*dead @ the doo-rag.

Prior to the release of his highly anticipated debut album “Thank Me Later”, Drake was on hand at the ARC Umbro World Champions Courtyard. As part of Alife Sessions, the Canadian rapper put on a memorable show to go down in history with a number of musical greats who have graced the courtyards. Other artist making an appearance included A-TRAK and Vida & Valissa.

As much as I’m not feeling the album cover, Fireworks with Alicia Keys, Miss Me with Lil’ Wayne and this has really changed my perspective towards this album. Thank Me Later in stores June 15th.

1. KanYe West’s 5th studio album, Good Ass Job – Hate him all you want, but we all know who’s making the greatest and most timeless music in the industry. The man is truly ahead of his time, has set countless trends and continues to strive for perfection with every project. Ye’s been hella quiet, but the music has been talking. Fellow producers like Pharrell and Preemo have been talking about the Ye album and everything is looking quite right for Mr. West. Good Ass Job is possibly the highest anticipated album of 2010. Sorry, Drizzy!

2. Miranda Kerr – Orlando Bloom’s ex has been on fire and literally getting the men fired from work (read the latest GQ article).  Peep the pictures in the post below.

3. The OriginalFake 4th Anniversary Frogskins – A collabo between OriginalFake x Lance Armstrong x Oakley x Frogskins. The limited release is bound to disappear the second they drop on May 29th @ OF store in Tokya. Great work KAWS!

4. Twitter – Excellent tool for networking but a horrible site for ratting your own bidness. #watchforthecops Follow us @wafflesandbeatz

5. Aaliyah – If it wasn’t for you, the new single would be shitty. We miss you!

6. Janelle Monae: ArchAndroids (Suites II and III) – Buy the album. Listen. Listen again. Think about it. Tell all your friends. Repeat.

7. Tim Hortons Iced Coffee – Ice Caps are so overrated. Try it!

8. Up In The Air – Possibly the best George Clooney film ever. The story was amazing, the cast was brilliant, the humor was classy and the twist was mind blowing. I also suggest watching the Fantastic Mr. Fox right after. Once again, brilliant cast.

9. FIFA World Cup 2010 – Get your flags out, put your jerseys on, bring the beer out and let the matches begin! If ya can’t wait till June 11th, cop the World Cup edition for the PS3 and get into the spirit.

10. COPE2 x Montana Colors Limited Edition Can - Anything with a COPE2 tag is a must have/collect. The South Bronx native recently linked with Montana Paints for an exclusive collabo.

Meh… Thoughts?

“Its funny how money can change everything” – Drake

Good single, but don’t gimmie no, “this song will save hip-hop” bullshit. Don’t get me twisted. Again, good single. Thank Me Later dropping late May.
