In addition to performing hits "One Dance" and "Hype" from his new album Views, Drake debuted a new, totally unofficial yet very on-brand track on Saturday Night Live: "More than a Meme."

The Toronto rapper and one-man meme machine used his introduction to tell the world he sees all those memes, and every once in a while, it kind of hurts.

"I'm not just a picture, I have feelings too/ Yeah, how would it feel if it happened to you?" he sang, as memes like Tiny Drake and ET Drake popped up on screen. It was like that time he filled his OVO Festival stage with Meek Mill memes, but this time, the joke was on him. 


Drake then announced "Rihanna's in the house." Unfortunately, the singer and regular Drake collaborator did not show up. It was just Drake in a black wig, launching into "More Than a Meme" part two, which was really just "Work" reworked. 

It would have been a lot better if she'd actually shown up, but we'll take it.

Stay tuned for the full, hilarious clip.
