 One new video off his acclaimed Take Care album wasn't enough to drop on the weekend, so in addition to a clip of the Rihanna-featured title track, Drake dropped a second video. One bar mitzvah wasn't enough for Drake either. So in honour of his addictive Lil Wayne collaboration, "HYFR," the Toronto artist brings a camera crew along to capture his re-bar mitzvah for the music video.
It's pretty fun stuff. If you're not Jewish, you might want to consider it after watching this.
Famous rap celebs show up, everyone parties pretty hard, Drake gets lifted up in the air while seated in chair, and the some old folks get freaky on the dance floor. (Plus, the home video footage of Drake's first bar mitzvah is a fun prelude.)

Warning: Not suitable for work! Some language may offend. "HYFR" is written as an acronym on the CD's track list for a reason.
 Drake and Rihanna flirted on video once before, for Rihanna's "What's My Name?" single. And now: Round 2.
The video for Drake's title single off his smash Take Care album features the two superstars getting cuddly once again.
The visuals for "Take Care," a tune that has been been in radio rotation for a while now, is a pretty slick, stripped-down affair, shot almost exclusively in black and white.
Besides a sensitive Drake, dressed in a simple black tee, and a sultry Rihanna, sort of dressed in a sweater that's trying to slump right off of her, the video features some amazing slow-mo shots of a fish, a bull and a blue jay.
Watch it after the jump.
 Instead of downplaying his potentially street-cred-damaging past as wheelchair-bound Jimmy, a TV character he played on Canada's Degrassi: the Next Generation prior to his massive rap breakthrough, Drake has incorporated a little Jimmy into his performance.
Footage from a recent live show in California shows the Toronto MC debuting "The Wheelchair Jimmy" dance onstage to the sounds of his hit "The Motto." The original, fictional "Jimmy" was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by another student.
It'll be interesting to see if Drizzy's new dance catches on?
Ignore the distorted audio and watch footage of the dance after the jump.
 Although early reports speculated that rappers Drake and Common, who have been firing pointed lyrics at each other over the last couple months, exchanged harsh words when they finally met face-to-face backstage during last weekend's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, recent news reveals the opposite.
According to Hip Hop Wired, the two stars -- who share a friend in tennis star Serena Williams -- did meet backstage, but they actually talked out their issues and put an end to their tensions. Thanks in large part to Drake's father.
 Despite his considerable wealth, Drake has gone decidedly low-budget for his latest clip in support of the platinum Take Care. For "Practice," an ode to the club-hopping ladies who aren't too shy to shake it on the dance floor, the Canadian rapper sets up one single long shot of -- what else? -- a booty-blessed girl practising her dance moves alone in fornt of her bedroom mirror.
Drake, who is about to embark on his Club Paradise tour, doesn't even appear in the video until the very end.
Warning: The video is probably not safe for work and may offend some.
Drake is being sued by a woman claiming to be his ex girlfriend
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ericka Lee says she’s the voice on the phone in the rapper’s track "Marvin’s Room."
The song was released last year and quickly went viral. It features a young woman on the other end of the phone call, drunkenly complaining about something - it’s hard to hear what she’s saying - while Drake assures her “You could do better.”
Now, THR says Lee is suing Drake for royalties and asking that a judge declare her co-writer.
 It got pretty darn Canadian up in the nation's capital on Sunday afternoon, as Canada's hottest hip-hop export came to the home of the Senators, Scotiabank Place, to perform during the second intermission of a hockey game sponsored by Tim Hortons.
It's only what most of us drink, play and listen to, all colliding on a happy winter's day filled with 21 goals. Drake shouted out our country, our game and the NHL while launching into a two-song performances of his hits "Headlines" and "The Motto."
Players from both all-star teams took to the ice with smartphones in hand to document the mini concert, and Drake visited the dressing rooms during the first intermission to meet the stars and sign autographs.
Rumour is, Drake even left with NHL leading scorer Evgeni Malkin's game stick.
The surprises are almost expected now.
Canadian rap hero Drake has been known to jump onstage unannounced in support of other artists when they tour through Toronto. He has appeared and performed a song or two at Toronto concerts by J. Cole, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, and Bun B in the last few years.
Well, on Friday night Drizzy once again got up to his old tricks.
Harlem's A$AP Rocky, one of the most buzzed-about MCs around, will be opening up for Drake during the chart-topper's tour through the U.S. And on Friday Drake returned the favour by dropping by Rocky's show at The Opera House.
"I'd like to welcome you to the greatest city in the mother****** world!" Drake hollered to the delight of the frenzied crowd. Drake performed "Cameras" and "The Motto" before leaving the stage.
Watch below...
If you thought the war of words between two of rap's nicest guys had run its course, think again.
Veteran Chicago MC Common fired another light jab toward Toronto’s Drake during a freestyle he performed for a recent Atlanta radio station event.
Known for his ability to rhyme naturally off the top of his head, Common was receiving cue words from radio personality Ryan Cameron and then working them into his spontaneous verse over the instrumental to his hit “The Light.”
When Drake’s name was called out, Common playfully rapped, “Yan can ask why/ People wanting me to keep dissing Canada Dry/ I can’t do that.”
The “Canada Dry” reference was a nod to Common’s verse on a remix he recorded of ”Stay Schemin’,” a song in which Drake first fired a shot at Common.
“I’m taking too long with this amateur guy/ You ain’t wettin’ nobody, n***a, you Canada Dry,” Common rapped over Drake’s original beat.
While the disses between Drake and Common have been fairly tame, it will be interesting to see if Drake follows up with a response. Rumour has it, the “beef” between the two artists stems from Drake’s close relationship with Common’s ex-girlfriend, tennis star Serena Williams.
Remember the girl with the Drake tattoo and the tattoo artist who inked the hip hop star's name on her forehead? The guy who called the girl a "dumbass" and a "crackhead" in Vice magazine, appeared to admit she was on drugs, and totally absolved himself of all responsibility? Kevin Campbell is his name. Great guy.
Read the whole story here.
Well, it seems Drake sent a security guard into the Los Angeles shop where Campbell works. What happened after that is unclear, but Campell, in response to someone asking whatever happened with that whole thing, tweeted, "guess you could call it sorted out. When Drake was in LA last, he parked out front the shop and sent in his huge security dude." (via The Fader)
He and his online buddies then proceeded to poke a lot of fun at Drizzy, because the rapper had threatened during an interview to kick Campbell's butt hisownself, telling Mando Fresko "The guy who tatted it is a f---in a--hole... I don’t f--- with that guy. F--- you to that tattoo artist because you’re an a--hole. You should lose your job and never do tattoos again. And I don’t f--- with you and if I see you, I’m a f--- you up."
I assume Campbell, who has far more enemies than he has friends, has to take his triumphs where he can get them. I do wonder what happened in the store though...
