The bond between them all is so admirable. Drake has been through a lot publicly and privately and none of them ever switched up.
Too much money there to fuck up no point doing so
40 spilled the tea on Drake tho ..
@@Wesleyan83 says who? Pusha.. Use your own brain
hd motivated it was never even denied? Lmao use yours too bro
@@Wesleyan83 it was denied.. Drake on the shop... So push makes a diss track and disses 40 but doesn't mention that 40 told him until kanye was getting killed for it..😂😂😂😂 and push gonna trust that type of info from a slut 40 is fucking? 😂😂😂
"is there anyone we missed?" No genius y'all do all the stalking for us
Nah they missed theo
Nardwuar prolly got something to say OR give OR contribute idk
@aljanat5 Umm you actually had us in the first half ngl

Chubbs and Baka are OG gangsters from Scarborough, theres a reason why Drake keeps them around
Chubbs definitely doesn't look like it... Those are the ones you should really be scared of
Krishan Kasandas ....your right Baka an OG in the Six 💯
Chubby definitely has that “Dont judge a book by the cover”
Baka I can definitely believe cause he was locked up for human trafficking... Crazy shit
No funny shit but I didn’t think Canada is a place where people get active. What I’ve heard is it’s peaceful up there.
chubbs was with drake before he blew up
Whether you like him or hate him. He's going to be going down as a legend in mainstream hip hop. I dont mean "mainstream" as a bad thing. I know people that listen to mostly to country that love listening to Drake. They know how to make music that can make anyone to bump to it.
Nelson Orozco Everyone knows this. He could’ve quit after NWTS and still would’ve been a legend
@@reach831 "if I die, I'm a legend" - Drake 2015
Not just mainstream, most real hip hop heads and lyrical artist fuck with and recognize Drake. From Jayz, J prince, Nas, Joe Budden, J Cole, ect. It's really mainly the suburban kids that think they know hip hop that love to hate on and meme Drake while they think 69 is the hardest dude alive 🤦🏿♂️
Will Reese facts. You know real music you like drake. People that think uzi and carti are good rappers are the ones that criticize old rappers or hip hop artists like drake
I think people like to joke on him because it's trendy but you're honestly lying to yourself if you listen to mainstream hip hop (which most people do) and don't consider him to be a top3 artist since So Far Gone (2009/2010?). He's insanely talented and puts out hit after hit with many different styles.
The bars hit so much harder when I know who he’s referencing 🔥
"My circle got so small that it's a period"
Drake -100
Cant hate on loyalty, it's one of the most valuable attributes in a person
Drake has done something that very few have done, and that's keep his squad together. 40, Oliver, Chubbs, etc. He seems loyal to those loyal to him
for those of you saying wayne it makes sense why you’d think that but they’re covering the people the kind of work for him if you’ve noticed their roles . people that are core members of OVO . wayne isn’t OVO despite him not being mentioned .
*work with him
No he had right, for.
vERMONTBLONDE they work with him. Not for him, big differences. I agree with everything else else you wrote though.
crazy to see how tight they always have been
It hurts that people don't appreciate the good music Drake puts out, because this man sacrifices a lot just for us to hear. Love him now not when he goes.
frr
Don’t forget J Prince who found Drake on MySpace and sent him a messaging saying “I’m gonna make you famous”. Then proceeded to introduce Drake to Lil Wayne and get him signed to cash money.
The fact that Chubs whose such an OG gangster was with Drizzy before Drake blew up or even become a mini star in the 6 really makes me wonder how Gangster Drake might really be, cause if you look at Chubbs he don't even look gangster at all, but yo
You forgot OVO DJ Akademiks
Lmao
John HE SAID OVO DEMIKS 😭💀
OVODEMIKS
That’s hilarious. 🤣
😂😂😂
It's good to have true friends that stand with you in life.
40s and Boi1da really implemented that sound for a decade, really shaped drake
Forgot Wayne too.

