RAPPERS' DELIGHT: Drake Covers April 2012 GQ+Wale Drops "Ambition" Video+Common Turns 40!

Mar 13 | by _YBF

Good ish for rap fans. Drake is covering GQ magazine's first ever Style Bible, Wale just dropped his video for his hit single "Ambition," and Common is making 40 look sexy as ever. Deets inside...

In a 3-cover issue, Young Money rapper Drake is gracing the front of GQ's April 2012 STYLE BIBLE issue. The other two covers belong to actors Dave Franco (James Franco's little brother) and John Slattery (who is starring in the brand new independent filmIn Our Nature opposite Gabby Union.)

Drizzy is keeping it sleek and sophisticated modeling suits for the issue. The full story will be out on GQ.com tomorrow.

Wale’s official video for his album titled track “Ambition” just premiered earlier today on BET. The track features his Maybach Music group homies Rick Ross and Meek Mill. Check it above.

And today, Common turns 40-years-old! Pushing beyond the realms of hip hop, Common has become a celebrated actor, author and public speaker.

And with a stellar musical legacy of positive and uplifting rhymes, the dapper rapper inspires his fans to be believers and dreamers in all they do.

Check out Common's style in the gallery....

I'm Female, 22, and just this

I'm Female, 22, and just this Christmas had a brief encounter with a mature man. It was wonderful. We met via internet dating on this site: ---[Ｍi XｅdM A TCHing. C óM ]-It's where black white sing-les looking for someone to enjoy their lifestyle with. Come in and stay a while. Complete your profile. Post a message, a picture of yourself and check out the photo galleries. Give it a try, you will find someone you like here - ;) a good way to meet like-minded people, and he actually approached me first. It just so happens I like black man and he likes whtie woman around my age. We had an amazing day and later on he joined me at a hotel. It was like a fantasy come true. Amazing company, amazing sex too and a really warm and loving man. He will turn 36 this month, and my goodness what a connection we had that day. ????Admires????????Admires???? You could meet her/him at *** --- m'i'x'ed M'A'T'C'H' i n 'g '_c(0)m---

I beg to differ! and so do

I beg to differ! and so do the rest of his millions of fans. He is one of the sexiest men alive hands down! He came to Oklahoma City on February 28th and did a concert and he brought the house down, that following weekend I thought I saw him at Chili's and I was thinking nah that can't be him but I kept it to myself just in case. Famous people deserve their private time and to chill..but I almost passed out..lol..and well right now thinking about him...well..oh my gotta go:)

Drake has a big butt and

Drake has a big butt and thighs which affects the way pants fit on him. Poor thing. If he were shaped like a normal man, that suit would look so much better. If Dwyane Wade wore that same style of suit, you guys would be fawning over him.

I hate Drake but I think that him being on the cover of GQ is great. It means that the magazine is crossing over and recognizing blacks. Happy Birthday Common.

It is impossible to fall out

It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love, there is only an 'on' ramp. (( H_o_t_B_l_a_c_k_w_h_i_t_e. c_0_m )) Lots of my friends found their lovers through the se'rvice. You may have a try... ;) Im over here dying laughing literally
