Where Were You? -Drake Feat. Dawn Richard & Colin Munroe

I wanted to post this song some time because it's so amazing. It's an older time recently rereleased sometime ago. I love this song!! The guy singing the chorus is Colin Munroe (guy from "Cannonball" and "Runaway Girl"). He tweeted my personal twitter account and told me!

Multi-Talented Papi

One of Drake's soccer pics from Instagram

We all know that Drake is really talented and is known so well for his success at acting, rapping and singing. But he's added, voice over, song writing and producing to the list over the past couple of years. Well the list just got longer....Drake takes  being multi-talented to a whole new level. Throughout the week, Drake and Word On Road have  been posting Instagram pics of him engaging in various sports and activities. IThe one above is Drake playing soccer.

This is Drake and his crew rollerblading the other night. You wont find this on Drake's instagram but you can see it on Word On Road and the TeamDrizzyFacts Twitters. 

This was taken earlier in the year and originally was to debut Drake's Aaliyah portrait on his back, but this is Drake playing tennis. There's another picture of Drake playing with famous tennis player, Serena Williams. 

This is an older pic but this is Drake DJing. There's a newer pic of him DJing on the Word On Road instagram (Check them out!!) 

Earlier this summer, Drake and comedian Kevin Hart went out when the OVO clique for a few rounds of paint ball.



These are just SOME of the things Drake is AMAZING at. Lets not forget rapping, acting, singing and his GQ model looks. :))

Drake's Wikipedia Page Update (Part One)

New profile pic, labels and 'feuds' column

Drake's Wikipedia page has gotten a well deserved makeover. His picture has been changed from the Walmart Soundcheck pic, his labels column has been updated, including Roc Nation and OVOXO as labels featured. A new column labeled 'Feuds' has been added. When you scroll down to see the feud between Drake and Chris Brown, it shows that Drake allegedly responded to Chris Brown's diss (track) in the Aaliyah song "Enough Said" talking about the failure of Chris Brown's "Fortune" album. Another part of Drake's bio also states that he has sold 5 million albums worldwide and that his second album, "Take Care" is his most successful album. Lastly, Drake's achievements are 3 JUNO Awards and 3 BET Awards. 

New Aaliyah & Drake Single Sparks Controversy

The beautiful Aaliyah has inspired Drake and his unique sound in so many ways throughout the years. And Drake hasn't hidden his love for the late R&B diva. Songs, tattoos and Tweets  in her honor should be hint enough. People have gone as far as saying that Drake has profaned (disturbed, tainted) her music by making a new album and releasing this single. Old Aaliyah fans are saying that the album isn't right without Timbaland and Missy Elliott. But what people fail to realize is that Aaliyah had a falling out with Tim before she died. There wasn't really a sure case that she would make anymore music with him. People also never think if Aaliyah was still alive, would she have the same sound, same producers or even be a singer. Another argument is that Drake is an avid fan of Aaliyah. When you see Drake & Nicki Minaj fans cover their music and make photos of the two, thats our way of interpreting our fave's art in our own way. What better way to show his favorite PERSON how much he really, truly loves her than putting all the unused music and energy into a new album? No one wants to see Drake make this album because they don't like Drake. Chris Brown can make a Michael Jackson album and it sends fans through the roof in happiness. But Drake can't even make a song for Aaliyah without being called obsessed. Another thing is that people who have actually worked with Aaliyah have tried to make albums for her but her family has made them stop, but the fact that Drake is making one with no problems, shows that at least her family has approved. Drake has worked with Timbaland and that's getting close enough to Aaliyah. I think Drake would have some pointers on how to make this album just like Aaliyah never left this earth. It's a lot of shade being thrown around for someone who's just trying to make good music. If Eminem can make a Tupac album, Drake can make an Aaliyah album.

Enough Said | Aaliyah & Drake

Omg. I cried as soon as I heard this song. It's so beautiful. Aaliyah sounds amazing. Drake sounded great. I really need Drake do be on a few more songs on this upcoming album. I was blown away, honestly. "Enough Said" is MORE than a good title. This song is beyond beautiful. Check out the ART below...

Drake Working On Major Aaliyah Projects

There's been word that Drake is going to Executive Produce a posthumous Aaliyah album and debut a new track featuring the late singer during his nearing OVO Fest on August 5. Vibe magazine reported earlier today a statement Drake made while being interviewed by infamous UK reporter, Tim Westwood, “I have some great Aaliyah news coming soon. Just some special things. Just gave you that, just a little. Because I said, I’m with Westwood, so I can’t not. But great things, great things for music, period.” It's been pretty obvious that a Drake and Aaliyah project would be nearing. Earlier this year he unveiled his portrait of Aaliyah on his back to show his undying affection for her. I can't wait to see and hear this new track and have the opportunity to buy her new album. It's really sweet of Drake to try to bring her music back...

R.I.P Aaliyah.

Drake Resurfaces on Instagram

Drake, known on instagram as Champagne Papi has resurfaced on Instagram! The reason behind his hiatus was that he misplaced his iPhone under his car seat! :P

One of Drake's newest instagram pictures stated: "Ready." and it shows him turning a rope for double dutch.

Drake's second pic after 5 weeks off Instagram.

