With Drake preparing his second album, he took the time to think back to a simpler time. In 2009, Drake gained the attention of the entire rap world. Because of his history on "Degrassi," not many people thought Drake would become a rapper. But, his So Far Gone mixtape turned heads.
Recently, Drake was asked about his favorite lyrics and he went back to his breakthrough mixtape. His favorite lyrics come from his song, "The Calm." Drake said many of the lyrics in the song stemmed from a fight with his uncle. The man helped raise Drake, but they had a major argument.
Drake said that period of time was probably the lowest point of his life. At the time, he had no one to depend on in his family and it bothered him. Family troubles have been constant throughout his life, but he did not expect it to become so prominent at that stage of his life. But, the song helped propel the mixtape and Drake is in a much better position now.
