Jay-Z served as Drake’s hypeman during a live Halloween night performance of the former actor’s smash hit “Successful” in his hometown of Toronto.

After all the hype, what do you think of hip-hop’s exalted “savior’s” collabo with some of the biggest names in the game? Rock It or Drop It?

Toronto hip-hop impressario took to Twitter on Sunday to reveal that he’ll be undergoing surgery on his injured knee on September 8.

"In the studio ... working on Thank Me Later ... magic ... surgery September 8th," he wrote. "Then we're back in business."

In June, the rapper tore his three ligaments (ACL, MCL and LCL) during a game of basketball.

Drake collapsed onstage after his injured knee gave way during a show in Camden, New Jersey on Friday night.

The Canadian hip-hop newcomer was forced to pull out of the 30-minute set at The Young Money Presents: The America’s Most Wanted Music Festival. Doctors had advised Drake against performing so that he could recover from a torn ACL, but the actor turned rapper was determined to take the stage. Drake lasted just a few seconds before slipping and collapsing on the stage.

In a post on his Twitter.com page Saturday, Drake writes, “All is well… on the bus laying down… getting surgery this week, but I’m walking.”

Drake was interviewed by ABC News correspondent Darius Brown this week. Canadian hip-hop’s newest sensation — the movement behind the mega hit “Best I Ever Had” — recalled his start in showbiz, appearing as Wheelchair Jimmy on Degrassi: The Next Generation, how he met Lil Wayne and Young Money, and the similarities to Will Smith.

Hip-hop’s hottest sensation reminds you to stay safe with a personal endorsement for Strapped Condoms.

The music video premiere for Canadian hip-hop sensation Drake’s smash summer hit “Best I Ever Had,” directed by Kanye West, officially premiered on Thursday morning. The Degrassi alum recently ended an industry-wide bidding war and signed with Young Money/Cash Money. Drake’s debut album Thank Me Later will debut later this year.

No one hates quite like 50 Cent. In a new interview with XXL, the always-opinionated hip-hop heavyweight sounded off on comparisons between himself and Canadian newcomer Drake.

“I didn’t hear that, I don’t think you can accomplish that right now…Not without finance. I hear his record on the radio. He got a good buzz, I hear him. Shit, it wasn’t possible for my music to be on the radio when I was coming. You know mine’s was completely organic. Ain’t nothing there just because, enough for it to be playing every hour on the hour. That song is being worked like he’s on a label. You know I’m sure Sylvia Rhone or Universal — they’re spending money to get the record played. They got the public feeling like its just happening. He might not be signed yet, but they may work it to get him to sign…”
