Rap-Up.com || Video: Drake – ‘Started From the Bottom’

Drake celebrates his Grammy win for Best Rap Album for Take Care by releasing the video for “Started From the Bottom,” which he co-directed with X.

The Canadian superstar returns home to Toronto to shoot the comedic clip, which features appearances from his mother, Boi-1da, Noah “40″ Shebib, and other members of his OVO crew.

“I just tore the sleeve off my Saint Laurent!!! Thank you all! I am so happy!” tweeted Drizzy after his Grammy win.

The song serves as the first single off his upcoming third album.

RIP Hip-Hop.

Born 1977 in the streets of the Bronx.
Died 2013 when Drake’s album won the Grammy for Best Rap Album (over Nas & Lupe Fiasco’s MUCH BETTER albums).

@Shutterbug,

Well I wouldn’t go into such proportions, but even though I enjoyed Drake’s Take Care very much, I think Nas’ Life Is Good should’ve won it, for many reasons.

Maybe they still haven’t forgotten him for that “Nigger” stunt he pulled in ’08 with Kelis.

@mamba, I agree with you a lot. Drakes last few albums have been great, but this track isnt really up to his usual standard

@Tony, wrong. He still had white friends.

The song is alright. Not a strong lead single.

Drake is an AMAZING rapper.
He doesn’t act like anything he’s not.
He remains his humble and intelligent self.
He has lyrics that people can relate to and that’s why he’s so successful.
I don’t care who hates on him, he is running the game right now. He’s so talented and Take Care is perfect.
Nothing Was The Same.

typical drake, sounds different but he never strays from rapping about how he made it and what it took to get there.

music video made me like the song a lot more, and the wiz khalifa remix is the shit #ovosound
