New Video: Drake – ‘Headlines’

Drake’s “Headlines”, music video premiered on his blog yesterday.  It seems as though his entourage, has grown tremendously in size since the last LP. The OVOXO (October’s Very Own X The Weeknd) squad can be spotted throughout the video, leaving their mark on a building and also celebrating with Drizzy over a meal, cigar and wine.

Meanwhile, at first glance, you might think this kaleidoscope of a video was directed by Hype Williams, but Drake kept it in-house commissioning OVOXO’s own Lamar Taylor and Hyghly Alleyne to direct the clip.

His new album, Take Care hits stores October 24, which also marks Drake’s 25th Birthday.

Nicki Minaj’s Black and White Shoot for Complex

Nicki Minaj is the most popular female rapper these days. With a powerful presence, and infectious rap style and a unique look, her success has certain longetivity. She tends to shy away from interviews but she addresses the most asked questions from fans and skeptics in her recent cover story with Marc Ecko’s Complex Magazine. She even lets out a little secret about she and Drake!

On Drake Saying he wanted to Marry her in “Miss Me”?

He told me he said something about me on a verse, but I didn’t think it would be anything like that. He let me hear it for the first time when we did Jay’s show at Madison Square Garden, the day before Wayne had to go to jail—that night he let me hear it on the headphones. But you know what else he told me he wrote for me? The Alicia Keys song “I’m Ready.” I happen to love the song. I never told anyone that, I hope he won’t get mad that I said that.

On her sexuality.

When I rap, it’s just an extension of how I speak, and that’s how I talk. If you don’t like it, don’t listen. I’m also not going to explain something just because I said it in a rap. Take what you want from it. [In the press] I didn’t say [I don't like women]. I said I don’t have sex with women. I don’t have sex with men right now either. If [bisexual is] what they wanna call me, then fine.

Drake Cancels Summer Tour!

Drake just announced he will be by his mother’s side helping her get through a difficult time. He puts it via his twitter,

“Back at my moms house…please include her in your prayers tonight as tmrw she faces a true challenge.”

Drizzy Drake was scheduled to go on tour in Europe for the entire summer but instead he is showing his commitment to his mother. This is truly inspiring as it’s a testament to what a great artist is willing to sacrifice. At the BET awards Drake thanked his mom while accepting his award for Best Male Hip Hop Artist.

The most memorable performance was the tear-dropping one given by Chris Brown. Everyone sympathized with Mr. Brown as he danced his butt off and tried to reminisce Michael Jackson’s song through his emotionally shaken voice. This year, the BET Awards provided a platform for artists making comebacks. Outside of Chris Breezy, we saw T.I., Diddy, Kanye, Usher and Monica dip into the spotlight once again.

Rihanna Had Given Drake a Taste of His Own Medicine

The NY Times recently published an in-depth article about Drake, highlighting his rise from Jimmy Brooks of Degrassi High to being one of the “most innovative figures in Hip Hop”. The literature discusses Drake’s his short-lived relationship with Rihanna. He also reveals that he no longer feels safe in his hometown of Toronto after getting robbed at gunpoint last year. Here’s an excerpt:

And on “Fireworks” there’s a verse about Rihanna, who asked him last year to write a song for her new album; the two soon began seeing each other regularly, though they never publicly confirmed their brief relationship. I was a pawn,” Drake said. The song he wrote for her never got released. “You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I’ve done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, wow, this feels terrible.”

Drake On Toronto

I feel unsafe in Toronto at all times. I’m a one of one. There’s no one else you can hate as much as me if you hate money, or you hate success.
