It's true that Drake didn't quite start from the bottom. But Aubrey Graham has certainly come a long way.

In the video below, a Degrassi era Drizzy takes you for a spin in his Acura (he calls Mercedes and BMWs "pretentious") and then invites you into his mom's house.

Highlights include Drake's CD collection, notebooks and notebooks of lyrics, his mom explaining how he displayed his musical talent from a young age, and a rapping grandmother.

Now that you've seen his beginnings, do you have more respect for where Drake ended up?
