Drake’s struggle as an up and coming rapper was “scraping” together 5K. He trying too hard?

[hex]

5k a month at 21 years old, just for a car, is the middle

That's what I'm saying.

If they were "scraping together" $5k at 21 for something as frivolous as stunting....then he was obviously making more than that a month. Which would put him well beyond middle class.

Why y’all acting like mans didn’t grind his way to the top?

 

[FukyourFort]

I made another point though. And no one wants to address it.

and that point makes no sense. there's people who struggled in other ways than hurting their community who would look at drake sideways for the comment.

you know that though

Big RBK from Sohh vibes, boi rented a Phantom for a Fabolous appearance

but I’m not talking about those rappers. Read the post I responded to. It was specifically about selling drugs. Those are the rappers I’m talking about. The hustlers who were on the block selling poison. That shyt is celebrated.

$60,000 is a lot for a teenager lol

He was 21, on TV, MTV and made songs with big rappers.

He’s talking from the perspective from a rap star you dudes are talking from the perspective of a regular guy studying communication

60k canadian is like $47k btw

but yes i know and agree, all i pointed out was i took it as a "fake it till u make it" (as opposed to i was in poverty - which obviously was not the case lol) post, its not that deep

These fools think a man would use renting a rolls as an example of being stuck in poverty. Rather than it being an example of him acting like was a big rap star when he wasn’t


Twitter trolls will twist anything to make a joke and their dumb followers will think it’s serious shyt or some knowledge being kicked

He wasn't broke on his ass living in the hood, selling drugs to get by. He did however have to start from the bottom, he's not a plant and didn't have any handouts.

Fake it until you make it.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I get it. Can we all agree though he started somewhere in the middle.

No because 10000 a month to spend on cars isn't the middle

 

[Jekyll]

Eh I see what people are saying but he was dropping music and popping up in videos with Trey Songz in 07. I don’t think he was saying he was starving.

At that point he was probably where alot of the coli 6 figure breh club is

"Mama never used to cook much" face ass.

 

[duckbutta]

if im not mistaken, the degrassi salary was like ~60k/a year, thats a pretty median 9-5 type annual salary (45-60k)

if he had other bills and was the sole income between him and his moms, then 5k for a luxury rental for the sake of image may come at the expense of sacrificing other things

i dont think this implies he was living in poverty lol, just that this is a "fake it till u make it" type origin story for the lifestyle

WHAT

Drake was going to private school but was also the "sole income between him and his moms"

 

[T'Challa Trillmonger]

WHAT

Drake was going to private school but was also the "sole income between him and his moms"

i said if in that sentence bruh, i dont know the background story like that (the private school stuff), just based on loose things i read over the yrs

 

[seemorecizzy]

Drake was already writing for Dre in 07. He was in the industry already

dre didnt take any of the music drake "wrote"
he more then likely used his connections to get into that situation.

its probably the same place he got the idea to have ovo song writing sweat shops
