Drake - Started From The Bottom

To me, the bottom has, is, and always will be "the struggle". Having to overcome or do without. If you're talking from a character, image, and personality standpoint, Drake has come from the bottom in a lot of ways. Having the woman you wanted to wife turn you down because of your corny image is struggle. Dealing with prejudice because of your unconventional upbringing and background is struggle. Making a serious musical push independently is struggle.

If we're talking socio-economically-- and not socially-- Drake did not come from the bottom. But if we're talking strictly from a social standpoint (Jewish, identifies hip-hop/urban, Canadian, unconventional (initially) musician, *gasp* a colored boy that didn't grow up dirt poor) then he did.
