You're nuts. Phonte is ill. Drake's first two tapes "Room For Improvement" and "Comeback Season" were highly influenced by Phonte and his group "Little Brother". They are legends.
My point is, todays rap scene has drastically changed from how it used to look. Do you actually think a half-white canadian dude like Drake would even be CONSIDERED a rapper 15 years ago? People would laugh at him. But look where this dude is today, he's one of the most hyped rappers since 50 Cent debuted, he sells out shows wherever he goes, and he's got millions of views on UA-cam and myspace.. And dude hasn't even released an album.. Cred doesn't mean shit people, we live in 09.
Drake been that dude from the jump man. People say he acts soft for singing & acting or whatever, but he was early with delivering BIG SMOKE if you went at him on the mic. 🔥🔥🔥
No, nobody should rap about shit they never did, but that has nothing to do with street cred or cred in general, it has to do with honesty. If a rapper wants to be taken seriously, he needs to be honest. If not, he can rap about shit he never did and be taken as a joke by rap fans. Drake says some real shit, shit he's been through and even though he was brought up with a silver spoon, he shows that he's been through bullshit. Listen to Say what's real, he keeps it real.
But the thing is Drake doesn't rap about violence+drugs. On the song he was taking about he just mainly busted Aristo out for all the dirt he had. Drake never said "Nigga Imma kill you " or "I sell more crack than I can handle". Thats what makes Drake so hot..he's like Ye he doesn't NEED violence+gang banging inorrder for his music to sell. He just spits real ish.
was I one of the few people who saw this video as a Drake fan 3 years ago, and a couple of people were commenting on this saying "yo isn't he on Degrassi? He raps?" Haha. Drake blew up. Props to him.
toronto rapper "ARISTO" dissed drake on a track and drake replied with a hard track ft. all his closest rapper friends from toronto. Search "good riddance" its ft. jd era, jonny roxx, bishop brigante, and young tony. thats all i know about it
i can tell that but not from this video clip. how did u come up with that? i can imagine its hard for him to feel like he can fit in being half black in and industry where hes trying to appeal to the black community especially when all of his history is on tape somewhere on the net but all respect to drake hes doing a good job
yo its crazy last time i seen this video it was at like 300 views or sumthin now its at 177 thou and now im hearin dude went platnium first week in canada alone thats no joke
Im not saying it's okay to kiss men or fuck them.. Im saying the last couple of months we've had rappers punched by women, chains stolen, exposed of being c.o's (Ross) and lying about their criminal past (Akon, who's not a rapper but you get my point). Then we've had Wayne kissing Birdman, we've had Kanye release a fucking singing album.. And you know what? these rappers are STILL popular, their shit still sells. 10 years ago they'd be down and out, but nowadays nobody cares about cred.
drake is nice. wayne signed him to cash money, he wrote on dr dre's album, detox, and he can sing. dont hate on him u cant knock talent. i can careless if the man is a thug or not. he only rap about shit he about.
ALYoungFuture Yeah kid it's a classic from MOBB DEEP Featuring Big Noyd called "Just step". It's off "Infamous Mobb Deep" album. I first heard it on Funkmaster Flex 60 Minutes of Funk Vol.1 which is another classic. All I do is listen to classic and underground to overseas shit man as far as rap goes. I listen to other genres too just to balance my ear palate. Can't fuck with this new rap shit unless I'm hollerin' at young thick thots 'bout that life. lmao!'' That will always be the only reason. lol! But yeah hit me if you got anything else. PEACE
So what your saying is that hip hop comes from the slums and the poor? Hip hop is fucking hip hop regardless of status or race. Love of the music not hate of the people. i aint saying its in good shape now, but what your telling me is that rich kids cant be rappers?
The best interviews are like this when they got a fire beat in the BG, ups the nostalgia
Iove getting a look into Drake's mind on rap beef, especially after this Kendrick feud
Back when he was real and not a wannabe thug who uses ghostwriters for his songs
i love him in Degrassi!!!! i just found out he was a rapper/singer. great accomplishments!!! love ya aubry!!!! ^_^
It’s been a successful 13 years for Drake
This has aged well👀
This was the Drake I grew up and went through middle school and high school with. Insane
Say more homie.....
You're nuts. Phonte is ill. Drake's first two tapes "Room For Improvement" and "Comeback Season" were highly influenced by Phonte and his group "Little Brother". They are legends.
Yeah I'm impressed. Well-spoken young man representing us, the thoughtful youth ;)

I think it was Kardinal Official, im not sure tho
who does drake say his favourite rapper is??? falltay?? i can't hear it or find it..
Fortay
Phonte from Little Brother
Little Brother is on "Dont You Have A Man?', which is a Drake song from around 2007-2008
He's 23
There are many skilled rappers, that are not from "the hood." I base what tracks I like on lyrics and beats. Not where the rapper is from.
Hey, who the hell is Aristo?
who's that rapper he said first . phonte?
Uber Retro Kids
@JuggB Phonte is that dude
thats not true....theres a long list of rappers that aren't "gangsta"
@JonasNbbLover4Ever
It's spelled Phonte. Or search for little brother
who did he say his fav rapper was????
man thats a hater man...niggah got his shot and he's taking his career slow as it could be big....wacth what he becomes
who are they talking about?
how old is he?
i just watched Unscripted from the degrassi days and he was heaps more humble.. jus sayin
me neither
just step by mobb deep
If you dont like Drake then...stop looking+commenting on his videos. Rant on your little twitter&keep it moving.
