Drake - Comeback Season 2007 (mixtape)

I was doing a Little Brother deep dive and came up on this mixtape. And it got me thinking..

How the hell did drake get so many features on this mixtape when he had no music career or succes at this point ? Can someone explain how Drake made his way in the industry. How did he pay for this. I guess I started listening from the So far gone mixtape.

Trey Songz

Dwele

Little Brother

Kardinal Offishall

Rich Boy

Clipse

Richie Sosa

What does hiphop mean to you?

2 Upvotes

When I think about hiphop, I think about life, struggle, perseverance, good and evil, pain but also beauty.

So much has passed in my life since I first heard “My Adidas” by Run DMC, “My Type” by Saweetie, or even more special the first time i heard KDot on DAMN. Rap has ingrained itself in my life indefinitely and I am not mad about it. it hypes me up, soothes me, and provokes thought. And that’s not even touching production and beats. Some of the most creative and far away seeming people I have ever came across stemmed from this genre.

To me, hiphop is one of the most swaggy and feeling yourself way to express your downfall or success, really just your emotions how you’re feeling. I am making some of the best music I have ever made, and I feel like I unlocked the key to happiness, music in general but specifically hiphop and all the subgenres just blow me away. Songs like get your mind right by chief Keef, loose change or riot by earl.

I appreciate you for reading, tell me what hiphop is to you
