Rolling Stone magazine reports: Last night's repeat visit topped even that: a surprise appearance by Stevie Wonder, who took over Drake's headlining set for a full half-hour with almost no accompaniment from his host, except some I-am-not-worthy-style bowing and a fun freestyle about "Stevie on the keys/I wonder who's next?" and "playing with a legend. There it is."
Throughout Drake's two-hour-plus show, there were other special guests: Nas, rising star J. Cole and Drake's label boss Lil Wayne of Young Money Entertainment, all of whom were previously unannounced, as well as OVO Fest's scheduled openers Rick Ross and Toronto R&B protégé the Weeknd (who performed live in concert for the first time last weekend).
That's more than the sold-out crowd of 16,000 could ever have hoped for, but certainly didn't need, given Drake's on-the-mark performance skills. He could've handled the show on his own.Dressed simply in a sleeveless black OVOXO T-shirt and khaki cargo pants, Drake paused periodically to take in the reception from his hometown. "There's only one thing I care about in this world — Toronto," he said at one point, with many variations to follow. It wasn't just obligatory stage-speak. Drake was clearly overwhelmed. "I promised myself I wouldn't rush this shit," he revealed he told himself.
I was at the late Rapper Scrilla's annual memorial birthday BBQ. Scrilla was my PR client. Glad Drake and company did a good job. He told MuchMusic they are gonna collaborate on the new album. "Take Care" which comes out October 24th his birthday. He also brought L'il Wayne with him. Great show I heard and read on so many tweets below from T-Rexxx, Kiss 92.5FM's Mocha, Rick Ross and L'il Wayne. With Stevie Wonder on board, Drake should also collaborate with another R&B legend, his own uncle Larry Graham and just quit hip-hop. LMAO!!
