Hip-Hop Moguls

Lil Wayne, Birdman,Kaveen, Sec and Kanye West are NOT hip-hop moguls. Moguls are legends of hip hop culture. Like 2pac, Eminem, Biggie, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and even Jay-Z rappers who have made an everlasting difference in hip hop. Who have also gained worldwide mainstream recognition.Texasmade2010 (talk) 11:00, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Drake is possibly signed to Atlantic Records.

DRAKE'S MUSIC IS NOT POP =

{{editsemiprotected}}

According to Drake's official Facebook Fan page, he has been signed to "ATF Records" and "Atlantic Records".

http://www.facebook.com/pages/DRAKE/17601400098

The GSX Music Blog has also reported this:

"Word from an insider is that Drizzy ass Rogers has signed a deal with Atlantic Records by way of his own label ATF Records."

http://gsxmusic.blogspot.com/2009/05/drake-signed-to-atlantic-records.html

"Contrary to rumors, Drake has confirmed that he is not signed to Young Money or any record label [9]."

The 9th source article on that page had been written in February. The quote in question also stated, "I'm not with either of those. I'm finishing up the deal tonight or tomorrow."

It's also important to note that the Wikipedia article for Atlantic Records has already listed Drake as an artist under its Current Artists page.

I can't completely confirm the signing to Atlantic but hopefully all of this activity will iron out in due time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheNinthCut (talk • contribs) 20:23, 31 May 2009

Name of article

Look over at the history of both this article and Aubrey Graham, there doesn't seem to consensus to name the article Drake (entertainer). I did see a discussion about the fact that there were two articles of this same person, but one was just merged to the other. Consider Graham's career has predominately been acting, I'm pretty sure he is best known as Aubrey Graham. Should the article not be named that? Feedback would be appreciated. — Σxplicit 19:59, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I think Drake (entertainer) is fine, because he's becoming more prominent as a rapper, and most media outlets are going by this name. But you have a good argument, because he goes by Aubrey Graham as an actor, and he was best known by that name, when he was on Degrassi. Having "entertainer" tagged beside his name also helps, because it shows that he's more than just an actor. Blackjays1 (talk) 06:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)CHECK ME OUT ACKTUP

Even if he was better known as Aubrey Graham, he currently goes by Drake. For example, rapper Game is more commonly known as "The Game", but the article name has been changed because he now goes by just "Game". Since he goes by Drake as a mononym, this shpuld be the name of the article. --C43S4R (talk) 18:24, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Per WP:NCCN, Except where other accepted Wikipedia naming conventions give a different indication, title an article using the most common name of the person or thing that is the subject of the article. I think I can argue that he is prominently known as Aubrey Graham, as opposed to Drake. According to this article, he began his music career in 2006, but started his acting career in 2001; it seems that Aubrey Graham is the most common, while Drake recently gained a spike of popularity. — Σxplicit 23:11, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Drake is releasing an album later this year and will be thrown into the hip hop spotlight in the next few years. I don't think its worth it to change it, only to change it back in a years time Chumchum14 (talk) 01:47, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Are you serious? Everyone worth their salt in the music industry is calling him the next big superstar. This is a non-issue really, like fussing about past tense on an video game article one day before it's release. `

I know his mother is Jewish, but is he Jewish? I'm asking because this article is currently in several Jewish people categories. AnwarSadatFan (talk) 06:24, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Sure. From this interview of Drake and a Degrassi co-star:

Brandon: The question I've found most people want to know about you, Stacey, is your ethnicity. Many are guessing that you're Jewish.

Stacey [Farber]: I am.

Aubrey [Graham]: I'm also Jewish."

