If you’re viewing this from Canada then you are probably already familiar with Nardwuar. If not, he is a television and radio personality known for his sometimes awkward interviews and extremely unique personality. Drake was recently in Vancouver to perform and sat down with Nardwuar in the studio for this extremely entertaining interview. I have had the chance to meet Nardwuar several times and all I can say is that there is NOBODY like him. Watch this.
“This is the best interview I’ve ever done in my entire life.” -Drake
I made the post Drake Live over a week ago, immediately after he performed here in Montreal. I shared all of the photos from the event, but I totally forgot about a video that I had on my Blackberry. This is a short clip from when he first came on stage at Metropolis. Watch as he addresses the (totally stoked) crowd. It was very obvious that Drizzy has love for this city.
If you scroll down below this you will see that I recently posted a behind the scenes video from the set of P. Reign’s music video shoot for the single In My Hood. After I made that post, I sent it out to the rapper himself and he went ahead and shared it with all of his fans. I supported him, he supported me . That’s a win-win.
Check out this video put together by the dudes at Oxyrotin. They explain how they got Curren$y into Canada last month for his first show ever here, the clip also includes some footage from the live performance.
You probably are not familiar with the rapper P. Reign from Toronto but, after seeing him perform live last Sunday when he opened in Montreal for Drake, I am confident you will be familiar soon. My personal favorite song (from him) is his current single In My Hood – which they recently shot the music video for. Check out this behind the scenes (BTS) footage from the shoot, and look out for the cameo from Drizzy himself.
I attended the Drake concert last night at Metropolis in Montreal. The sold out crowd loved every minute of it. The opening act P. Reign shut it down, and Drake killed it. The live band was a really nice touch, and the live performance was on point. If you weren’t there – you missed out. I got to go backstage after the show to meet the entire OVO crew. Check my photos. Video coming soon.
I spent Friday night in Ottawa, Ontario. I have heard people refer to it as “the city that always sleeps”, so I really was not expecting much. However, I actually did enjoy myself there – even if the stay was VERY brief. The city is quite visually appealing, but I guess it is the fact that it is a government city is what causes it to be generally dull. You can sort of piece together my night with these photos.
Yesterday afternoon I had the chance to go whitewater rafting on the Lachine Rapids just outside of Montreal. I have done this before in the Canadian Rockies, so I showed up yesterday expecting the river to be quite calm in comparison. I was wrong. Some of the rapids we encountered were about 15 feet high, and by the end we were all TOTALLY soaking wet. The scale by which rafting rapids are measured caps out at a maximum of F6, which is totally unnavigable – the ones we did were F4 and F3. It was fucking fun. We obviously couldn’t get any photos in the intense parts of the river, but you can spot me in the light blue New Regime t-shirt below.
Plattsburgh is a small town in the state of New York, about a thirty minute drive south of the USA/Canada border. I took a trip down there yesterday to check out the beach on Lake Champlain. It was a nice little get away from Montreal and the weather was fucking great. Also, I discovered a canned beverage called Twisted Tea – which is basically iced tea with alcohol. They need to start selling that shit up here! God bless America and their cheap alcohol HAHA. Check the photos.
Happy Canada Day to all of my Canadian viewers! I developed a new found sense of pride in my country while I was at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I may not spend 100% of my time up here, but I always represent the red and white properly. I’m about to meet up with some friends to take in some of Canada’s finest offerings – beer and marijuana. I hope y’all enjoy the day off too!
