Aubrey "Drake" Graham refuses to let up on Meek Mill. At this point, I just feel bad for Meek. The rap beef that once existed between the two rappers was unanimously declared over when Drake decided dropped "Charged Up" and "Back to Back" in 2015.

But for Drake, who is without a doubt the greatest rapper alive, it's only over when he decides to stop, because he's "looking for revenge" this summer.

Yesterday, Drake dropped another diss track, titled "Summer Sixteen," where he re-affirms his position in rap as its savior all while throwing shade at Kanye West, Chris Brown, and most importantly, Meek Mill. The Canadian rapper goes on to describe his ascension to rap godhood as he singlehandedly put Toronto on the map in his early 20s and how he is above the game itself at this point. At the end of record, Drake also gets a shoutout from the walking meme himself, DJ Khaled, as he shouts "They don't want us to have a bigger pool than Kanye!" (referencing a line earlier in the song where Drake says that he now "has got a bigger pool than Kanye.")

Drake is riding a wave of success that has never been seen before in this genre of music, and I'm convinced at this point that he could release a track with nothing but xylophone sounds and people would flock to buy it. He just has that kind of pull at the moment. Unlike most rappers, he hasn't had any slumps or periods where his popularity diminished heavily, yet he is rationing out content infrequently while his fans await each new track. Because of this model for distribution of his music, the demand for his music has skyrocketed over the past three years. "Summer Sixteen" is yet another example of how Drake markets his musical content perfectly and builds massive amounts of anticipation and hype for his upcoming albums. In this sense, he is the best rapper to ever market his own personal brand as well as his music.

With "Summer Sixteen" having only been released yesterday, heaps of success are most likely to follow in the coming week as the content becomes more readily available than just on iTunes. With another potential smash hit poised to only further his place in the history books, I and everyone else should get very excited for what musical masterpiece Drake is going to bless us with in the Summer of 2016.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
