He shouldn't of had to reinvent himself so many times thus far to capitalize off earlier success. I like this Drake, the Drake that feels real. His new album Honestly Nevermind is a perfect example of what I mean. Might aid in the longevity of his career but for a lot of the older fans it just feels fake and manufactured.
Drakes a machine now. Wealth and access to everything you could ever want in life changed him. Rightfully so. Imagine having $20k…. Now you $200 million plus to your name. Shits different.
I was listening to J Cole's False Prophets and this flow popped into my head. Would kill for Drake to drop something like this again, it just has so much heart.
I honestly don't care that Drake "changed." He still kills every track and spills his heart just like he did on his old mix tapes. His life changed, therefore so did his music. I still love Drake, old or new, he's still one of the realest rappers out there.
Jeff Rayborn same. I don't even like him anymore which is wild cause I was obsessed with him when this came out. You couldn't tell me then that I wouldn't love Drake today. His style is trash to me currently.
Drake is still very talented and very lyrical as well. He just got into the industry and now he has more lucrative topics to rap about which will, in turn, change his flow. He could honestly do this shit right now if he wanted to. DRAKE IS AN UNFORGETTABLE HIP-HOP GREAT.
+neutronthekid34 Hey! I noticed you enjoy this song and I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kai, I am a rap artists. I make music similar to Drake, Blu, Common with a chill smooth vibe. Since you like this song would you mind if I share one of my songs with you called, "Sexy Senorita" and get your opinion?
Drake still gives plenty of good conceptual and lyrical rap songs, Started from the bottom is just a Catchy club song that doesn't need complex lyrics.
Yaaas mixtape Drake. He is the same in terms of what inspires him. He wasn't on so he was super eagar to succeed. Now he is successful and raps about how his success changes the people around him. ie Trophies and hotlinebling. Its amazing how he is one of the few artists you can listen to from the botton (1st song he posted on myspace) till now. #superfan
My moms 65 and she loves the Weeknds new album, we were talking about it on a long drive. Out of no where she said you know that big Toronto rapper? ( she has mild dementia so his name escaped her mind) I said Drake! She said yes, what happened to him? He use to sing from his heart and now he’s only rapping. I explained supply and demand to her. She said I loved soulful drake, the world needs more of his heart right now. God bless her, if only it was this simple. I agree with her, I fell in love with Marvins room and Successful and that was it.
Sadly THIS Drake is what is gone. Wow seems like this came out ages ago. Remember it like yesterday Things change..never stay the same. One of my favorites by him.
I remember burning drake mixtapes CDs and playing them in my car trying to convince friends and family that he could spit. Needless to say I got laughed at a lot. But this song will always be a gem.
We have reached the "I miss the old kanye" feeling for Drake. Used to listen to this in high school. I think he has changed and adapted to the market. Let's be honest. This is a gem because it was not popularized neo randb and rap aka that annoying pop music he puts out.
It Feels Good to hear Drake Rap about What we found ourselves being able to relate to at that time. I was Fresh outta High School during this time,so ofcourse a song about not finding the right girl combined with some of the best days of your life instantly makes this a Hit!!!!
I try to tell people all the time, Drake is a beast. This dude just hits all the right spots in everything, he's a lyrical genius, seriously and I love it. he always got a story to tell.....most definitely goin in my favs
@@6starFenrir He was writing his verses on room for improvement which is the mixtape this song is from. You can literally google "drake room for improvement handwritten lyric notebook" and see pictures of it. There's also an interview he gives from 2004 on degrassi where he shows his lyric notebooks. ua-cam.com/video/7OisZAqxeEI/v-deo.html
@@6starFenrirall that was debunked looong time ago. The guy has a history of writing songs for all the greats in the industry now. But clearly you Patrick Starr been living under a rock all this time and just miserably hating in good ole 2016 fashion 🤣🤣
