On September 14, my Day 2 in NYC, I was faced with the decision to either attend a couple New York Fashion Week Shows or the Jay Z and Eminem Concert at Yankee Stadium, the second half of the Home and Home Tour. Obviously I didn’t give up the once in a lifetime opportunity to witness this epic event and am I sure glad I did. A huge thank you to my girl Jess from Karmaloop for hooking it all up and being a great host. We gathered a crew of cute boys, hopped in a couple cars and made our way down to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx for my first time and partied it up with over 50,000 fans. It took me a while to get use to just how huge Yankee Stadium was, especially the massive screen and stage. It didn’t matter where you were sitting in that place…you were guaranteed not to miss a thing.

I left feeling kind of like I watched a huge feature film starring Eminem, D-12, 50-Cent, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, JayZ, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Cool Herc, Llyod Banks, Swiss Beats, Memphis Bleek, Beyonce, J.Cole & Drake. A most memorable night for everyone, I’m sure. After the concert, was the crazy after party with my boys over at Greenhouse. No pics. lol

Oh Yeezy!

The Biggie Tribute was outstanding.

Whoa!! Look at all those people.

Kanye was rocking a red suit again, with red Louis Vuitton sneakers and the infamous Horus Chain, just like he did to the BET Awards & the VMA minus the leopard Tee. Hmmm. Interesting.  (photo via)

Drizzy Drake continues to make Tdot proud as he joined JayZ on stage at Yankee Stadium

Hottest power couple of all time. This was my favorite moment of the entire concert.

On Sunday, August 1, 2010, “October’s Very Own” Drizzy Drake put on a magical show at the first annual OVO Festival at The Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto!! Drake’s openers & special guests included Tdot’s P.Reign, BunB, Young Jeezy,  Kardinal Offishall, Mack Maine, Jay-Z, Eminem, Rick Ross & Fabulous...no big deal. This was by far the best concert I have ever witnessed and no doubt, the best hip hop concert on Canadian soil. One word…EPIC. Congrats Drake! Again & again…Congrats Congrats Congrats!!

I didn’t take as many photos as I normally do, because I didn’t want to miss a thing, but here’s what I got.

On Tuesday, June 29/2010, Virgin America marked its first flight from LA to Toronto on “Air Drake” hosted by Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson, the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger & Drake. The plane was greeted in Toronto by a welcoming party of industry faces and then after the party was an after party that took place at the new ‘it’ spot The Thompson Hotel in Toronto. I rolled through for a celebratory drink or two (or was it three? lol) and kicked it with some of my long time friends. Good times. Thanks Virgin.

It must have been a full moon during this years MMVA’s festivities (Much Music Video Awards). Clearly, there were too many after parties, not enough eye candy and way too many wild goons running around in the streets. Nevertheless, the drama kept us entertained all night.

We started the night at Ultra, as I do every year after the MMVAs, but it was so A-list that it was just straight up boring. Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush in one corner, the Black Eyed Peas in the other while WillIAm was spinning, the Sean John crew, the Etalk crew, Girlicious, SYTYCD crew, a few industry regulars and Perez and Lady Gag. Yawn. Next stop was Century Room, to Drake’s party where we were greeted with a street full of cop cars and the S.W.A.T. team and rumors of a pool of blood and gun shots. Next! Cobra for the Universal Party which was just next door and was serving till 4am. I was almost falling asleep until I ran out to grab DJ Wikked and instead got caught in the middle of the WillIam and Perez Hilton scuffle. Now, that was hilarious. We laughed our way to Courthouse, where, finally, people were jammin and having fun and where the bar was also open to 4am! Great end to an drama-filled evening. Here’s just a few pix captured from the night…

Black, white and silver again….neutrals must have been the theme for the night.

Even I was wearing neutrals, except for the Stephen Sprouse and my matching nails.

The scene outside Drake’s party @ Century Room

The night didn’t end well for some of us. Poor Perez Hilton was sobbing in the street with Lady Gaga by his side after he got punched by ??. lol. No comment. A very different Perez that I saw last year @ the MMVAs!

You’ll remember Paul Leli from my recent post about the portrait  he was commissioned to paint for Lil Wayne, which by the way is hanging is Weezy’s Miami home. Paul called me several weeks ago about his plans to paint another special painting, but this time for Drake and I was excited to see the results. They presented Drake with this painting on the day of his homecoming concert and the boys at 1love.com captured the making of this on video (above).

I met with Paul yesterday and he’s super sweet, yet another dope Toronto talent on fire right now!

Dear World,

Don’t sleep on Tdot.

Love GetJanet xo

On Wednesday night (May 13/09), our much loved Drizzy Drake performed @ The Sound Academy, to an anxious hometown Toronto crowd, a crowd of 2000 plus friends, fam and fans. Peep the 46 min video above for the full show version in case you missed it and feel the vibe! (kudos to ATF for capturing this amazing raw video footage)

Drake continues to make Tdot proud as we all watched in awe, history in the making, the making of an international superstar, that is. I had the best seat in the house, behind the DJ booth, where you could literally feel the love in the air, the love of his peers and fellow Canadian rap artists Kardinal Offishall, Page, Bishop, Ken Masters, and Saucrates who surrounded me on stage with their Flip video cameras, careful not to miss a moment of what’s about to become one of the biggest phenomenons to ever come out of Toronto.

One day, we will all be able to say we witnessed it all go down.

After the concert, we all headed to C-lounge for a little after partying, then after the party was the after party, where loved ones gathered to congratulate Toronto’s very own Drizzy Drake. xo

On Friday night, we celebrated our dear friend Uche’s birthday and what a celebration it was. The fabulous soiree took place inside One Restaurant, connected to the Hazleton Hotel, quickly becoming known as one of Tdot’s hot spots. Attendees included some of the city’s finest, about 40 of my favorite boys and girls…Azuka, Oliver (Ransom), Shannae (What Women Want), Nebby (The Segment), Winny, Rachel, Coco & Lowe, Brazen Hussy, T-Rexx (Shuffle, Remix), Wayne Warner, Mike, Venus (Flow93.5), Sharob, and our boy Drake even made it, having just a day off from the I Am Music Tour. Our crew took up 2 huge tables in the amazing special events room inside One Restaurant…we ate fantastic food, we laughed, we sipped on champagne, and we had a toast to a wonderful friend Uche and then after dinner, we all rolled over to Libra Lounge for the launch of our girls’ Sharob & Nekita’s new Production Company, King & Knight, and consumed massive amounts of champagne, yummy cupcakes and strawberries. Thanks Uche for being born…we love you! xo

Shoutout to the papparazzi, Q & Photo Will for capturing the night.

After the party it’s an after party…

After the Lil Wayne concert, we kicked it with Drake & crew at Vivoli Restaurant (665 College St), shut down the joint and till 4am, we feasted on seafood, pasta, pizza, etc…we drank pitchers of Sangria, sipped on Margaritas and fancy blue cocktails, we laughed…a lot, we celebrated, then Azuka strolled in, and as tradition will have it, popped some bubbly. Some very special toasts were made dedicated to our much loved Drake…”to being bigger than life in 2009″. xo

Congrats Drake!
