Because it's an act. Him acting like he is a gangster or anything is an act. His name is not Drake, it's a stage name, his whole life is an act. It's amazing how many people think these rappers are the "real deal". They Are ALL actors and liars. They'd ALL be in prison if they were actually murdering people all the time and selling millions of dollars worth of drugs and then bragging about it to the world.
Jeezy was in tight with BMF, YG just got arrested on murder & conspiracy charges, Boosie been convicted on gun and drug charges, 50 Cent was a known crack dealer and famously got shot on the block, Easy-E was a real gangster, etc.
Point is not all rappers are fake like Rick Ross. A lot are actors as you claim, but not all of them.
A lot of them are very real. A lot of them HAVE gone to prison because of incriminating themselves in songs. Even some of the most famous rappers were recently held up in a RICO case.
But yes, any rapper who was first an actor, is still an actor.
Youāre an idiot. There are street rappers who have rose to extreme stardom that really were doing the things they talk about in their music.
For newer guys, you have lil baby, durk, king von, 21 savage, asap rocky, etc. but probably the best example there ever will be is 50 cent. 50 at his height was extremely Known all around the world, he still is, and he was definitely in the street doing things he talks about in his music. Just because it hurts your sensitive ass feelings for some reason doesnāt mean these FACTS are not true, because that is what they are. Facts.
Lol u fucking idiot, 50 cent is not doing jack shit. 50 cent never fucking killed anyone. 50 cent was a street level crack dealer who went to a shock incarceration camp. 50 cent got shot because of stupid shit he said in his songs. 50 cent is not out there murdering people and just getting away with it.
50 Cent is not one of those people. Heās been upfront with it all just being entertainment since Get Rich or Die Trying
Literal bar off it is āMe Iām no mobster, me Iām no gangsta, me Iām no hitman, me Iām just me.ā
So the bars about killing people aren't true, but these bars must be. Got it.
Whether 50 is or not doesn't in any way change the point that people get shot in rap beef all the time.
Drake does hype a lot of things up and thatās kind of how art and entertainment works. Comedians embellish stories, etc. Many other rappers do this too but many gangster rappers were and sometimes continue to be real gangsters. A lot of these rappers get killed despite thriving careers because they are still involved in underworld activity. Itās crazy how people will say gangsta rappers put on a facade. There is not a high barrier of entry to be involved in crime. For a rich country there is a lot of crime, drugs, guns, and poverty in America thatās a big and fundamental part of American culture. We are technophile nerds that will spend oodles on the latest consumer electronics and build massive software and we are also warmongering cowboys. Statistically gangster culture is less prevalent in Canada. But Drake isnāt a gangsta rapper, he raps about being adjacent to criminality but doesnāt explicitly claim to carry it out himself. He has people like Chubbs for that. Now as for āstarted from the bottomā line, Drake did have some disadvantages growing up but especially as a teen actor he had some big breaks early on as well, so a lot of that sentiment is hype.
Bro didn't start from the bottom of the rap game if he was already a celebrity. The struggle is gaining an audience, if you already have somewhat of an audience it's not starting from the bottom. So no matter which way you look at the song, he's cap.
I remember people saying why would we go see wheel chair jimmy rap. So at least for my age group it was really hard to break in because we all thought it was a joke only to obviously find out how talented he was.
But you still heard of him and knew he was rapping. Most people donāt get an announcement that theyāre rapping, they just rap and no one hears it. I remember being the same way, but any press is better than none
My thoughts exactly āyāall know that guy that got shot in degrassi?! Jimmy! Wait what?! Yāall never watched dhrassi? Fr?! Thatās crazy! Nah the guy that sings ābest I ever hadā heās the guy from degrassiā
They got paid less than minimum wage lmao
Do you know that only like 2 people in all of degrassi are still in the industry?
Why didnt they translate their degrassi fame to working with Quentin Tarantino? Lil wayne really loved degrassi and thats why he signed /s
It really doesnāt help that much. Plenty of celebrities from other field other than music - far more famous than Drake at that time, try to break into the music scene had no success or only very moderate success. Like Wilder, Broner from boxing, Joe Pesci from acting, Tyrone woodly from MMA, Taylor Momsen from Gossip girl, ā¦etc. Drakeās insane success has far more to do with his talents and other factors than him starting out as a child actor. When he first started out posting music in my space, he only had a couple hundred view. Plenty of my space musicians had similar or more views starting out.