Listening to this drake is refreshing. The skill is still there, but the new drake. listening to the new drake sounds like a r&b artist who can rap well and not vice versa.
I remember BUYING this mixtape. I was hyped when I copped it off of his myspace. I'm kinda sad now that it's free but it was definitely worth the money.
My favorite old school drake song. It's really the one that made me say he really about to blow up. And dam I was right!!! What drake song made u know he was gonna be that dude??
I was too young so I never listened to these Old Drake songs but I'm here now and fuck, this Drake is a fucking Genre, he isn't a artist here, he's a fucking Genre!!! Drake is the GOAT 🐐🙌🏼
First time hearing....04/13/2024. I haven't given Drake an honest listen. But there's a reason for that. The first time......the VERY FIRST time I heard his voice, I was in a movie theater. A Sprite commercial came on....and I heard "First name, greatest. Last name, eva." I said, "Niqqa, I don't even know who you are! Greatest M.B.A!!!" So......having been born in 74 and lived through every evolution of hip-hop, he rubbed me the wrong way. I love arrogance, but this was a bridge too far. Over the years, I've mostly ignored him. I finally listened to a full song when "Started from the Bottom" came out. I enjoyed it. And that was pretty much it accept for hearing him in some collaborations here and there. But I was just letting my UA-cam run and some documentary came up and when this song title was mentioned, I decided to come check this out. It's very good. I will give him a lil more time in my ear and hopefully come across some more enjoyable tunes.
Drake has changed throughout these years. Room For Improvement he was more humble and not as explicit he was just great. Comeback Season Much respect much respect! great mixtape So Far Gone Mixtape Just plain deep. the whole thing was just like pointin to certain things in his life. So Far Gone EP pretty good showed a lot in him showed what he's capable of. Thank Me Later. sigh he did great he just has maybe a little bit to much pride. Still Much RESPECT to drake. he killed it in all albums.
i love drake. been following him honestly since early 07 when i heard replacement girl on the-n. but i will also honestly say i think its a tragedy seeing him regress from classic mixtapes like comeback season and room for improvement, to the bubble gum rap/pop crap on so far gone (which ironically even tho its his worst work, gave him the most attention) listening to RFI compared to SFG...he used more lyrical ability 3 years back than now. very very sad....hopefully thank me later is like C.S.
Man time really flies it’s funny seeing people’s comments from 9 years ago talking about “bout then when drake was” this that talk. I find myself saying the same thing now. But regardless of opinions this dude continues to evolve and move with the times. A true goat.him Eminem lil Wayne Kanye. These dudes got a grip on this game so strong goku and Superman can’t make them cut loose. #payhommage
Don't lose faith in Drake guys! The hunger was ridiculous during this time, and he was going through many relatable issues that we can all understand. I can't front..he did change on us quite a bit..lol. We all grow up though
Yeah I agree... I'm a big drake fan, and ever since he started pairing up with people like birdman and lil wayne, he's been going down a lot.... Fear and his verse in Forever are the only 2 new songs that he goes deep in.
something needs to happen im sick of hearing butt on the radio nd being praised worldwide for having a chorus with a couple words that mean nothing. those who work the hardest are recognized the least nd most of those who make it are shaped nd formed into something they never were i swear drakes trying fight tht fancy, nd over, are hits that mean something so hes still himself but most likely he cant fix this shit by himself he is the most humble of people nd deserves more
everybody needs to understand that drake is he same he just upgraded his swag i dont know how yall could complain after the take care album he killed it...
Back when Drake's music was actually good and when he collab with great artists. I don't care what anyone says I think he old music blows his newer material out of the water
Aaaaa!! Drake killed it. Just listen to him, how can you dislike this man...unless you just don't like hip-hop, you have to atleast give Drake a shot man, he is something special...real talk
I don't care how old this joint is or whether he changed or not, I'm lovin' this shit and Drake made some good-ass music. Hope he doesn't retire like Jay did lol....

