I found this on Rap Radar and really wanted to share this with u:

Dear Dana,

I’ve never lost a parent, a friend, or a lover but I will never forget this day for the rest of my life. I remember getting the news that you had passed and it connected with my heart like a clean shot from Muhammad Ali. I was crushed. Not only was I one of your biggest fans but I was truly in love with you. I loved the way you carried yourself, the way you dressed, the confidence with which you addressed passion and relationships in your music. I said to myself that even if we never met, I wanted a woman in my life just like you. I am pained that we will never get to connect now that music ended up being my career path. But you should know, we all listen to you everyday and we remain inspired and moved by all that you’ve given the world. I hope I make the right life choices so I can end up in heaven where I know you rest your head. I’ll continue to make music in your honor until the day we finally meet. Dinner’s on me!

Love you always and forever,

Drake

Awww!!! Drake never ceases to amaze me…he is such sweetheart!

Is The Dream Over?

After negative feedback for his remake of Aaliyah’s ‘One In A Million” and allegations that he and Mariah Carey stole their hit song from a group of Bay Area producers, he had this to say to Ms Drama TV :

“Nope, there’s not another album, this is it. Nobody appreciates music so I’m out. I’m out. I’m good, so take that. Like Jay said, maybe y’all will remember me when I fade to black. So it’s out.”

That almost sounds like something that a child would say. I’m sorry, I like The Dream but to say he is done after a couple of negative things are said. I don’t know how quickly success in the music industry came to him but he should know that not everyone will like what you do. I think that it’s a bit selfish as well, we all know that there are some hardcore Dream fans out there and to disappoint fans like that will make it so much harder for him once he’s done throwing his tantrum and decides to come back.