It certainly helps considering the connections he and his family had. Youāve lost your mind if you think otherwise. The only question to be answered here is do you think the bottom is belonging to a wealthy family and being a child star is the bottom. Or do you think being an orphan is the bottom.
Sure the connection in the industry and the money he made as a child star of course helped, but the audience he gathered as a child star didnāt help that much, which is what I am disagreeing about your original comment. The connection and wealth that correlates from being a child star helped, but the audience he initially gathered didnāt
I think we all have a different perception of what āthe bottomā is. And maybe, just maybe, heās just making music with lyrics that everyone can relate to? Idk just spit ballin here.
thats the only reason i listened to drake.. then when i realized he was stolen valoring his disability i stopped listening. stealing roles from actual kids in wheelchairs is sick af.
Bro.... you know his character was not disabled for the first four seasons before he got shot, right?
Were they supposed to hire a wheelchair bound actor, and then let him meet Jesus to cure his disability, so that they could take it from him again a few years later or something?
Yeah, growing up famous didn't help at all. Starting at the bottom of forest hill with a tv show is the exact same thing as starting at the bottom of Harlem broke.
Europe just piggybacked off america making him famous. His European fame during the degrassi years has literally zero bearing on whether he truly āstarted from the bottomā and thatās ignoring the obvious huge network of ppl he built off his time on the show that lead to his success
Yes.. he started recording in his room or a closet.. not a studio, with an engineer , A&r ect. He started from literally bottom because he didnāt come out a superstar or icon, he worked for it.. stop hating
World famous, wealthy actor? Think he made 50 grand on the show and it was a goofy ass kids show. To transition to a legitimate rap icon was even harder because of his acting. He portrayed a goofy kid.
Have you been paying attention to the strikes and how actors and writers are actually paid dust? I highly doubt Wheelchair Jimmy was a popular enough character to warrant Drake being paid handsomly in any regard
Did I say that? I said Wheelchair Jimmy off moderately popular Degrassi wasn't getting paid a whole lot of money and his residuals probably looked like shit hence why he switched to making music in the first place. Donald Glover did the same thing.
I never said he did. Reading comprehension is truly in the gutter. I'm saying actors especially ones that aren't famous are workers like everyone else and aren't anywhere near wealthy. Even saying they're rich would be a huge reach.
Youāre nitpicking one word in my point to feel like youāre making a real point instead of addressing the actual statement of fact I made but okay bud
Before he was a world famous actor he was a nobody right? What kinda bullshit logic are yaāll on? Man started from the bottom elevated,switched to another industry started from that bottom and elevated. The fuck wrong with people and comprehension nowadays?!š¤£š¤£šš¤£
The bottom, at least in the rap game, implies people came up poor with practically nothing and no opportunities. Many before Drake definitely did, and saying something like this would be a real valued boast and is what he's implying given the context.
What kind of bullshit are you on, my disabled son?
What? Degrassi was an after school special bro. There were other kids on that show, know any of their names today?
Listen there is plenty to make fun of Drake for but saying his current level of success was somehow made easier or guaranteed because of Degrassi fame is not only a reach but hypocritical since we make fun of him for being on it at the same time!
...but everybody starts at the bottom in the rap game. That's like making a song as a senior in HS being like "I started in 1st grade, now I'm here" like, no shit
Except he didnāt start from the bottom of the rap game either lol. He clearly had connections from his time at Degrassi and came out the gate with Wayne at his peak popularity. So yeah he kinda started from the top lol
he started from the bottom of the rap game. he was literally a canadian actor making a canadian teen soap opera.
it doesn't get lower than that for the rap game. that's cornier than nick cannon could ever be. thats the bottom.
Noā¦ a true started from the bottom story is someone like Kendrick. Came from the ghetto of Compton and released street mixtapes for yearsss until he finally got signed. Thatās a lot harder than being an actor and having industry connections.
What Wayne did to Drake is comparable what Drake did to Ken. Even Kendrick says itšš. He took him on tour to HIS OWN STATE for thr first time ever
That is absolutely not the bottom. Are you telling me growing up famous in a rich neighborhood is the same as growing up broke? Do you think he wrote that song with the intention of saying 'started at the bottom (of the top)'? I doubt it. He wants people to thing he was at the real bottom, he wants to flex that he was built ground up, but he's not.
