I can't believe this crap attracted 20,000 people

NEW YORK (Jun 17, 2010) A free concert by up-and-coming Canadian rapper Drake (Aubrey Graham) of Toronto and pop band Hanson was cancelled Tuesday after twice as many people as anticipated showed up.
The show started about 6 p.m. with an opening act at Pier 17 on Manhattan's South Street Seaport, a popular summer locale for concerts. Hanson, the Tulsa, Okla., brothers behind the 1997 hit Mmmbop, and headliner Drake, whose album Thank Me Later debuted Tuesday, were to appear on stage soon after.
Organizers were anticipating about 10,0000 people but nearly 20,000 showed up, police said. Many people climbed roofs and started throwing bottles, as concertgoers mashed together toward the stage, police said.
Witness Tamika Johnson told the Daily News newspaper: "People in the front started leaving because they were getting crushed."
The concert organizers asked the New York Police Department for help dispersing the crowds around 7 p.m., police spokesman Paul Browne said. Two people were arrested on minor charges; six suffered minor injuries, police said.
The concert was part of the Sounds Like Paper series presented by Paper magazine, an independent magazine focusing on arts, culture and music. The magazine apologized on its website.

ok... so Drake is good and it was free. What's yr plight?

douche extraordinaire

Judging by the number of views Drake has on YouTube I guess it's not so much of a surprise. I guess I just don't understand why it's so popular. It just sounds like musical diarrhea with a beat to me...

oh yeah.

fuck that noise, good thing i stayed far away from that clusterfuck

Satan, are you keeping up with Gucci lately. Dude's on a ridiculous roll.

now I don't know, cuz I've never discussed music with you, but I'm guessing that any hip hop albums you own are ones that have already been deemed "cool" for non-hip hop fans to profess their love for. Ammiright?

hanson still exists? um, why?

... i like how they put drake's real name in parenthesis in that article for no clear reason. aubrey graham. ahaha.

YES! GUCCI HAS BEEN FREED AND IS ON A ROLL, LADIES AND GERMS.

i'm more surprised promoters thought a free drake show was a good idea.

cuz he might be better known as the actor from Degrassi.

true, he's a mixtape leader. You'd think shows would be his $ income.

Buuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love it when he yells WELL DAMN
