Anyway, Aubrey “Drake” Graham (although Drake is actually his middle name so perhaps the quotation marks are redundant) hails from Toronto, Canada. He rose to fame by playing a wheelchair bound character in the Canadian teen drama Degrassi: the Next Generation and gained so much street cred in doing so he though he would be a fantastic rapper. Inspired by T-Pain’s ascent he found himself an incredibly talented singer, too and he got it cracking recording a bunch of mixtapes which he released independently, including his third: So Far Gone. This one became so successful that a hit single Best I Ever Had was released off it and some of the tracks, the ones which didn’t steal expensive-to-clear bits and pieces from the Swedish hipster Indie rock or rap music Mr. Graham likes to listen to, were commercially released as the So Far Gone EP. Since then Drake released his debut studio album Thank Me Later which sold a lot of copies. Also, he has gained a lot of imitators such as Wiz Khalifa, although Wiz only sounds like him. He raps about Pittsburg and pot rather than having sex while crying. My quest to find out why anybody gives a fuck begins with reviewing the So Far Gone mixtape. I am not looking forward to this as I take the guy about as seriously as, or maybe even less than fellow Canadian jackass Justin Bieber.
