VID BLOC: Drake Offers Up An Apology to Sylvia Rhone (Motown)
Some might wonder why there was a need for Drizzy to apologize to Motown Label President Sylvia Rhone. Well the situation stems from an interview in Fader Magazine and a mixtape track. Drake apparently ripped Motown a new one in the article by saying that he is not f-n with them and that he is signed to Universal Republic. Well according to Sohh.com, joke may be on Drake and it looks as if Drake is actually distributed by Motown and Republic. It didn't end there; prior to Drizzy signing with Young Money, Cash Money, Motown, Universal he lyrically slapped the taste out of Sylvia Rhone's mouth when he spat this on a track "...I've always been something that these labels can't buy/especially if they trying to take a piece of my soul/and Sylvia be telling Tez/D*mn, Drake fly/and he just be like, 'silly motherf**ka I know'". WOW!!!! now that right there is crazy ish and hella bold for then an unsigned artist looking for a major deal to say about a heavy weight in the business. I am sure the fire has been turned up by the label heads at Cash Money and Lil Wayne [Young Money] for Drake to come out and say something and try to stitch the open wounds. Now whether it scabs over and creates a nasty scar or heals perfectly will be determined by the number of units he actually sells, in my opinion. Watch the video below; do you think he is remorseful? Jury's still out on how sincere he is, but I understand where his heat is coming from though. It's not hard to see both sides of the fence in this situation, but but but, in this game it seems Drake's situation plays out way to often. Well the world and the hip hop community will be watching, but its a good first step to mending the wounds between the employee and employer. written by @rannyran on Twitter
