So, as you may have heard by now, Drake hosted Saturday Night Live this past weekend. The larger-than-life Toronto rapper took to his Degrassi roots, acting in the skits that, believe it or not, came out pretty funny. Drizzy was at his best while impersonating Lil Wayne and Jay Z in a Hip-Hop version of “Before They Were Stars” hosted by a hilarious Sway, played by Keenan Thompson (“If you’re black, you know me from the wake up show, if you’re white-you know me from this hat“). Drake (or the SNL writers) cleverly take advantage of the Degrassi background to project what it would be like, for example, if Eminem was on Felicity before making “Kim” or what Rick Ross would have been like as a Teletubby. Drake also goes to a Bar Mitzvah and participates in a digital short. Check it all out, streaming below.
