for the ones…

That lived through the Post-TML drake drought with no new music and scoured ktt waiting for Take Care

That remember the skip on Over My Dead Body and anticipated for a week or two getting to hear The Ride

That lived through the legendary year of Francisco Mandarin

That stalked OVO’s every movement as they were filming the Started From Thr Bottom video and defended Drake to death when SFTB dropped and people thought it wasn’t even him rapping

That were in the Hold On Were Going Home thread as Majid Jordan was introduced to the world and Drake came with a brand new sound

That experienced 5AM in Toronto dropping as Drake decimated the entire rap game and rap media complex

That lived through the Nothing Was The Same leak and release

That scoured the internet for clues leading up to the surprise drop of If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late

That witnessed Drake put the rap game on notice with IYRITL

That watched Drake kill a man’s career and clown him on the OVOFEST stage..only to singlehandedly revive that man’s career when he saw fit

That watched a classic collab mixtape in What A Time To Be Alive get cooked up and given to the world in a week’s time

That were around when a snippet of Sweeterman showed up on KTT, kicking off Drake’s island vibes run, and giving is yet another classic remix in the process

That sat through OVO Sound Radio episode after episode, getting updates on VIEWS and finding so much new great music in the process

That played the Downtown Whippin snippet hundreds of times over, and then finally got to hear the full song when we got to Feel No Ways on Views…and then found out in an interview that had that snippet never leaked Drake & 40 probably would have cut the song from the album. The world owes a debt to that snippet leaking.

That watched Drake turn into an international star with the release of Views

That anticipated Certified Lover Boy for months. Setback after setback. Rumor after rumor.

I just want to say that we made it. Aubrey Drake Graham is about to bless us our eardrums yet again.