Drake's first pic stated: "Found my iPhone under my car seat....Papi's back." 

Papi's Back.

LOL. Glad you found your iPhone Papi.

Should Drake Come Out With An R&B Album?

Drake singing "Find Your Love" live on Jay Leno

#TeamDrizzy and many others have had a lot to say about Drake and his versitility when it comes to his fast flowing rapping and slow, seductive singing. One of the TeamDrizzyFacts followers, tweeted the page that Drake's part in Rick Ross' "Diced Pineapples" sounded like his singing in "I Get Lonely Too". A very true and well put statement. This entire discussion was spiked after hearing Drake's singing on the new Rick Ross single (link below). It shows how much his singing has changed and improved (not that it needed to or has drastically). It makes me (and some others) wonder, 'is it time for an R&B album?' (or mixtape as some of the TDF followers have added). I think it would be amazing. A mixtape, album, compilation anything that would have more than 10 singles with Drake's amazing voice...his amazing singing voice. Songs like "Find Your Love", "I Get Lonely Too" & and "Fall For Your Type" leave you wanting more don't they? So this question is for you, TeamDrizzy...should Drake make an R&B album or mixtape? Should that be his third album?

Drake - Take Care (Explicit) ft. Rihanna (Review)

 Not everyone was very fond of the Take Care video as much as they are the complete album but I love the video. I didn't expect Drake along with 50 African dancers and Rihanna in a mini skirt dancing to the song. I expected something sultry to show how slow and how relaxing the song really is supposed to be. Take Care isn't a fast song and isn't required to be as abstract as "Miss Me" or "Over" or even "What's My Name?". I enjoyed the mountains and the animals (that didn't portain to Drake, Chris Brown or Rihanna). The video was simple and I rather have simple videos for Drake's albums than no videos. I feel that Drake's videos with lights and colors and stories behind them are his way of interpreting his feelings about his songs and his outlook on certain content in his music, with his fans. I love it. I loved what Drake did for "Take Care" and a rappers video with just one girl, a mountain and some animals, shows a lot of maturity and his looking outside of the box.

Meek Mill - Amen ft. Drake [Official Video] (Review)

 I enjoyed the video. At first I wasn't really getting the with all the girls but I would write it off as someone who isn't as attractive would have 100 girls in his video. Of course I enjoyed seeing Drake, having fun and seeing his big smile. Drake looked so fresh and clean cut and you can tell it wasn't extensive wardrobe. I DIED at the Club Paradise Tour and all the OVO Merch & them performing, that was an amazing touch. I definately prefer this over Pop That. I'm not fond of Meek, but I enjoyed the video. Drake did really well on the song and it's just overall a good single and great video.

2 Chainz - No Lie (Explicit) feat. Drake

I didn't think I posted the video, so I wanted to post this and do a quick review....*Takes deep breath* I like the video, I like the song. Not a big fan of 2Chainz but anyone that's a long friend of Drake's is ok with TeamDrizzy, no doubt. Drake killed his verse and 2Chainz was funny to listen to. Drake looked absolutely amazing in this laid back thing he had going (I forgot to say that in the Pop That post). Nothing much to really say about the video. Just wanted to catch up on some older posts. Enjoy!

Congrats Drizzy!!

The DASHING Aubrey Graham has won his THIRD BET Award last night. Although he was not at the show past night, Drizzy & our respected team got some love in the category of Best Male Hip Hop. The category was NOT aired (there will be a post about that) but Drizzy won & that's all that matters.

Drake & Chris Brown Brawl & Further Information

I think anyone with internet, Twitter or a radio with the knowledge of Drake & Chris Brown, have heard about the brawl at WIP Nightclub in NYC between the entourages of singer Chris Brown and PLATINUM ALBUM selling rapper/singer, Drake. There has been a lot of back & forth between #TeamBreezy (Chris' fanbase) & #TeamDrizzy (Drake's Fanbase of course). To get down to the facts, rapper Meek Mill (who was apart of Drake's party) & Chris Brown were initially having a shouting match until someone apart of Chris' party threw a bottle (or a punch, its unclear). The first reports were that Drake threw a bottle at Chris. Those rumors are UNTRUE. Eariler reports have stated that Drake was facing jail time for Reckless Endangerment. Those reports were confirmed by tabloid giant TMZ to be FALSE. New York City law enforcement has told TMZ that there was no evidence that Drake even threw a bottle, that ANYONE threw a bottle & no charges have been filed. Drake also told the media that he didn't have anything to do with the fight because he was exiting the club. Chris Brown was the only one to speak to police. It is to be rumored that Drake, Chris & Meek were fighting over singer, Rihanna. They were also joking about Rihanna's status as the industry whore a few weeks ago so that may not be so concrete. For more information, keep up with the TDF blog AND Twitter & check our links below.

TeamDrizzy & RihannaNAVY

After a small rant on TeamDrizzyFacts a lot of RihannaNAVY was upset. The TeamDrizzyFacts IS NOT an anti-Rihanna page. I personally like Rihanna's style and music, just not some of the things she does (regarding Drake). Rihanna fans are more than welcome to follow, play the games, view our pictures and participate in the all of the fun of the page. As long as Drake and Rihanna are on good turns so should the two teams. Apologies for any of the navy offended...
