"Brand New" "Swagger Like Us"

Yeah, well I have read that "Swagger Like Us" will be on Paper Trail AND Blueprint 3. I also read that "Swagger Like Us" is Jay-Z's 1st single. So.....does it still count as T.I's like 4th single or whateva number we're on now? Either way that song is hot, Jay-Z is the man and T.I., well....T.I is still King of the South.

Up next, I will admit that I am a complete fan of that Nick show "Degrassi: The Next Generation". If you know anything about it then you know that the wheel chair bound character named Jimmy was somewhat of an aspiring rap artist on the show at one point in time. Well, I've been hearing for a while that he's really actually trying to do the music thing in real life. I'm not remembering the government name right now, but for the moment I'll assume it's Drake, like this song is labeled that I'm about to discuss. So, in my daily prowl of allhiphop.com, I came across this "new Weezy track". So I follow the link to this song with afore mentioned Drake. It's a youtube clip ofcourse but I'm lookin extra hard at this pic thinking: "Man, that really looks like Jimmy...Man that IS JIMMY!" It's actually a pretty good song too. It's called "Brand New"

I think my next course of action will be to see if he has a Myspace music page like everyone else in the world, including Hip-Hop Harry (but that's another blog entirely, maybe tomorrow ;) ). Back to the subject at hand, I'm not exactly sure what kind of artist Drake (if that is his real name) is trying to be. He is singing on this particular track, but like I said he was a decent rapper on Degrassi....but I don't want to say that he may have been the rapper only because he's black...but would that be a stretch? But Wayne is also singing on this track too, but that's nothing new since he discovered autotune.

Wow!!! I just rermembered his real name from the title sequence of Degrassi, his name is Aubrey Grahm...where did Drake come from? But at this very moment I have found his Myspace and I will very soon be adding him as a friend. This kid is fire, I'm currently hearing another song featuring Wayne called "I Can Take Your Girl". So he's rapping and singing apparently, and he does both well in my opinion, Drake that is. Let's be real, Wayne isn't the best singer out there. Snaps, who is featured on "Mrs. Officer" (not Bobby Valentino, the other rapping guy[sorry])? because that guy is also featured on this song. Drake Aubrey Jimmy is doin it.

Oh snaps! He is on "Replacement Girl" with Trey Songz!!?? I've heard this song before...and I haad no idea....that....Drake...Aubrey...Jimmy...wow. There's a video too. This is too much discovery for one morning. REAL TALK tho, some one please tell me why he calls himself Drake!!! So I guess the responsible thing to do now is hit you guys with links. To check out "BRAND NEW" and "I Can Take Your Girl" and other tracks, plus the video for "Replacement Girl" click here and you can do it all, including adding Drake as a friend to your Myspace. Oh and the version with Lil Wayne has been posted here for your convienence. I'm really feeling the original on his Myspace though. My b, this is the link to his OFFICIAL Myspace page. The other was just a fan page.
