As one of Pop’s more commercially viable acts, there’s no denying the impact Drake has made on Hip Hop and wider culture alike- at the forefront of the ever popular ‘College Rapper’ trend launched by Kanye West‘s ‘808 & Heartbreaks’.
Now, perhaps in realization of his popularity, he has made some very interesting remarks to The Jewish Chronicle.
Remarks, we’re sure will split opinion as Moses did the Red Sea.
Read below…
There were people who incorporated melody before me but I would deem myself the first person to successfully rap and sing.
Yes, there are aspects of it that are new in the rap world. But it’s not a gimmick. I just sort of exist and people embrace it. I’m one of the few artists who gets to be himself every day.
It doesn’t take me six hours to get ready and I don’t have to wake up in the morning and remember to act like this or talk like this.

Didn’t you post a picture of him holding a medical prescription? He needs to RUN back to that doctor. The pills are not working.
P.S : After he goes to the doctor, he needs to go to a store and buy Lauryn Hill’s album…He needs it in his life.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas for that comment , yas !
i was thinking the same exact thing before i read this comment. Drake is ‘smokin on Keisha’. lol.
Noooooooo for that comment… Atleast Drake acknowledged the one’s who did it before him and he has the right to think he’s the most successful one if he so chooses. so both of y’all STFU!
HAhaha @ WELL DAMN! Drake can think he’s the best all he wants. But imagination and reality are completely different aspects of this world. Think he’s a bit delusional
@ WELL DAMN.
1. DRAKE DIDNT INDIVIDUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE ANYONE ELSE. HE SAID, “OTHERS’. B*******.
2. DRAKE DIDN’T SAY HE WAS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AT IT, HE SAID HE WAS THE ‘FIRST’ ONE TO SUCCESSFULLY DO IT.
HAVE A NICE COMFORTABLE SEAT.
LMAO THE FIRST TIME WHERE EVERYONE ACTUALLY AGREE ON SOMETHING, OH WHAT A SWEET DAY, NO STAN WAR. DRAKE BYE.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEST COMMENT EVER OMG
You beat me to it!
DRAKE PLEASE BUY THE MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL AND THEN THINK ABOUT YOUR COMMENT. Really think.
Welllllll as the old saying goes, it’s a poor
dog who don’t “Wag His Own Tail”.
Okay so I guess artists such as Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah, etc. haven’t sung and rapped at the same time? please. His ego is a bit too big when he is the main one up in clubs throwing bottles as a grown ass man. He needs to go sit down somewhere and stop.
you took the words right out of my mouth, this n**** need to take several seats.
Lolol
I guess he doesn’t include female rappers/singers as real rappers? smh
But even male rappers like ja rule 50 cent did it, Drake needs to come down from whatever ego trip his on.
Yeah, i wasn’t reasoning with him, i was being sarcastic.lol And don’t forget Andre 3000, Wyclef, s*** didn’t Pharell sing and rap too….Drake is such a faliure! lmfao
Ok um bobby brown did it first with dont be cruel and rock wit ya and every little step so imma need drake to stfu! No i take that back bobby brown was second to do it JAMES BROWN DID IT FIRST WITB HIS SONG PAYBACK!!
James sure in the hell did! drake is a tad bit late to the
stage with his thought! but then again don’t they all brag kind of just a little bit, though.
Aubrey needs to take her mediocre voice and chill, there are many artist that has been more successful and more talented than this qween.
i cant
lol….
Hmmm… Missy ELliot has rapped and sang, Lauryn Hill and Queen Latifah…… Even mary has been known to spit a rhyme or two as her alter ego- Brook Lynn, and might I add they ALL have been successful at it. Maybe he meant to say the only MALE to do this…..
hmmmmm
Nope…. Kanye’s 808’s and heartbreak album was mostly him singing.. I know he was using a lot of auto tune and vocoders but so does drake.
Nope.Nate Dogg already did it and did it well.
Bone Thugs in Harmony did it, Cee Lo did it, Wyclef did it.. Shame Drake seems to be really feelin himself.
Even Ja Rule did it and at the time, he was really SUCCESSFUL (not that good, but successful)
also Andre 3000 and nelly
He still not tryin 2 fight Chris Brown doe.
He raps? That is new to me. have a seat Aubrey, your urinary infection pills have you a bit delusional
Now that I really thinking about…what is it that he do? That’s not rapping and that is not singing you do Aubrey. I will say you are able to speed up your talk(your “raps”) and slow down your talks(your “singing”).
