U are stupid if you think niggas thought about bumping drizzy because he was was on a show, if anything it was more of a turn off for the hood and street obsessed scene

That’s not at all what I’m saying if you actually read my posts

Maybe it helped a little but if you think it helped a lot why do you think this hasn't happened with other tv "stars"? tv > music superstar isn't a regular thing

All I’m saying is that it probably helped with networking behind the scenes. I’m not saying people were like “oh shut the dude from degrassi raps now” (even though people definitely did say that back in 09 lol)

Wayne made drake popular not degrassi

I acknowledged that drake had to put in real work to get where he is

Again not what I’m saying

Olivia Rodrigo
Miley Cyrus
Ariana Grande
Selena Gomez
Donald Glover

TV to Music star happens all the time lmao

Ariana actually got her start on Broadway in the musical “Thirteen”

dont nobody know what that is lmao shes known for victorious

you a b****

Obviously

Her and Liz Gillies (Jade on Victorious) both starred in it

Just saying that’s where they got their major break to even enter the industry.

And the musical is insanely popular with people in the scene which is obviously not KTT

I’m not disagreeing w you btw I’m just giving you more info

come to the trenches and say that

Reported.

Not with rappers. Childish Gambino also had an issue getting people taking him seriously as a rapper.

Mannnn if you don't think the hook with Fergie has s***appeal idk what to say

If anything, Degrassi kept me from listening to Drake for a while cuz I couldn't take wheelchair Jimmy seriously as a rapper

Once again, not my point

So what do you mean by jumpstart? Strictly financially?

Just in terms of what goes on behind the scenes in terms of something like networking which is probably the biggest thing in the entertainment industry

Like I don’t think it’s far fetched to think that drakes acting agent probably knew someone drake could talk to when it came time to take music seriously.

My Turn is literally 4x platinum

And again, this isn’t taking away drakes abilities, in a situation like this, an introduction can be just that and go no further. But people obviously saw something in drake that made his career reach the sky

He didnt tap into s*** hes just white so white ppl who dont listen to rap or lil baby will still listen to harlow.
