Fans who turned out in droves to witness the Summer Sixteen Tour at Kansas City’s Sprint Center were amongst the first to be privy to a bit of exclusive information that could liven up a stadium.
No, it wasn’t another Joe Budden jab; that saga has deemed itself to be a one-manned race. According to Drizzy himself, he is currently working on a new mixtape and is already planning how its release will land him right back on the road.
As he bid the Missouri crowd farewell, he made the revelation.
“I want [you all] to protect yourself and everyone around you and spread love; spread good energy,” he told his adoring public. “Because you know what? What I saw tonight was a beautiful building of beautiful people from all races and all places. And I want you to protect yourselves and each other so when I go and work on this new mixtape and come back to Kansas City and I drop that shit, I wanna see everybody in this motherfucka, boy!”
The Summer Sixteen Tour is co-headlining endeavor alongside his What a Time to Be Alive partner, Future in support of his recently released album, Views. Despite it being deemed a critically disjointed affair, the project has been a massive commercial success; having spent ten weeks atop the Billboard 200 albums chart and earning a platinum certification as of July of this year.
That being said, projects classified as mixtapes have proven to be Drake’s forte on both the critical and commercial front. If having a record off his breakout tape, 2009’s So Far Gone, being nominated for a Grammy wasn’t precedence enough, look not further than the barriers he broke for his fourth mixtape, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.
Released via surprise format on February 13, 2015, the mixtape not only broke Spotify records, with over 17.3 million streams in the first three days, it allowed him to become the first rapper to top the Billboard Artist 100.
In other words, it’s game on and over whenever this recently announced mixtape hits the market.
Check out the fan captured footage of Drake’s revelation below.
Who wants to bet he doesn’t write it himself?! Yo Joey time for part 5. End him
Your rite! He doesnt jst write for himself, he writes for other people! Budden only writes for himself, datz why he aint shit¡
So apparently we can type “m!xt@pe” regularly but the posted comment keeps getting deleted right away if we do so. You’re halfway there, DX.
10 weeks at number 1 but only certified platinum. Overrated rnb singer/pop artist
Dont mind the sh!tty writer lol album already 2x plat going 3x plat
Thanks to streams…
Yeah that’s all we need is more music from his Ghost writers. Drake either you can go into the studio and make music and write lyrics you can flow to or you can’t. I’m not going to give Drake credit for somebody else talent. Besides, Drake is over rated and his music isn’t that good to be on the charts for 11 weeks. It’s Apple a big corporation pushing it for their profit on the back end because Views is Whack.
Not too bright are you? Contradicting yourself in the same sentence smh
give me my euthanasia! imma becoming angry and mad that imma still alive. this life must end asap!!!
Drake lost to Joe Budden, Drake go take a break.
Drake will back to back him!
Don’t you hate when you try to post a comment and it doesn’t work so you keep trying and it post like 15 identical comments
Gotta give it to that boy he goes to work
And people dont even know soul Khan and Kendrick Lamar are on the same album
Ghostwriters UNITE!
Everyone says they hate Drake, but the industry (including Gucci Mane and Future) love him. So who you gonna listen to? Some white boy on the internet or Gucci? Think about it.
I don’t hate Drake. I hate his music. And thanks, no, I won’t listen to a retarded nigga like Gucci Mane.
Yeah, because Gucci is the end all, be all on who makes good music. FOH!
so one minute only white people support drake, then another minute you are saying they hate him. make up your mind.
I don’t hate drake, I hate the confusion, dude is not a rapper, he is like chris brown, he is a pop r&b performer, not a rapper though. IF they stop calling him a rapper id probably be a fan, but as long as people calling him the best rapper I cant deal with it, his last three biggest songs don’t have any rapping in them, hotline bling, controller, one dance…..HE NOT A RAPPER!!!!
So if he raps AND sings, then all of a sudden he isn’t a rapper? That sounds like it doesn’t make sense. Let’s say tomorrow Kendrick decided to sing his own hooks. He’d still be a rapper that sang his own hook. Nothing wrong with that. There are already enough labels in the rap and hip hop community, so why would you want to confine and create more barriers?
You just sound stupid. You may not be but to me you sound like a fuckin moron but maybe its just me lol
DRAKE SUCKS!
So excited! Can’t wait! It’s been a while since I heard him name drop an ex, tell a story of one of his friend’s in Toronto, or sing things that don’t make any sense.
I will never like Drake he’s a clown
Stop releasing your garbage so called music that’s made for pussies.