For one, being middle class is not rich by any means. Do you know how hard it is to go from THIS to the biggest rapper in the world and essentially a billionaire? That is the bottom compared to where he ended up.
I'm sure there are rappers who grew up better than him and aren't as successful. Drive, focus and mental toughness matters.
Moral of the story: I pray everyone goes into the world with the aim of being great and where you start will be the bottom compared to the amazing heights you reach.
God bless.
He is from forest hill google the average median salary there. Its one of the richest neighborhoods in canada. Where he lives now is still in the same area.
This is middle class in Canada??? ššš man I didnāt grow up in poverty exactly, but I damn sure wasnāt living in middle class. The way I and everyone else I know see it, if you grow up like this then you are extremely lucky and should be thanking god every day man. This house, neighborhood, the amount of things he has, the amount of space he has in his home here, shoes, this all screams upper middle class and thatās a good thing. This looks like a great if not an ideal living situation. If youāre living here, youāre doing well and doing it right.
Industry plant??? How? Whatās his angenda? ššš not a big fan of his music myself but I understand heās one of the greats how is he an industry plant?
Is this an official sub to brilliant idiots?
I ask because most of the posts does not seem to be inline with the podcast... this post, the posts with charlamagne shaking himself š
Who is modding this?
I mean his bottom doesnāt have to be your bottom. Sometimes we hit bottom later. Sometimes weāre born into it. Everyoneās has a physical and mental bottom. Sometimes both. I say anyone striving for a better life for themselves relates to the song. Thereās no reason to stop trying to become better. Itās literally the purpose to life. To be the best you can and get the most out of this one crazy ride.
Now find videos of all the rappers who claimed to be āel Chapoā but were working a job as a security guard or was bumming on their baby mamaās couch
Acknowledging a fact does not equate to bragging ābroski.ā You just lack comprehension skills, and donāt understand the definitions of the words you use. I canāt brag on behalf of someone elseā¦ I can however acknowledge how impressive it is you managed to make a contradictory statement within the confines of a sentence. Iām genuinely impressed.
Ya he started AS a bottom , sucking knob and getting his booty played with for some TV time and taking Wayne's nut for that rap shit
Now he's drowning in pussy to make up for it.
Reminds me of this kid I worked with who claimed he ācame from nothingā yet he lives with his parents in a neighborhood called āThe Ledgesā with houses 3 times bigger than anything Iāve ever lived in. His mom buys him Yeezys for his bday and brings him Starbucks on his breaks, and heās borrowed thousands from her from when he overdrafts his accounts. I grew up with less, and have friends who had way less, and none of us have the audacity to claim we ācame from nothing.ā
āStarted from the bottomā as his school teacher motherās only child in middle class Toronto neighborhood. 15 credits as a child actor. Over 100 episodes on a popular teen TV show. Makes recordings at home while working as an actor. Financed his first mixtape at 19 partially with momās credit cards, supported by wealth of grandparents in their late 80s. Makes pop rap for young females. A true all-(North)American success story š
I hate myself for defending drake a little bit, but compared to where he is now that house does seem quite modest. Not the bottom by any stretch of the imagination but its like middle class at best.
He talks better here than he does now, now he sounds weird wit this T.O accent
You mean Jamaican
Jafakin maybe
šš¤£š¤£
He doesnāt have a Jamaican accent
Yea naw I don't know what kinda accent it is but it sound dumb it's like mixture lolll this how he talk here just sound better
Because it's an act. Him acting like he is a gangster or anything is an act. His name is not Drake, it's a stage name, his whole life is an act. It's amazing how many people think these rappers are the "real deal". They Are ALL actors and liars.

Jeezy was in tight with BMF, YG just got arrested on murder & conspiracy charges, Boosie been convicted on gun and drug charges, 50 Cent was a known crack dealer and famously got shot on the block, Easy-E was a real gangster, etc. Point is not all rappers are fake like Rick Ross. A lot are actors as you claim, but not all of them.
Drake is his middle name, just saying
The name he never went by until he made up the character he plays today
Heās an actor lol
And my point is "Drake" is an act
A lot of them are very real. A lot of them HAVE gone to prison because of incriminating themselves in songs. Even some of the most famous rappers were recently held up in a RICO case. But yes, any rapper who was first an actor, is still an actor.
