THE GAME CHANGER
December 11th, 2009 by Hotel Fashionland received Comments OffGQ Magazine recently reported that rap’s new chosen one Drake was redefining how rappers looked and in effect he is singularly responsible for the killing of “Gangsta Rap”.
Well it remains to be seen if this is actually true, GQ is not exactly an authority on Hip Hop but Drake’s rise to fame is really extraordinary.
Drake is as clean cut as one gets and he’s been nominated for Grammy awards before his CD has even come out. Every big name in the music industry wants to work with him and his CD is the most anticipated in 2010.
And who can argue with a million dollar smile. Hypebeast or not he’s much easier on the eyes than Lil Wayne. Let’s hope this type of change endures. At least visually. Yes, we know this may seem shallow but fashion and looks matters folk. We’d much rather look good than look at Lil Wayne.
