This was no surprise to me seeing Drake on this list knowing what his music is about. Most of his songs are about real life situations. What people feel when they are let down by others. What a guy like him had to go through in order to become who he is today.
These are the kinds of things that fans want to hear about. They want to know that someone as famous as Drake went through problems himself which a lot of his fans probably also go through. No one believed in him just like many others don’t believe in the select few out there that wants to accomplish something with their lives. It’s a shame that the world has came to this but it is the truth.
Eventually when those people stop listening to the bad influences that are against them, they will realize who they really are. They are just like Drake. Capable of breaking out of a brain washing shell that some people don’t realize they are in sometimes. Thankfully for some people like Drake, that shell is shown to not being unbreakable.
Drake is on the top of his game now because he is able to realize that he no longer has to listen to the drama of people who he thought would support him. Instead, he gets to believe in himself now. It is destined to be that when someone is the most selfless person in the world will always turn out to be the most selfish towards those who were always selfish to them when they needed something the most.
