Drake is bringing his “It’s All a Blur Tour” to the T.D. Garden next week (July 11 and July 12) and it’s set to be a great show. The fact that he’s performing two shows at the Garden shows us all just how popular he really is. Tickets for both shows are still available and can be purchased on the Ticketmaster website.

Drake’s set list has leaked as well. He performs 48 songs on a massive stage including “Look What You’ve Done” “Wu-Tang Forever” “Marvins Room” “Say Something” “Shot for Me” “Can I” “Feel No Ways” “Jaded” “Jungle” and “Over.” 21 Savage, who is also on the tour, comes on stage with Drake toward the end of the set to perform five songs including “Jimmy Cooks.” Drake eventually closes out the show with “Legend.”

Now, with all the hype of Drake coming to town, we decided to help him out a little bit. We wanted to let him know all about this great city of Boston. And by doing that, we asked several people on Facebook “What is the ONE thing Drake MUST do while he’s in town?” WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! As you can expect, this got hundreds of responses. Before we look at some of them, let’s talk about some RIGHT answers: take a duck boat tour, visit the top of the Prudential building, go to the Encore casino to place some bets, check out Grace by Nia in the Seaport, take in a game at Fenway, visit Faneuil Hall and so much more as Boston has so much history. But anyone can do and see those places. We want to talk about the places Drake REALLY should go (WRONG ANSWERS ONLY). Here are some of our favorite answers that you, our listeners, came up with. If you’d like to add any, please feel free!

  • Take a dip in the Charles River

    The history of the Charles River isn’t great. Pollution has run rampant for years. Untreated sewage has a history of being dumped there.

    Diving into the Charles' Dirty History

    The cities of Cambridge and Boston were settled along the Charles River to take advantage of its resources and beauty. Unfortunately, in the last 200 years, humans have used its flowing water as a dumping ground. This has caused major harm, turning the once pristine river into an infamously toxic waterway, and even inspiring the...

  • Shop at Market Basket

    Market Basket is a staple here in New England. It’s a great place to shop but also very crowded. Drake wouldn’t last two seconds.

  • Leave Logan at 5pm to get to his show at 8pm

    We all know traffic in Boston is just AWFUL. But right now, with the Sumner tunner being closed, Drake better leave VERY early to get to the Garden on time.

    Flying into Logan this summer? Here are ways to beat the Sumner Tunnel traffic

    The Sumner Tunnel, an integral part of transportation into downtown Boston and the Boston Logan International Airport, is closed until Aug. 31 for repairs to the tunnel.

  • Walk through Boston wearing Yankees gear

    Wearing anything Yankees in Boston is a no-no.  He will most definitely get some boos and possibly some items thrown at him if he does.

    What will happen if I wear a Yankees T-shirt in Boston?

    Answer (1 of 7): These days, probably nothing. Boston is less insular than it used to be and probably has a fair few fans of other teams- including the Yankees- living within its limits. Also, the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry hasn`t been the same since the Sox finally toppled the Yankees in the 2004 A...

  • Get Starbucks instead of Dunkin'

    America runs on Dunkin’ Drake! ESPECIALLY here in Boston. When grabbing a coffee, make the right choice.

    New England's love for Dunkin' Donuts flows deeper than Seattle's love for Starbucks

    Even though the hometown coffee giant is popular in the U.S. - and particularly in Seattle - data show that New Englanders are more hooked on their local chain than we are on Starbucks.

  • Faking a Boston accent to try and fit in

    We are VERY protective over our Boston accents here. We know when you’re faking it. It doesn’t impress us.

    Who Gets to Fake the Boston Accent?

    The Super Bowl Hyundai ad starring Rachel Dratch, Chris Evans, John Krasinski, along with Big Papi, puts the Boston accent back in the spotlight.

  • Drive a big truck down Storrow Drive

    Drake, DO NOT GET STORROWED! There are numerous height restrictions all along Storrow Drive so BE AWARE.

    A look inside a Boston phenomenon: Storrowing

    Boston's Storrow Drive is now infamous for a certain kind of accident; specifically, the truck-to-bridge collision. Here's everything you need to know.

  • Wear a hoodie during this heat wave

    Drake, we here in Massachusetts love our hoodies and will wear them in any element. We’ll wear shorts during a blizzard. It’s just what we do.

  • Talk badly about Tom Brady

    Drake, Tom Brady may no longer play for the Patriots, but he will always be the GOAT to us fans. If you say one bad thing about him, you may risk injury.

    Tom Brady on Patriots fans still supporting him: 'I have a lot of love for Boston and all of New England'

    Tom Brady's nearly a year removed from his Patriots days, but he still has a great appreciation for New England. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Brady was asked about how it [...]

  • Drive the speed limit