Classic Drake. Could have this on repeat all day
This is more like Drizzy #oVo
Facts.
Now and then I put it on repeat when I'm going to sleep so soothing 😌
You know good music bro....im bumping this in 2021
As much as I miss this era of Drakes career, I know he wouldn't have nearly sold as much as he does now
Straight facts 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

He said he had to change the style because conciess rap was fading .
Fr tho- dope af that this is still available and a good sound too it 👌🏾 I was on this back in 2009-2011.
This may soundd too emotional but this beat gives me the most incredible feeling... And the lyrics areeee soo true!!
He's the same Drake, just evolved as an artist.
Devolved*
Okay. I disagree. But your entitled.
Yes sir 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
You have to evolve. We all have to make a living. No one's going to make bread for you.
I was listening to J Cole's False Prophets and this flow popped into my head. Would kill for Drake to drop something like this again, it just has so much heart.
I can
"Now a days most of the thrill of just chillin is gone" So true.. /: love this song
It's the Same Drake, the music has changed. Watered down, diluted for the masses
+Paul Ruiz I assure you, I have a very broad taste in music.
I honestly don't care that Drake "changed." He still kills every track and spills his heart just like he did on his old mix tapes. His life changed, therefore so did his music. I still love Drake, old or new, he's still one of the realest rappers out there.
damn I miss this drake. I was a die heart fan back then
Jeff Rayborn same. I don't even like him anymore which is wild cause I was obsessed with him when this came out. You couldn't tell me then that I wouldn't love Drake today. His style is trash to me currently.
Shay18 yea totally diff now man 😢😢
Forever would be a classic Drake 🤞🏽
Much love to everyone who used to listen to this when it dropped. y'all got good taste in music.
You're a legend if you still listening to this in 2023
2024 gang 🤙🏽 still can’t believe how old this is
@@1992Dwade daily banger man
2024 and this still slap
Favorite Drake song of all time. And it always will be.
This so song is so fkn smooth and majestic .. this the reason I started listening to Drake

Here 2024
just randomly started singing that chorus "love is lost love is gone" lol classic drake
your a real og

R.I.P Drake of message and good rap
Lucas plug.dj so this is the drake that made "started from the bottom" ?? holy shit
The best of the new gen is Kendrick Lamar and Joey Badass.
Drake still gives plenty of good conceptual and lyrical rap songs, Started from the bottom is just a Catchy club song that doesn't need complex lyrics.
+Lucas Cristiano Both good artists but you're opinion is subjective

I don't mind the pop drake.but he can atleast drop soulful tracks as well like this so he can balance out his singing and rapping.feel me?
What song of his would you call "pop"?
My moms 65 and she loves the Weeknds new album, we were talking about it on a long drive. Out of no where she said you know that big Toronto rapper?

Rare breed
Sadly THIS Drake is what is gone.
Wow seems like this came out ages ago. Remember it like yesterday
Things change..never stay the same.
One of my favorites by him.

But this song will always be a gem.
what happened to this drake!!??
Drake is drake to me man but he did change in age
he's still here
Delvonte Smith I b asking myself the same question
Delvonte Smith so far gone
Young money made Drake lazy
We have reached the "I miss the old kanye" feeling for Drake. Used to listen to this in high school. I think he has changed and adapted to the market. Let's be honest. This is a gem because it was not popularized neo randb and rap aka that annoying pop music he puts out.
Soulful, backpack rap Drake hits different.
this has been my fav Drake track for years . kills every verse
This man’s reach was very much organic and these are the tracks that gained him a following.
the old school drake... I stay on this
Li Harris yes bro
i dont blame drake..... kanye used to be soulful like this too but music change over time
Going down memory lane in ‘23 🥹
easily one of his best songs.
im expecting to see this on a greatest hits album of his years from now
Room for improvement
So far gone
Thank me later
Comeback season
October's very own
The Drake the new generation will never know about 😊
Drake deserves every ounce of respect he gets. A humble business man with true skill.
He's a genius he deserves all his flowers and he is the GOATs heir Lil Wayne chose the best successor
every artist changes, i like drakes new song , his older music does sound more genuine and like hes into it more..
This Drake is long gone...
This is going to the mall on a cloudy day shit.
This track triggers emotions and deep thoughts
It Feels Good to hear Drake Rap about What we found ourselves being able to relate to at that time. I was Fresh outta High School during this time,so ofcourse a song about not finding the right girl combined with some of the best days of your life instantly makes this a Hit!!!!

This the drakes was a fan of
The first moment I heard this song back in '09...I knew he was gonna be here for awhile, he was only a rookie when this dropped
2024.. Where would Voyce be today had him and Drake never fell out. Would have definitely had him at run at some point.
My favorite old school drake song. It's really the one that made me say he really about to blow up. And dam I was right!!! What drake song made u know he was gonna be that dude??
2023 and almost 15yrs, still a classic from drizzy.

I like the old and new Drake because you get the best of both worlds I just wish these mixtapes went all over the world so I can get them
all my life since ive been listening to this video, it picks and chooses when it wants to play that list bit and idk why
