Drake delivers his life in rhyme like few MCs ever have, and now the up-and-coming MC is set to pull the curtain back even further in “Drake: Better Than Good Enough,” a documentary chronicling the hip-hop wunderkind’s rise to fame. The program is set to air Wednesday, June 23, at 10 p.m. exclusively on MTV.
“I have always been hesitant to share the details of my life with the world, but for the first time I am comfortable and confident that you will love this story,” Drake said of “Better Than Good Enough.” – MTV
Another clip from the upcoming documentary after the jump.
Drake took over the mic last night at a album listening session for his debut Thank Me Later at Alife Rivington Club in New York City’s Lower East Side. Above he spits the opening bars from his “9AM In Dallas” over J. Cole’s “Who Dat.”
After the jump, Drake also performs a medley of his songs. RapRadar.
“That was The Warm Up, this is The Blow Up..”
Cole left this message on his blog:
June 15th, 2009. A year ago today The Warm Up dropped. I’m taking this moment and appreciating all the love and support that I’ve received from yall. All that love ya’ll gave allowed me to hit the road and perform these songs for you before I even had a single out. It’s wild to me when I show up in places like Houston, Atlanta, Richmond, Ohio, University of Maryland, NYC, so many other cities and schools, and the whole crowd knows every word to every song. Seeing that it’s so early in my career, only 1 single out, that’s a blessing. Thank you.
A year later and people are still getting put on to The Warm Up every day. Slowly but surely ya’ll, just like it was supposed to. The album is coming, your patience is gonna pay off.
Thank you for real.
Ya’ll know I don’t like throwing out too much but fuck it, it’s a special day. A leaked freestyle never hurt nobody. AND Congrats to Drizzy Drake. This is obviously a special day too for that brother. Clap for em
