    ***REAL TALK***

    I’m really, really, REALLY curious to see how Drake’s ‘Take Care’ does. I mean, now that CBreezy 2.0 has triumphantly returned upon the scene, what’ll this mean for the likes of Drake?

    @TGJ staff – Drake had “the stage” pretty much ALL to himself, hence those1.2-Million units moved. (My thoughts?) Well…those ‘discretionary consumer dollars’ have become increasingly constricted, and are now even “fewer and further” between. It’s NOW..’binary’ and there can ONLY be one; (Long-story short?) With CBrezzy 2.0 NOW upon the scene, it’ll SHARPLY diminish Drake’s ‘Take Care’ sales!

    The Plot Thickens.. (Wheelchair Jimmy’s ’bout to get jacked!!)

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT…!!

  25. i’m a LOUD howlin’ billy goat June 9, 2011

    I agree with the 1st poster, I over Drake at this point! He had a good year but he could take 2011 off as far as I’m concerned. He’s new single is just A**!

    LOL…. he would have no musical career without YM. Lets see how far he would get without them!! 🙂

  28. MGT June 10, 2011

    lmao at the first post! Glad Bey didn’t put him on her CD? Again, lmao!! Well that makes two of us cause that project is a disaster!!!!! Drizzy deserves better than that has-been tbh. Yeah I said it. We’re talkin past and future here.

    This CD has all the makings of being one of the best of this year. From what I’ve heard, this guy is on firrrre!! Of course no one here knows it cause this is fckin’ Grape Juice where clueless thirsty folks congregate lmao

    Marvin’s Room been trending all day…so has take care and drake himself. He’s been missed and will slay….I promise you that!

    @MGT re: June 10, 2011 at 6:02 am —

    As “thirsty” as we, here on TGJ are, can you ALSO promise us to speak the truth?

    1.)Does ‘The Jew Rapper’ get his (paid for) rhymes texted to him via Blackberry?
    2.)And just WHO is the ‘Ghost Writer’ on the OTHER end of those…”Drake-say-it-this-way text messages”?
    3.)When’s the last time a rapper, ANY rapper had to use ANY book/device to then show HIS art? (Real rappers don’t do that! Real rappers will NEVER have to do that! Real rappers, from the hood, are taught (from knee height) that “the mastery of the spoken word”…’flows’ and doesn’t need any said/such…impurities, contaminants, crutches.. You see, Wheelchair Jimmy couldn’t possibly know this, they don’t teach that at Degrassi High, or any parts in/around ‘Jew-Strong Forrest Hill,’ Toronto, Canada!)

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT…!!
