I spotted this via Rappers I Know. Hmm… interesting. Thoughts?
“Drake will be the last rapper to sell more than 500,000 copies of a debut album. Ever.“
As some of you may know, Drake’s family has a history in music. Check out the video below if Drake’s uncle, Larry Graham. He is from Beaumont… soulful I tell ya.

This would make a great wedding song. @Jai I agree about the boots lol

about the drake theroy thats a very bold statement for one person to say. i disagree with the theroy only because theres always someone better than the next person. so maybe 5years from now there be another rapper that will sell 500,000 copies there first week too

Debut album….. as in an artist’s FIRST album. Lil Wayne already dropped his first album a while ago.

I’ve always loved that song and my parents love it, too.
Holay crap o.0

@Karla thanks a lot and to be honest i think your the one of the reason drake has some many fans the way your running this website keep doing a great job.

ha ha the boots are the Biz.
@ the comment, I cant totally agree that he will be the last, he is up there to make his mark and I believe he wil but when it come to hip-hop it will never die an artist is born/created/found everyday. Its always someone to push the bar higher.

lol I thought about eddie murphy singing this song lol wow!!! but I see where drake got his puppy eyes from aaawww
October 25th, 2009at 9:47 PM(#)
I don’t he will be the last rapper to sell 500k or more in first week because there are stll rappers that are like weezy that had been releasing materials for so long and not been noticed.. lets take Phonte for a reason and second of all Eminem Relapse 2.
October 25th, 2009at 9:49 PM(#)
+ 5th hadn’t dropped an album in two years BFISD we can see how that one goes but it’s very bold to make that statement as a person above said because if Drake is the last to sell 500k Hip Hop is at a very bad rate.

Dude, DEBUT ALBUM lol. That’s an artist’s First Album of all time.
October 25th, 2009at 10:16 PM(#)

Wait til my mom hears this.
LOL
October 25th, 2009at 10:59 PM(#)
I’ve always liked this song, but never knew who sung it. That’s so cool that it’s his uncle.
October 26th, 2009at 9:05 AM(#)

Debut as in FIRST albmu
October 26th, 2009at 1:02 PM(#)
ain’t that the truth….DOPE!
October 26th, 2009at 6:43 PM(#)
WAO!
I was Listening to the song and my mom came out of nowhere asking who is the name of the artist. when I told her, she only said,
“That is a good song. Good music runs on his family”
LOL! but actually, It’s a great song. and yes I do love the boots. =]
And people Please re-read when Karla post somthing, because she wrote TWO times that it’s Drizzy’s 1st Album.
Thank you and Goodbye.
