Drake = Pure, unadulterated corniness

I'm sorry but Drake Aubrey Graham has to be one of the corniest muhfuggas on the planet. I admit I jam out to his songs every now and then, but overall, he'll always be Wheelchair Jimmy from Canadia to me. People act like he's the first dude to ever combine rapping and singing... well, maybe he's the first to do it while looking like a sleepy hound dog/caveman/Mr. Potato Head. Anyways, there are a number of instances since his rise to fame where ~~Drake~~ Aubrey has displayed his sentimentality for all to see--and guffaw over.

Cases in point:

That terrible letter he wrote to Aaliyah on the anniversary of her death last year. I was truly in love with you... I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you... I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. Seriously? How can you be "truly in love" with someone you've never met. And posting it on the internet like that just makes it seem insincere, like "LOOK AT ME! I'm ultra sensitive and can meet your emotional needs, girl." This letter was TOO extra, unintentionally hilarious, and a little creepy.
The near constant references to Nicki Minaj, their "marriage," and his undying love for her. I understand that's your labelmate, but for real, tone it down. For one, isn't this chick bi? She's even said in interviews she isn't looking for a a partner right now, so every word Drake espouses regarding this matter automatically looks stupid and desperate.
Hanging off Lil Wayne's nuts. Again, I understand he's your rap mentor and opened up a lot of opportunities for you through affiliation with his crew. But please, reign the lovefest in. Understand girl, we fam girl/Can't get me right and not do Wayne... ~"Show Me a Good Time." ...Yeah. Good lookin' out for his sexual satisfaction, too, Drake. THAT isn't suspect at all, bro

Then there's the many unflattering pictures of this man floating around the web...

Even Riri's like "Damn n*gga, enough with the PDA"

Lord, look at his face. He's so geeked (literally)

LMAO

There's even a website devoted to his many Drake faces. Smh. Step ya game up, boy!

Four thumbs (and two flapjack titties) down

- Dave Chappelle

There's no reason you should be in your 20s and your boobs look like this (well, maybe if you've had kids... plural). ::sadface::

Them titties look like Drake's face: sad hound dog.

Or like some flapjack pancakes.

Or like they asleep or something. So unfortunate

*Let me stop hatin' though, "Paparazzi" is my jam

On sale, 50 Cent!

I noticed that one of my top tracks for the past week (according to my handy little Last.fm widget to the right) is "Corner Bodega" by 50 Cent, a great riding song btw. Which led me to the thought, Remember when 50 Cent used to be cool? Like, right when he first started getting mainstream attention in 2000. At the lunch table in high school all everyone would talk about is how 50's that new hotness, how his mixtapes are pure fire, and how dope his then-album was. He's mad corny now, like a caricature of his former multiple gunshot wound, street warrior self, amirite?

Now he does press junkets with Bette Midler (major confused face here, what do these fools have in common?):

And tries to drum up interest in himself by starting beefs with rappers who are as popular now as he USED to be:

Feud w. The Game

Feud w. Rick Ross

Feud w. Lil Wayne

Let's not forget the infamous Kanye vs. 50 album sales beef (don't rappers see we're all on to the whole "fake beef" thing? IT'S SO PLAYED OUT)

When I was in NYC a couple summers ago, I asked this guy from Queens what he thought of 50. He said almost no one in the community respects him anymore, that once he got famous, he ditched his old neighborhood and got straight corny with it. In other words, he "sold out."

Yeah, go figure ::rolls eyes::

So many artists eventually sell out: Black Eyed Peas pre-Fergie; Missy Elliott--remember when she tried to capitalize off of that one really hot album she had, Miss E... So Addictive, by releasing two more really sh*tty albums right after? Yeah, FAIL; Ja Rule; Nelly. OMG there are SO many. And definitely not just in hip hop either. What musical sellouts are you guys still listening to, even if it's just their one hot song?

(PLEASE don't say Drake... I have the feeling with all this hype, he's gonna pull a "50" reeeeal soon. Which brings me to another thing that really grinds my gears: when an artist I knew about and listened to for ABOUT A YEAR before he/she blows up goes mainstream (remember when that song Drizzy did with Trey Songz a while back, "Replacement Girl," dropped? Hotness. Also totally annoying, when MIA's song "Paper Planes" got popularized by that Pineapple Express movie. Hello losers, that song was out for a good year and a half before it blew up AGAIN).

Rihanna & Drake

I know every other day someone says RiRi is dating some new dude, now the word is that she and Drake are a couple. I mean, I think they look good together... even tho this thought still applies.

Let me put you on...

Here's a semi-random selection of things I've really been feelin' lately.

COLIN MUNROE. This guy's music is the truth, y'all. I cannot stop listening to 88-Keys' remix of his song Last Cause.

"We are young, dumb, sittin on top of the world..."

It's the stuff dreams are made of! Colin's music is typically classified as hip-hop (he's collaborated with a lot of underground rappers/producers, done interviews for hip hop magazine like Vibe, and did a remix to Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" song), but his sound is more '80s electropop with a splash of rap to me.

Speaking of dope Canadian musicians, I've also been feelin DRAKE. For my fellow Degrassi heads, you'll remember him best as Jimmy

His mixtape So Far Gone has some great gems on it, especially the songs Unstoppable ft. Santogold & Lil Wayne (that man is on EVERYBODY'S track these days), a unique take on Lykke Li's Little Bit (a song I shouted out a minute ago... I like Drake's version too), and Best I Ever Had.

For what seems like the longest I've been wanting to get a vintage gold mens watch. This one from Urban Outfitters looks about right:
