He was in a rare case though. So Far Gone blew up before he even got signed. Drake signing to YM was a loyalty move. He wasn't entitled to sign anywhere. He signed that June 09, and he wasn't entitled to sign anywhere. He got all those features on SFG as a unsigned artist and no label paid for it. He just had connects. I still think he should have signed to Ye'. Long term it would have been a better decision. Ye was a huge Drake fan early too. I remember him saying Drake scared him as an artist. He was hoping Drake would sign to him.
A small Vibe magazine article published in early/mid 08 saying he was already signed to YM and to look out for his debut album that was going to drop the top of 2009. I saw it on his Myspace back in 08. He was so excited over it. Its probably still floating around the net. They used the whole unsigned thing to further the hero story.
PLUS, you think Birdman is going to groom an artist like that and there be no paperwork.![]()
argue which average project was the least average brehs.

i heard 9am in dallassay whats real is better than that.
9AM in Dallas > 5 AM in Toronto.
Check the bars.

I could be wrong breh. I dont know what happens behind the scenes. So you're probably rightedit- I found the article. If you still do not believe. I will post it.
which triplei heard 9am in dallas
like i said
That triple entendre alone puts that far above the rest![]()
I'm pretty sure he wasn't signd breh. Because there were still labels in the running

They wouldn't have been bidding if he was signed.
He said himself he wasn't signed but had a verbal comittment. Because Birdman tried to catch him with a 1 milli deal in 08.
A lot of the artists on YM weren't signed.

"Sinatra lifestyle Im just being Frank with you
I mean where u think she at when she aint with you"

that aint no fukking triplethat aint no fukking triple
"Im just being frank with ya"
Reference to Sinatra the legend
reference to verb(action) of being frank
and reference to the C. brown and Frank Ocean incident a couple weeks b4 the song dropped
but he was talking bout chris brownstill dont get how the CB/FO incident refers to that line. Plus, the fact that it dropped after an incident doesnt mean it was recorded after that.
but he was talking bout chris brown
it was well recorded that at that time drake was hanging with rihanna while c brown and rihanna were still something
which is why after that he says "where u think she at when she aint with you"
Drake on interviews would then fire more shots at C breezy after that song dropped
