Drake wearing App jacket

[NewApp]

Who is Drake? That looks more like an App sweatshirt under than funky wrap.

One of the biggest musical stars in the world

In what genre, 69?

Drake can take over the #3 spot from Church.

Current famous App State fans ranking:
1) Big C
2) Luke
3) Drake
4) Eri(un)c

I got the last 3, who is the Big C?

Some tall dude.

So we give them free housing for years, and they just want to go party with a bunch of savages? I blame their home being disrupted by a riotous mob, but still. Maybe a bit of PTSD has the poor feller hanging out with only 21 savages instead of the 2100 that murdered a giant floating baby.

I'd love to see that tiny little duck jacket even though their down and oils should keep them quite comfortable.

He is a rapper and was on Canadian TV years ago, hence my comment about a wheelchair. His character was in a wheelchair.

Applications will go through the roof when this gets out.

[NoLongerLurking]

Absolutely.

It’s an old shirt….look at the logo

Old logo, but I blew the picture up and the shirt looks new. Letters and stitching are perfect. Not like something you would find in a thrift store, but I could be wrong.

Need our social media team to incorporate a Drake song in the next video

Me and my college roommate used to cut on Degrassi just to laugh at the corny storylines and hear them say "abooot". We still make jokes about Drake bc we always remembered him from that Saved By the Bell wannabe show.

To Drakes credit, he's a global superstar and while his music isn't my first choice, as a music-buff, I appreciate a handful of his songs. Him repping the black and gold isn't just a cute anecdote, that gives us major national attention from fairweather football fans across the nation.

This thread is cracking me up. I'm not trying to be snarky, but how do you not know who Drake is? My DAD knows who Drake is. He's on TV all the time. He's courtside at every Toronto Raptors game. His music is everywhere. He's been one of the most famous pop stars of the last 10 years. I'm not a huge Drake fan but, like, where y'all been??

Ah yes. It starts by watching Degrassi "just to laugh at the corny storylines," then you're getting wrapped up in all the drama with Manny, now you're crying just thinking about JT getting stabbed to death.

Didn’t know Drake. I’m in the world of bluegrass music and rap is the exact opposite. Do not watch any TV except sports and westerns. And he is a Canadian, you say, so he hasn’t crossed my path.

[WVAPPeer]

Yep - I am an old-fart and I know who Drake is - I thought he was a part-owner of a pro team as well -

Do you know who Rihanna is? Beyoncé? These are similar levels of fame

Well, then I guess that's where you been! Between Degrassi and his music career, I feel like he's been around almost as long as I can remember.

He has some sort of role with the Toronto Raptors, but he's not an owner.
