1. Total D.R.A.M.a Island
Virginia rapper D.R.A.M. claims that the beat for "Hotline Bling" was jacked from his track, "Cha Cha." But in an interview with FADER, Drake claims that it was just his take on a bigger sound. "It's like, everyone has to do a song on that." ("Cha Cha" is now trending on Twitter.)

2. He's Always on Beat
The bright, ridiculous video has inspired a meme backing Drake's dancing with other music, including, perfectly, the Charlie Brown theme. It highlights something about the rapper's persona -- he's basically Charlie Brown after successfully kicking the football (and maybe he's still a little unhappy with Lucy).

3. Dominican Drake Explodes
The bachata influence on the video (in addition to the overall sound of "Hotline Bling") led Dominican Drake memes to explode. Let Remezcla take you through some of the best of the bunch.

4. He Has His Own Sitcom
This one is just for fun -- but seriously, you can imagine Aubrey getting a sitcom, right? He'll be a great dad on ABC one day.



5. And Erykah Badu's "Hotline Bling" is Still the Best

Sorry, guys. We went through this scientifically a month ago, and Erykah Badu's version of "Hotline Bling" blows Drake's (and everyone else's) out of the water. It's a great day for Drake, but it's always a better day for Erykah.
