Though the 1,500-capacity Apollo Theater will mark a rare club gig for a rapper of Drake’s magnitude, he is merely the latest in a long line of legendary rappers to play the NYC venue. In the 1990s alone, the Apollo hosted performances from Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, the Fugees, Eric B. & Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, Method Man, Redman, and DMX, among others.
The news continues a big year for Drake, who in June scored his 11th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. Honestly, Nevermind earned 204,000 equivalent album units in its first week of release, with 11,000 being pure sales. In doing so, Drake moved past Kanye West and Eminem to tie Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand for the third-most No. 1s in the history of the chart, trailing only the Beatles (19) and Jay-Z (14).
In August, Drake earned another career milestone, scoring his 30th top-five single on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing the Beatles’ record of 29, which stood for 55 years.
