Drake Tried To Perform A Go-Go Version Of ‘One Dance’ (Which Sucked)
A little late, but still hilarious: during Drake’s Summer Sixteen tour stop in D.C., the man they call the new culture vulture tried his best to create something specifically for us — which turned out to be a go-go version of ‘One Dance’. At it was pretty terrible. Cringeworthy even.

Also:
1.) that was Chuck Brown, not Backyard.
2.) if you gone do a gogo cover over your own song at least make it flow
3.) bounce beat always lol— young hoff (@TeeLaShae) August 21, 2016
Gucci Mane – Back On Road Ft. Drake (Dirty CDQ)
After a clean version of a new Gucci and Drake single premiered on OVO Sound radio, Gucci leaked the dirty version of “Back On Road.”
WE SAW THIS COMING: D.R.A.M. Feels That Drake Hijacked ‘Cha Cha’ For ‘Hotline Bling’
None of this comes as a surprise: D.R.A.M. has taken to Twitter to express his feelings on how Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ has pretty much stunted the growth of his own single ‘Cha Cha’ (they both use the same sample, and it’s highly likely that Drake took from ‘Cha Cha’, which came first). No hard feelings though, apparently:
Just performed in Toronto for the 1st time tonight and it was bittersweet. Sweet cus I’m out here sharing my music, my sound with the people.. Bitter though, cus after my performance all I’m seeing is Cha Cha/Hotline Bling comparisons on my timeline. Niggas want to know how I feel about that… Yeah, I feel I got jacked for my record…But I’m GOOD. I’m happy that the VA sound that me & @GabeNiles are steady working on is growing. And in 2016 we gon’ own it, GAHDAMN!.
Drake – Hotline Bling (Video)
It’s here. Drake dons his best turtleneck and does his dance in the new video for ‘Hotline Bling’.

Drake Disses Meek Mill (Again) At Landmark Festival
This all went down during Drake’s headlining performance at the Landmark Festival:
Crowd chants: “Fuck Meek Mill!” and Drake replies “Don’t worry he’s dead already.”
PICS: Drake Stops By Howard University
Prior to his headliner performance at Landmark Festival (taking place right now), Drake stopped by Howard University’s bookstore (perhaps to purchase some college apparel?) and pretty much caused the type of crowd-tilt reaction you’d expect from the Canadian star.
Check out Tweets showing what went down below.

Drake & Future – What A Time To Be Alive (Mixtape)
Drake and Future have combined forces for the monster mixtape (which is really an album for sale) titled What A Time To Be Alive, which you can stream via Apple Music (or download via iTunes).
Somewhere, Meek Mill is pissed.
Drake – Back To Back (Meek Mill Diss)
Drake is back with a brand new diss for Meek Mill in the form of ‘Back To Back’. Meek is losing by a landslide at this point (seriously, respond back!).
Drake – Charged Up [CDQ/Explicit]
Drake releases a full, CD-quality, explicit version of his Meek Mill diss.
Drake Reveals Three New Songs, Including Diss To Meek Mill
Above lies Drake’s proper response to the slander received from Meek Mill, and it’s subtle-yet-effective, in my opinion. This was also premiered on OVO Sound Radio, along with two other tracks (one of which is a sort-of remix to D.R.A.M.’s ‘Cha Cha’. Check ’em out below.
Who Is Quentin Miller? The Backstory on Drake’s Alleged Ghostwriter
According to a tweet from Meek Mill’s late night rant, Toronto entertainer Drake’s ghostwriter is Quentin Miller. The Decatur, Georgia-bred rapper is one half of the duo WDNG Crshrs, well-known in Atlanta and works closely with one of Drake’s producers, Boi-1da. Allegations of Miller’s affiliation with Drake’s “October’s Very Own” label date back eight months. He supposedly began posting on Instagram from Drake’s personal studio and spending time in Toronto. All of that evidence has been deleted, although a picture of Miller and OVO’s Ryan Silverstein remains.
Quentin Miller raps about Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late LP on his own solo mixtape, Hey! Thanks A Lot 2. Miller is credited on six of the tracks on IYRTITL’s Wikipedia page. He is also mentioned (by his initials only) in the handwritten liner notes for the Drake project, and in Zara Golden’s Fader write-up deciphering the release. Golden writes;
“QM” is Quentin Miller, a composer from Atlanta’
One Redditor wonders why Miller is credited at all. It seems strange to acknowledge a ghostwriter in Hip-Hop, but it happens often in Pop. Upon first listen, some Quentin Miller songs sound nothing like the latest from Drake while others sound very familiar. Miller is a Southern rapper who sings with an R&B tinge and likes using Autotune, so comparisons are easy. It’s very possible that he is is behind some of Drizzy’s recent work, especially considering his affiliation with producers Boi-1da and Ducko McFli and of course, Meek’s tweet. Cardo also expressed interest in working with him. For icing on the cake, check out some other interesting tweets from earlier this year. Two are from Atlanta-based music industry types;

Wikipedia pages without citations, old tweets and forum posts aren’t the most trustworthy sources of information, but ghostwriting got its name for a reason. As always, come to your own conclusions.-JL (@No_Smiles)
