Rap-Up.com || Drake and Nicki Minaj Perform ‘Make Me Proud’ on ‘SNL’ [Video]

It was a Young Money takeover on “Saturday Night Live.” After appearing in skits and performing “Headlines,” Drake returned to the stage for an encore performance with his labelmate Nicki Minaj. The rappers showed off their chemistry (and Nicki flaunted her assets in a skintight bodysuit) while performing “Make Me Proud,” the second single from Drizzy’s sophomore album Take Care.

@Drew, It sounded good just not as good as the actual song which is understandable and if that performance wasn’t energetic to you then you must have pretty high standards besides who said it had to be energetic?….

Drake’s weaknesses:

- Singles: Grading C – Barely any replay value.

- Live performances: Grading D – So awkward and about as interesting as watching paint dry.

- Background: Grading D – Private schooled rich boy who played that wheelchair kid on that show.

- Appearance: Grading E – Jew curls, man boobs and obsession with sweaters. Softest dude in hip hop history, he looks like he’d cry if you insulted him.

Other than that, he’s not bad.

@ESCO, Drake does not have man boobs, I think you’re staring too hard hoping they’ll appear. If he wants to wear sweaters… SO WHAT? Why does it bother you? Drake isn’t a thug or a wanna be thug and that makes him soft? LEAVE. Why are you here wasting your time?

@ESCO, I was going to point out all your flaws in your grading but I just realized you must be either an idiot, death, or just a plain troll…or all three? Anyways not going to waste my time on dumb ass like you and neither is Drake so I don’t get why you posted this like he will ever see your “grades” let alone actually believe it and you are relevant in anyway .
