1999, when you could still say "Kanye West" at a Bar Mitzvah.
ye came out in like 05
yo are we sure drake wasn't meant to be a comedian instead of a rapper? this is coming from someone who loves his music, but i never realized how damn funny he was til I saw these sketches. his music is normally a lot more heavy hitting and emotional which is okay, but he seems more comfortable and like himself when he's doing these sorts of routines. or is that just me??
He started off as an actor so that might play in to it.
moofiefloop I absolutely love his music and I also feel like he's meant to act. When I see him on tour, he's more than a rapper performing, he puts on a musical show as well as just a show. In these sketches, man, he's funny as hell. I really think he's just super talented for both worlds. I think I remember him say in an interview he might go back to acting at some point. I just hope he does it well, not like some rnb/rappers acting just for the hell of it, which makes them end up in dumb movies.
moofiefloop of course he's funny, he's Jewish
Occidental79er ACTOR, PLAY into it... Pun intended or not?
Heavy hitting and emotional? What are you smoking? And where can I get some?
"Dated Rihannacah" 😝💎
Rihanna cuh/cu’. It means bro or fam
@@agebukahsay9772 no
drakes charisma...man he's charisma,from talking to he's movements head to toe...corny but damn genuine cool guy...
its hard not to love that goofy ass bitch
PP Wieners huh lol Drake is apart his name gtfoh
That’s why he was Ye’s only competition. He was the only person close to Ye’s artistic ability.
……ummmm what?
Dated Rihannakah? I love him.
its dated rihanna cu', cuz for cousin, i think
Ra Canum no... its not
@@racanum379 Hanukkah is a Jewish festival
@@racanum379 r/whoosh
Surely everyones heard of hannukah
😂😂"here's a check..dont cash it for 90 days"
As a fellow black Jew I love and relate to this
Whoopie Goldberg! we ound you!

I'm an apache jew we got brothas everywhere lol
@@mr.bannana9048 wait seriously? that's cool i've never heard of that! wait half apache half jew or actually apache jew?
@@mr.bannana9048 okay that's crazy
IM BLAAAAACK AND JEEEWISH
I'm Jewish. And Canadian :) Love this guy
@@ouareaugirl I'm an Apache Jew we are all over the place lol
Meeeee toooo
That's cool! I am just jewish
lol I'm a white jew
One thing Drake has for sure is timing. Music, comedy, hosting, he’s got the rhythm down
Mulattos are okay to say the "n-word" and it bastardization? So Ghetto!
Drake seems so polite and sweet what the heck edit: its been 2 years since I commented this, found out drakes a creep. I take it all back.
i am a indian jewish, almost black (i live in israel)
Because he is , is isn’t tough
Bc he is what the heck
sunflowers and rain 👍
🇨🇦😂❤️
Some Drake trivia: Drake’s uncle is Larry Graham. He sings a song called “One in a Million” - one of the timeless, classic, romantic love songs of all time ♥️
Remember that song!
I would say the more important fact about Larry Graham is that he created the slap-pop bass style...although he called it "thump and pluck"
Larry Graham had his own band after he left Sly and the Family Stone. In later years, he collaborated with Prince.
Kenan Thompson is playing Larry Graham, the bassist and singer for Sly and the Family Stone. He is Aubrey Drake Graham's uncle and is most notably known for creating the slap bass technique! Just a fun fact I thought I'd drop here.
Didn't actually know Drake was Jewish. That's an interesting fact. Jewish culture and tradition is really interesting. (to me)
You should look into it. I'm in the process of Conversion. Judaism is so beautiful & wonderful
@@nicknavarro9418 Judaism is a religion exclusive for Israelites. You cannot become Jewish unlike any other religion
asim abu haj It is actually possible for concert to Judaism, although it can be a pretty long process.
@@asemabuhaj That's not true at all. First of all, Judaism is not only a religion- it's also a nation...for example, I am jewish and atheist 😊 There is no such thing as "israelites", and anyone can concert to Judaism... This is a pretty complicated topic, but the important thing is that we all love and respect each other believes and ethnicity❤
@@hannahlovitt1862 you dont know anything about orthodox Judaism. There is such a thing as Israelites but since you dont even know that theres no point arguing
I've never laughed so hard with any other artist on SNL before he is ACE on both acting and singing /rrapping omg Love him and this skit is hilarious lol
One of the best/funniest SNL openings by a rapper/musician, hands down
Too many filters
he was very good in degrassi I really liked that show when I was a kid. I remember when I first heard about drake and I saw a pic n I was like his name aint drake that's aubrey from degrassi
CrazySexyCoolmeisha for the longest I’ve never new that was his real name on the show
It’s Aubrey Drake Graham. So Drake is still his name lol
Drizzy killed it!
Hottest black jewish guy since Lenny Kravitz.
Ivonne Rios I think the jury should be out till Drake also has a wardrobe malfunction. Ha.
Ivonne Rios Only black Jewish guy since Lenny Kravitz.
But have you seen me?
Lenny Kravitz is Jewish?
Manuel David Rendon Acevedo yes
I love Drake sooo much
me too
me three
Drizzy drake killed it!
Bro I was so awkward during my bar mitzvah Idk how he is so confident
bar mitzvah money like my last name mordecai
fuck you bitch I'm more than high
My momma'd probably hear that and be mortified
This ain't the son you raised who used to take the Acura 5 a.m. then go and shoot Degrassi up on Morningside
for all the stunting, I'll forever be immortalised
Bitch that means my legacy will never die.
Love Drake. He black and he Jewish. Ain't no shame in biracial or multiracial. #Drake is crazy
Shame?? Neither being black or jewish is a shame
In maybe the 1940’s it was because Of black and Jewish people being killed and mistreated. בן יצחק
@@sinjinvanncleef and LGBT and handicapped people and basically everyone except for The Aryan race
aesthetic ._. That was black in America and Jews in Germany
And after 6 years I'm watching this 😂
"do not go to Feingold's, the pickles are rubber "
It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this, I still get a kick out of it.
Well, I'm Jewish, Israeli in fact, and this was incredible, especially Vannessa's and Kenan's acting, weird thing is that Drake never came to Israel, to perform at least.
adar lowenheim Because he's waiting until it's Palestine again
Israeli.... Lol israiles aren't jews they are just atheist who are Zionists
So much ignorance in the comments, huh?
I hate Jewish people because they mistreated the Palestine
Adnaan Awil keep hating cause Israel is here to stay you dirty NAZI
this is actual fire
Drake is the bomb. One of the best Snl performers they've had. His talent is out of this world. He's blessed beyond measure. 👓🙏🏽❤️
He is so talented he hires ghost riders
He didn’t stumble once. What a talent.
Drake you use to call me on my cellhone
Nice too finally see some celebrities owning their Jewish roots...a lot of them shy away from it
Drake: *breathes Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA
Drake blinks weird when he raps.
I'm half Muslim, half Snickers. I'm called a Snackbar.
Why do white people think this is funny? It makes no sense.
Religion makes no sense. And I'm not white.
Nice one bro
@@user-wg3or1tu5y i’m muslim and i giggled
As a muslim i appreciate this joke
This might be my new favorite video. So wholesome
This sketch is the bomb I always knew that he is so talented you go Drake. God bless you and your family
He is so talented he hires people to write his raps without giving them credit
Amazing. Love it. Great comedy and totally personal and emotional and the rap was on point!
I love this. Growing up I was the only black Jew in my town and it could be a bit weird at times but it was awesome. xD
