IT'SMOTHERFUCKINGDRAKE WEEKThe first time I Drake I was:
✓ By Myself
✓ Drunk off Riesling
✓ In a pool
✓ NakedI was Drake on a Tuesday.That scenario, all things considered, is one of the top five Drakiest moments. 'Twas a perfect storm that existed because of every choice every living creature from the beginning of time has made. If one mosquito gets squashed by a T-Rex foot, I may not have even been born, let alone skinny dipping in a pool listening to Drake. I had seen Drake's music on MixtapeTorrent.com. I had actually downloaded Room for Improvement a few years prior but only skimmed it and went back to listening to Hell Rell and Un Kasa songs.I was housesitting for a co-worker for a week, and on this particular evening I stumbled across Drake's MySpace page with "Say What's Real" as the default song on the player. It had over 11 million plays. 11. Million. ELEVEN. MILLION. I proceeded to add another 5,000 to the play count as I sat there listening to it on repeat. I moved their stereo speakers outside onto the patio and climbed down into the pool. It's what every artist wishes they had— a definitive "Introduction To Me" record — but very few achieve. "Say What's Real" set the tone for me as a Drake fan. As I stared into the speckled sky from the liquid embrace of a heated pool, I immediately got "it.""How much time this blogger spending on the intro?"Drake's lyrics can be vivid in their imagery, and surpass merely painting pictures; he captures a scene, a moment, a mood. On the other hand, his lyrics are also sometimes humorous (oft-unintentional). With that duality in mind, I set out to tell the tale of Nothing Was the Same through interpretive Vines.Tyler Perry Be Like…Bauce Sauce does it for the culture. He's on Twitter - @BauceSauce-----As part of Drake Week, yesterday we've already pondered "What If Every Song on Drake's New Album Was an Episode of Seinfeld?", had a writer comment on listening to Drake for the first time and had The Kid Mero drop off a Caps-Lock Review. Drake Week continues tomorrow.
