Drake didn't come up through Toronto's hip hop scene. Drake didnt grind away in the Toronto scene, then blow up, represent his cities sound, expand and take it national and international. He was a child actor, had some connects that got his demo/mixtape to waynes hand, wayne signed him in the US and blew him up in the houston and miami and eventually ATL markets, and took him US national, and Canada was happy to have someone from their reach that status so they rode with him. But musically he isnt from that school of music, and he didnt have those relationships on the way up that would cause him to feel obligated to help them dudes...

so basically he can't rep the city because he ain't repping it like that. :laff: that's one reason why i don't get why he screams toronto so hard. does toronto respect drake?

Rap or not Drake put on two artists SUCCESSFULLY from his city, and signed one of them. That's something 99% of rappers can't say they've done

but even if he didn't.

he don't owe these nikkas NOTHING.

lol @ that other shyt you wrote. toronto aint do shyt for him. His very first tape was hosted by SOUTHERN SMOKE. and he paid for that shyt with his own money

he don't owe these nikkas nothing

we're talking about RAPPERS. fukk the r&b circuit.

Drake has said himself on numerous occasions, if he could sing well enough to tour as a singer he would be a singer. He doesn't have the range or vocal technique to successfully perform singing records in the harsh conditions of live concert settings... as a result he diversified into focusing on rap and integrating some singing... really by his own admission he would prefer to be a singer who integrates some rapping...

being true to himself, he is bringing out singers... thats just him being real man

Remember when he co-signed The Weeknd and his emotions got the best of him because he didn't sign to OVO. That probably when he realized "No new friends no new friends no" is true :to:

Cuz he ain't the best. He's been crushed under the radar and don't want that story out there. Lol

But a lot of Toronto is like drake though. Like its a soft city yo. And if u don't blend in. U get a lotta p*ssy but the rap scene here is a CAC scene. To don't live hip hop like NY do.

What happened to that Nickelus F nikka or whatever?



And to answer your question OP, cause he don't owe them nikkas nothin


Nickelus F is from Virginia.

They used to record alot together when Drake was on his backpack steeze.

Drizz probably dont answer his calls anymore.
