Hate to say it, but you right. Sorry Drake, but youz a lame son! You go from bein’ a punk on Degrassi (yeah I watched it Jimmy), to bein’ a narcissistic Canuck. You got an annoyin’ ass voice son. Quit that, and nut up. There ain’t no hoods in Canada nigga!

Hip Hop infiltrator. Swaggerless Jew who didnt get into hip until 2003 reinventing himself to find a new identity with us. Shit is disgusting. This “Drake” persona is CB4 Gusto status.

One more thing… Look at this bitch. Am I the only one who thinks it’s funny that when a Canuck gets just a lil shine, they hop on a plane quick to the US. They know Canada’s a piece o’ shit country and them niggas sprint for the border.
African boy. Shut up. You ain’t wanted. Funny how you dissin’ the US on a US made website (Info). Canada been ridin’ our coat tails since day one. Y’all know as the other country overseas haha!

I’ve always wondered how much were they paying those kids for the show? Also, the part where he described walking out of his History class and not returning..wasn’t that an episode of the show?

I don’t see what the problem is about Drake, he’s an decent to very good rapper (depending on how hard he tries because I know sometimes he be bs’n)that is still growing in the game. And I still don’t see where he’s trying to be “hard” or a “thug” or anything like that has him on Gusto from CB4 status, it’s not like he’s putting on a front, dude pretty much stays in his lane. It’s not like he goes around rappin’ about gun play or whatnot. Personally I think he’s been a breath of fresh air for the past year or so and I’m waitin’ for the album to drop.
