Drake Drops Free His Mixtape Again, This Time For $$$
Filed under: Music Minute
Are people willing to buy what they can get for free online?
Drake seems to think so as he is retail releasing his previously free mixtape to the masses on Sept. 15th. The disc will feature his hits Best I Ever Had and Successful, as well as a new song that will serve as a transition to his actual album, Thank Me Later.
We don't see the point in this at all, other than to sucker money out of people. And most of his fans will probably already have this, since, until recently, they could get it for free!!!
We're thinking this is just a greedy, greedy move.
What do U think?

he lookz
like
a
bull fighter..heheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
He looks like Bobabooey
wooohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I think people will buy it, especially the kids in my school, since they weren't fans before 'Best I Ever Had' played on the radio.
But the only reason they'd buy it, is because it's 'cool' to like songs that play on the radio.
Fucking Posers.
ALL I THINK OF WHEN I LOOK AT HIM IS DEGRASSI. FOREVER.
I think people should buy it. Name another musician that put there music out for free like that????
who?
I just can't take Jimmy from Degrassi seriously as a musician.
Who dressed this young man?
i love drake, he should have charged money in the very first place for his songs, he deserves some cash for his hard work and great songs!
damn this dude is busted .. he needs to use the money to fix his face, if thats possible
Re: b a t k i s s – Hey! either vacation or slow at work…. you are never out here this much….
How is it greedy??? If your stupid enough to pay for it when its free it just mean your dumb.
What a fucktard.
i think he is very cute
never liked drake, never will
Not greedy, dude's just trying to make some cash.. That's such a bad pic of him too..
Re: Jai – agreed
dont you wanna get paid for YOUR work? dumbasses… im sure if he was in charge of which pics he would have picked a better one DUHH dont act like ur photogenic hahaha
Re: JigSaw – Good MorningRe: BeautifulBrunnette69 – Morning, very bad pic, he usually looks pretty cute, but I think Perez gets off on using horrible pics so I'm not surprised .
he's ugly and stupid. Ugh.
Baba Booey!!!!!!!!!!
this guy is a loser. I am sick of the people who associate themselves with "posses" just to further their own careers. But hey if this talentless one hit wonder follows in his butt fucker lil waynes footsteps, then he will have a best selling album out followed by a rock album. No punk ass bitch from Degrassi will EVER be respected as a "rapper." I miss the days when rappers took the auto tuner out their asses and rapped straight up to a sick ass beat. No effects. No gimmicks. This guy is a fucking tool. And he is truely "the worst I ever heard" in a while!
he'z yummy; but not savy because he'z hot right now, he should release a new mixtape && then charge fa that one since now he has a bigger fanbase && make money off his popularity. ..
&& on another note (FL Shady Bitch) don b a hata, it aint coo/ especially cuz u livn in fl , he'z doin it right now. ..r u?????? lol
i think i can't stand his music. after seeing him get shot on Degrassi and the trashtastic acting skills..he's hard for me to take seriously
According to Wikipedia: "Aubrey Graham was born in Toronto, Ontario, the son of Dennis Graham, a drummer who worked with Jerry Lee Lewis; he is the nephew of musicians Larry Graham and Teenie Hodges. Graham's father is African American (a native of Memphis, Tennessee) and his mother, an educator, is a white Jewish Canadian. His parents divorced when he was five, and he was raised by his mother in Toronto's wealthy Forest Hill neighbourhood, attending elementary school at Forest Hill Public School, and high school at Forest Hill Collegiate Institute, where he began acting, but did not graduate. He also spent many summers with his father in Memphis, Tennessee."
Sounds like yet another POSER.
Re: yadayada_girl –
EVERY rapper has mixtapes. Most put out 10x more mixtapes than albums. Lil wayne has about 25, 50 cent has about 40 with the gunit ones included. Kanye has one called LVs and Autotune which is all the songs that didnt make the 808s album.
And theyre all free, like drakes one was.
Well he does have the right to release them they are his songs why is he greedy he will release it with minimal advertising some money and return from those sales is better than no money .
I wouldn't even download the FREE mixtape, not worth my time thank you very much.
Hows it greedy!? He gave a free download to the song(s), a lot of artists do that, It's like limited time thing to help promote their music, then they take away the free download and make everyone else pay whop hadn't already downloaded it. He worked on that song and making music isn't easy or free. It costs MONEY to record! He's 100% entitled to the money he should've earned in the first place!
drakes a idiot. there will be people dumb enough to pay for it. but this has to be the stupidest move ever
I think people should only speak on what they know….alot of artist put of free music…if u ask me that great…especially in this economy….and if you are actually into rap and listen to his music you would know that he is one of the most talented artist out today…and has acting to back him up….so for the "gossip whores" and people who hate just remember: he had or has rihanna so just sit back and envy all you want!!…..:-p
He swears he is the real shit, when truly he is a one-hit wonder, go back to being a physically disabled asshole in Degrassi. You would make a lot more money there.
I'm thinking he is not making "Tour" money anymore so he has to get some cash somehow…he has maintain the lifestyle he brags about in his songs!
Wow. Everyone here should shut the effff up! Half of you are talking about his looks and the other half don't know issh about Hip-Hop! About real HIP-HOP!
You know this dude is doing his thing when Jay-Z told all of Ny on HOT 97 that Drake is best new rapper out right now! The haters need to really listen to his music and maybe…just maybe ya would learn something about Hip-Hop.
Ya'll saying he "poses"? Not every rapper has to be from the streets and hustling half of their lives to be a good rapper! What a lot of people don't understand is that it takes a very intelligent person to put words together that rhyme, makes sense and sounds hott. *Urban Poetry*
Drake's lyrics are sick and no new-bees can touch him right now! I'm glad he's selling his music now. Gives me and all of the real fans a chance to buy his music and show appreciation for his hard work.
It's sad that he lip syncs.
Once Jimmy Brooks. ALWAYS Jimmy Brooks. Jimmy ~n~ Ashley or Hazel or Ellie 4 Eva!
OH YEAH ITS SO GREEDY TO TRY TO SELL YOUR OWN MUSIC..PEREZ YOURE A FUCKIN IDIOT

not like these wanna be rappers and theyre shit.
I love it either way! i mean he even brought music to degrassi when he was on the show! he's got a musical background (his dad) and is pretty talented…. he writes for lil wayne too… He's holdin his own…. i mean he has to be pretty good if he's been accepted by so many artists! look at who he's already collaborated with!! you guys need to do your research before you talk shit! and really, what do looks have to do with your music?? how many busted ass rappers/singers are popular despite their appearances!! come on!!
how is that being greedy? others get paid for their music. that is his job now.
He would look better if he had on of those 6 inch flat tops from the 90's. Get on it Drake.