Actually Lauryn Hill was the first. her 6 grammys for one album spoke for itself
He ain’t nothing but a waffle light skin looking n**** who sings to little girls hoping to get in the pants that’s all. Can’t stand waffle looking n***** always in people face asking for s***. I’m like n**** if you don’t take you’er ass the the waffle house and sit you’er ass down somewhere.
B**** STFU!! Shouldn’t you be bobbin’ your head to that whack ass Kreayshawn s*** that was released earlier this week! HAVE SEVERAL SEATS TRASH!!!!!!!!!!
OMG…YOU LET THAT B**** HAVE IT! LOL
Ya both shut the f*** up and I know you ain’t talking you’er looking white everytime I see her ass so shut you’er damn mouth.
Beyonce know damn well she wanna be white she wanna live the life kreayshawn lives so she bleach her skin to look white. Well beyonce you will never be white OK so sit you’er ass down relax a bit and drink some grape soda would you
White girl been “Corked & Screwed”!
my mistake i meant to say the first to release an whole album with her rapping and singing.
Drizzy the diva… homegurl u know u werent the first so #KillIt!
Now of this isnt the perfect representation of a true narcissistic person then I dont know what is. Has he been hanging out with Jay z or Beyonce or Kanye lately because this sounds like something they would say about themselves too.
When have you ever heard beyonce say anything to such nature? I don’t too much know about Jay and it does sound like something Kayne would say but bey no. He’s been hanging with that Young money crew. Apparently Nicki thinks she’s some type of rapper breaking “hip-hop records” with pop songs?
Beyonce is the epitome of narcissism. Have you seen her recent desperate attempts to reach out to Michele Obama using the media to do so. She’s been doing it for a while now. Beyonce would sound more sincere if she did it in private rather than post notes and videos online for the attention.
WHY ARE Y’ALL BRINGING UP NICKI AT EVERY TURN??? THAT’S PROOF POSITIVE THAT THE QUEEN REIGNS .. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THE BEAT SOUNDS LIKE U IMBECILE, THE LYRICS ARE BEING RAPPED… THE S*** IS HARDCORE RAP WHETHER U LATE HOMOS LIKE IT OR NOT!! LIL KIM IS & YOUR FAVES ARE BEING SNATCHED LEFT & RIGHT & U WILL DEAL!!
christinastherealtalent says: “Have you seen her (Beyonce) recent desperate attempts to reach out to MIchele Obama..” umm last I checked Michele Obama reached out to Beyonce for lets move campaign.. hmmm
Desperate attempts to reach out to Michelle Obama? The same Michelle Obama who RECRUITED her for her Let’s Move Campaign? Whose husband personally selected her to sing At Last at the inauguration? Who stated that if she could trade places with anyone, it’d be Beyonce? I’m no stan but let’s not try to re-write facts.
Jay said beyonce was the best since Michael Jackson, though!
When he said that I think he’s only talking about how he’s the first MALE to succesfully rap and sing. I highly doubt he was thinking about the female rappers so calm down.
Nate Dogg and Kanye West already did it.
JAMES BROWN DID IT FIRST HE WAS THE ORIGINATOR OF IT ALL THEN BOBBY BROWN
Nate Dogg was pretty much just a singer, though he may have dabbled in rapping. Kanye West may have had an album singing, but I don’t think calling him a rapper and singer would be a correct characterization. Now a fair counterargument to Drake’s assertion might be Phonte of Little Brother, by whom Drake is heavily influenced. Still, Drake prolly is the first mainstream/successful male rapper/signer hybrid tho. He totally disregarded several female rap/singers tho smh.
Dang… forgot about Bone Thugs N Harmony!
But he isn’t though
I never said he was the first to do it, I’m saying that’s probably what he meant when those words came out of his mouth. He definitely was ONE of the rappers that popularized it next to Kanye & Lil Wayne (if u still consider him a rapper).
The f***?! Bone Thugs N Harmony did it back when Aubrey was still years away from landing his Degrassi gig. And they sold more albums and had higher charting hits. Drake hasn’t had a hit anywhere near as big as “Tha Crossroads.”
Sit down. Drake isn’t “the first” to do anything.
I See what That B*tch was saying and also he no doubt
meant that is out right about now, he seems very smart and i know he does not mean back in the day, but right now. Because they had some heavy hitters with james, and others who came before Drake was even thought of.
PS
Drake has a huge hit on his hands with Rihanna’s
song “What’s Your Name”. Might not be the biggest of all but never the less it’s big as it get for right now, DRAKES time line!
