I know too many people from Toronto who never felt like this :mjlol: some in the industry some outside of it
I agree I was one of them, but for another faction from Toronto (I suppose every big city does) it was embedded in hate and resentment. If it's Toronto industry cats a portion of them are bitter he was the one to "blow up" here. I'm not speaking from speculation, but I was running in the circles those dudes were in. Maybe "OVO's up" might be hyperbole, but the dude was getting love. As much as I wasn't really feeling it, I have to recognize it........ anyways we hip hop gossiping. You'll have heard things as would have I.

Don’t know how that man could ever show his face in public. Your own city, a city you put on a pedestal in so many songs, hates you just as much as your biggest opps :heh:

im not talking about anything salacious or gossip worthy

just simply everyone isn't a dikkrider and some people don't care if you're a local to their city, if they view you as a lame you a lame regardless of whatever money or fame you got going on :mjlol: music industry nikkas so weird with their allegiances, wasn't that serious on my end at all...

I'm a Toronto breh and even though Kendrick won, really is a bad look to have your own city turn on you.......Prior to the battle whole city was OVO'd up, proud Drake put us on the map, and reppin TO with pride........... moves like this show this place still got "lil brother" syndrome.... :francis:
breh Toronto is :yeshrug: about Aubrey

at least the brehs around my age

@MikelArteta @jdubnyce

Can speak to this too

It’s not that serious unless you’re a Gen Z type whose whole childhood and teenage years were around his prime

See this is that low key Toronto resentment I'm talking about.....I hold the same opinion about him and his music, but you're going to stand there and not recognize he wasn't the first to be mainstream consistently at the highest level?

Who got the closest before him? Kardinal maybe with the Akon feature. Choclair got nowhere close, Saukrates had the Nas contract that went nowhere, Jellestone had his one single and didn't gain traction. Mayhem Morearty never blew, Don Million never blew, Ghetto Concept never took off, Bishop had his 106&Park Freestyle Friday run and couldn't capitalize. G-Chile wasn't able to gain traction outside the streets.

The only other that comes to mind is The Weeknd and that was built off of Drake momentum.

I'm not a Drake fan, but to downplay the effect he had here? .... Miss me with that shyt. :camby:

Emotional reaction

I fukks with Drake his music is constantly in rotation

But I’m not “ovo’d” up to borrow your phrase.

It’s not that serious.
