Drake To Graduate From High School This Summer LOL

[flyingmonkey10]

Drake plans to hit the books following his OVO Festival this year.

Drake has spent the last few years establishing his name in Hip Hop, but he's taking some time to finish what he started. This summer, Drizzy intends to graduate from high school following his OVO Festival, with plans to complete his last credit and receive his diploma.

“I’m actually spending my summer graduating high school,” he told Now Toronto. “That’s my main focus after OVO Fest. I only have one credit left, and I’m really excited about that.”

Before he hits the books, the Young Money rapper will throw his annual OVO Festival this Sunday (August 5th). He explained that he wanted to create something special for his hometown, which artists often pass over during tours.

“I just wanted to create a special night for the city. When I grew up, I always used to hear how we never get anything good coming through Toronto," he said. “We actually do get some great things in Toronto compared to many other places, but it’s true that sometimes you might not see your favourite hip-hop artist for a full year, or even two. Sometimes we do get skipped over here.”

Yeah I was thinking this but oh well. Maybe it's just something he wanted done, I think Eminem did the same.

[Kill You]

Why? Probably just to make himself look better.

What in the fuck? Why is everybody criticizing him? He's a huge mainstream rapper looked on to by a lot of fans and teenagers, perhaps he's trying to set an example, perhaps he's preparing for the worst or maybe he just feels ignorant without finishing high school and he feels that he has to complete it for more self-respect or just YOLO. Either fucking way, this is a right move and it should be respected by everyone. You can't criticize a man for going to school no matter how old or rich he is, it's always a good move.

Came here to say this. I don't like him but it's definitely a great move.

[SG.]

^I third that motion.

Summer's almost over, he better get started.

[Wreck]

I think it's a great move, & respectable. Eminem got his GED, this is a cool/good move for him.

The point of high school/further education isn't just to get a job It's to gain knowledge and intelligence. Something a lot of theses rappers don't have.

setting an example is probably the smartest one. props to him regardless of why he's doing it.

um no, as Menzo said highschool really doesnt teach you much, the degree allows you to get ok jobs.
or get you into college, where you gain the specific knowledge for the line of work your want

not saying there is anything WRONG, like i said, its just pointless
