Drake on Wednesday night showed Los Angeles what putting on a show really means. Calling it a homecoming.
Drake ran through hit-after-hit on the stage at Staples Center in a three days non stop event.
From the apropos opener “Summer Sixteen,” was an extravaganza, complete with real stunning
light displays, blazing fire, shooting smoke, and a
moving stage that lifted Drizzy during different
tracks...Dope right??

“All we did tonight was drink, smoke,
and enjoy music, and show love, You
could take this concept and apply that shit to
your life when you walk out these doors. Only
way we’re gonna keep this world spinning is if
we protect each other and show love“If you’re coming back on any of the
other nights, I’ll see you,” he said.
