I'm from Toronto, and Forest Hill (where he grew up) is the richest neighbourhood in all of Toronto. I went to his old high school not too long ago for a basketball game and the school is amazing.

Cuz he started from the bottom of the rap game, now hes one of the most popular rappers out here.

Also cuz hes a wannabe so you'll catch him saying a lot of bullshyt like that. Nobody wants to hear songs about going to acting lessons and jewish holiday parties.

i see this argument all the time but it make no sense. Doesn't EVERY rapper start from the bottom of the rap game, besides people born into it like diggy, etc?

Drake's a total FRAUD his persona is just as fake as Iggy Azalea's, but most people can't see it because he happens to be half black. THere's NO way he could have the persona he portrays based on the way he grew up.

This is where things like skill and charisma come into play. You can call the Rick Ross's and Drake's of the world frauds but that shyt doesn't matter to most fans

Every rapper may start at the bottom, but not every rapper makes it to the top. Drake is at the top of the game and he is a respected artist. Thats why people let his phony ass slide cuz he makes good music whether your like him or not. So he really does have the ability to say "Started from the bottom now we here" as it pertains to the rap game. Notmany rappers can say they've done it how he's done it.
