Estrogen pills eh? Sounds like you hate him more than me. Conquakulations.
We need a haters gon' hate GIF of him dancing on the billboard.
I don't think so, 40 is in the video too, without the beard, and in some of the same scenes as the dude with the beard (notably the party at the end).

the song sucks, but I enjoyed the shimmying on the billboard and down the street. Random, but kind of awesome at the same time.

Edit: And no the dude with the beard isnt 40, he's that dude from Hamilton, longtime friend, forget his name.

Where did he start from? I missed it the 9,000,000 times he said it.
Forrest Hill is the furthest thing from my hood, or a hood, period!
Which makes the song even more horrible. That's like reppin the Upper East Side or something.

Drake and Mac Miller need to do an album.
Nah, this is 40.
Dude with the beard was in the HYFR video as well, don't know his name though.

Drake is terrible
Rather Drake than JD Era.
The video should have consisted of only her. It would have been much better.
Do people really still take musicians personas and stories of their 'struggles' and whatnot seriously? Im not gonna spend money on some fools CD just because he is 'real', so who gives a damn in the end. Buy the music, not the image.
Or in this case don't buy anything. Song is trash juice.
I see the resemblance!
The funny thing is in the song he very briefly even acknowledges that he didn't start from the very bottom, but then changes the topic really quickly.
Say I was never hungry yeah I got it n***a
Fuck outta here with that, dude, what are you five? Envious of what? I like that he reps my city, cool, whatever, but that doesn't mean I'm automatically required to like him as a person or an artist.

I'm game. His first two albums were nice, so I'm ready. Don't really give a shit about being soft. Most of the folks saying that sort of thing are prett...nevermind.

Bottom is relative, is all I can figure. The difference between starving and getting by alright isn't as big as the difference between getting by and $25 mil.
As for the song... Not bad. Not gonna run out and buy the single but I've heard worse.

uhhh ok then.
Now folks, could the bottom not represent his musical career, as a half black jewish child actor from canada who over the past few years has risen to the top of hip hop fame? It's hard to imagine someone with those credentials being as big as he is now.

I don't go out of my way to listen to "only the realest MC's" but yeah it does bother me that dipshits like Drake talk about how he "started from the bottom" when he really didn't. People like him are emulating people who actually did live in the ghetto and work their way up and it's fucking embarrassing.
There's a difference in Eminem's "persona" where hes rapping about killing people and Drake's "persona" where he acts like he had it rough and worked his way through it

Whatever, I thought that beat was nice.
Also, every rap video needs a Shopper's Drug Mart scene from now on.