Nate dogg already did it and his a way better rapper and singer than you will ever be.
The Young Money crew got their heads so far up their @ss,it’s ridiculous.
Yes The Young Money crew have the heads up their asses. For one reason you have to remember we the people put them there. Lil Wayne, Nicki,Tyga, & Drake have that so what I’m great thing going on. People who are complaining are the main ones who put Young Money heads between their asses. The all at like they are much better than any other artists past and future.
They
^^^^
They all at like theu are much better then any other artist past or present,
Hmmmmm it’s the people who have made all of them
Rich as all get out it’s not just “Young Money” it’s every musician who ever held a Mic in their hands! If you like
and support a singer you will almost always put your money where your mouth is…. generally!
@ ZAM ZHINGA, @THAT B*TCH
He’s not the first male to rap and sing either. But he IS the first male to brag and boast about his skills while being talentless at both rapping AND singing. I’ll give him that.
b**** is feeling her p**** for no reason ……….. the b**** is a joke and softer than my pillow.
Speaking of b****** feeling up their p******, girl where yo been at? I feel like you been avoiding me sis? You hurting my feelings.
how bad of me !
@Pop
Yeah, you’ve been a true and through c*** for neglecting me! Tearing up just thinking about it. :'(
i’m sorry ! but for real and believe me , i didn’t neglect you. i like u
@Pop
Okay. I forgive you.
So touching , loves! making me get all hot and bothered!
dam cut it out King and pop!
oh ok then…never really considered what he did to be “singing” tho
maybe he meant from Canada? *shrug* because Lauryn Hill popped in my head immediately.. or maybe he meant male? or maybe he reflects the ignorance in music today where folks think because they don’t respect the past they started something new?! boo he needs to stop trying to be the first something, only title with first he can run with is the first dude to hop on wayne’s d***.
Thats right from canada! but them celine and Justin is from canada also. Oh well different subject and different day.
Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Andre 3000…
Exactly !
JAMES BROWN
i’m rolling at the comments , i am not the only one who referred to him as a “girl”.
Did u snap your fingers in Z-formation after referring to him as “girl” ?
Ní féidir liom a thuiscint.
s***, even BRANDY rapped a little bit. this dude needs to QUIT.
In my eyes he was the first artist I knew was a d*** and a twat lol
NOW JAMES BROWN WAS THE FIRST TEENA MARIE(QUARE BIZ) queen latifah MARIAH CAREY(PRISIONER) HER FIRST ALBUM BRAKE DOWN ect…… lauryn hill missy bone thug mary j ALL THESE ARTIST CAME WAY BEFORE HIM WHAT THE F*** IS HE SMOKEN……………..N**** PLEASE SIT YO ASS DOWN.
You’re right!
You forgot bobby brown
True!
BYE Drake!
I’m really not feeling Drake anymore anyway. So he is not going to take my money then brag about what’s he about. I really wish he goes back to Canada
Since this B**** through a bottle and ran in the bathroom she’s been feeling her herself, Bye Miss Drake
As much as I like Drake I must say this dude is a f****** fool!! He can’t really singing he just speaks on tone. As others have said others have done both before and better than him.
Hold on, he is one of POP’S more viable acts. But you will type Nicki Minaj is a rapper with a straight face? Oh…
~~~~~~~~~~~~NICKI//HAS//UR//MIND~~~~~~~~~~~~
PERIOD!!!!! 2 #1 PLATINUM ALBUMS LATER COUNTLESS BILLBOARDS & ACCOLADES YOU WILL DEAL!
you forgot to put one of those platinum albums hasn’t even sold 600k yet!!!!!!!!!!!
also not countless billboard awards she has a few, and no grammys.
You must face the truth
Drake you poor lost soul…give me some money and meat, please.
Missy Elliott was the first person to come to mind. But Lauren Hill should be considered the epitome of successfully rapping and singing on one album.
Yessir!
True but drakes bragging isn’t new some do it off and
on all of the time.
Nelly definitely came BEFORE Drake’s time as well as a lot of other rappers who mixed up rapping and singing. Drake needs to sit his ass down!
Drake have several seats on my d***! Lauren Hill HELLO!..Bone Thugs-N-Harmony!
Ugh! I swear I can’t stand this down syndrome looking mofo! The nerve of him to say he was the first! N**** you ain’t even the most successful person to do it! It’s hilarious that he actually thinks he can sing! LMFAO!
Somebody tell Aubitch aka wheel chair Jimmy to sit his ass down somewhere & STAY there! SMFH!
