It’s no secret that Drake (Aubrey Graham for those of you in the know) once acted on the teen drama series, Degrassi: The Next Generation. When he first hit the scene as a rapper, rappers like Lil’ Wayne would joke about him playing a character in a wheel chair. Well he certainly has made it far but us fans will never forget how his character, Jimmy Brooks, was treated on that show. He basically got the short end of the stick by getting weird dialogue, sad story lines, and terrible treatment from other characters.
1. Sometimes he had really corny lines that would be given to him because he’s black.
2. A lot of his acting had to do with reacting to the stupidity of his best friend, Spinner.
3. He always had crazy hair, but to make it worse he rocked a jerry curl to be Michael Jackson for an episode.
4. The girl his character dated was kind of the worst.
5. Having a persistent boner was a legitimate story line for his character.
6. And of course we can’t forget…

7. The worst part is that he didn’t get shot for anything he did. It’s because his best friend framed him!
8. We then had to heart-breakingly watch his character go through physical therapy.
9. Other characters loved calling him names.
10. In general, he was kind of just surrounded by messed up people.
