There's no need to deny it. That's the really Drake's best attribute and the main reason he bew up. Unless you have some other explanation as to why he became so popular.

Because Wayne promoted him. Almost every person in YM is only famous because Wayne put them on the map.

Maybe Lil Wayne was a Degrassi fan

But he was popular before YMCMB. the So Far Gone Mixtape, Best I Ever Had, Successful. All of that was before the Wayne help (other than 1 petty feature on Dedication 3).

Lil Wayne is on 4 songs off that tape, including Successful. No body really knew anything about him until Wayne got to him.

despite his "talent", He probably wouldn't have been anything special without Wayne.

And only 2 of them were hot.
The mixtape was still highly regarded by critics, and two good Wayne features aren't the sole reasons for that.
So while Wayne did bring him to stardom, he didn't take him to the spotlight.

You think Wayne made him famous from So Far Gone, obviously he didn't. Agree to disagree.

Drake, Nicki Minaj, and every other artist suckling at Wayne's teets are famous because Wayne put them on, gave them a shot and some notoriety in the first place. Without Wayne, Drake would just be some dude named Aubrey from Canada talking about that time he was on that TV show.

You're right. It was Wayne and Bun B on that one song that made that mixtape.

And like I said, So Far Gone was the introduction of Drake and from that point Wayne brought him to stardom.
The "So Far Gone" that was released under OVO and considered one of the top mixtapes of the decade by Complex magazine.
Therefore, Drake garnered publicity before Wayne threw him on the YMCMB train.

Wayne started promoting him before he signed him with YM. Hence him and other bigger named artists appearing on the tape.

What's so funny about a fact?
Or you laughed because it isn't one of your top mixtapes of the decade?

You're obviously a huge fan so there isn't anything that I could say that would change your opinion.

Naw, I was just asking. I thought you didn't believe the statement or something.
ETA: I'm not saying it's in my top 5 if you thought that's what I was implying
