Man Crush Monday !!!! Drake aka Aubrey aka Jimmy

In anticipation for one of the most anticipated album of the year Nothing Was the Same on September 24^th. (this doesn’t include those of you who already have it -_-) This week’s Man Crush Monday goes to my long time crush, my imaginary ex husband Drake.

LET’S GO BACK A LITTLE SHALL WE?

 If you were a hormonal teenager back in 2008 and your parents had enough money to pay for a cable package with more than 100 channels, you were watching the high school soap opera Degrassi: The Next Generation on The N network once a week.  The Canadian based show addressed a lot of issues that modern day teenagers were faced with like, mental disorders, teen pregnancy, and bullying. While watching, a few things came to my mind, like “wow never is my high school this interesting, these kids are f-ed up”, and “damn, who is the cute, almost black dude in the wheel chair”. And when his video for his first single Replacement Girl with Trey Songz premiered after the season finale of Degrasssi , the world laughed. Hard. “Oh, Wheelchair Jimmy tryna be a rapper now?”. But while everybody was laughing, and the original casts of Degrassi were looking for acting jobs, young Aubrey Graham was making mixtapes, changing his name and gearing up to be a force in the music industry.

A year later under the wing of the previous “Best Rapper Alive” Lil Wayne, Drake released his first mix tape So Far Gone, and the game was never the same. After one mix tape, Drake was on every major song in hip hop that year and a new sexual orientation was created.  Gay, Straight, Bisexual and LightSkinned/Drake.  His first studio album Thank Me Later (2010) gave us some timeless classics like Fancy and Up all Night and we will be listening to his sophomore album Take Care (2011) well into our 40’s and 50’s. Drake’s cocky word play and smooth flow fed the male ego and the association with Lil Wayne gave him just enough credibility to be accepted as a rapper.  And even though he tries his hardest to prove to us that he's a hardcore Canadian gangster, we all can picture Drake running at the first sign of danger and then crying because his shoes got scuffed.Aubrey’s sensitivity allowed him to sing badly into women’s hearts and panties and he became every girls perfect imaginary boyfriend.  If not a boyfriend, then at least the perfect side piece. Just ask our boo Rihanna. Young Aubrey became the bane of Chris Brown’s existence last year when the timeline in which his relationship with Rihanna and her relationship with Drake overlapped a little bit.  Now whether Drizzy was the rebound, the main dude or Rihanna’s side piece is still yet to be determined but that didn’t stop every girl from oozing with envy watching Rih,Rih being held in the strong arms of Drake in the Take Care video.

Only way to get over one light skinned dude, is to get under another light skinned dude. Well noted RihRih ;)

Aubrey has been locking us in our rooms drunk dialing ex’s for at least 2 years now. (I’m not allowed to listen to Drake after 12am). Along with providing us endless catch phrases, and Instagram captions,his “damn , I actually love these hoes”  attitude has so much of a hold on us that we had to make the phrase “Feeling Some Kinda Way (FSKW)” just to describe how his music made us feel.  And just when his masculinity starts to be questioned, Drake murders another one of everybody’s favorite beat next to our favorite rappers. Even though his mentor and founder Lil Wayne’s flame has dwindled, as long as Drake keeps getting dumped by video vixens, strippers and Rihanna he’s going to be around for a minute. And I'll be here watching. ;)

October Very Own :p

I wonder how my mom would feel if I brought home a nice Canadian Jewish boy

 

Oh Yes *drool*



Do you know how good of a rapper you have to be to make a whole generation overlook the fact that you played dude in a wheel chair with erectile dysfunction?



The best show on TV. After the original cast "graduated" from Degrassi Community School, the new freshman cast they brought in SUCCCKKKKEEDDD. The show was never the same.



If you watched Degrassi, this was the scariest moment of your young teenaged life. RUN, JIMMY! RUNN!!! :(

 


There are four sexual orientations in this world. Gay, Straight, Bisexual or Light Skinned/Drake. If you ever made this face here...you're Drake

He can have all of me and whatever is left.