ROTF,,,,LMAO
he must be day dreaming…. kanye,missy and nelly did that before he dreamed of doing that
ummm!!! BOne thug and harmony and Miss ELloit, he sounds real stupid rite now
His ego needs to be knocked down a notch…
Seriously…?
James Brown was the first person to ever rap. Though the style of rap has changed, Brown was the first…He was a singer and technically speaking, a rapper.

Drake sit your ass down.
Not to mention the numerous R&B and Hip Hop artists that emerged way before him.
Lauryn Hill was the first hip hop artist to win album of the year.
“At the 41st Grammy Awards, Hill was nominated ten times, making her the first female to ever be nominated ten times in one year. She won five Grammys, including Best New Artist, Best R&B Song, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Album and Album of the Year,[43] making The Miseducation the first hip hop oriented album to ever receive that award.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miseducation_of_Lauryn_Hill
As aforementioned…
Drake sit your ass down.
Bobby brown did it in 1987 with his dont be cruel album
Bobby Brown won Album of the Year at the grammys? Are u sure? I don´t know about that and for some reason it sounds really starnge
Go to YOU TUBE AND LOOK UP ROCK WIT YA AND DONT BE CRUEL AND THE SONG HE DID FOR GHOSTBUSTERS AND TENDER RONI HELL ALL HIS SONGS DID
Come ON DRAKE LAURYN HILL BEEN DID THAT and she CAN ACTUALLY SAAANNNGG!! WHEREAS DRAKE NOT SO MUCH,l STUDIO ONLY MAKES HIS SINGING SOUND DECENT!!!!
Even MONICA been DID THAT ON SO GONE IN 2003!!!
DRAKESHIA LAZADO MUST BE ON HER PERIOD TAKE NO NOTICE PEOPLE THE HORMONES ARE PLAYING HAVOC WITH HIS EMOTIONS SO DELUSION IS EXPECTED AT HER TIME OF THE MONTH

I guess you forgot about of them on your ego trip Aubrey. Take several seats.
That boy needs a stadium of seats. Several just won’t do.
Missy Elliot, Lauryn Hill?
Shut up, Drake.
Drayar
Andre 3000 and Lauryn Hill do both much better.
Im tired of him and nicki acting like they are significant in hip hop culture.
Yea but we are the ones that put Nicki & Drake there. We buy their CD’s that’s why they can say s*** like this. Drakes brags about almost everything except running in that bathroom that night.
Not only is Drake into himself, he’s ugly also. Don’t know what some women see in him. Those eyebrows looks like grocho mark. Matter that picture really looks like him all he needs is a cigar.
also craig david can rap and sing too god drake showing off -_-
No Drakes not showing off he’s bragginhg. But he’ not that much of a singer and his rapping is like he’s on drugs. He drags when he raps.
Please. I get fed up with these so-called rappers, and their arrogance. Drake is not even well established yet, and it is always the one’s still quite fresh in the game that are the most arrogant.
Nelly and Ja are famous for that rap-singing stuff, and that is why many Hip Hop fans considered their music Hip Pop.
Not to mention several female rappers that came long before this dude even existed.
Drake reminds me of Keri Hilson…both are not well off yet, yet their personalities are full of arrogance as if they are the best to come along since sliced bread.
This dude is not even talented, and what he does is not rap nor singing. Drake is nothing, but a fluke and I don’t believe he’ll last long.
The question is: she is successful?
NO. another local act who’s full of herself.
LMAO!
WTFU DRAKE…
DID THIS FOOL REALLY JUST TRY ERASE LAURYN HILL & MISSY ELLIOT FROM TH HISTORY BOOKS??

BEAUTIFUL CZECH TOPAZ BEADED SPARKLING RING!!
http://yardsellr.com/for_sale#!/beautiful-czech-topaz-beaded-sparkling-ring-4909888
I just can’t with this era of counterfeit pop stars (Drake, Nicki, Gaga) repeating what others who were around before them already did — and better, while trying to make themselves seem like they’re original and forging new ground. And because their idiot ass fans were born after 1995, and don’t know any better, they get away with it.
Not only is Drake not the first, he’s not even most successful to do it. If I wanted to, I could name over a dozen acts who merged rapping and singing (and better than he did.)
I will be SO grateful when these current “wave” of “pop stars” finally die out. They’re making a mockery of everything.
Full of himself. Like most hiphop artists.
Lmfao F*** outta here drake you not even a real singer….n**** dont sing s*** without auto tune! ms hill the first to ever do it succesfully then missy elliot both real vocalist with real rap lyrics
Wrong! Nelly, 50 cent.
