A healthy, excited Drake says the video for ”Over” is a reflection of some of the albums material.

Here it is, the long awaited official first single from Drake’s upcoming album, Thank Me Later.  Let me know what you guys think.  The beat bangs, but I’ve heard Drake come harder than this from a lyrical stand point.  Shout out to Boi-1da for making amazing beats for this kid though.

With this being the last part of our brief interview with Drake, I can say it’s perfect timing. If you watched what I watched from XXL earlier today you’ll know definitely what I mean. In the video Drizzy talks about the freshmen list as well as “returning the favor” to the magazine and when asked about his recent spread with GQ, he speaks on his relationship with Jordan Brand and shows off his Air Jordan Anniversary 9’s “like a basketball player.” – IF

During the Sprite Step Off show in the ATL this weekend Drizzy Drake spoke with ImFlashy to talk Thank Me Later and more.

In the clip below, Drake praises Sade and her song making ability and expresses his hope of working with her.  Below the video, you can see Sade’s response to the interview via MTV.

“I don’t think they have contacted me,” Sade, 51, told Canada’s National Post. “I’ve never collaborated because I’ve always avoided working outside my safety zone — I can be exactly who I am and can fail or succeed within the moment. I feel safe working like I do. I wouldn’t want to work in a situation where I am expected to deliver, because I think I wouldn’t deliver.”

Below you will find video of Lil Wayne’s last farewell to his fans as he appeared on Lil Twists’s uStream channel.  As you may (or may not) know Lil Wayne is schedules to begin his jail sentence February 9th. I know I don’t have time to watch an hr long video, so I’ve marked the highlight moments below the video (props Dre).

Highlights

42 Mins: Fat Joe cameo

46 Mins: Drake calls

51 Mins: Wayne says farewell in his Bugatti

Here are the confirmed tour dates for Drake’s upcoming “The Away From Home” tour, as posted by Drake Oliver on Drake’s internet home, October’s Very Own.  Sidenote:  It took me a while to realize the theme behind this tour.  It’s a tour dedicated to college students (like all of the 5starhiphop staff) who have home’s away from home.  hence, why all the stops are at universities (not mine though).  Much respect Drake.  Much respect.