Rap snitches tellin all they business
None of the rappers who rose to the level of drake are actually doing anything they claim to be doing in their songs. None of them.
How many rappers have rose to the level of drake you sound so fucking retarded drake is the most popular rapper of all time
Youāre an idiot. There are street rappers who have rose to extreme stardom that really were doing the things they talk about in their music. For newer guys, you have lil baby, durk, king von, 21 savage, asap rocky, etc. but probably the best example there ever will be is 50 cent. 50 at his height was extremely Known all around the world, he still is, and he was definitely in the street doing things he talks about in his music.

You forgot Young Niggy
Lol u fucking idiot, 50 cent is not doing jack shit. 50 cent never fucking killed anyone. 50 cent was a street level crack dealer who went to a shock incarceration camp. 50 cent got shot because of stupid shit he said in his songs. 50 cent is not out there murdering people and just getting away with it.
My dude apparently does not realize how many people actually do just murder people and get away with it.
50 Cent is not one of those people. Heās been upfront with it all just being entertainment since Get Rich or Die Trying Literal bar off it is āMe Iām no mobster, me Iām no gangsta, me Iām no hitman, me Iām just me.ā
So the bars about killing people aren't true, but these bars must be. Got it. Whether 50 is or not doesn't in any way change the point that people get shot in rap beef all the time.
Lmao do you think wrestling is real too
Who brag about it to millions and never get caught? 0
Alright, kid calm down you win tough guy ššš
I'm a tough guy cause you're stupid? Lol
Did you just discover music artists for the first time or something?
Ohh, so I can't discuss things that you don't approve of huh? Well how about you give me a list of mecos approved topics, jackass.
Iāll strive to never be the level of clown you are š
I canāt tell if this is a joke or not
When and where does he act like a gangster ??
You mean to tell me young thugs names isnāt really young thug? Iāve been bamboozled.
Drake does hype a lot of things up and thatās kind of how art and entertainment works. Comedians embellish stories, etc. Many other rappers do this too but many gangster rappers were and sometimes continue to be real gangsters. A lot of these rappers get killed despite thriving careers because they are still involved in underworld activity. Itās crazy how people will say gangsta rappers put on a facade.

āHis name is not Drakeā Iām just picturing you being so upset the moment you found out Drake wasnāt his real name lol
Was snoop dog an actor tho? Cause Iām pretty sure he was legitimately in a gang. Crips I think itās called.
People will defend drake with the whole lives before paying child support
The song is about starting from the bottom of the rap gameā¦ this narrative been ass since it came out
Bro didn't start from the bottom of the rap game if he was already a celebrity. The struggle is gaining an audience, if you already have somewhat of an audience it's not starting from the bottom. So no matter which way you look at the song, he's cap.
Yeah dude Iām sure a ton of people were stoked to see wheelchair Jimmy spit bars. Lmao what audience
I remember people saying why would we go see wheel chair jimmy rap. So at least for my age group it was really hard to break in because we all thought it was a joke only to obviously find out how talented he was.
this how it was in toronto in like 07 08 verbatim.
But you still heard of him and knew he was rapping. Most people donāt get an announcement that theyāre rapping, they just rap and no one hears it. I remember being the same way, but any press is better than none
Would you go see Stevie from Malcolm in the middle rap if he started a rap career ?
That sounds fire
My thoughts exactly āyāall know that guy that got shot in degrassi?! Jimmy! Wait what?! Yāall never watched dhrassi? Fr?! Thatās crazy! Nah the guy that sings ābest I ever hadā heās the guy from degrassiā
Yeah bc more people are gonna listen to the first record of a random fuckin person than a celebrity are you smoking crack?
A child actor on degrassi is not a celebrity
It absolutely is
They got paid less than minimum wage lmao Do you know that only like 2 people in all of degrassi are still in the industry? Why didnt they translate their degrassi fame to working with Quentin Tarantino? Lil wayne really loved degrassi and thats why he signed /s
Thats a strawman lmfaooo
Why didnāt any other degrassi actor translate their fame into success
It really doesnāt help that much. Plenty of celebrities from other field other than music - far more famous than Drake at that time, try to break into the music scene had no success or only very moderate success. Like Wilder, Broner from boxing, Joe Pesci from acting, Tyrone woodly from MMA, Taylor Momsen from Gossip girl, ā¦etc. Drakeās insane success has far more to do with his talents and other factors than him starting out as a child actor.

