My good friends,
It has truly been too long. I assume you’re all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don’t have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn’t consistent with actual events. My family and my second family (consisting of the best friends anybody could ever have) all struggled and worked extremely hard to make all this happen. I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I’m excited for this song to find a place in your life as well. I didn’t feel I needed any interviews or radio or press to launch this song. It felt right to come back to the site that I started on and release it to the people that started here with me. Judging by this post, the tour that we’ve been planning, the conversations about new songs and album artwork…I think it’s safe to say we’re back together again. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.“You don’t have to ask me how I’m doing…just listen to the music” – K.Samir
Drake drops his much anticipated single, “Started From The Bottom.” Does he have a hit?

Wow….
Trash.
What a lazy song, did he come up with this while watching tv or what?
d o p e
cosign.. this is official, another hot 100 easy
decent album track not good as a single or street single.. but hook catchy
that was super short… but i like it, not for a single
fux with his new voice (pause)…lyrics wack as fuk tho lol
This should be an ITunes bonus track lol …. But definitely not a hit but then again neither was headlines ….. The album will still do great
This is a berry lazy song. Drake is much better than this, this sounds like something the YOUNG drake would put together. This sounds like weexy was involved.
Na ain’t feeling it
Not feeling it. Think about some of his past debut singles; Successful, Over, Headlines. This doesn’t even come close to any of them (and Over wasn’t that hot to begin with). Now’s not the time for Drake to stop resting on his past.
Not feelin it all his first singles always go hard but this is not on that level.
Annnnnother one. Nice
Y’all don’t feeling it but wait till the DJs start playing it in the clubs… it’s gon be a whole other story
doubt this is his single for the new album
this probly just some shit to tide niggas over
Probably
love it !!!!!!
ive heard better
I fux with it
This is the first time he dropped a single without a melody on it. Not sure what to think, i kinda like it.
Its no Over or Headlines tho…
The beat is pleasing, but the letter posted on his blog had more substance than the song. In the letter he made it seem as if the song would describe his struggle from the bottom to the top, but the only verse that described his struggle was the line about him and his mother arguing.
Thats a valid point, I agree he did not going into depth as the letter made me think it would.
u aint start from da bottom faget
Its not the best song but its ok. I think its better then Over and its kinda catchy
This that meme music, guaranteed to have those lame pictures with the 2 bar lyrics over top of it that females always like on Facebook/instagram/whatever hahah, just be prepared for the hashtag #StartedFromTheBottom. Should have been wayyy better, no content but its catchy.
cosign this. that meme shit smh women live for those dumb ass things. put a picture of abraham lincoln up and write yolo on it these broads will eat it up.
lmao everybody hashtagging started fron the bottom
It is catchy but I dont know about a single, it is very short. Probably just a tease as a bonus track.
Drake has wack singles but they will get played. His brand is at the point where it dont matter, fake hip hop fans will love it just like they did HYFR.
see dont confuse creative with laziness.. sounds DOPE just not the RADIO trend you jack mouth idiots [pay}much attention too. but im just venting .me.. AND he;s prolly just doing him.. FAN or NOT?
CRAP. Real talk.
Shite song… p iss of drake with your bull s hit
Tune
Yezzir.
hahaha Yezzir my nigga Yezzir
feeling the song.
to answer your question: this is not a hit single but it’ll still be on the charts due to his fan base.
Did ya’ll even LISTEN to the song? Did ya’ll get the meaning behind it? I guess ya’ll used to rappers talking about things they see in gangsta movies, anybody that had to struggle at first to get where they at now will feel it. Gonna shoot to the top of the charts.
You right this will shoot to the top of the charts, but compared to his past singles this is pretty weak considering the anticipation behind it.
Not feeling this he needs to go back to his old style like comeback season
IF DEGRASSI IS THE BOTTOM, THEN WHERE THE FUCK DID I START? MIDDLE EARTH?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahhaha coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold!
@ ronnie coleman lmao! really tho but im feeling this track it’s not all i expected from drake but i kno he’s gonna follow up with better than this!..and yea it could be a hit simply bc of his fan base and i got mad friends on fb already quoting this song..seriously with the state of hiphop now it’s refreshing to hear anything by Drake!
Could have been better had more intricate lyrics been recited than a supposedly ‘catchy’ hook. No hate on Drake but come harder.
yall niggas act like he was born on degrassi or something. didnt he have to work hard to get on degrassi?? and just cuz u seen somebody on tv dont mean they rich, the stars are rich. i went to a pizza spot in the city and our waitress was an actress on law and order svu. i make more than her, and i feel like i’m at the bottom.
song is ok, i feel like i dont get it yet, and after a few weeks it’ll creep up on you and be real good.
They act like an ensemble cast of teen actors make millions and that show was in canada so he was probably still making way less than american actors and wasn’t his mother sick, so those cheques prolly went to health care, what he did after the show is what he should have talked about more
SO there you have it words flowing like magic its truely accurate these rappers posing like some hoes up in a beauty pagent J.COLE
dope shit i like
degrassi the bottom lmao yall 2 funny brah but i think he was saying shit was easy as people think it was for him this aint a single i think its just a new song drake affects pop culture so now watch these bitches post it on face book but he started from the bottom most of dem live at the bottom forever
Definitely not a HIt.
dont feel none of young money artists i love real hip hop not commerical wackness
Nothing special.
its no headlines but by the 2nd or third listen you get addicted
“Started from the Bottom and now we here” – Drake
Best line of the year!!!! Oh yea, we’re only 30 days into 2013. haha
degrassi is not ballin. its a local Toronto shows that pays some of the lowest wages you can get on tv. lol and anyone think your rich because you were a star on degrassi .i know some many people that have been extra/ star on it ist like working t McDonald for tv shows
its a hit. fukkk wut u heard.
First of all he’s rapping like French Montana!!He stole flows his whole career and nobody ever noticed..He’s unoriginal as fuck..Wake up assholes!!!
Well regardless of if he grew up rich or not the song is still whack it will only grow on his fans which consist of typical women teenagers and young punks that grew up in this fraudulent era
All we need now is skreetch from saved by the bell to turn rapper blow up and we are good to go him and Aubrey drake graham cracker can do a song called we the realist and everybody will follow suit and say idc if he’s not real he makes good music wtf has the world come to if u tell the truth ur considered a hater this generation of idiots seem to love liars this song is a disgrace to the title of it hot cross buns
ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
he sounds like he trynna rap like 2 chaiz , decent track not real fire tho