So I’m not a huge Nelly fan but he raps and sings. he was the most successful (by way of sales) artist of last decade.Really Fake??…I mean Drake?
Dumb Canadian n****. Maybe in the land of hockey sticks and Degrassi, they’re clueless enough to think he did it first, but the rest of the world knows that’s a bald face less. Drake’s gated community, grew-up-on Degrassi ass knows nothing about hip hop or urban music. He may as well do electro pop like his female counterpart Nicki. He’s corny. When is HARD hip hop coming back? I’m ready for the thugs to run fools like Drake out.
LMFAO I wonder if the people telling Drake’s ass off on his timeline (Twitter).
Sit down with your st bernard looking ass
Apparently, he’s never heard of Lauryn Hill–who was both a better singer AND a better rapper than he.
He’s right. Queen Latifah wasn’t really successful at . . . oh . . . wait . . . . DOH!
Lol
whoa drake.. back up bruh. before you were rapping there was nelly and flo-rida.. and they were pretty successful. and even missy elliott..
Andre 3000, lauryn hill, Missy Elliot, etc have won grammys for singing and rapping. I usually dont comment but come on Drake!!
Oh,Really ?BYE BOY !
So I guess artists such as Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah, Nate Dogg etc. haven’t sung and rapped at the same time?His ego is too big. Boy sit your ass down . Go and throw bottles in the club .
well Lauryn Hill did it best and was way more successful…her first album sold like 20 million Worldwide…and the Fugess sold many albums…Drake failed Hip Hop history class…Shiiit…Missy can sang as well and did it real big and original before Drake became famous…50 cent, JaRule, Nelly, and Bone Thugs (personal fav) already did it with harmonies….WHAT’S going on????
UMM, JA RULE… LAURYN HILL… KANYE WEST… BONE THUGS AND HARMONY… MISSY ELLIOT…
WHO IN THE F*** ARE YOU DRAKE???
YOU WEREN’T THE FIRST… NOW SIT YOUR DUMB ASS IN FAR BACKSEAT ON THE SHORT BUS…
Drake sorry boo but Lauryn has snatched that title and I’m pretty sure there are others. Not to mention queen bey’s amazing skills in “Carmen”. I think he may have meant there have been rappers who have sang and singers who have rapped but never really an artist who maintained a balance and could be labled either one interchangeably. But like I said, all of that could be said for Lauryn hill
listening to Ex-Factor by Lauryn Hill…wake me when Drake makes a song as deep as this…and he can’t Sang like Ms. Hill…soo pissed off at Drake right now…He’s such an arrogant b****-ass right now…OR better yet, give us something as creative or game-changing as Missy’s s*** from like 1997-2003—can’t stand these “new” folk in music at times…they think they invented this s***……F**k outta here!!!!
Immediately to my mind is Ja Rule, DMX, EVE, Missy, Timberland and Magoo, Outkast, Slick Rick, 50 Cent, Latifah, Nelly. Puff Daddy, Kid n Play, ya see that’s why I don’t respect him as an artist and I never will. A little paper got this dude completely erasing artist that paved the way to his success. Boo and done nothing new. Got Drugs?
I hope y’all let Drake cakes have it on Twitter.
” it doesn’t take him 6 hours to get ready. He doesn’t have to act like this or talk like this”. I don’t what male artist takes 6 hours to get ready. He must be talking about Ncki Minaj. All that make up and styling…fake accents. Hhhhmmmm….
Imma need drake to sit down with that, he must have forgotten about Lauryn, Missy, Queen Latifah, Andre 3000, & many more…smh
Look. I’m gonna just keep it real.
Drake is a bafoon.
He must have forgotten about the artists such as ja rule, nelly, 50 cent and even bone thugs that came before him–many of these artists that have out sold drake by millions. And this is just men I am talking about–I’m not even counting acts like Missy and Lauryn Hill.
I guess what he really meant was that he is the first rapper and singer to be horrible at it and successful at the same time.
Louis Jordon, look up Beware Brother Beware, I believe he was before James Brown.
I can’t listen to what YMCMB talking about.
Drake please come off your retarded a** high horse and google LAURYN HILL the greatest musican ever not to mention she sings and rap with 8 grammys and only 1 album and her impact now there how many grammys do you have how many albums will you release before you get one oh and who did you impact so please shut up
Good day! I just would like to give you a huge thumbs up for the great info you have here on this post.
I’ll be coming back to your website for more soon.
