i tried googling this but I can’t find a direct answer and i know one of you drake stans will tell me.

what age was drake when he first started dropping music? i know he was on degrassi prior.
& what age was he was released his first mainstream album? (give me the name too)

Blessings,
Gods Plan

First album - 2010 - thank me later (23)

First mixtape - 2006 - room for improvement (19)

Prob some earlier stuff before that tho

damn this made me realize kids really popping younger & younger nowadays.

For what it’s worth drake and Kanye are still what people are mostly listening to. According to statistics.

Youngins don’t have much to look forward to.

wait a minute

did drake showcase his rapping skills EARLY in degrassi? what the f***
that’s like some ariana grande type s***

classic verse

didn't he rap earlier than this on the show too

edit: yep

Oh s*** I forgot about this one
I need to run that whole series back again such a goat show

Yeah it seems like the younger rappers have a hard time finding substance in their music later on in life because they are stuck in a mentality where they think about rapping about the same s*** keeps them popping... Or end up sounding repetitive as s*** which why I’m assuming someone like XXXtentacion started becoming more versatile with music early in his career. (not wanting to be known for only rapping on distorted s***)

been thinking about doing this for years now idk what held me back. i see that they have full official episodes on youtube too

OG cast was amazing

NAAAH THIS IS LIGHTSKIN DRIZZY FLOW

Yep me and my gf watched all of it on YouTube last year s*** was goat

If I ever have kids I’m making them watch that s***. Such a great and honest portrayal of adolescence with a lot of valuable lessons imo

Started as soon as Lil Wayne

This for first album

But obviously SFG was a big deal (2009 - age 22)

Room for Improvement had a song on BET (2006 - age 19)
