Flanked by two of the largest, angriest-looking bodyguards we've ever seen ... Drake went out in D.C. today ... looking safer than usual.
With their baby-sized black tshirts stretched to the brink, Drake's hired muscle was constantly on the lookout for danger while Drake hit up some local shops.
At one point, a cameraman asked the rapper if he was concerned about his image following the Chris Brown brawl at W.i.P. nightclub in NYC ... to which Drake casually replied, "My image [is] good, man." 
As we previously reported, Drake went clubbin' last night and no one messed with him -- and now that we've seen his security team, it's pretty obvious why.

I really don't give a ****e about this Drake dude...my thing is what Harvey said about big dudes being slow...You can be big and quick or you can be small and pack a punch, and it's funny people don't realize that kind of stuff
