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.

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.

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.

#TeamDrizzy v. #Teambreezy

#TeamDrizzy and #TeamBreezy are going AT it on Twitter. During the WIP nightclub Brawl, Chris Brown was making some "interesting" tweets about the events going down right in front of him.

He made another tweet about TMZ, the first and continuous reporters on the matters at hand but later deleted that tweet as well.

The comotion about Drake and Chris' fighting has become more personal for the two teams and TeamBreezy seems to think they are coming out on top in this one. Here's some facts to prove otherwise.

Fact One:

Chris Brown has proved to be nothing more than a Twitter thug. The least he can do is just not tweet about what's going on at all instead of making the nasty tweets long enough for people to see then deleting them. Smart right?

Fact Two:

Chris has a violent history so it's no surprise that he would be involved with a brawl in a nightclub at 4 in the morning. He a fucking nut and it's obvious. His own team was the ones that injured and nearly killed his bodyguard (Big Pat & Rihanna have something in common).

Fact Three:

Drake is a waaaayy better artist, and seller than Chris Brown. TeamBreezy has claimed that they were superior to TeamDrizzy when it came to sells.



F.A.M.E opened with 270,000 copies.

Take Care debuted with 630,000 copies and has since
went platinum.

 

 

Fact Four:

Drake doesn't need to win a Grammy to be better than Chris. Biggie, Jimi Hendrix and Jay-Z haven't won Grammys and they're a thousand times better than Chris. All of Drake's albums have went platinum and all Chris has to show for is dominating the BET Awards and a Grammy. FLOP STATUS.

Sorry but, Team Drizzy takes the cake..