𝐃𝐉 𝐊𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐃
SyrupMaster still down with my day 804,one new friend,one new friend
ARE THE DRAKE VOCALS IN YET
OVO Ryan, Preme, Night Owl Sound, OB O'Brien, Weezy
🤜🏽🤛🏽I was looking for Weezy, OB O'Brien, Ryan & Preme they are part of the inner circle I don't know night owl sound though.
Peter don’t forget ovoroxx and ovomark
Last time I was this early I still had friends
Felt
Damn even Genius felt
seyned89 soundcloud.com/user-3909721/yvngvdz-break-up
Preme, OB O'brien, and Ryan. You guys forgot these 3 🤦♂️
Alberto Gomez But they did mention Lebron, ykno, Lebron James who’s always with Drake? They practically grew up together right?
@@JaeeMercer fr smh 💀
They have to make him look tough can’t have ob O’Brien a d Ryan there
@@TheSpirit. so 40 & oliver comes off as tough?
Alberto Gomez mark and gelo
Loyalty like that is rare. I can only hope that my circle can be filled with such high caliber loyalty
Ya’ll missed Johnny Roxx, drake’s personal trainer and buddy
“Roxx will do you filthy soon as I give him the nod. Meaning he'll blast for me like putting the 6 with the god”
ANT GOD Very underrated bar
ANT GOD that bar is insane
Nathan Hirmiz ruclips.net/video/xfEp2RcDISU/видео.html
Jonny got me pushin 2 plates!!
No matter how u feel about the man u gotta respect the fact that over a decade later he is still with the core people that believed in him. How many other artists as big as him can say that?
Ehh true but to be honest Drake has kinda fallen off musically after 2016. He still dominates the charts but the music he makes now are intentionally dumbed down and repetative. Look at songs like Toosie slide, wtf was that? Even God's Plan had the same formula but it was slightly better.
@@lethalspecter he literally just put out Chicago Freestyle & When To Say When...
bruh i'm just waiting on a OVOXO collab man
JaskaB won’t ever happen
The Spirit are they beefin or why wouldnt it happen? I think drake even said something about ovoxo linkup may in the war song
Elbard Koege nah the weeknd doesn’t fuck with him they’ll never be a collab I’m telling you
They do have one song together but I forgot the name of it, it’s a Weeknd song featuring drake pretty sure
MBJ920 the zone crew love and few more on take care that was 7 years ago
Yall forgot P. Reign / Preme...
i was thinking who the hell are all these people drake be shoutin out in these songs, this was needed.
The Lebron connection is a bit of a stretch, but pretty cool Drake came up with the same circle.
Hard to do in entertainment.
Nah bron and drake been cool since 08
LeBron literally said that him and Drake are brothers.
Julian They’ve been friends for over 10 years so it’s not a reach. They’re pretty close
Julian
Nah drake and Lebron go back to like 09 from the forever shoot
I remember drake saying that they have a group chat where they text bars to each other so yeh they’re pretty close
Been linked since ‘07 (south beach).
How u forget ob obrien 🤷🏾♂️
word
And that other white dude in the started from the bottom video .
“Yo ob your girls on the phone man she sounds super pregnant bro”
corbin tingling I haven’t seen him and Ryan around ovo in a long time not like 2014
@@shs646 the white dude was OB Obrien and the other guy is arab
That’s real love and loyalty that can’t be made or copied!
Y'all forgot Johnny Roxx(Jay), Gelo, Mark, Preme (P), Jas Prince, TV Gucci, CJ, OB Brein and Ryan.
Drake has been giving credit to 40 since the beginning, even made Wayne fly him out so he felt comfortable. Stand up dude.
Definitely missed Ryan & OB! TOPSZN days were some of the best 😭 I believe Ryan & Drake are related & OB is a old friend as well! He even acted with Drake & Mazin in their pilot “Us & Them” as Wendell lol. ❤️
I'm disappointed Genius how do you not mention OB Obrien, Preme, and Ryan theyve been with Drake from the jump as well🤦🏾♂️.
No cap!!
ovomark or gelo?
They switched up
@@Korenstein1 how?

They’ve been together since high school and OB was signed to OVO at a point
Noah??? You mean Drake's cousin Ryan? Noah is 40.

He mentions Lil Wayne in like a thousand songs
You missed Mark, CJ, Noel, OB, Ryan, etc
Definition of true friendship 🤝
This is what I mean and finally realized. You need people who don’t think of themselves only!! People who care about people!!! That’s what you need around! Fuck having fun friends they just there for the fun. You need real ones!
Drizzy a real one you don't see many in the game 10 years plus with the same ones he was with before he even blew my nigga is a GOAT no matter what y'all think #KeepTheFamilyClose #OvO
