His passion & addiction to music is what makes him great -- he listened to EVERYTHING. I remember reading a very old Noggin interview online when he was 18 & his most recent indulgence was a Bruce Springsteen CD haha
it's so crazy to see how much he's always loved music. i was young the first time I watched degrassi TNG so I didn't know anything about the actors themselves, I just thought he was a musician only on the show. I remember hearing him rap on stage in that episode where he and ashley are performing for a label or something and I thought wow, this guy should become an actual rapper! Then years later he was, it's amazing how things happen
4:11 what Jason didn’t know is instead of acting, Aubrey Graham would become one of the greatest rappers/artists of all time. I wonder if Drake still has the letter.
@@Godaerentalos Agreed, it was Degrassi that helped them out of what could have been a tough situation if he never got that part. That's what people don't realize and it wasn't even a lot of money, Moms was sick and had to take a lot of time off work but the haters never mention that.
I literally have never forgotten about that Denzel Washington letter and I don’t know why. It’s the only moment from these unscripted things I remember and it’s been, what, twenty years?
Well this is the real Meet The Grahams. Not that stupid ass Diss track which sounds depressing. Real ones knows how Jimmy Brooks gets down behind the scenes of Degrassi
His grandma was in his one song look what you done. I never knew anything about this tho this is my first time seeing this. Definitely blessed. He got good supportive parents
Mofos say Drake grew up rich when he didn’t. Legit he was the breadwinner for his sick mom and his grandmother. Divorced Parents. His dad was legit in jail early on and lived in Memphis. He just doesn’t preface his struggle much.
I remember seeing this on the N back in the day and went to datpiff and his first tape Room For Improvement was on there and since Jimmy was my favorite character I was instantly a fan. This nigga was basically born a star and that's crazy. I remember comeback season came out and I was really trying to put niggas on it and they were like "dude from degrassi 😆?" By the time dedication 3 and so far gone came out everyone was a fan
tbh, I wish I could answer your question. I saw an ad where they're selling the set. But I'll wait for a valid response though. realtor.ca/real-estate/19392464/industrial-220-bartley-dr-toronto-victoria-village
To think at the time if you’d told me he was going to be artist of the decade in the decade to come or this dude was going to have more number ones than Michael Jackson...I wouldn’t have believed you. Crazy that show isn’t what he’s going to be known for.
I remember watching this when it aired. I was like damn he got a nice house. Then when he got big in rapping and had that “started from the bottom” song I was like…. My guy… you lived well, you were never at the bottom 😂 He thinking he grew up in the projects with milk crates for a dresser. Song should have been “started from the middle class now I’m here” 😂😂
@@KraXoom he def beat the odds, how many ppl really get to start from a tv show and blow up, not very many, he's part of the one percent, if it was easy, everyone would be where he's at
@@KameronKDH honey that’s not the bottom. His lyrics makes him seem like he grew up eating mayonnaise sandwiches 😂 He was middle class, not poor. Very little odds were beaten but keep reaching.
Degrassi aired in the US on TheN which from 2001 to 2008 was an afternoon/night time block on Noggin, a channel owned by Nickelodeon. Noggin aired pre-school programming in the mornings while The N aired teen oriented shows in the afternoons and evenings. In 2007, a 24 hour version of the N was created replacing the Game Show focused Channel Nick GAS, however in 2009, as part of a larger rebrand, The N was relabelled as TeenNick, and it continued airing Degrassi until it’s end in 2015.
he means the bottom of the music industry not financially. he started from scratch as a teenager and worked his way up to one of the biggest hip hop stars of all time
Ele foi descoberto pelo Canal Reviva em 2004 e foi convidado pra fazer a novela Amores Verdadeiros e ele aceitou o convite de atuar como os irmãos gêmeos Aubrey e Jimmy e a novela teve um enorme sucesso por causa dele que tinha 17 anos ele nasceu em 24 de Outubro de 1986 e a novela vai voltar no novo horario de novelas do Canal Reviva as 13 :15 da tarde pra gente rever o Aubrey Graham (hoje Drake) atuando bem novinho com a Roberta Tiepo , Giovanna Antonelli , Luciele di Camargo , Karina Bacchi , Lady Lu e grande elenco .
Obviously almost every single Drake fan probably said oh I've been into him since he was Jimmy on Degrassi! You see I actually have been all about Aubrey since before he was Drake. Recently I commented on one of the videos uploaded to RUclips for Young Money song Every Girl ( there is more than one copy uploaded to RUclips.. so I don't remember which one.) Anyway.. I will share my story now on this video. As I mentioned above I was all about Drake when he was just Aubrey on Degrassi the Next Generation. One day I'm sitting in my bedroom with a friend of mine and the video for every girl came on ( I think it came on TV or I may have seen it on RUclips and decided to click on it.) The moment I see Drake on the screen I'm literally like oh my God that's Jimmy! From Degrassi the Next Generation! Then I start thinking maybe my mind is Playing Tricks on Me and go back and forth a couple of times as to whether or not it really is Jimmy. Then came the part where the word Jimmy pops up in bubble letters with an arrow pointing towards Drake. Immediately I'm Legit freaking out saying oh my God I was right it's him it's him! Pretty sure my friend thought I was insane.. I was just unbelievably excited! To this day I would drop everything and marry that man! Hahaha! Grateful that I got to see him in concert twice even though for personal reasons my income is limited. So grateful!! Hopefully one day I will get lucky enough to meet the man I look up to so much! The closest I have ever gotten is when I saw him at the Prudential Center in Newark New Jersey. It was would you like a tour? With Drake Miguel and Future. Obviously my main reason for going was Drake. Near the end of the concert Drake stepped onto a round platform that took him to all parts of the audience.. even the up high seats. The fact that I have a physical disability limits my seating choices at concerts. When he stepped onto the platform I honestly didn't think there was any way he was going to notice me. Well I was very wrong. He said I see you up there in the red shirt with your hands in the air don't think I don't see you! I thought I was going to die of happiness!! All those people in the stadium and he recognized me! In case you're wondering how I know specifically that it was me.. the section that I was seated in was very small and I was definitely the only one wearing a red shirt and waving my hands in the air in my small section.. remember as I said the platform was designed for Drake to go Section by section talking to his fans. Man my life was made that night! You couldn't tell me nothing!! Funny side note: the two tickets I purchased were meant for me and my best friend at the time. Unfortunately he had to work and it was so last minute I had a hard time finding someone to go with me. My 50 year old uncle who has absolutely no knowledge of Drake ended up being a good sport and going with me.. I really didn't want the ticket to be wasted. My uncle said it wasn't a bad concert it was better than he had pictured it was going to be. Hahaha

