I memorized I can make your pussy whistle/ Like the Andy Griffith theme song almost immediately. It was like Lil’ Wayne had scooped him straight out of his TV wheelchair to join Young Money. The 100th and last episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation that a young Aubrey Graham appeared in was titled “ Lost In Love Part 1.” The same day that episode aired in the U.S., Graham, as Drake, dropped his single “ Best I Ever Had.” His TV character, Jimmy Brooks, was also a rapper-he and ex-girlfriend Ashley used to perform together, most notably at the talent show in season seven. Yet here we are, all this time later, and he's still singing all the same things-only with more confidence and from someplace deeper in his diaphragm. The part where he offers to tattoo her name on his heart is corny as hell, even if this was before he got his first tattoo (the OVO owl on his shoulder blade). But he's only being a bit naive if he truly believes that a flurry of ones will do it. It’s sweet but selfish when he advices the dancer he desires, Until you find yourself, it’s impossible to loose you/ Because I never had you. Beyond that, "Houstalantavegas"-which is named for the triad of cities which boast the richest strip-club culture-neatly encapsulates everything Drake was, is, and (probably) will be about. Listening back to " Houstalantavegas” today, he sounds almost entirely unrecognizable: his voice is thin and his tone hushed, as if he were signing to an audience of one. In the half-dozen years since So Far Gone was released, Drake has gotten really good at singing.
