There's a line in So Far Gone, "buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disc." It turns out that isn't far from the truth. A Canadian Record Label decided it would be a good idea to throw some of the tracks from So Far Gone together and call it The Girls Love Drake, and release it as an album. Drake would reap none of the benefits of course and his management snuffed out the scandal pretty quick. The album has since been removed from iTunes. Maybe he can have a line on his real debut, "buzz so big record companies steal my music and sell it as their own." This news is another tidbit in what is becoming a full blown commotion around Drizzy. I'm not currently in the States, but it seems to me that Drake is pretty much everywhere. It's probably safe to call him the most anticipated new hip-hop artist since 50 Cent. Supposedly record labels are fighting hard over his dick and are throwing some big figures at him. His first single Best I Ever Had is currently skyrocketing up the charts, already residing at 18 on the HOT 100 after a mere three weeks (MJ you are going to be proven wrong soon enough). Jay-Z has hopped on the bandwagon as well enlisting Drake for the first Blueprint 3 single. Speaking of Blueprint 3 the street single, Death of Autotune, is supposedly dropping in like 5 minutes. So if it does I will tell you about it and stuff.
Update- The song came out. I listened to it on a Radio Stream. It was good. I give it a sick. Whether or not it really is the death of autotune is yet to be determined.
