one of the realest and rawest rappers to ever grace the earth, it's a blessing to have drake caress your ear drums with his passionate and meaningful lyrics. You a real one fr 🙌🏾
Drake can write some sick stuff. It doesn't mean he can freestyle . But dude , soon Drake is going to be so far up in the charts that is gonna be impossible to take him out. Drake will go beyond every rapper there is , Including Wezzy
It's crazy revisiting these videos of early drake. For most fans, you were probably in early high school when Drake first dropped. He was different. No other rapper in 2008 had his sound, his bars with emotion. It was a different era. His House of Blues show tours were epic in 2009, and the Glow in the Dark Tour with Kanye....to see what Drake has blown up to now is jus t insane.
Yesterday y'all loved him and pushed him to the top. Today y'all are making up anything to push him off. Ya'll did it to Jay Z, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Elvis, Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, etc.... People are fantastic.
hip hop is not dead, it just changes and some people hate changes different people do different things, all music is good music, cuz the truth is, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, NOT NEVER ANYTHING FOR NO ONE, pretty sure u get what im tryna say, BIG UPS TO DRAKE
I remember a time when this was literally the only live footage of drake performing at the time, you really did the world a service with this one and I came here to say it because I randomly still think about this video
@@chvsebank nah bro he may not make music like he used to but he definitely still has hunger he’s developing artists still releasing decent music and has his own record label, it’s mad hard to stay relevant
@@chvsebank That's true. When he dropped Views in 2016, he really started to change to the more basic rapper/singer compared to actually making signature Drake tracks he used to before that. Last great drop was IYRTITL. Knew his music was going downhill when he dropped that collab album with future late 2015 several months after
i dont really care for him but i got mad respect for the dude being able to rap without mentioning bagging coke smokin dope or murderin niggas, so to me this dude is the realest right now
So what's So convincing about this man? I always felt like he's clearly still acting. Did yall never question his authenticity or did he convince yall he's legit eventually? Be mature or ignore me please. I think this is a dope conversation
i think dude is real talented. especially when all u hear on the radio is soulja boy type music. nothing against soulja boy but i think this dude is real creative on almost every song i heard
@@acesb24 Still that was true, won't ever be a time period like 09 for Drake, he was dropping straight fire and was speaking on so much that you had to listen and the music was hitting hard
"I'll Tell Ya Girl To Gimme Some Brain, & If She... Say Yes... Then I'll Say... Don't Say You Will... Unless You Will, Hey Hey Hey Heyyyyy" LMAO Its Shit Like This That Makes Him The Hottest Nigga Out Right Now... Drake Is On Fire
He pretty much summed it up hard as hell!! "Chi town...I'm feelin me....All the shit I read that be killin me....I figure if I spit and never had good songs all the haters would tell me I'm a real MC"..... DONE
aww man....feels like yesterday when my cousin took this video, now look at it, 500,000 hits n counting, to think he went from that to where he is now, he aint never gonna be at H.O.B. again!
When is Drake coming to the west coast?! His shows look insane with everyone singing along. I think he's just the perfect combination of real hip hop and radio pop. If he covered all of 808's like Novel did, I'd easily put it over Kanye's album.
"what does he have to show for it?" -a Platinum freshman album, at 16. -one of the greatest (Jay-Z) whose been using Chris' flow since signing him in '99. -Just Blaze, Chad West, and pretty much any producer he wants to get on any song... I could honestly keep going...
I like when he says hey hey hey but in the song he don't say that that should be in the song and shout out to all my niggas that be reppin for the fucking south side!!!!!
He got better, he marketed himself to be able to be an artist people listen to the point they don't have to LOVE rap to like him. That nervousness he's showing by shaking his hand and not looking at the crowd changed.
Christofer Sensei Drake’s new material is trash. You can’t compare 2009 Drake to 2019 Drake and say he got better. That same Southern rap mumble with a few bars that sounds exactly like every other rapper out right now. He probably did get better commercially but 2009 Drake had more unreleased songs leaked on the internet than his whole discography, that’s how good he was.
The first video/song/ anything I heard from drake. Brings back so many memories. Outfit fire, shoes fire, hair fire, bars fire, his walk fire, no homo shit but his physique was fire then too. Buff drake ain’t cool.
Da beginning is a freestyle, but when he says "Why do i feel so alone...." dats a freestyle from his "So Far Gone" mixtape. And people whu know hip-hop can obviously know whats coming next.
they have voice effect pedals that distort voices in real time, just like guitar distortion pedals work. thats how they did it. i've used one a few times.
creativity when it comes to flow and lyricism is more than apparent in Chris. MANY people from Philly to NY, etc. are pretty damn sure Jay himself jacked Chris' style. That "smooth & whisper" type flow that Jay's got, he started using in '99, the year he signed Chris (who had that style then at 16). That speaks volumes. "some of his older material" i saw him in the booth in his house during a degrassi cast special...where he used a line from Kriss Kross (of all groups..lol) in his "freestyle".
Watching this on the 10 year anniversary of So Far Gone. Iconic shit man.
Darryl Roberts I'm here too brotha 🔥
This when I knew Drake was a star , been listening to this since I was 16 in ‘09 . Drake is a legend of our time 🦉
🦉💜
🦉❤
The boy is cold, for real. One of my favorite artists now. And once he get the swagger down pat, he'll be unstoppable.
This comment was 10 years ago and look what Drizzy is now. 🔥
This aged extremely well lmao

I was in elementary in Toronto Canada around this time
Fuck yes
Wow he went from looking up/imitating Kanye to being his real life rival now lol wow. Look what happens over a 10-year stretch of time
"idols become your rivals."
And now they’re friends again
@@untrueninja1418 I'd love to hear a full-produced by Ye album for Drizzy

You could not have been more right
This aged extremely well
Are you there man. He's a legend and the greatest.

I was a Sr in high school I knew he was going to blow up
He had that sound it was unique
That part where he’s like “shout out my niggas that be repping for the south side”... chills . REALest song by Drake ever 🐐🔥😤
Had to come back to this after his newest singles... better times fr
A lot of y’all wasn’t here for this era. ‘09 was one hell of a time.
I used to think I was so cool rapping this entire video to this girl during lunch freshman year, still hits hard like day one 13 years later
memories drake nothing was the same tho im proud of u drake much love n respect real nigga wassup
Yesterday y'all loved him and pushed him to the top. Today y'all are making up anything to push him off. Ya'll did it to Jay Z, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Elvis, Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, etc.... People are fantastic.
The Problem is Drizzy vanlli is nowhere near those names

This is big facts LETS GO
Drake makes everything sound better.
Drake knew he was gonna be the goat at 4:19
Funny to see him perform, right before he blew up.
Now he is one of the leading rappers in the game.
Greatest performance.
he memorized this one from his cell phone before he came out
He had hunger then
He STILL has hunger
Miles Montgomery lost it in 2016
@@chvsebank nah bro he may not make music like he used to but he definitely still has hunger he’s developing artists still releasing decent music and has his own record label, it’s mad hard to stay relevant

he been acting his whole life bro was a main actor in degrassi and know he the main actor of hip hop vultures
@@iRaven-_- that's what it seems like to me but a lot of people seem convinced by...sales? I don't get it fam
There’s no reason he’s acting you can’t even explain yourself what he’s acting like
@@iRaven-_- CDonald Glover is worse.I enjoyed watching Jimmy in Degrassi
Freestyle or no freestyle, auto-tune or no auto-tune.
i enjoy this.
Miss this type of Drake and this whole time of music

"I figure if i spit an never had good songs, all the haters would tell me im a real MC" aint that the fucking truth!
