If you're reading this, Drake turned 29 on Saturday. In all his 29 years, he has blessed us all with music, aesthetics, and memes. Let's take a look at some of my favorite reasons why Drake is alive.
1. Music
How could this not be number one? Everyone can name at least one Drake song, it's impossible not to. And most likely, you end up dancing like this when one of his songs comes on.
Boys in sweaters might be a weakness of mine, but how can it not be? Don't you just want those arms to wrap around you and for him to tell you, “I know they say the first love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest.”
3. This picture of him holding a dog
If you're ever upset and need something to cheer you up, look at this picture. What's better than this?
4. His love for his mom
We (avid fans) all know Drake loves his mom. It's clear in his many of his songs such as "You & The 6," "Look What You've Done" and "Star67" to name a few.
5. The hot bod he's just acquired
Yeah I don't want to talk about this one anymore.
6. His role on "Degrassi"
Everybody and their mother loved Jimmy Brooks. Love you and miss you.
7. Memes
Drake has become such a meme in the Internet world and he continues to feed it. After his "Hotline Bling" video dropped, the Internet went insane. Vines such as this one among many others have popped up everywhere. Even "The New York Times"wrote an article about his meme-ness.
8. The Meek Mill feud
This summer involved quite the fight in the rap world. The whole feud was hysterical and even lead to Drake dropping two insanely great diss tracks. In case you need a refresher, here's a timeline of the whole thing.
9. Apps he's inspired a.k.a. Drizzy keyboard and Drake Shake
Two of my favorite apps are Drake related. Are we surprised? Drizzy is a keyboard that includes lyrics from his songs that you can tap and put in all your conversations. Unfortunately it's no longer in the app store but we're hoping it comes back soon. The other is Drake Shake -- pick a picture and shake Drake into it. Genius.
10. He's a pretty classy guy
Look at this -- even Future is praising his clean act.
11. Nicki Minaj
Their relationship makes me so happy and sad at the same time. Remember when he bought her all the snacks she wanted? And when she performed "SuperBass" and he just sat there and smiled? Ugh, my heart.
12. All the feelings
There are so many songs that convey Drake's feelings and we all know it. "Hotline Bling," "Jungle," "Connect" and many others will give you a sense of who Drake is.
13. His feminism
Although many girls have broke his heart, Drake still continues to treat every woman with such respect. You now see why I wanna marry Drake, right?
14. Baby Drake
There's a strong possibility this is hanging on my wall in my dorm and it's saved to my desktop. I mean, c'mon. Look at how cute he is.
15. And if there's one thing we all know for certain...
If a man (or woman) ever gets you down just remember Drake is there for you and has got your back.
