This bottle of Opus One is low but my spirits are high my friends. I am about 2 hours away from Toronto, CA where I will be spending the next chunk of time recovering from a surgery that I now must have. I embarked on this tour with a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL and due to the events that happened the other night lord only knows what other damage I have done. On the bright side I will begin the reflecting and soul searching that its going to take to make this album and my outfit on the night I fell was crack. I will forever push myself beyond the limits despite advice and recommendations given because even with this new found success I am still the kid who wanted this more than anything in the world. Its funny when I read comments from previous fans who have lost interest because of the radio play and exposure I have. I just want to assure anyone reading that nothing has changed on my end. I refuse to get comfortable, I refuse to fall in line and follow anyone elses formulas. I still work as if So Far Gone had never dropped and I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to gain entry to this game.

“Missing someone gets easier everyday. Because, even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will”

See you soon.

It's good to see you're getting past what people said, you have my full support and one of the reasons I'm writing my own lyrics. I hope you stick to your words and I'm not one to say you wont, I just hope you do. I'd hate to see any difference that is influenced by other artists that you don't agree with. Good luck, I hope you recover soon.

Drizzy, you the real deal man, hope you rise above this injury and come back even better than ever. and i know what you mean bout the whole people writing you off cuz of your radio play and all that.

It's great to see that your still grounded & motivated to do better, continue to exceed peoples expecatations. I support you to the fullest and im anticipating evrything you have in store. =)

Jai said...

I was there on Friday and the energy was amazing. It gave me goosebumps when you hit the stage, seeing people from my city give you love like that was something I'll never forget. You are truly the future and the best is yet to come. Just know your real fans will support you through thick and thin.

Feel better Drake I love you.

I remember stumbling across Room for Improvement years ago and wondering to myself, what is the kid from Degrassi doing. But I didn't let that stop me from downloading and taking a listen. Granted that mixtape was properly titled and I didn't become a die hard fan as I am now, but I saw lots of potential in a kid my age who could write better than most. And when Comeback Season dropped I was oh so excited and I got everyone I knew on Drake. And the radio play assures me that dreams can come true with a little bit of elbow grease. I think you're doing the right thing by not letting success of radio play and getting the recognition from critics like you deserve make you lose sight of the struggle. And you may have lost a few fans by "going mainstream" but you've gained so much more with all your success. Just don't kill yourself trying to be great lol. Much love!

drake man. if you actually read this, i was so bummed when that happened friday night. i thought it was just a stunt cus i knew you had a torn acl and thought you were just playing around so you wouldn't hurt it anymore. i didnt know you actually reinjured yourself. i was so disappointed cus you're the only reason why i went to wayne's concert. at first i thought you weren't going on, but when you came out i was hype as shit. when you fell and performed all of one verse and a hook of successful and barely a hook of best i ever had i was bummed. despite not watching you perform much i hope you get better and keep at your album. don't take my disappointment the wrong way i'm just a big fan. best of luck to you and your career and i hope to see you on tour when you release your long awaited album.

Dude, how about you focus on heeling yourself first. Your over doin yourself, If you really love your fans like you say you do. Then worry about yourself so you can do more shows for your fans in the future. You still my nigga Drake, but listen to your doctor this time. If there are true fans like they say they are, they are going to always be here.

Unknown said...

Drake, you gained radio exposure and it had a lot of people saying you were over rated. You released "The Winner" and it took you back to the Drake I remembered two years ago when my brother was playing your songs and all I knew is that you played a character on Degrassi. Drake, you'll be fine. You're better than most of these wack rappers coming out with nothing to say. Continue to say slick metaphors and have songs with meaning. You make Lil' Wayne sound horrible. The first time I listened to Successful, I felt like cutting out Lil' Wayne's part. Continue to stay humble and say what's real, Drake. I pray for you and I hope that you'll find out how strong you really are in this next stage of your life.

The Heap said...

(Shakes head) Scorpios. When will they learn? Like Ne-Yo said, they are hard workers who don't listen to their bodies when it says "enough is enough." I know he's working hard for his fans and himself...but if he doesn't rest his leg he'll be reliving the BET Award performance every night he performs.

As for fans turning their head because of over exposure (shrugs) it happens. Radio, internet, etc. can make and break an artist. The good thing is that it doesn't take much to get people back in your favor. One hot track and they're right back supporting you and buying your music. Die hard fans gonna stay loyal regardless. They'll never get tired of hearing your songs or seeing your face. But...I'm sure he already knows all that.

