Drake grew up in an upper middle class family in Canada and even starred in a teen drama called Degrassi: The Next Generation but his new video for “5AM in Toronto” portrays a completely different image. In fact, the clip depicts the rapper at the extreme opposite of the social spectrum as a goon.
Smoking, drinking from plastic cups and hanging with a squad of half naked girls in the club, Drake uses “5AM in Toronto” to paint the picture that he is down with the bitches and hoes. Of course, some of you can’t separate the illusions of the media from the facts so let me keep my “hate” to myself.
“That might be like my first viral video,” Drake said upon the release of the “5AM in Toronto” video. Doing it for the city this time around. Well every time but this time especially.” I bet Drake never saw this side of the city until he was well into his twenties.
