First things first, amidst all the Drizzy Drake haters out there, I'm a big fan of both Cole and Drake. I feel that they definitely are great in their own manner for what they bring to the plate today with this weaker generation of artists out there. I can see why a lot of people "hate" Drake for the fact that he didn't really have a life story on the same "street" level as an Eminem, Mobb Deep, Notorious BIG, etc.
However, why does everyone seem to overlook the fact that Cole went to college in NYC on a scholarship after coming from a hick town in North Carolina who played on the bball team in high school?! Homie just did an interview that before he blew up, he had on office job in NYC in which his apartment manager gave him breaks on his rent and took it easy on his transition from the "after college life" to being a star.
I understand Drake isn't an Eazy E coming up gangbanging, but Cole is no Daz Dillinger by any means either! His biggest issue before putting out the Warm Up must have been getting to the rec center before it closed for pickup games, or figuring out the name to one of the shorty's that lived in his dorm...
