Drake dons an afro for his cameo role in "Anchorman 2."

Drake grows a 'fro and chops for his "Anchorman 2" cameo.

We've felt a few ways about Drake's style: Sometimes he's totally dapper in GQ, and other times he gets meme-ified for his "fashion choices." But NOBODY expected him to reach all the way back to the '70s for his next look! OK, to be fair, Drake does have a reason for this 'fro + chops combo, as he is appearing in "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues"! But you know what? We kind of think he's never looked so natural!

The "Girls Love Beyoncé" rapper was snapped filming a scene from the forthcoming Will Ferrell-led sequel in New York City, and it got us thinking of other decades Drake could borrow from. What if Drizzy went '80s with A Flock Of Seagulls haircut from their "I Ran" video? Or he could go '90s with have tall, braided hair like Coolio? All right, perhaps we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves, and Drake looks fine just the way he is, but you can't blame us for trying. So, in short, our advice to Drake would be do NOT make any ill-advised haircut choices -- unless it's for a feature film. Then all bets are off.

DJ Khaled enlists Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne try to make magic again on "No New Friends."

Drake shoos away hanger-ons on DJ Khaled's "No New Friends."

When you're a multiplatinum, Grammy-award winning rapper and heartthrob, don't be surprised if a bunch of "friends" and "long-lost family members" turn up at your doorstep, hoping for a piece of the fame pie. Oh wait, we're only describing Drake, right? Fair enough. But the principle is universal: The people who were with you from the beginning are the ones who matter most. This holds true on DJ Khaled's latest single, "No New Friends," from the upcoming Suffering From Success, featuring Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and the aforementioned Drizzy. Also, if these guys are suffering, we want to be MISERABLE.

Listen to Drake's "Girls Love Beyonce."

Drake is well aware that all "Girls Love Beyonce" on his latest single.

I'm definitely a girl, and I DEFINITELY love Beyoncé, which basically means that Drake wrote his new song, "Girls Love Beyonce," specifically for me! And also for 99.9 percent of the female population who also happen to have a girl-crush/music-crush/everything-crush on Beyoncé. (And here I was feeling special for a minute!) Also, we should probably warn you that Drake's new song features the PERFECT inclusion of Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" -- just letting you know now so you can avoid a public "OMG" meltdown later.

Snoop Lion and Drake discuss the motivation behind recording their anti-gun violence song behind the scenes of "No Guns Allowed."

Watch Snoop and Drake discuss their song against gun violence, "No Guns Allowed."

When Snoop Lion released "No Guns Allowed," his poignant plea to end gun violence (from the upcoming album Reincarnated), we all dropped what we were doing to listen. As someone who has been in the rap game for more than two decades and on the streets for even longer, when Snoop speaks out on something like gun violence, it holds a certain weight. Now, in a behind-the-scenes video from the "No Guns Allowed" video set, Drake and the recently turned Rastafarian reveal their personal motivations for recording this seminal song.

Snoop Lion makes a harrowing statement against gun violence in his video for "No Guns Allowed."

Snoop Lion makes a statement against gun violence in his video for "No Guns Allowed."

One of the best things about Snoop Dogg's enlightening path to Snoop Lion is that now he's unafraid to tackle controversial issues like gun control (on second thought, he probably wouldn't have been afraid as Snoop Dogg either, but a light Rastafari touch does help drive the point home). That brings us to "No Guns Allowed," Snoop's eye-opening ballad for gun control, featuring daughter Cori B. and fellow rap superstar Drake.

Drake goes lo-fi and to the volleyball courts in his latest video for "5AM In Toronto".

Drake goes to the volleyball courts in his "5AM In Toronto" video.

With the release of his third studio album, Nothing Was The Same, on the horizon (no official release date yet), we feel like Drake is probably trying to chill out a bit, forget about that Chris Brown feud, and live his #bestlife. Some people opt to let loose at the nearest watering hole, but that's not Drake's bag. Nope, for Drake, "recreation" means aggro rapping in the back alley of an all-night rec center filled with scantily clad women in the video for his latest single, "5AM In Toronto." But why shouldn't Drake kick back with some sports? It worked in "Best I Ever Had"! Whatever brings you peace, Driz!

Snoop makes a plea for peace along with his daughter Cori B. and Drake on new track "No Guns Allowed."

Snoop makes a plea for peace on his latest track, "No Guns Allowed," featuring Cori B. and Drake.

With his transformation from Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion (though it seems he can alter between the two whenever he likes), the veteran emcee has made a few noticeable changes in his life. Though certain habits remain the same, Snoop has found enlightenment in his conversion to Rastafarianism, namely that he's on a mission to help stop gun violence. On "No Guns Allowed," the latest single from his debut as Snoop Lion, Reincarnated, Snoop teams up with Drake and daughter Cori B. (who's got some bangers in her own right -- see: "Do My Thang," "SMH," and "Daddy's Girl") in a plea for peace on the streets. Better listen to him, guys -- if anyone knows about street life, it's Snoop.