@Drake - take this as a sign from God to rest. Fuck the fans, fuck the music, fuck everything and let your body heal. We (your real fans) aren't going any where so take your time. We'd rather see you healthy than anything. Hope you get better soon.

My heart goes out to you, I know taking that fall put you in a lot of pain.I know that with Fame comes pain and with hard work comes Longevity. I know you will receive the latter. You still want it you will get it and you will always have my support. You've been there for me through some things and no matter what i will be with you the best way I can. If there is anything you need let me know. To listen a pilliow ill try my best.

Joyce Okezie said...

I cant abandon Drake. His story is amazing on how he enbarked on his journey. Drizzy is the realist and he speaks from his experiences. His humbleness is whats gonna take him to the top of hip-hop. You go boy

I was at last night's show & your presence was greatly missed by many of us who were there just to see you. Drake I wish you the best & speedy recovery. Your music is the only thing at this point that's keeping me sane through my recent storms. I hope it does the same for you. We've waited all these years for you to make it I'm sure we can wait much longer for you to get healthy. Wish you the best of luck with everything.

Lexy.2014 said...

Take your time on recovering we all love you and support you all the way. Just a few mins. ago I was on youtube and I searched "Drake" to listen to some music and the first video that came out said "Drake falling in concert". I just thaught to myself 'Omg is this true?!' and so i watched and right afterwards I came to check your page out and saw this. Well just wanted you to know that we love you. Alright take care.

Aubrey Graham Cracker,

Yeah, Im not gonna lie, I am one of those fans you are talking about.

My sister and I were talking about it and we cant put our finger on why we lost our "passion" with you.

You are consistently bringing heat but something is just different. It may be because Ive been a fan since "Room for Improvement"(or maybe even before then, Im talking 2004)and this new "Drake-a-mania" is annoying but who knows...

I WENT FROM FEELING LIKE THIS:

TO FEELING LIKE THIS ABOUT YOU:

Im still buying "Thank Me Later" the day it comes out though, Im not getting let this "hiccup" eff up my 5 year history with you musically.

As I said...
DONT CHANGE, JUST CHANGE THE GAME.

And feel better!

Mastertomo said...

Drizzy,
What happened the other night was terrible and it absolutely killed me to see that happen, but after reading that letter, I have so much faith in you that you will come back better than ever. I vowed that the next time you come back to the Philly area I will be in the front row and now I will do whatever it takes to make that happen. Every time I hear you rap I feel this energy that I feel only you possess because you are speaking the truth and you kill it every single time. Cant wait for the album and for you to come back to Philly and absolutely kill it!

J.Prigg said...

lol all my friendsforever try to judge you on "best i ever had" and say u just the ladies man. . and then they tell me their favorite rapper and 9 times outta 10 those rappers can't step to u lyrically.

As long as you bring it musically, i'm stickin around...still haven't been let down yet

This is why you inspire me to become a better artist. The game is funny like that, you drop something hot and their on you but the slightest thing you do wrong or if something happens they try to ruin you?

TiyanaBrown said...

Wow man, I can't believe this happened to you! I was just going to see you this Friday (August 8th) at the concert. But now I don't know if I even want to go! I am so upset/frustrated at the same time, like I'm about to cry. I am seriously asking the Lord "Why?". Was it not meant for me to see you? I mean, I am like your biggest fan(yeah, I know that you hear that all the time), ever since Degrassi. And this was going to be the first concert I've ever been to but now it's all ruined. My uncle surprised me with the tickets with seats right near the stage and he's flying down from NY to come with me. But please don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at you or blaming you because it's not your fault what-so-ever. And I'm trying not to sound selfish because I know you're probably taking this harder than I am right now. But overall health is more important right now and you do need to rest. I do appreciate you taking your time to keep your fans updated. I mean, I probably will still go to the concert but it's definitely isn't going to be the way I've imagined it and dreamt about it for the past couple of months. You are the realest, most down-to-earth artist/actor/person I've known. You've inspired me to break into the music industry as a singer. Now please allow your body to rest and heal, you have proven enough that you're dedicated to your fans. And when you are fully recovered, I know that you will come back twice as hard and will have enough songs to pass out to record labels as goodie bags. lol I just personally wanted to let you know that I am your biggest, realest, and truest fan ever and I am always here for you and I support/am behind you one hundred percent. You will always have me here. Please keep me/us fans updated with all the news about you. I'm following you on twitter and I'm your friend on myspace and it would be an honor and I would really love/appreciate it if you can do the same(along with 40 and olivier): twitter.com/TiyanaBrown and myspace.com/nycbrooklynbabe. And sorry about the ranting/venting, I had to simply let my feelings out and tell you how I feel.

