In the year 2017, almost everyone is a Drake fan. His reputation has exponentially grown from rapper to worldwide pop star. One of the most significant points in his career and maybe the most impactful was his beef with Meek Mill, where he was accused of ghostwriting. Due to these accusations, there has been a question in the hip-hop community if Drake is really as good of a rapper as he claims.

That being said, here are seven times Drizzy proved that nobody should question his lyrical ability.

1. "Fear"

Drake raps about his humble Toronto beginnings and his rise to fame, as well as all of the complications that come with it.

2. "Say Whats Real"

A classic freestyle from Drake's breakthrough mixtape "So Far Gone" over a Kanye beat that will make anyone forget the original.

3. "5AM In Toronto"

Coming off of success from "Nothing From The Same," Drake shows up with bars fired at anyone who thinks they can compete with him.

4. "30 for 30 Freestyle"

A calm, conversational freestyle over a melodic piano, where Drake reflects after winning his rap beef (while at the pinnacle of his career.)

5. "Weston Road Flows"

One of the best tracks from the polarizing "Views" album. From the beat to the flow, Weston Road Flows is Drake at his best.

6. "Lord Knows"

From arguably his best album "Take Care," Drake paired up with Rick Ross to deliver what may be his best rap song with legendary Just Blaze production.

7. "Tuscan Leather"

The is the intro to "Nothing Was The Same," and after hearing this track, I knew this album was going to be serious. Drake rapped six minutes straight to start the album.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
