He might be the best we ever had...

One  of the most popular rappers, singers and writers of our day, Drake is Jewish! I think it's pretty hard to be black and Jewish, as there's a lot of racism, sometimes overt, in Jewish communities.  "Newsflash: not every Jew in the world is Ashkenazi, or white, or even from New York!"

UPDATE: I have some humiliating news.

It turns out Leah already wrote about Drake last week. Yes, I'm bummed that I didn't get the scoop on this important, important news and that I didn't even know about Leah's post. 

And, yes, I too, am also baffled by how much Jews love to find out that other people are Jewish who they didn't suspect. 

But, I have to move on and continue jspoting with all my heart, even in the face of this, because like Drake once said,  "I want the money, the money and the cars, cars and the clothes, the hos. I suppose, I just want to be succesful."