Conventionally, Drake would be called 'black'. He is not black in the South African sense but he is black in the Anglo-American sense. Nicander (talk) 13:34, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Aubrey Drake Graham is Jewish and is also Black and is also White. He is Jewish by religion. While Jewish is also an ethnicity, we don't have evidence of his mother's Jewish ethnicity, only that she is Jewish by religion. Aubrey Drake Graham is also Jewish by religion and possibly of half-Jewish ethnicity. He also has Black ethnicity. So he's of mixed ethnicity, but is of Jewish faith, as he has self-proclaimed. According to Israel's laws, he can claim Jewish status and "return" to Israel as a citizen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.163.255.2 (talk) 16:04, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

page name

context: This page was moved from "Aubrey Graham" to "Aubrey "Drake" Graham", and I have moved it back.

I almost agree that this page needs to be renamed, however "Aubrey "Drake" Graham" isn't a good pagename.

Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(people)#Nicknames, pen names, stage names, cognomens is the relevant guideline.

He is better known as just "Drake", but that means we should rename this page to "Drake (entertainer)", as Drake is already taken. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 11:12, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia's naming policy for subjects who are well-known by mononyms is to refer to them by their legal name if they use that as well in their professional careers (see Beyoncé Knowles). Graham uses his legal name in his acting career and "Drake" is purely musical as far as I know. –Chase (talk) 02:54, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

The Wikipedia policy has also stated that the most common name is used. If you walk up to someone today and say do you know who Aubrey Graham is? They won't know until you say "Oh that's Drake". I vote move to Drake (entertainer) based on that is the most common name currently. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 05:23, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

We use consensus, not voting. Common name does apply, but professionally he is known by both names. Musically he uses the mononym, in his acting career he uses his legal name. And thus, according to relevant policy, we should use his legal name. –Chase (talk) 00:22, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

It should be Drake (entertainer) per SE KinG. If someone is looking for Drake's page on Wikipedia they won't be serching Aubrey Graham they would search Drake which would lead them here. STAT -Verse 03:10, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

As far as I know, Graham still uses his legal name in his acting career. Drake has not been the only name he has used professionally. –Chase (talk) 07:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

For your information, Beyoncé does not use her middle name as her stage name. I agree with STATicVerseatide. Drake (entertainer) is a better name for this article. He's prominently credited as rapper now. His discography page is also becoming more important than his filmography. HipHopStan —Preceding undated comment added 23:57, 8 June 2010 (UTC).

Does it matter which part of his name he chooses to use? Wikipedia policy says to use the legal name if the person in question uses said legal name professionally. Graham indeed has and I believe still does. Wiki users are not in a position to judge which aspect of one's career is more "important". –Chase (talk) 02:54, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

According to the consensus, most people here support Drake (entertainer). See, Rihanna uses her middle as a stage name and the article does direct to her birth name. I'm many entertainers who act get credited as their stage name. HipHopStan 20:33, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

• I think part of the issue should be apart from Degrasi how big have his roles been. Looking at IMDB most of his acting resume since leaving Degrasi has been one episode stints. I think nowadays his music career is bigger than his acting career, case in point: no one nowadays says "Oh remember Aubrey Grahm From Degrasi" instead they say "Hey remember when Drake was on Degrasi" --Deathawk (talk) 12:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia policy says otherwise. If a mononymous person also uses their legal name professionally, we are to use the legal name. Consensus is built upon merit of arguments based on Wiki policies and guidelines, not majority formed on personal preference and (without sounding too bad-faith) bias to one's music career. Rihanna is different because she does not use her legal name professionally. I remember a movie role she did a few years back where she was credited by that name her middle/stage name.

The stage name "Drake" has only been used by the media for about a year or two now. And it appears to be purely musical. He acts using his legal name. Of course, if this changes and he begins to go only by Drake, that would be different. –Chase (talk) 17:33, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I also support Drake (entertainer). He is much better known by Drake these days. Just because he has used his full name professionally, he is much better known by Drake. For example, 50 Cent goes by "Curtis Jackson" in films but 50 Cent in music. Even though he goes professionally by his legal name, the page is named 50 Cent because he is better known as this. This case is directly relate-able to this page and someone should change the name immediately,especially now that his latest project, Thank me Later, is out and bears the name Drake. C43S4R (talk) 00:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