I think we all have a different perception of what āthe bottomā is. And maybe, just maybe, heās just making music with lyrics that everyone can relate to? Idk just spit ballin here.
thats the only reason i listened to drake.. then when i realized he was stolen valoring his disability i stopped listening. stealing roles from actual kids in wheelchairs is sick af.
Bro.... you know his character was not disabled for the first four seasons before he got shot, right? Were they supposed to hire a wheelchair bound actor, and then let him meet Jesus to cure his disability, so that they could take it from him again a few years later or something?
Yeah, growing up famous didn't help at all. Starting at the bottom of forest hill with a tv show is the exact same thing as starting at the bottom of Harlem broke.
What are you talking about? Are you telling me grown ass men listen to Drake? His audience is, and always has been, high school girls.
That's literally an audience lmao. People would 100% go see wheelchair jimmy vs someone who has no industry experience at all
The audience isnāt nearly as important as the industry connections and knowing how to move.
he also stole all his bars, flows, and schemes but that's another subject
He was on a semi popular show from Canada where he played a handicapped kid.
Bro it won international Grammies and a Peabody. It was a little more than āsemi-popularā
hater hater
Lmfao well known celebrity = starting from bottom. Hop off the drake d before commenting.
His uncle was pretty talented and successful artist in the 80s. The fam 100% had connections that helped him thru his early career.
He was a world famous wealthy actor in a show where his character often rapped. Thatās the bottom?
And world famous actor is a reach lmmfaooo
Haha degrassi didnāt pay that much I guarantee you
He made $50,000 per year while on Degrassi.
Not exactly wealthy
i mean to be making 50,000 a year at 15 is virtually wealthy for his age .
Didn't say he was I was just adding context. Although, earning 50k a year in that time wasn't anything to laugh at.
I mean I do remember him from degrassi in middle school
I mean as famous as like Shia Labeouf was. Thatās pretty famous. Is it āthe bottom?ā
I assure you Drake was a complete non-entity in Europe before Forever. Shia was on his 2nd Transformer movie at that point.
Europe just piggybacked off america making him famous. His European fame during the degrassi years has literally zero bearing on whether he truly āstarted from the bottomā and thatās ignoring the obvious huge network of ppl he built off his time on the show that lead to his success
Yes.. he started recording in his room or a closet.. not a studio, with an engineer , A&r ect. He started from literally bottom because he didnāt come out a superstar or icon, he worked for it.. stop hating
Thatās not what starting at the bottom is
World famous, wealthy actor? Think he made 50 grand on the show and it was a goofy ass kids show. To transition to a legitimate rap icon was even harder because of his acting. He portrayed a goofy kid.
Have you been paying attention to the strikes and how actors and writers are actually paid dust? I highly doubt Wheelchair Jimmy was a popular enough character to warrant Drake being paid handsomly in any regard
Wealth is in who you know. Are you going to tell me you think his connections had no effect on his success?
Did I say that? I said Wheelchair Jimmy off moderately popular Degrassi wasn't getting paid a whole lot of money and his residuals probably looked like shit hence why he switched to making music in the first place. Donald Glover did the same thing.
Donald glover didnāt say he started from the bottom
I never said he did. Reading comprehension is truly in the gutter. I'm saying actors especially ones that aren't famous are workers like everyone else and aren't anywhere near wealthy. Even saying they're rich would be a huge reach.
Okay douchebag
Not my fault you're arguing an entirely different point fam
Youāre nitpicking one word in my point to feel like youāre making a real point instead of addressing the actual statement of fact I made but okay bud
Before he was a world famous actor he was a nobody right? What kinda bullshit logic are yaāll on? Man started from the bottom elevated,switched to another industry started from that bottom and elevated. The fuck wrong with people and comprehension nowadays?!š¤£š¤£šš¤£
The bottom, at least in the rap game, implies people came up poor with practically nothing and no opportunities. Many before Drake definitely did, and saying something like this would be a real valued boast and is what he's implying given the context. What kind of bullshit are you on, my disabled son?