Love

I Know The Feeling Of A Torn ACL,MCL,Plus A PCL For Me... Playing Football... Anyway I Found Out You Wasn't Going To Be At The Concert In Virginia Beach So I Didn't Go... When People Say They Don't Listen To Your Music Anymore More On Have It Or Pause Because Of The Mainstream Exposure... It's Krazi I've Been Listenin To Your Music For About 3 Or 4 Years Now... And Watch The Progression... Never Conformed Or Anything... Staying With The Same Game Plan Since You Came Up With The Album Title "Thank Me Later" Years Ago If I'm Not Mistaking... Just Seeing How Far Your Music Career Has Grown From "Room For Improvement" To "Comeback Season" To "So Far Gone"... I Actually Miss 3 Classes Downloading/Listenin "SFG" When It Came Out In Feburary... Everything Happens For A Reason Don't Wanna Sound Cliche Right Now... But It's Tru... You Got A Whole Fan Base That Wants You To Do Good And You Got Family,O.V.O, And Friends... Just Stay Positive! God And Faith Will Guide You... Stay Tru Drizzy Stay Tru... - - - > A.B. Solutely

Ashley Jefferson said...

OK, well Im a fan that will never leave you dispite how successful you become. But on the real, if you need to heal, then heal. Physicall success is just as important as financial success, or fame, or whatever. Sometimes you have to take a break. Trust me, I know. I had to be on bed rest for 2 weeks with Shingles. It killed me! 2 weeks without work/play was horrible. But 2 weeks later, Im stronger than ever. And Im glad I took the time off. So rest for a minute. Music isn't going anywhere. And you're creative enough to catch up to whatever changes might come while your on break. We'll all still love you.

EGibbs2012 said...

First off, I wanna say I believe that everything happens for a reason, and that as a fan, I felt that in order for 'Thank Me Later' to top 'So Far Gone' you needed the time and the focus... and being on the road seemed like it would have eventaully gotten in the way of both.

Well, you got it now..take advantage of it


If I could ask one favor of you, I ask that you and Phonte make a track together for the album. You 2 are my fav. MC's, and ik u got mad respect for dude.



Oh and one more thing, tell 40 hes a fucking beast.

princesslaya said...

You were smart enough to write something articulate as this post, but not smart enough to refrain from doing the chris brown on stage with a torn acl? i dont get it. you would stil be doing the rest of the tour right? everyones kinda pissed you cant make it to the rest of the tour dates. You couldve rapped that a bit more chilled or something up there. that was kinda selfish.. but get well, and make crack music..

Lovey said...

I will say I was really salty when I went to the concert in VA beach and you weren't there. As usually Wayne destroyed and Chris Brown came so it wasn’t a waste of time. That being said, you were the person I was trying to see. No one acknowledged what really went down with you until the very end. I’m so sorry about this trail that you're facing. Just know that your real fans will be your fans no matter what. You are a genuine dude, take care of you first. Your passion and drive have not gone unnoticed.

Malika B said...

Drake, I am so proud of you and I feel lucky to have seen your musical growth from Room for Improvement up until now. I really respect the fact that your drive, creativity and passion hasn't changed. It seems like a lot of artists go mainstream and water down their music in order to gain success. I don't see that with you. You have my support forever.

Take your time and heal so that when you come back you can tear it down and give it all that you wanted to this time around. Your true fans will be waiting <3

Unknown said...

