This is not, nor will it ever be a blog about celeb gossip. Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE celebrity gossip whore, but I just can't be bothered with keeping up with it all enough to report on it. But if there's someone who inspires me, I shall blog.
Case in point, my sis and I had a hilarious conversation about Drake. Well, I didn't get many words in because she was going nuts! I don't have a very strong opinion about Drake. I do happen to like his songs that I hear but I'm sure I would enjoy him more without alllllll the hype surrounding him. So, I was talking (and by talking I mean IM'ing) to my sister who happens to be out of the country at the moment and she asked "Do you know this Drake dude?" I say yes. Since she's not in the US she asks about his buzz. I proceed to tell her what I've heard, including "There hasn't been an artist this impactful since 50 Cent hit the scene." Her rant was hilarious and I shall post it here. Remember these are her views, not mine. But I do find great enjoyment in laughing at this:
my sis: (12:03:17 PM) i'm not a huge fan of heavy use of the N word anyway, but i'm especially bothered by it when drake says it (12:04:16 PM): he's riding a thin line with his high yellow skin and soft wavy "nice" hair that just screams i'm half white
(12:04:48 PM): on top of the fact that i know his background and his parents were divorced when he was 5 and he was raised by his white jewish mother in an upper class jewish neighborhood in canada
(12:05:25 PM): so it rubs me the wrong way to hear how entitled he feels to throwing it around
ME: (12:05:46 PM): lmao...this is still as enjoyable...keep going
(12:06:37 PM): especially in this one song where a few lines later he mentions his jewish aunt and throws out a "mausle tauf" (or however u spell that jewish phrase for congratulations)...its just not okay with
(12:06:38 PM): me
(12:07:10 PM): not to mention there's something about his whole overall image that just doesn't sit well with me
(12:07:19 PM): its all well and fine if u want to be a rapper
(12:08:18 PM): but there's something so counterintuitive about his ridiculously metro sexual pretty boy image
(12:08:21 PM): and background for that matter
(12:08:50 PM): he came off that show degrassi...where if u look at what he looked like then u might just straight up wonder if he was gay...cuz i did
(12:09:02 PM): again, if u wanna be a metrosexual maybe even gay rapper, more power to u
(12:09:03 PM): BUT
(12:09:11 PM): i just can't bring myself to understand what the hype about him is
(12:10:48 PM): it seems to me that if u'd have to be an exceptionally talented somebody to get the world to embrace u in spite of ur high yellow skin, wavy "nice hair, rich jewish background and raising, AND metroxeual as idk what BUT N-word using, hard sounding image and presentation
(12:11:11 PM): and yet...his skills are but mediocre
ME: (12:11:17 PM): haha - ur all riled up again... teehee
(12:11:33 PM): and he's not bringing anything new to the table
(12:12:04 PM): yeah yeah u made it to the top, ur making money, ur getting girls ur living the life in the limelight...so is everybody else and their mother
(12:13:28 PM): u want me to make a big deal out of u inspite of ur less than a turn on of an image, i need u to show me and the rest of the world something different, somethiing that blows our minds cuz its so beyond what we could have expected or imagined
(12:13:43 PM): drake doesn't do that for me, so everyone should stop all this hooplah about him
(12:13:44 PM): that is all
(12:13:51 PM): and yes, i'm annoyed by him all over again
(12:04:48 PM): on top of the fact that i know his background and his parents were divorced when he was 5 and he was raised by his white jewish mother in an upper class jewish neighborhood in canada

She's very long winded, but her rants (which are frequent) crack me up!