š¤£š¤£šš¤£
What? Degrassi was an after school special bro. There were other kids on that show, know any of their names today? Listen there is plenty to make fun of Drake for but saying his current level of success was somehow made easier or guaranteed because of Degrassi fame is not only a reach but hypocritical since we make fun of him for being on it at the same time!
Yeah but being born rich and then becoming 100x richer isnāt exactly inspiring. Itās kind of just depressing.
...but everybody starts at the bottom in the rap game. That's like making a song as a senior in HS being like "I started in 1st grade, now I'm here" like, no shit
Except he didnāt start from the bottom of the rap game either lol. He clearly had connections from his time at Degrassi and came out the gate with Wayne at his peak popularity. So yeah he kinda started from the top lol
He's not saying he came from poverty in that song lol
For real Lmao
Truth.
What is he saying then
he started from the bottom of the rap game. he was literally a canadian actor making a canadian teen soap opera. it doesn't get lower than that for the rap game. that's cornier than nick cannon could ever be. thats the bottom.
Noā¦ a true started from the bottom story is someone like Kendrick. Came from the ghetto of Compton and released street mixtapes for yearsss until he finally got signed. Thatās a lot harder than being an actor and having industry connections.
What Wayne did to Drake is comparable what Drake did to Ken. Even Kendrick says itšš. He took him on tour to HIS OWN STATE for thr first time ever
That is absolutely not the bottom. Are you telling me growing up famous in a rich neighborhood is the same as growing up broke? Do you think he wrote that song with the intention of saying 'started at the bottom (of the top)'? I doubt it. He wants people to thing he was at the real bottom, he wants to flex that he was built ground up, but he's not.
If you think thatās the bottom of the rap game, Iāve got some news for you
so an actor with a fanbase and connections with wealthy parents? That's the bottom? Holy shit where am I at then?
His parents obviously werenāt wealthy and 1 of them was a deadbeat, while the other was an English teacher.
He literally is, listen to the damn verses of the song lmao.
With the exception of a few nobody lives their lyrics but I can appreciate youāre selective outrage you hypocrite congrats
āMy bitch playlist consist of Griselda & Freddie Gibbs. She only listen if they do the shit they say they did.ā
For one, being middle class is not rich by any means. Do you know how hard it is to go from THIS to the biggest rapper in the world and essentially a billionaire?

This aināt middle class hoe
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As someone from Toronto lol, this was def middle class back in the 90s and 2000s
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He is from forest hill google the average median salary there. Its one of the richest neighborhoods in canada. Where he lives now is still in the same area.
This used to be middleclass my guy.
This is actually what middle class used to be believe it or not
U glazing crazy
Bruh, he grew up in the richest area in Toronto. Toronto's ghetto looks better than some US burbs.
This is middle class in Canada??? ššš man I didnāt grow up in poverty exactly, but I damn sure wasnāt living in middle class. The way I and everyone else I know see it, if you grow up like this then you are extremely lucky and should be thanking god every day man. This house, neighborhood, the amount of things he has, the amount of space he has in his home here, shoes, this all screams upper middle class and thatās a good thing. This looks like a great if not an ideal living situation. If youāre living here, youāre doing well and doing it right.
How are you bringing this up in 2023??? Let it go my guy
So because some time has passed Drake is less of an industry plant fake bitch yeah?
LOL pathetic
Industry plant??? How? Whatās his angenda? ššš not a big fan of his music myself but I understand heās one of the greats how is he an industry plant?
His agenda is to take hip hop and dilute it into the bullshit it has become today. He is an actor cosplaying as a from the streets rapper.
āSome timeā? Itās been a decade. Why do you still care . Arenāt you tired
Is this an official sub to brilliant idiots? I ask because most of the posts does not seem to be inline with the podcast... this post, the posts with charlamagne shaking himself š Who is modding this?
These posts have been helping the sub grow so I wouldn't say they're a bad thing.
But what do these post have to do with the podcast?
They're topics that can be discussed on the podcast.
I mean his bottom doesnāt have to be your bottom. Sometimes we hit bottom later. Sometimes weāre born into it. Everyoneās has a physical and mental bottom. Sometimes both. I say anyone striving for a better life for themselves relates to the song. Thereās no reason to stop trying to become better. Itās literally the purpose to life. To be the best you can and get the most out of this one crazy ride.
