Tour Rumor: Drake, Weezy, Jeezy and Jay?

Drake announced in an exclusive interview with MuchMusic that he could soon be joining hip-hop’s titans in a late-summer tour of epic proportions. The blogosphere’s latest darling emcee says the scheduling is still being worked out, but that he could soon be hitting the road with the likes of Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy.

Drake may be Canada’s biggest export since Pamela Anderson’s chest, but he will be dwarfed by the game’s biggest stars if this tour comes to fruition. Given the alleged line-up, it wouldn’t take much to assemble a full-blown hip-hop tour of Woodstock proportions. Add Kanye and Em, a couple young guns like CuDi and Asher Roth, and the legendary Roots crew and you would blow every other summer festival out of the water easily.

Hip-hop may have gone pop, but it would be even fresher to see it go country. Imagine how dope it would be to see urban music’s biggest stars rock a pasture (not so) near you. The security bill would be through the roof and the NIMBY crowd may have a cow, but that would be a small price to pay for such an epic tour.

It may sound far-fetched but with album sales lower than the Dow Jones, touring is where the money is.

So…get on that Drizzy.
