Like really, how do you put out a song called "Started From The Bottom" acting like you went through all this poverty and hardship before your career took off when you started out as a semi-successful child actor? It's fake as fuck, the guy was so obviously manufactured by the record label.

At least Rick Ross was interesting.

I don't really want to tell someone else's life story, but from the sounds of it, you've taken one aspect of Drake's past (his part in Degrassi) and used it to explain something you have no knowledge of (his ascent into the music industry).

 

[Ether_Snake]

Looks like a Sasha Baron Cohen character.

Living at my mama's house we'd argue every month, nigga I was making tuna on my own.

that's hilarious

 

[GamerJM]

He's the softest rapper in the game right now.

No matter how hard he tries to act "tough", he just looks silly and non-threatening. I remember that one video where he's decked out in a sweatsuit with black gloves trying to look all tough and shit yet it looked more like he was ready to run around the track.

I think it's funny that he's the one behind the "YOLO" phase considering he's the major rapper who probably follows that philosophy the least.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

People don't give a shit about how 'real' rappers are.

Only people who do don't purchase albums.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I thought Drake's whole persona was that he's not a thug and made a hit album without a record deal.

It's not like anyone actually watched Degrassi.

Don't make him catch a body over his tuna sandwich

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

 

[methodman]

Drake will have the best album this year.

 

[arab]

drake the type of rapper that meets a person then immediately adds them on facebook

 

[DominoKid]

Drake be in them streets and UOENO.

 

[Kanyon]

I thought that was Drake with LeBron?!

 

[malfcn]

I saw the "Started from the Bottom" video for the first time a few days ago (late night on MTV).

That part when he was dancing next to the car was one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever seen.

Everytime he dances, I think this.

Chick checking out was hot though.

 

[victreeb3l]

despite his millions he still dresses like a bum

whatever. im still a big fan of his music. the cover for NWTS is pretty dope

 

[Dereck]

Drake the type of dude to order a large popcorn and finish the whole damn thing before the previews even start

 

[Avixph]

I hate his face.

He has this weird caveman look to him.

His parents should have really thought about what the kid would look like before they had him.

He just looks so weird.

Wow.

I know Drake reps UK whenever he's not up LeBron's butt.

Instead Duke gets this guy

Is that a dress or a Hip-hop Shirt™?

 

[arab]

drake the type of rapper to have a nut allergy

 

[Avixph]

Drake the type of dude to order a large popcorn and finish the whole damn thing before the previews even start

What's wrong with that?

 

[Eidan]

Someone help me out. What does "real" mean?

 

[Dereck]

What's wrong with that?

Nothing, he's just that type of dude.

 

[Avixph]

Someone help me out. What does "real" mean?

And is there a reason why someone would consider Drake to be the fakest? I mean boasting and bravado seem to be common in the genre.

 

[FreddieQuell]

And he still hasn't put out a control response. Softer than a melted marshmallow.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

lmao the dude on the left looks like he's done so much fucked up shit and Drake just looks like "wtf am I doing here"

LMAO

Wow.

is this real life?

In "started from the bottom" where exactly does he claim he went through poverty and hardships before his career took off? Within the 1st 3 bars, he says that he was living with his mom and arguing with her. People really just listen to the chorus and say "he aint come from the gutter! this nigga fake"

Pretty sure this is Drake's NeoGAF account.

 

[kurbaan]

Drake the type of nigga to have a kid... then raise it.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

YMCMB is a label comprised of 4-ply double quilted fuck boys.

Drake's the type of guy who reblogs "I love when boys..." quotes on Tumblr to show girls he's a nice guy.

 

[Kwixotik]

He really does look like a thumb with eyebrows

Also, he's my second least favorite rapper behind Big Sean

 

[Eidan]

Pretty sure this is Drake's NeoGAF account.

Hahaha, no. Just curious why his authenticity seems so much more important than others'.

 

[Avixph]

is this real life?

Oh yes.

Very Real.

 

[Acorn]

Hahaha, no. Just curious why his authenticity seems so much more important than others'.

It isn't really, its always been a theme in the rap industry despite the fact every rapper 'lies' because its storytelling. He is the just the biggest fish in the pond right now so its more visible.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Yes.

Very Real.

I just thought you didn't know what a basketball jersey looked like.

 

[Avixph]

I just thought you didn't know what a basketball jersey looked like.

Oh I see.

 

[solomon]

Drake is the best or 2nd best behind Kendrick depending on personal opinion. Name a bad verse he's dropped in 2 years.

HAAA!

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Theme of this thread: I'd like to thank God almighty for giving Drake so much and me so little.

 

[highrider]

He's feeling the need to be tough which a lot of young men do. But yeah, he's about as threatening as vanilla ice and his crew in cool as ice.

 

[Alrus]

Oh yes.

Very Real.

A $120 plain white T shirt... That's actually quite amazing.

 

[uberluigi]

Every current mainstream rapper is fake, there I said it.

 

[Snuggles]

Honestly, I don't care if someone is real or not. Image doesn't matter much to me in music. Drake has some solid tunes, I can enjoy them without thinking about Degrassi or whatever.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Oh yes.

Very Real.

That shirt better stay white for that price

welcome to mainstream hip hop, hell probably even mainstream modern music.

Dude didn't even need a wheelchair

What a fake
