But who knows? Hey, Drake, next time you’re up there, tweet a photo, would you?Ĥ. in the west end, the site of his first recording studio. Maybe he’s looking down on Degrassi St., where his career in the spotlight began. What, exactly, is Drizzy’s view of The 6 from way up high? With no reference points to determine the direction he’s facing, we can’t really say. Cheeky photoshoppers have also given him plenty of company up there, from “Sad Keanu” Reeves, in one case, or a more fitting crew that includes Kobe Bryant, Jay Z and Beyoncé.ģ. Drake’s perch atop the tower (on Twitter, someone compared his pose to “Elf on a Shelf”) makes him eminently transferable to any number of landmarks: the sign outside the diner on Seinfeld, say, or the roof of a Pi Kappa Phi frat house or the Death Star. “I’m kinda dece(nt)” with the software, he said.Ģ. One Instagram user suggested it was just bad Photoshop and that he could help fix it. Maybe that was the point: to confer his kingly status. Amid the barbs, a good point: compared with images of actual people out on the CN Tower’s freaky EdgeWalk, where you can pay to dangle off the tower on a tether, Drake is a 15-foot-tall giant (he’s actually about 6 feet). But here’s our point-by-point look at the album cover that launched a thousand tweets.ġ. Is the photo doctored? It seems certain, although Cronenberg, through her agent, turned down the Star’s request for comment, so we could not confirm. Anonymous Reddit users dissected the image, decrying it as “bad Photoshop” and suggesting everything from the lighting to the angle of the tower itself were incorrect to the point of laughable. Soon after the cover appeared, so did the critics and the memes. The new record, called Views From the 6, is, like Drake himself, devoted to his hometown: “To the city I love and the people in it,” he said on Instagram. It shows Drake perched on the roof above the CN Tower’s observation deck, surveying the city like the master of an expansive domain. The rapper caused a stir Sunday when the album cover, shot by Toronto photographer Caitlin Cronenberg, appeared online. How huge? Well, if you believe the cover of his new album - set to be released on Friday - about 15 feet tall. We all know that Drake, hip-hop superstar and Toronto’s favourite son, is huge.
