Remember that music video where Drake states that he started from the bottom, like 50 times? Well, many people will tell you that's not true, at least in the comment section... But, is it? Or maybe, he doesn't mean that he "started from the bottom" in the financial context...
So, Drake's mother was an English teacher and it is well-known that he comes from a nice and educated family, unlike many rappers who came from the street and didn't even have a family. Many of them used their poverty as a motivation and that can be a big plus simply because when you are at the bottom, you have NOTHING to lose... You can only go up and it can only get better for you. However, Drake had to find his motivation somewhere else as he was already living a decent life and he didn't really have to hustle so hard. Many people say that the phrase "started from the bottom" means that he started from the bottom of the rap game, not in life. I mean, that's probably true, and it turned out really well for him as he used his, let's say, "uniqueness" to gain attention and make him stand out. There was once a study that showed Drake was one of the most "non-lyrical" rappers out there, with one of the most necessitous vocabularies in the rap game, using a small amount of words in his songs. Or maybe, he just wanted to prove that everything's possible in life and you can achieve everything you want, if you work hard enough... And Drake's success is undeniable, whether you like him or not.