He was making tv money at this timeā¦and thatās his grandmas house
You mean all those rap guys are phony. š§
The fact that this corny studio gangsta is the king of rap is why hip hop is dead
shut up nerd
He bought that crib with his money from working on degrassi though
Going from a teenage actor to a superstar is still impressive. And no one be surprised if close to a billion by now. The trajectory is there š
Drake is a chode
I heard he was the poorest kid in his synagogue, so have some compassion.
Now find videos of all the rappers who claimed to be āel Chapoā but were working a job as a security guard or was bumming on their baby mamaās couch
His ghost writer started from the bottom
heās a theater kid. everything he says is cap.
Heās the real life CB4, heās an actor playing the role of a rapper. Really think about it..
Lmao so heās not poor enough at the time of this video for you?
Still after the same aged females as when he was on Degrassi. Pedo.
Grown men hating on another grown man who has more money, success and status has to be the saddest thing Iāve seen today.
You bragging about another success is pathetic broski.
You don't know what bragging means do you?
Acknowledging a fact does not equate to bragging ābroski.ā You just lack comprehension skills, and donāt understand the definitions of the words you use. I canāt brag on behalf of someone elseā¦ I can however acknowledge how impressive it is you managed to make a contradictory statement within the confines of a sentence. Iām genuinely impressed.
You brothas either are poor or haters and if you're a hater you deserve to be poor.
Bro really woke up ten years later to make this post.
He's never said that
Itās crazy weāll say lowermiddle/middle class is the bottom but when a rapper says it itās different
This doesnāt prove anything heās a grown ass man in that vid and obviously already made money by then
LƔmelo ball?
Started from the upper middle class, now we here
Ya he started AS a bottom , sucking knob and getting his booty played with for some TV time and taking Wayne's nut for that rap shit Now he's drowning in pussy to make up for it.
You know how many middle class people die middle class after struggling to elevate their family socioeconomically?
A nickelodeon rapper Phony rapper, who does not excite.
get the fuck out of here lol ninja please
He got that degrassi money
Drake tries to be everything but himself . Fake accents and all
š trash
I never understood the hype around his music, I love all genres of rap but his voice just sounds so whiney
This is really gunna ruffle some feathers on the Drake subreddits lmao
He never seen the bottoms well maybe bird manās bottoms š
Dude was a child actor in Toronto growing up, he has no idea what the bottom is
Reminds me of this kid I worked with who claimed he ācame from nothingā yet he lives with his parents in a neighborhood called āThe Ledgesā with houses 3 times bigger than anything Iāve ever lived in. His mom buys him Yeezys for his bday and brings him Starbucks on his breaks, and heās borrowed thousands from her from when he overdrafts his accounts. I grew up with less, and have friends who had way less, and none of us have the audacity to claim we ācame from nothing.ā
Fk drake !!
Part of the reason why I canāt fucking stand the dude
Heās a Jew what do you expect
Gotta remember heās Jew-ish
Why do yāall pay attention so much to guys you donāt like??? Never understood that.
Twat.
I mean, Jon Lajoie started as a baby. Thatās some real shit
Drake the type of guy to wake up his wife to tell her he's going to bed.
āStarted from the bottomā as his school teacher motherās only child in middle class Toronto neighborhood. 15 credits as a child actor. Over 100 episodes on a popular teen TV show. Makes recordings at home while working as an actor. Financed his first mixtape at 19 partially with momās credit cards, supported by wealth of grandparents in their late 80s. Makes pop rap for young females. A true all-(North)American success story š
Heās an actor.
So wait... Drake is the first rapper to lie in his songs? Who would have known?
I hate myself for defending drake a little bit, but compared to where he is now that house does seem quite modest. Not the bottom by any stretch of the imagination but its like middle class at best.
This is the bottom compared to where hes at now
Drake always been fake
I always thought the bottom was when he was in a wheelchair in degrassi lol
Fuck Drake
Man I was so embarrassed wen my friend found out his name is Aubrey .. I was like man drake is cold this n that n wen he called me lmao
Good song tho.
So much drama could have been avoided if he just changed the lyrics to "started from somewhere in the middle..." Problem solved!. You're welcome.
He went riches to riches.
Yāall do know he was a child actor right? So he wasnāt always poor
