He's got a club in the Toronto Raptors arena, a pool that's bigger than Kanye's, and a sonic empire. But there's one thing Drake doesn't have: immortality. This upcoming summer will give Drake the chance to ascend to an undebatable spot in rap as an OG and gain the ability to silence nonbelievers, forever. Check out the six highlights you should see from Drake this summer in the world of rap.

1. Drizzy is lookin' for sweet revenge


In 2015, the lyrics of "6-God" said there was a joint effort in place throughout the industry to make him mortal and end his reign. Success is the best revenge and in hip-hop, that's a classic album. If the 6-God wishes to smite infidels and give them eternal suffering, a timeless record is the answer. Listen to Drake's first step at revenge.

2. "Bulletproof" verses

After a decade-long tenure of conquered rap beefs and lethal subliminals, foolish doubters still question Drake's powers:

Expect Drizzy to give us bars so hard they dislocate jaws and strep throat that'll stop all of the talking.

3. We'll see if Drake "turns into Jay"

Drake is a cultural phenomenon. This summer gives Drake the chance to be forever cemented as either a U.S. pop-culture icon or another short-lived star.

4. BARS

Champagne Papi is an established singer-songwriter with R&B and pop appeal. The "King of Pop" has built his crossover Neverland. Now it's time to fortify his rap stronghold. How do you do that? Give hip-hop bulletproof BARS.

5. Summer '16 will show who truly "runs it down here"

This year's competition is deadly. Platinum-certified J. Cole is releasing this month. Yeezus is scheduled to release "Waves," the "best album of all time," on Feb. 11. Summer '16 will show if Drake can continue his dominance in the coming battle of rap's gods.

6. Views From the 6

"Take Care" is considered a classic album sonically. "Nothing Was the Same" highlighted his versatility. "Views" needs to be Drake's magnum opus. At his career's prime, "Views'" task will be to bring him hip-hop's upper echelon of lyrical ability. This will bring respect and most importantly immortality to the title "6-God."

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
