Am I the only one who don't even know who the hell Drake is????

Bearing in mind, I am huge music freak and listen to all types of music but this guy keeps popping up in conversations i have with people.

I think he featured on Rihanna's What's My Name right...?

Other than that, i've never heard any of his songs....

On my facebook recently, loads of my friends were trying to get tickets for his tour and were telling me his shows were sold out and some were going to Germany because tickets were cheaper...

ermmmm...ive never even heard of this guy...and just saw that article on the front page of some fan getting a tattoo of Drake on their foreheard.

I'm just confused...

Drake's a rapper, he's currently on his second album. His first album didn't really have much impact here in the UK and he's only really beginning to make an impact now. You might have heard his new song with Rihanna, Take Care.

Basically, he is a very average rapper. He released one good song called 'Over. Thats all you need to know really.

He's awful, I'd rather listen to a test tone, yet some people rave over him.

You can be a music freak and not listen to the radio. And they said they'd heard the Rihanna song.

I'm one of those people. Anyway I think Drake is overrated. I don't understand all the fuss about him. And I've heard the Rihanna song as well.

lol. Drake barely gets played on the radio.

Infact, the only way you'd probably NOT know him is if you only listened to the radio. And I think the OP might be one of those people, since the only thing he's heard of Drake is his verse on What's My Name?, which is Drake's only big radio hit.

B.I.B - not only, i heard his song Find your Love on the radio everyday around June - August 2010 in the car alone, and Take Care his new single features Rihanna is now starting to get alot of airplay. Also Moment For Life featuring Nicki Minaj had alot of airplay.

i think his main songs being played on the radio are/were:
- Find your Love ( released June 2010)
- What's My Name (feat Rihanna) (Dec 2010)
- Moment For Life (feat Nicki Minaj) (March 2011)
-Take Care (feat Rihanna) (Nov 2011)

He's mostly been a featured artist but he had a hit single last year 'Find Your Love'. He's huge in America, though. Just had a #1 album. And a #5 album here.

Moment 4 Life got very little airplay. Less airplay than a lot of rock songs even.

Take Care hasn't got into the top 50 on the radio airplay chart yet, so it would be silly to consider that a radio hit. Maybe it will next year though.

But he did have Bedrock as part of the rap group Young Money last year on the radio a bit.

So Find Your Love, What's My Name?, Bedrock and maybe Take Care in the future.

It's true that Drake is huge in the US though. His albums ave had enourmous sales there, and he seems just to be getting more and more popular! I could see his next album in the US selling 700,000+ first week the way it's going.

He's huge in america, that's why people rave about him. He has some good songs e.g. both his songs with Rihanna. 'Find Your Love' was ok too.

Gah, the grammar on your thread title is driving me nuts!

To stay on topic, I don't rate Drake at all either.

he's the nephew of larry graham from sly and the family stone, and was in degrassi the next generation

then thought he'd try and be the next fresh prince of bel air. to say he was an average rapper would be a very polite thing that his granny might say. i'm sure you can guess what hip hop fans think of him...

Ohh sorry yeah. Just noticed that I did that. Can't change it now lol

Thanks for the replies though...I gather he's not popular on this forum too lol. Don't understand why he's so popular amongst my friends.

I must say I've never heard any of those songs apart from What's My Name. I've never seen them on the music channels either.

if youre not into hip hop/r&b, then its unlikely you'd have heard them. he was well known as a big US export in the black community.

I like the song that he recorded called Forever with Lil Wayne and Eminem, other than that not keen on his music.
