Drake hit the stage at the 2011 American Music Awards to perform his single “Headlines.”
Backed by a live band, the Young Money rapper zipped up in a hoodie to perform the track off of Take Care, with red-and-white lights flashing behind him
Check the performance below.

cant deny his energy
sure i can why i cant i. but ur right i wont deny it he has a very negative engery and energy that would have 2pac and biggie dissin if they was alive to hear dis bull shit the game so whack when some canadian rich kid can get up and rap about all the struglles he’s had oh wait he’s never had to struggle a day in his life. America’s brainwashed if they think this guy is real!
are we hearin the same song? He just tellin his story, dude is defintely not frontin
2pac and Biggie’s era was completely different…like it or not Hip-Hop is changin
You cant spit about the same things and have everyone relate
I aint gonna lie though he needs deeper content, but dude can spit
Oh yea – fuck you
2 Pac only dissed people who dissed him and Biggie was a Bad Boy, who moved in silence, so you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, bitch.
Just telling his story? lol He never mobbed a day in his life. He grew up in a rich neighborhood just outside Toronto and never had to fight for a damn thing in his life. If youre gonna dick ride at least dick ride someone proper
why doesnt drake sing when he performs live?…so you dont rap or really sing…lol…stick to rapping drake your good at it
what u just said didn’t make any sense. stick to just hating inside of ur brain and stop typing.
I worked in the wardrobe department for all this and by the time this dude got done performing, all the clothes had been transformed into cashmere sweaters and all the lotion bottles had been replenished.
Too bad you don’t get any pussy because you a lame lol………….
I believe you are lame sir! why did you have to bring up pussy? perhaps maybe he is getting some butthole, nookie or bussum, or even a good handy.
HAHA @ the 700 line at the end of the second verse.
album was way too soft for me, but the kid bout to make a KILLIN for real on the charts haha
haha didnt catch that 700 line
people who use computers to comment on hip hop sites are too soft for the streets. you just like the rest of us cowards, who listen to hard music and wish it was us.
Joe Budden was right we did kill hip hop.
50 cent got us looking at numbers with that Kanye competition. (listen to who killed hip hop.)
Stop being a numbers whore J.Cole is decent, but he has done WAAAYYYYY better. the cd showed he was versatile, but shows no skill: “Your son out in Barbados/ cheese eggs and potatoes… Cole heating up like that left over LASGNA”???????????? Lmao (at your name too)
Don’t get me started on that whole funny voice shit… lol (Listen to: “Who killed hip hop”
YEAH U KNEW I HAD TO COME REPRESENT FOR DRIZZY
“IF WE TALKING BOUT NUMBERS, MAN IT LOOK LIKE 700 WE DA BUSINESS 100 MILLION DOLLARS *HAND RUB*
I heard the numbers coming in for the first week, but his album is more than just some numbers. He told his story and didn’t have to make up any lies. Many of us listen to gangsta rappers that aren’t really hard like they rap. I salute Drake for staying tru despite all the hate.
Staying true like talking about “mobbing” and how Aubrey is going to “catch a body”? That kind of staying true?
Nothing about Drake is real or true. He used to be an actor. He went to acting school. That should tell you exactly how real he keeps it. He is one of the biggest artificial rappers ever.
He copied a Big Tymers song damn near word for word for a whole song. And on the best song of the whole wack cd he uses 2 different Wayne hooks. He’s fraudulent as fuck.
garbage
This. Drake is garbage
your music is garbage you ugly bald bitch
that profile pic is fucking hideous, and the name is stupid as fuck. The bitch in their has a 7 head.
*there
he waved to luda at the end ahaha jp
DRAKE IS ONE OF HIP HOP WEAKEST PERFORMERS #ENUFFsaid

Darke is a homosexual & was eatinf Penis on the way to the AMA’s. He also took one up the poopshoot because he is mad gay.
let’s think about what you just said, “he was eating penis on his way to the AMA’s and he took one up the poopshoot because he is mad gay”…i’m going to go ahead and state the obvious; You envisioned all of that shit in your head while you were typing it, while we have no proof if Drake has actually done those things, you have actually thought of those kind of things.
Ahahahaha, Yup, everyone knows Drake loves weiners & buttox.
what is it with these “straight” niggas and buttsex jokes?
I wish I wasn’t so late on females
NOTICE HOW DRAKE DIDNT EVEN ATTEMPT ANY OF HIS SINGING PARTS!!!… LMFAO… HE NEVER DOES!!!… WHY??? MIGHT YOU ASK???… BECAUSE HE CANT SING… LOL PUT THE SINGING DOWN AND GO BACK TO THAT SUPER LYRICAL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT/ COMEBACK SEASON DRAKE… CUZ I WILL FOREVER BUMP THAT

^^& your a homosexual.
Darke is a fan of Penis.
