No cost to attend. Call (727) Drake, 23, rapped and sang before a largely female audience Friday at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa. By J0INVILLE MICHEL jmicheltampatrib.com TAMPA It's not hard to figure out where Drake picked up some of his performance quirks. The herky-jerky extended arm thing, which he does when rapping and emphasizing a point, is a variation of what Jay-Z and Eminem have done for years without the spastic motion. Drake also tends to hop while performing.

At times he looks as if he's skipping rope or has been shoved. Drake's incarcerated Young Money label boss Lil Wayne does this. But neither those things nor Drake's monotone singing mattered Friday night to the predominantly female crowd of 4,717 at the University of South Florida's Sun Dome. With their "nails done, hair done," and many wearing fancy high heels, the audience members were on their feet from the moment Drake slowly walked to the mic until he left 90 minutes later. They sang or rapped along throughout and even chimed in during the 23-year-old former child actor's more hard-core lyrics.

Their energy caused the seats to shake on several occasions. Commanding the stage, Drake returned the love, bringing one fan onstage and warning her that "anything can happen." During a break, Drake scanned the audience and complimented several women. "I see you," he said to a girl in a form-fitting yellow dress as she waved from the second level facing the stage. The stage setup was sparse, but a psychedelic laser light show and fireworks accentuated several songs. Drake was backed by a DJ who mixed in background vocals, drummer, keyboardist, backup singer and two guitarists.

Though he has released only one official album, Drake supplemented his set with songs from his critically acclaimed mixtape, "So Far Gone," and several others on which he has been featured. The set list is feature-heavy, but because Drake's verses are often the highlights of those songs, the absence of the primary artists was generally not missed. Generally. During "Unthinkable (I'm Ready)," Drake held his own, but the backup singer's squeaky, off-key rendition didn't do Alicia Keys' part justice. Francis Farewell Starlite opened the show.

His Francis and the Lights rock trio was initially greeted with indifference, but their '80s-style grooves and Starlite's frenetic Prince-like dancing eventually won over the crowd.
