I got to check out Drake last night at Slippery Rock University. In fact it was the first stop of Drake’s college tour. MTV as in the building too. I was surprised. I thought Drake was gonna suck but he definitely did his thing. I was surprised with his mic presence and also with the crowd’s reaction. They were screaming and singing along with everything. Make sure you check out the pics and Vids… Especially the one with the chick who got to go on stage with Drake.. You can here “every girl” hating on her at once…. hahah ..

Complex: How do you choose your outfit for the show?

Drake: “Me and Oliver will sit down together and figure out what’s a good look for tonight. But I like this outfit, I like this sweater, it’s Robert Geller, I wear a lot of Robert Geller.”

Complex: I’m guessing you’re outfit is influenced by the venue and the part of the country you’re in?

Drake: “The other night it was raining in Saratoga and the crowd was screaming and I could hear them from the bus, screaming. So I just threw on some black jeans, a black raincoat, a bunch of black diamonds—that’s just how I felt, wanted to come out super evil. Tonight is just… it’ll be fresh.”
