Was Drake really signed before "So Far Gone"

[Rominati]

Dude been signed, wasnt that tape he did with DJ Smallz before So far gone had YM imprint on it or some shyt. Dude is a plant, not saying he isnt talented, but he definitely did not do it without a label backing him. 50 Did though

Wasnt fif on columbia bruh bruh

Contrary to popular belief he was not signed. Let these conspiracy theory having nikkaz cook up every plot they can think of but dude did it himself. Put his own money up for so far gone. The Wayne features happened because he was a vig Wayne stan. Lil J hooked them 2 up.

nikkaz can speculate and talk about industry plants all day but he aint one of them. Its just convenient to hate a dude on top. Love or hate his music but respect the grind.

I witnesses his career transition from a Toronto nobody and I hate when lames concoct these fake histories. Stop gossiping like bytches, he was NOT signed.

Nobody gets the radio play drake got without a label pushing it. That's fact. These drake stans are either naive, ignorant or on a drake Internet street team. Replacement girl didn't get any real spins because drake was on his own at that point.

He was signed... to Young Money... what part of that don't nikkaz get?

He had no Major behind him though... dude really caught on by being a breathe of fresh air around the time when that Atl music was dying & cats started looking away from artists like Shawty Lo & Yung Joc & started paying attention to the Asher Roth's & Kid Cudi's of music...

Drake was your once in a great while freak of nature buzz artist...

Cats who say he was signed don't understand the difference between having no paperwork at all & having resources...

You hate Drake so much and he has no clue you're alive.

No i know he does. Lol. Id tell my story on a big scale if i could vut i cant right now.

His whole come up was real but the story behond it is fraudulant. Dont care how u spin it. The evidence is right there. Gettin grammy nominations off a demo? No wonder ppl make fun of the grammies and how wack they do things.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Uh huh. And he just so happens to come out on the label that everybody assumed he was on? Right. It's obvious he was signed. Give it up.


Seriously though, how much do you get paid to plant this information to people on the Internet?

This isn't a fairy tale(even though drake is a fukkin fairy) this is the record industry.

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

Ok... it's clear you're just a hater...

Your an idiot...

Radio didnt even know who Drake was... he was getting spins in clubs before radio. Watch the infamous hot 97 appearance. Flex didnt even know who he was. Radio was late on the Drake hype... his career was born online, he got on rotation waaaay late.


If yall wanna speculate at least do some basic research. Its the internet and u can find anythjng u need to know on it or keep making up unfounded bullshyt claims like clowns do.


This thread is all types of pathetic considering how much all this played out in the open and online for all to witness, let alone less than 5 years ago. Put down the drugs if yall minds are that hazy about recent events.

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

Ppl here makin it seem like he came up like 50. U cant rewrite history for ppl that witnessed it.

Yeah man, dudes are just haters...

N1ggaz wanna act like pay ola dont exist and everything was organic. Lol. Damn.

 

[Breh Obama]

What alot of you dont understand,realize, or comprehend is a label like Young Money, MMG, Bad Boy, Shady, etc, are not majors. They are actually subsidiary labels and those labels are signed to a major. So it is possible to be signed on YMCMB as far as management goes but Universal is the real marketing and distrubution. Its the same thing with Gunplay recently signing a solo deal with Def Jam while MMG`s parent is Warner. Education is always the key!

"Best I Ever Had" was an undeniable record at the time it came out...

There is no such thing as organic... but Drake's rise to the top was no different then anybody elses he just happened to win... some nikkaz don't get there...

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

So why can drake get a grammy nomination off a mixtape yet 50. Along with others. was the one essentially made the most popular mixtapes befoee he blew up?

I think sfg was an alvum with a major label push that was disguised as a mixtape. His whole career is a damn spin.

Whats fradulent? Please let us know. ..


Grammies only care about sales and popularity. Everyone knew he would sell when he dropped. Of course they jocked him lol.
