I never knew dude from tv. I didn't know bout dude til so far gone dropped. He's dope to me. I don't like him singing too much, but his hook game is crazy, production team is dope, and his features are usually sick. I don't care if he's not good, cuz he Ali t all out there like officer ricky tellin u a bunch of :duck: in his songs. To the folks saying he should auto tune like tpain, the funny thing is he sounds like he does use auto tune a lot :laugh: :heh:

It’s the same sh*t how I used to say everybody thinks I went to some private school and my family was rich. Maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I haven’t talked enough about it, but I didn’t grow up happy. I wasn’t in a happy home.

My mother was very sick. We were very poor, like broke. The only money I had coming in was off of Canadian TV, which isn’t that much money when you break it down. A season of Canadian television is under a teacher’s salary, I’ll tell you that much. It’s definitely not something to go fu*king get.

Q: Every story has you growing up in this very affluent, all-Jewish neighborhood.

Here’s the thing, I grew up on Weston Road. That’s near the west end of the city. It’s not the nicest area in the world. I grew up there. I moved to Forest Hill in the sixth grade. So I didn’t grow up in Forest Hill. I grew up out there. My pictures are in the school, I’m sure. You can go check it out. I went to Weston Collegiate for summer school. I wasn’t always in Forest Hill.

My mother happens to be a Jewish woman. She wanted the best for her family. She found us a half of a house we could live in. The other people had the top half, we had the bottom half. I lived in the basement, my mom lived on the first floor. It was not big, it was not luxurious. It was what we could afford.

From there, I switched to a school called Vaughan Road, which again, is not by any means the easiest school to go to. It’s a tough school. I went to visit my dad in Memphis. I’ve been around a lot of sh*t in my life, and I just don’t solicit those stories. Those are just my stories man.

My life is mine to remember. Right now, I feel like I’m telling you this to prove something to you, and that bothers the fu*k out of me. Why does it matter? Do I make music you enjoy? Fine. What does it matter where I came from?

Is it going to make you feel better to know that, “Oh man, I used to hang out with Yo Gotti and his manager in Memphis, before his manager got locked up, and I almost got shot in Memphis on New Years Eve, because we used to play around with guns and sh*t.” Does that make you feel better? Does that make me more official all of a sudden?


I went to school with kids that were flying private jets. This guy distributes Rolex in Canada, and this person owns Turtle car wax, and this person owns Roots clothing, and I went to school with kids who were very fortunate. I never fit in. I was never accepted.


I don’t know, that’s why I never do it. What’s the point? Then it’s the flip side like, “So what? You think because...” I don’t know man. For me, when it comes to ever, ever trying to explain myself or defend myself, I just let the music speak for itself. That’s all I want to be judged on anyway. My life is my life. That’s all that should matter.

Of course, it’s never going to be all that matters, because people in this generation especially, are obsessed with details of your life. I guess that’s what it is. I always feel guilty that if I start really telling people past-time stories about what I actually used to do, and the fact that I didn’t have a father, because he was in jail two separate times.

He did a two-year bid and a three-year bid, I was there when he got taken down. We had just gotten back from Memphis. sh*t like that. I feel weird saying that sh*t, because why am I telling you this? It doesn’t have anything to do with my album, my music, who I am as a man. I’m doing it so readers can be like, “Aw man, fu*k. That makes it a little better. Cool.”

I’ve seen a lot man. I’ve seen a lot of life, put it that way. I’ve been with the most blessed kids in the world. I’ve been with people whose life is right at the bottom of the barrel. I was on a TV show, I went to art school, I went to hood schools. I’ve lived. I’ve lived a full 24 years man.


exhibit a of a lame.

nikka, you made under a teacher's salary underage.

with a basement apartment before you were probably ten.

just admit what you are and say i am aubrey as drake.

shyt is corny.....
i could respect these actor classically trained pixar reference track.

lie about my life rappers.

if they just said they do what female rappers do.
buy records and rev up the sexual content for their draw.

with a fabricated backstory, to help out the pr.

just like rick ross..

rick ross and even drake would be much bigger.

if he titled his shyt like a movie credit on some miley cyrus shyt.

then made their shyt be marketed as:

wiliam roberts as rick ross
aubrey as drake.

then, you would be really keeping it real.
then you could pr your writing pool.

crediting everyone like a movie cause y'all are comedic method actors like chunky A played by arsenio hall.

if you were in canada and worldly in the 2000's.
you would know canada. while the us was fronting on its own underground.
actually listened to all forms of lyrically proficient rap.
to the point even female rappers like sarai from canada in o3.

rapped eminem biter circles around american white girl l'trimm ya mama's on crack rock racist white rappers like kreayshawn.
a full decade predating drake, kos and their wackness.

emo/underground rap that now has been stolen and repackaged as sellout trash.

with a bigger budget on a major.
if you dudes were not late and lame!
you would not ever give drake credit.

dude is biting shyt,..you dumbasses fifteen years ago were not smart enough to listen to.

that nikka lol's to the bank at all you goof ass nikkaz.

i hate you uneducated fan motherfukkers!

who let these liar biter faced wack ass toys do this shyt, too.

nikka fukk,..y'all uneducated impressionable to pr and marketing run fake like you in the know ass fans.

i think he's talented. i can listen to him. not my first choice but he's not even half bad. the same people who hate usually post the gayest stuff on facebook, twitter, or pics of themselves on instagram.

this is the style of bullshyt drake is.

drake makes overproduced wannabe lyrically dated atmosphere/slum village/budden/lil brother emo redhead kingpin/father mc/pm dawn/chunky A meets yanni rnb pop styled records.

you dumbass, just don't know your history to know the difference.

just like y'all accept that puppies level trid-dash garbage.
ya mama's on crack rock level of 2000's lyricism as acceptable as well.

He's like Kobe Bryant..I fukking hate him but u can't deny he's talented. Hes the nerd in school that can draw really well. Watch that behind the scenes of degrasse vid w him on YouTube where he's in his crib w his mom/old Jewish grandmother . Peep how he talks/his mannerisms, his haircut lmao etc. Then watch a vid of him now on stage, it's like he went to swag school n tacked on a southern drawl lol. He's a poser to a certain extent but he pulls it off just enough for it to b believable.
