New York Post reports:
"I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him. That's the goal," the rapper told VH1 News at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this week..."I watch all the addresses," he says. "Any time I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel. I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impressions."..."I've been reading scripts for awhile," he said. "I want to do something great. I want to do something for my culture: The younger people who are still in tune with everything going on. I’m actually writing with my friends right now."
Drake, don't quit your day job and I'm pretty sure Denzel already has that role locked. Plus, you're first movie shouldn't go down in history as one of the worst. Rappers can't act, they already do a bad job pretending they had a hard life growing up in the rich suburbs while living in their mom's basement. Just sayin'.
You do realize that before Aubrey Graham became "Drake", the famous rap superstar, he played the roll of "Jimmy Brooks" on the hit teen drama series, Degrassi? lol. That's why he doesn't sing about "thug life" and "growing up in the hood" because everyone would know it's a lie. I saw a video of him talking about it on YouTube during a radio interview. But you're right about one thing.. He really wasn't the best actor. No one on the cast was, actually. The plots were usually pretty interesting, but the actors/actresses didn't pull off the emotion very well at all. I don't doubt they'll make a movie about Obama though. Lord knows it'd be racist if they didn't. *rolls eyes
