrey Graham: before we knew him as Hip Hop Super Star 'Drake'

This is Drake before he was a rap superstar. He speaks about his ascension from a child model to teen star of the Canadian hit Degrassi. He also shows that being a rapper was always in the cards for him. Good interview.

This is 50.Com Hates Drake: Never when your strong do they come hardest, only when your weakened

Before watching this video I want all of you to know that Drake is an anomaly right now...he's quite literally a musical phenom who without any label-power built one of the greatest organic movements the blogosphere has ever seen with his mixtape 'So Far Gone" (and that's to his credit). Viral internet traffic buzzes with such intensity for this guy that record-labels courted him vigorously and online analysts have said that his positive feedback ratio fares better in comparison to most established artists. Even venture capitalists and a member of a royal family offered Drake money in the millions; and it should be known that despite all of that he still decided to go the independent route and shunned the usual formula of getting signed so that he would not be controlled. The clip below is nothing more then an affirmation of the fact that he's become an actual real threat in the rap-game, a potent force for change and his model is being watched and scrutinized at every turn. Drake is still poised to do really well, and he may sell well beyond the expectations if he continues to stay the course and make the music that's true to himself.
