Drake is such a great rapper.  Have you heard his new CD, Scorpion? 
I haven't I've seen that it has had pretty mixed reviews. I like rap and hip hop but I'm not a fan of drake, he is too whiney for me.
He may be whiny but he definitely has had an interesting career.  Drake started off as an actor on the teen drama TV show called Degrassi in the early 2000s.
yeah I remember, I think his character got shot in the show, right?
I don't remember as it's been a while.  All I know is Drake departed from the series in 2007 following the release of his first mixtape, Room for Improvement.
That makes sense, can't do both.
It must have taken courage to leave his stable acting job for the unknown world of singing.  But it turned out to be a wise choice as Lil Wayne signed Drake in 2009 to his studio.
I don't know if I would call that courage. He gets paid quite a bit.
I think when he went independent and left the show, who would have known he would be this huge.  Granted, he is in the super status zone now as he has broken several chart records now and is globally known.
Sure, that may mean he is talented but I wouldn't say it takes courage.
