In the just-released promo for the upcoming VMAs, Drake is rocking some major classic man-chic. Using Frank Sinatra and Denzel Washington’s Mo Better Blues character for reference, Drake pours on the smooth.

Drake stated: “I get to channel my inner Sinatra. In the acting world, you gotta have reference points. I like to get into characters. Mo’ Better Blues’ is like one of my favorite movies of all time. This reminds me of Denzel [Washington], who played a character [called] Bleek Gilliam.”

Drake is up for two awards this year in the categories for Best Male Video for Find Your Love and Best Hip-Hop Video for Forever. The rapper, who finally dropped his debut earlier this year, is set to take the stage with Kanye West.

As most of you know, the MTV VMAs are usually hit or miss. Last year’s show was undoubtedly one of the better years, showcasing more entertaining eclectic numbers. Besides Drake, I am also very excited to see Florence + the Machine take the stage and was pleasantly surprised that MTV extended the offer for the talented act to grace such a gigantic platform. Florence + the Machine has definitely earned the opportunity.

Will you be tuning in to this year’s show?