@@codesm96They barely made any money in Degrassi & he wasn’t even the star

That Acura been has been in so many songs lol 😌
Back in the day …. Acura days
In 90s, not 00s
I peeped that one, he used to say he drove the Acura to his school in one of his rhymes
I’ve been love with him since he was this Aubrey ❤️
Same here
He worked his ass off for it. Hats off to the man
Hahaha! he a *ew, that all you need to become successful in the industry

Only you weirdo
How did you know?
😂 the dude who came before Kendrick’s diss called u weird. That’s wild 😂

I get chills watching this because he earned everything. I have so much respect for him
You probably feel a differently now…

He did rap about all of that tbh just in his album tracks and mixtapes, real fans know this but the haters ignore it
"This ain't the son you raised who used to take the Acura
5 a.m. then go and shoot Degrassi up on Morningside"
wow, that’s so crazy how he said pharrel was his idol, and now he telling Kendrick to come get pharrels legacy out of his house. How times change

he'll never
Aww he had Andrea Lewis’s first single that’s cute supporting his costar/friend
Gonna be that person and ask if DNC is cancelled. Not sure why we can't just get a direct answer. By the way I love these types of nostalgia as well

degrassi omg...dang. So nostalgic
bahahaha “i think that’s pretentious”
I don't see him blowing up anytime soon.
Yea Aubrey is irrelevant now.. drake is killing it tho
He’s been rich since the beginning
Well-off yes but not rich
Rich now yes but drake said himself being on degrassi didn't pay much he only did it to help him mom financially
He acts like he grew up in housing projects in the ghetto with rats and roaches
Yeah hes than ever if u compare to where he is now to then.
Upper Middle class canadian
as a fellow jew it warmed my heart when he called his grandma bubbie
Crazy is how he wanted to sign with Jay Z too before he signed with Young Money
BBL Drizzy, before the BBL 🤣
Back when Degrassi was lit the early 2000’s 👌🏼
Bro idols really became his rivals (bro wearing a mosdeff shirt)
Paige/Lauren's voice sounds so different here compared to how she sounded on the show. 14:23
To think at the time if you’d told me he was going to be artist of the decade in the decade to come or this dude was going to have more number ones than Michael Jackson...I wouldn’t have believed you. Crazy that show isn’t what he’s going to be known for.
I remember watching this on tv years ago.
How is bros voice deeper here than now
Watch the UPSET music video. It's basically a REUNION for all his costars.
there’s too many clips in this video that folks will use as memes 💀💀💀💀

3:12 he has a Philly’s Most Wanted CD!!

Been taking lyrics since he was 3 😂😂