Drake I hope you rethink taking medical advice andlet the knee heal fully.You deserve this musical career and I would definitely like to have a chance to see you in concert. Just FYI I have a 6'8 best friend that should be playing in the NBA right now but the first time he busted the ACL he didnt listen to the dr either and winded up busting it up again. Which permanently put him out of his college B Ball career which knocked him out for the NBA as well. So take care of yourself You will always have fans such as I that will always suort you and your music

Drake,
I have been waiting to hear from you about your condition. I hope that you are truly doing well and that your surgery is successful. Your post was the "truth" and made me feel you even more. I loved the "Missing someone gets easier everyday. Because even though it is one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will." I was hoping to see you in Dallas on 8/23 but you are definitely worth waiting for and when you return I will be on the front row. I signed up for twitter this weekend just to send you a message, glad to see that you are in good spirits. May God continue to bless your journey.

I love you Drake. And yes, the over played music was annoying to me because I heard these songs along time ago and only now do ppl want to act like your all that. When I always told them you were. And they really said "who's drake?". WOW
But I love you and hope your feeling well.

JLB said...

i found your music a long time ago....and have been spreading the word and hooked on you since. people that i talk to hope that you dont sell out...i KNOW you wont. your musicality is strong....you are fresh to music and bring raw quality back. thank you for that. i was planning on going to the concert in my state (Arizona) solely to see you perform.....its too bad you wont make it, but i will be at the next one. one love ---- JLauren

Fabian said...

That is some real Shit.
It is always best to Find who you are in order to make the music you want to make. As an artist fans are what keep you alive and I have always been a huge fan of yours. The fact that you keep it real and always stay connected to who you are will be what keeps you in the game for a very long time. Check out my music at myspace.com/btr650. Only 17, But my group is going places making that feel good music. Stay up and take care.

I LUV U DRAKE ND U R SO SWEET…I AINT KNO U HAD DAT SIDE….MAY GOD B WIT U THRU ALL OF DIZ.

Ressa babyy said...

I was there that night in Camden! I was so upset when you fell! I was looking forward to your performance all night! But I am happy to know that you are getting better. I can't wait for the album to drop. I have been waiting for it since early 2007 when I first heard your music. :] Keep doing your thing! So many haters. & yet so many ways to prove them wrong. xoxo

Stories Untold said...

When it's all said and done, what’s your purpose? How do you plan to make your voice heard and get your point across? What is it that you want to say, and what makes what you have to say important? I wish you all the best in your recovery and I hope you do take this time to reflect on what type of artist you/want to be.

Michaela Grinnell said...

I respect you as an artist. Passion for your craft and the spirit of life is what draws me to support you in your endeavors. Nevertheless, we want you around for decades not a just little while, so PLEASE take care of yourself. . .for the fans!

Michaela Grinnell said...

P.S. Heal well & heal quickly! Muah!

ashleynichole said...

Aubrey baby, so sorry to hear about your accident, I'm praying for your speedy recovery. I was so looking forward to seeing you Saturday though! All that matters is that you get well and you really need to stop worrying about those who don't matter!!! Energy and persistence conquer all things, this is just another hurdle for you to cross babe.

"I can sum up everything i've learned about life in 3 words: it goes on. . ." remember that.

Don't worry Drizzy, I got shot in my right leg and I had to get surgery. It was tough. I'm just starting to learn how to properly walk again. You'll be good bro. I believe in you and I'll be right there on stage with you some day 'cause I'm trying to find entry too. I'm working on my own project that will kill the game!

I tore my ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL, and meniscus and fractured my tibia and fibula in the same leg as a result of an automobile accident. I can definitely relate to the pain and frustration you might feel Drake. Stay positive as i try to do the same...

Its ok drizzy, youre human, everyone goes thru these things, get some rest dont worry about whats going on. Your fans will be waiting on you when you get better, and it just makes it that much better, get some rest while you can lol...keep us posted

ILACOIN said...

LMAO! Mr. Graham I’m glad to see you’re on point and paying attention to the details. I’m sorry you’re not well. Please take this message and the previous “Sandman” comment with grace. No malice intended. Be careful of going so far left that you fall offstage. No pun. Believe I’m a fan of your music. I drive to it all the time. I just don’t believe even you can carve but so much of a new path in a down trodden industry choosing the path you did. Were’nt you wearing that same damn shirt when you re-injured yourself? If you pay attention to signs and detail so well(like I do), then start to humble yourself a little more(you’re only human) and adjust quicker. Loyalty only works when your team is truly loyal to you and not the money. Is you with me? Holla!

Anonymous said...

