Is Drake Over And Out Before His Career Has Truly Begun?

After discussing with a few of my peers about our thoughts and views on Drake, it seems we all agree....Drake's career is crashing before it's actually begun.....well we hope not!

There has been a few incidents/events that have happened over the past month or so that don't seem to have gone down too well with Drake fans.

Incident #1

'Best I Ever Had' Video
Directed by Kanye West

One of the most anticipated videos of the year, from the the Canadian rapper on the tips of everybody's tongue, was very disappointing. The video was a hot mess, which I personally didn't get.
Kanye's vision didn't reach out to Drake's fans, most of whom shunned the video. With a massive female fan base, this video did Drake no favours, but some men seemed to like it, no surprise there!



Last week an editor's cut version of the video was released.....



Is it any better than the original?


Incident #2

Drake's performance at the 2009 BET Awards

We all expected Drake to give a great performance at the BET Awards, (I actually stayed up till 5am watching), and once again we were disappointed, and some even appalled.
Poor Drake tore his Achilles heel a few days before the BET Awards, so he either had to pull out or go on with the show - he decided to go on with the show, where he sat on a stool throughout his performance of 'Best I Ever Had', which had people bored and not impressed. Then in his performance with Weezy for 'Every Girl', Lil' Wayne's daughter and her friends who are around the ages of 13, come out on stage prancing around like, dare I say it, young groupies, which, for a show that was dedicated to the passing of Michael Jackson, was inappropriate.


There's no longer any video footage that is available due to copyright clams by Viacom. (Sorry!) But I'm sure you all have seen the footage!

I give Drake props for going ahead with the show whilst injured, but his first televised performance was dire and was slated. He really should have weighed up his options better!

Incident #3

Drake falls and injures his leg....again!

During a performance whilst Drake is 'dancing', he falls and hurts his knee and he'll now need surgery. If he injures it again, doctors have warned him that he may not be able to walk on it again.



This is another blow to Drake which also creates yet another set back for him.

It seems ever since he signed to Cash Money/Universal Records, he's going down hill and the buzz about him is dying down. With other artists, such as Fabolous, going in for the kill, will Drake be soon forgotten about?

What are your thoughts on Drake?
