      and upon further investigation we find that Tupac grew up upper middle class and attended an expensive performing arts school.

      Pac's mom was on drugs really bad and he never knew his father. Pac had got shot 5 times , been in jail, and he shot 2 cops that was trying to kill an innocent black man and won the case.. Tell me what Drake's ass had done?

  • @yungcash667

    Drake has my utmost respect because unlike most rappers now a days, he didn't get famous and didn't make money early in his life by selling drugs. He acted, made music, and became big the RIGHT way. And he actually says words, not random annoying sounds

    • @pirocubranich7265

      But he already had it good. What should get your respect is when someone beats the odds and gets out of the ghetto and supports his family

      @pirocubranich7265 8 років тому

      +Jamal Orange well it's not like they wanted to grow up in the ghetto and become a rapper. It's very common for most rappers to come from the ghetto because it is somewhat easy to make money off of music if you play your cards right

    • @diva1675
      @diva1675 8 років тому +3

      +piro cubranich He basically breaks the rapper stereotype. He worked hard in the entertainment business and became a professional. It's shows you don't have to go to jail, steal or hurt folks to be a legit rapper.

      Kusmijnklote Metdiezever not true the never mention he was once homeless and he lived with Tommy ( Thomas ) Gipson aka my cousin. He was living with them for a while cause he needed some where to leave that’s why you hear him say tommy in some of his songs cause he knew him since they were kids

  • @shamp0340
    @shamp0340 8 років тому +57

    For all y'all saying drake didn't start from the bottom... He did. When he was 5 years old his parents divorced and he lived in Weston road (a very dangerous neighborhood) with his mom and when they did move they lived in half of a house meaning he and his mom had to share a house with another family, he didn't graduate high school either. Yes he was on a tv show but that payed less than a teachers salary, he always helped his mom pay the bills and by the time everything was payed off there would be hardly any money left. But that's not even half of it and now he's here, living in luxurious houses, driving European cars and is one of the hottest artists out right now with basically every song on his album placing on the top 100 billboards.....so yea "started from the bottom, now we're here" is pretty accurate.

    I remember Drake from Degrassi, had a huge crush on him and was disappointed he left the show. A year or two later, he was in a Sprite commercial. My first thoughts were, "What the fuck? Is that Jimmy?" I would never have imagined he would become a rap icon.
