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...

:what: what new turn did drake take hiphop on? ALL HE DID WAS RIDE WAYNE'S WAVE AND USE HIS CONNECTIONS TO SECURE COLLABOS WITH EM,KANYE,WAYNE,JAY ETC.

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.

Just like sfg was an actual album with a major album push but marketwd as amixtape to make it seem more 'special'. I hope i get to know who u are a break ur jaw. That would make me smile.

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!

nikka IT DONT MATTER,they pushed drake as if he was some super buzz having nikka that blew up alone. when in fact he had mainstream video on bet 5 YEARS AGO! WITH A MAINSTREAM COLLABO. They actually brainwashed nikkas like yourself into believing he had a real buzz ala 50 cent.

Yes, a lady over at Rocafella who now works at Rocnation was interested in Drake but like other was hesitant to work with him because of his television roots...

Damn, him and Ye woulda had some classics together. I don't think Yeezy likes duke though. You could tell off the old tapes that he was a Yeezy/Wayne stan.

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.

exactly,you got nikkaz with record deals,that cant get a nomination off a mixtape and let's be real,we all know nikkaz that sale tapes. It's been plenty of hotter mixtapes than so far gone(,which had zero street buzz) ,from signed artists and they couldnt get regular rotation or a grammy nod,but yet DRAKE (WHO WAS NOT GETTIN BUMPED IN THESE STREETS AT ALL) just was soooooo hot,he had it like that. smh @ dummies