See WP:OSE. This discussion is not about the 50 Cent article. Yes, it is well-established that Drake is his musical stage name and thus his album will bear the mononym. However, his musical career has only been notable for about a year. It's too early to determine which name is more common, especially since he has acted under his legal name since 2001. I think we can come back to this discussion in about a year or two, when it should be better established which name is more common. –Chase (talk) 01:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Also, 50 Cent is a different matter entirely. He has been well-known by his stage name for quite awhile now and only occasionally uses his legal name. That is a much clearer example of WP:COMMONNAME. –Chase (talk) 01:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

    • WP:SURNAME refers to subsequent use of names in an article, not article titles as I previously thought. Therefore, per WP:COMMONNAME, the article title would be "Drake (entertainer)", but everything after the first sentence would refer to him as "Graham", not "Drake". –Chase (talk) 17:37, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Is the picture being used proper? It appears whoever placed it there is trying to gain their own sort of fame as a lucky fan.

This picture of Drake posing with video model Oleena Ru is very inappropraite as it features another person very dominantly giving the impression Oleena Ru is very much part of the Drake act which is not the case. It was an occasional photo when the two were seen together, yet it becomes a proncipal photo representing Drake.

Considering he has used that name for 9 years in his acting career, I'm sure a lot of people do. In a couple of years, it will be clearer to determine whether his legal name or his Drake mononym becomes more common. His musical career has only been notable for a year. It's far too early to determine at this time which name is more notable, thus, the name he has used longer shall be used for right now. –Chase (talk) 02:35, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

 Not done for now: According to Wikipedia standards, Twitter is regarded as self-published and generally is not considered to be a reliable source. Shearonink (talk) 22:01, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Batman: Brave and the Bold spot

Is there any confirmation that this is actually happening? I can only find one mention about it on an independent site that doesn't appear at all credible and the page for Batman: The Brave and The Bold doesn't even mention a movie in progress, couple with the fact that the show has been canceled. Unless someone can prove that this is happening it should be removed. Heroville (talk) 05:55, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Kakashisensei88, 16 September 2010

{{edit semi-protected}}

I request that you put that "Drake" was married to Nikki Minaj. Source is the 2010 VMA's. The pre-show had "Drake" as a guest and that was a conversation topic. Also in "Music Career" You have "Jeezy" instead of "Young Jeezy". I understand that its known who "Jeezy" is but a lot of younger users can be confused. Thank You for viewing my edit requests.

 Not done: Welcome. The fact needs a better reference than that wave at the preshow of the 2010 VMA. Can you find a verifiable, reliable source and renew the request? Thanks, Celestra (talk) 01:31, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Drake should be described as "Jewish Canadian"

In the opening line, "Aubrey Drake Graham (born October 24, 1986), who records under the mononym Drake, is a Canadian" we should add "Jewish" before "Canadian."

The allows for greater specificity as to the culture/community Graham grew up in and come from. Drake has self-identified as being of Jewish faith, and he grew up in a Toronto community among many other Jewish friends. He also went to a Jewish school for a short period. I would think it gives greater insight into who Graham is, as a person, rather than purely the public persona that surrounds him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.163.255.2 (talk) 16:09, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I strongly disagree, as his religion is hardly what identifies him or his origin. "Jewish Canadian" is a mish-mash of religious and national info, and besides, we don't do this for other BLPs or WP bios. By the reasoning above we could change Lady Gaga to "is a Catholic American recording artist" or similar. No, violates WP:UNDUE. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 20:27, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Drake's Label

It has that Drake is signed to Universal but he is not. He is signed to: Young Money/Cash Money/Aspire Music Group. He confirmed it himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.88.144.87 (talk) 07:12, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

If he "confirmed" it, that means you had already heard it from somewhere else, so you apparently have at least two sources for this info. Please provide reference citations so the article's info can be verified. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 09:36, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

He said it in an interview plus his said it on his Twitter page.
