Drake shone during his appearance last night (1015/11) on NBC’s "Saturday Night Live.”
Billboard.com reports today (10/16/11) that the Canuck rap superstar, who began his career as an actor on CTV’s Degrassi: The Next Generation, tore through 2 tracks of his upcoming album Take Care, and also displayed his acting/comedic chops, performing in a skit with SNL’s Jay Pharoah and digital short with Andy Samberg.
Drizzy and Jay Pharoah barged in on “Weekend Update" as 2 adults dressed up like "Teen Wolf" and performed a Halloween song called "Bag Jackin'." "I would trick or treat, but I'm too old now…So I snatch your bag so I don't look like a pedophile," rapped the 24-year old Toronto, ON native.
“The Best I Ever Had” hitmaker also played himself in a Digital Short with Andy Samberg, decked out in a particularly gruesome sweater.
The highlight was Drake’s performance of his new single “Headlines,” and, helped by a surprise guest appearance Nicki Minaj, a live rendition of his the just-released track "Make Me Proud."
Last week, the multi-award winning Young Money star pushed back the release of his highly anticipated 2nd studio album Take Care from Oct 24 (his birthday) to Nov 15 (11/15/11) due to licensing issues, and has also postponed his forthcoming fall “Club Paradise” tour until 2012.
