For me, it was after I heard Comeback Season in November 2007. I knew he'd keep making music and keep getting better but I definitely didn't think he'd make such a jump artistically with So Far Gone and I definitely didn't think he'd become a massive commercial superstar.

2005. all these new fans came after comeback season and it was never the same

🧢

What was he putting out in 2005

Hearing Best I Ever had at 11 years old. Hearing this nigga sing just as good as he could rap wen he was running around with Wayne in 09–2010. And I was only 11 years old. I could only imagine wat the forum nerds back then was thinking

hes always been a star in my eyes but the summer 2015 w the meek beef, post iyrtitl, fetty wap my way, hotline bling, the buildup to views, the ubiquity is when i realized he is the goat

Best i ever had easily. Song is a classic

admittingly, I used to dislike drake for a stupid reason, but then take care took over my life

5am in Toronto, maybe Started from the bottom

Literally changed peoples opinion on Drake
If you know you know

Headlines music video

I think I was iffy about him until like 2011/2012 but I think the talent was always apparent from Best I Ever Had which was the first time I heard him and the rest of So Far Gone

Just Hold on We’re Going Home

y'all old as s*** but what was his reputation before best i ever had? did people think he was just another pop rapper or he was going to flop or?

Depended on who you asked at that time. Some people still saw him as a backpacker/hipster rapper, some would say he was a son of Wayne

did anyone ever think he'd be bigger than Wayne? How big was he compared to everyone else on young money

Yes

I'm so concerned at how and when young people found this site

Y'all niggas was like in middle school in '13

I mean I’m sure people did, he immediately became the YM flagship artists it was unanimously agreed he was the best signee

im 23 that's like the target age for this site relax man

"Target age" you were like 10 when the first one was started

When the second song on TML was karaoke I knew he was a legend.

It wasn’t until I heard over my dead body that I knew with 100% certainty honestly

When I heard his verse on Every Girl
