Is that you, Aubrey, in the bright OVO chain and glowing sweater, backstage at Toronto's battle-rap league King of the Dot?

Shane Kippel must have thought something close to this last Saturday, January 26, when he ran into Drake, his former Degrassi colleague. Both Kippel and the Canadian MC starred on the popular TV series in the early 2000s. Kippel, you may remember, played Spinner, the bully with a heart of gold. Graham, as you must remember, spent time on the show in a wheelchair. It is not acceptable to write about Drake and Degrassi without mentioning this.

So, the Degrassi reunion we've always wanted has happened. Only it didn't happen on TV, it happened on Twitter.