Drake,
I am one of ur BIGGEST fans and ALWAYS will be!! I was truly saddened to hear about your fall on Fri night. I was at Jones Beach waiting to see whether or not u would come out. There were lots of rumors in the crowd that u werent coming on. I didnt want to believe it, til Wayne said it. I was Soooooooo MAD!! But at the end of the day, I am just HAPPY and RELIEVED that u are GOOD!! The ONLY reason I went to the concert was to see u. It didnt happen this yr, But Ill DEF catch u next time ur on tour. I <3 u, Keep ya head up and get well soon!! Ur TRUE FANS will wait forever... -JENNJENN9585

Unknown said...

Hopefully all is well, love. No worries we'll be right here waiting for your smooth recovery. You've had my full support ever since Degrassi and you will continue to have it in your future endeavors.
Don't do anything too serious where Jimmy's situation could actually be brought to life (i.e. you being wheelchair bound). That would not be good at all. But still, despite all thats going on, you continue to impress me. Stay humble and don't let this biz ruin you. Take it easy. Relax. Hopefully i'll c you soon.


Much Love,
Ms_D'Blaze of NJ

It breaks my heart know Drake wont be playing his hometown concert. However, it's not over, not by a long shot. You just have to accept that its God will and he has something better planed for you.
Your in my prayers.

ashleywinberg said...

Toronto loves you! I bailed on the show tonight after I heard that you would not be playing ... yah I know its bad, but I missed your May show and just wanted to go to watch you in action. Hope you enjoy your time at home and rest up. Little secret - I'm a mixed jew too ... being mixed gives you extra cool points.

Art said...

Laughter is the best medicine. I suggest you get re-acquainted with some old schools film you enjoyed back in the day. I think "Friday" would be a good choice. Some vintage Chris Tucker. Be strong bro.

Donte` said...

DRIZZY... I dont know how to say this without soundin homo... but man... your music is my world. its the fuckin best. lol

Paola said...

I hope you recuperate soon enough. And dont listen to any negativity. You're gonna be successful because unlike the rest of some of these new rappers, you actually rap about real things that people can relate to. Keep your head up and keep doing your thing because you have fans that really have your back 100% no matter what. :)

thanx for allowing the world a glance at a spirit like yours....now its time to beast this album!

dude drake can you just come out on crutches or something tomorrow in va, i didnt pay good money to see fucking soulja boy -aj

Ms. Lady said...

I usually dont do too much rap and this is the first time I have ever written to an artist but I have to tell you, I am a fan. I first got my hand on your mix CD for a road trip I was taking and that was the only thing I listened to for the entire 15 hours. I am sorry to hear about your injury and I hope you have a speedy recovery. I have been in the Navy for the last 7 years and that quote at the end of your post really hit home. Another reason why I am a fan. My roommate is from V.I. and she is such a Wayne fan and you. She has been wanting to tell him this for months now but she doesent want to be that lame fan to say it but she is really concerned about him and drugs. ( I know right, LOL.) She would kill me if I didnt ask you to pass the message to him but you probably wont even read this. I have now passed the message so she will feel better because when she talks about him you would think they are brother and sister, she is so concerned. Well in closing of my first fan message, I will continue to support you as an artist but you have to take care of yourself now so you can be around to continue to accomplish your dream.

Later,

Navy Lady

This why I love u and your music, because you speak what you know and from your heart, and despite the ppl who said they'd always be fans or have your back that have vanished, you still push on. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are very proud of you, and to keep up the good work! I've been a fan of urs since Degrassi, so you'll always get madd love and respect from me : ). Hope to see you in concert and/or meet you one day, but until then Keep your head up and keep pushing!

Chinese drywall looks like regular sheetrock, but as the years pass it turns toxic.

I'm not going to lie I haven't been a life long fan as living in the UK it's harder to find people like you, but once I did, I was blown away, Take Care is my most played album and I can't say that I dislike one song on that album. Going to your concert was one of the best experiences I've ever had, and even though I wasn't near the front you still shouted me out and it was fantastic and I cannot wait to see you again. I can tell that this next album is going to be so amazing, I cannot literally wait for your next tour or even your next gig in the UK. Please never ever stop what you are doing, and please never ever change who you are, because you're someone I look up to as a role model, you're the most hardworking and dedicated artist I've heard of, and that is alot considering all the other artist's out there, that missing qupte makes me think of the next time I'm going to see you. I hope I meet you one day just so I can tell you all of this in person. Take care Aubrey. x
