That Trey Songz video was the only weak song on the mixtape breh and it's not even weak.

:ahh:
Drake - Going In For Life - YouTube


People were fukking with Drake but he was still underground like K.dot was before Section 80.
People started clowning him when he started fukking with Wayne, cause cats don't clown until success starts building up. And then he dropped So Far Gone and made the haters irrelevant quick.

I discovered him on Myspace as a featured artist on their home page in the last months of 08 I believe..roughly 3 months before SFG dropped didnt really like much of his stuff in the myspace music player but that track u posted stayed in heavy rotation on my Hewlett Packard 6110 laptop, running Windows XP.

Next thing I know "Every Girl" drops and every other word out of peoples mouths was Drake.

Shouts out to that man.

I remember a few early threads about Drake, I thought he was average when I saw him on BET back in 07. But I think a few of people started feeling the buzz a year after that in 08, probably cause Canadians started blowing up his myspace and shyt.

Senior year for me(08) he had a nice lil underground buzz and girls loved brand new. Then I went off to school and he was actually gettin bumped all throughout the dorms n shyt

I think ransom and that Wayne mixtape dropped and people were like who is this?

SFG dropped and it was a wrap, I knew dude would blow but I had NO clue he'd be this big

I remember being in high school, living in Toronto too...
Off the top of my head I remember always hearing I Get Paper and I think I'm Still Fly

By the time Best I Ever Had dropped, along with I'm Goin In, Successful and Forever :wow: Buzz was incredible

I, myself, was a hater back then since I fukking hated Best I Ever Had :yeshrug:
