How u forget ob obrien 🤷🏾♂️
word
And that other white dude in the started from the bottom video .
“Yo ob your girls on the phone man she sounds super pregnant bro”
corbin tingling I haven’t seen him and Ryan around ovo in a long time not like 2014
@@shs646 the white dude was OB Obrien and the other guy is arab
No matter how u feel about the man u gotta respect the fact that over a decade later he is still with the core people that believed in him. How many other artists as big as him can say that?
Ehh true but to be honest Drake has kinda fallen off musically after 2016. He still dominates the charts but the music he makes now are intentionally dumbed down and repetative. Look at songs like Toosie slide, wtf was that? Even God's Plan had the same formula but it was slightly better.
@@lethalspecter he literally just put out Chicago Freestyle & When To Say When...
Definitely missed Ryan & OB! TOPSZN days were some of the best 😭 I believe Ryan & Drake are related & OB is a old friend as well! He even acted with Drake & Mazin in their pilot “Us & Them” as Wendell lol. ❤️
6 PM in New York is a hugely underrated classic
Joel Samuel it definitely is ... what about this ??

I'm disappointed Genius how do you not mention OB Obrien, Preme, and Ryan theyve been with Drake from the jump as well🤦🏾♂️.
No cap!!
ovomark or gelo?
They switched up
@@Korenstein1 how?
@@RadeenChoudhury and they forgot ovorox
Loyalty is everything 🙏🏻
Yes, loyalty over love
Theo Skudra puts in work crazy
"they're all not to be trusted💅"
How about those two guys from the started from the bottom video? The shop scene
Study Greatness & Dont Envy It, Become It.
Jas Prince, Hush, OB, Preme, Fif etc it’s a tight circle but a lot more in there.
Toronto tings!
Y’all forgot OB O’Brien, OVO Ryan, Fif (RIP) and P. Reign (now Preme)
You missed OB O’Brien and Noah Silverstein (The two friends from the Started From The Bottom Video)
They’ve been together since high school and OB was signed to OVO at a point
Noah??? You mean Drake's cousin Ryan? Noah is 40.
You missed Mark, CJ, Noel, OB, Ryan, etc
The biggest Artist
Definition of true friendship 🤝
drake is a legend. no way around it
You didn't mention Anthony Soares (the guy who was gunned down in Toronto) I thought he was one of Drake's best friends.
The 🐐
nah definitely not
I was waiting to here about Hush "Neeks got the weed, Hush got a gun
CJ got my credit cards and a lot of ones" - miss me
Moral to the Story Keep Your circle To a Minimum
Great video fir the goat 🐐 OVO
Good to see Prince Future included. Ciyalka xafada!
M Man what about this ???
th-cam.com/video/-4hVktxMFW8/w-d-xo.html
Roxx, OB, Ryan, Gibbo, Preme and all of Reps Up/ Unruly
Thank you for this! It’s awesome to see the people behind the scenes!
You gotta do HOV!
Drake the only nigga out here consistently dominating the game
O'Brian... Missed!
Bravo genuis, great video
He’s holding all of them and anybody signed to ovo back
I heard Drake say once that him and 40 are Drake. Without 40, it might not have happened for him.
Niko, 40, Oliver (Oli), Boi 1da, Future, Chubbz, Baka
Y’all missed Jas Prince. Without him Drake wouldn’t even have gotten noticed. He literally mentions Jas after 0:50 and you guys still didn’t go do your research. Jas Prince is the son of James Prince.
Dope video 💯
Kevin Martinez def dope ... what about this ??

Who is the guy in the red hoodie at 0:43 ??? I have been searching for him for years!!
That's lebron
Lebron James?? That is not lebron james the basketball player@@filip9220
@@halodoing I know. It's Lebron James the golf swimmer.
Gotta love how 90% of this video isn't about pain 1993
whatever happened brien and ryan?
Y’all forgot fifth RIP
Ovo mark
wonder what happened to OB
Y'all forgot ovorox
Whether you like him or hate him. He's going to be going down as a legend in mainstream hip hop. I dont mean "mainstream" as a bad thing. I know people that listen to mostly to country that love listening to Drake. They know how to make music that can make anyone to bump to it.
Nelson Orozco Everyone knows this. He could’ve quit after NWTS and still would’ve been a legend
@@reach831 "if I die, I'm a legend" - Drake 2015
Not just mainstream, most real hip hop heads and lyrical artist fuck with and recognize Drake. From Jayz, J prince, Nas, Joe Budden, J Cole, ect. It's really mainly the suburban kids that think they know hip hop that love to hate on and meme Drake while they think 69 is the hardest dude alive 🤦🏿♂️
Will Reese facts. You know real music you like drake. People that think uzi and carti are good rappers are the ones that criticize old rappers or hip hop artists like drake
I think people like to joke on him because it's trendy but you're honestly lying to yourself if you listen to mainstream hip hop (which most people do) and don't consider him to be a top3 artist since So Far Gone (2009/2010?). He's insanely talented and puts out hit after hit with many different styles.
The bond between them all is so admirable. Drake has been through a lot publicly and privately and none of them ever switched up.
Too much money there to fuck up no point doing so
40 spilled the tea on Drake tho ..
@@Wesleyan83 says who? Pusha.. Use your own brain
hd motivated it was never even denied? Lmao use yours too bro
@@Wesleyan83 it was denied.. Drake on the shop... So push makes a diss track and disses 40 but doesn't mention that 40 told him until kanye was getting killed for it..😂😂😂😂 and push gonna trust that type of info from a slut 40 is fucking? 😂😂😂
The bars hit so much harder when I know who he’s referencing 🔥
Who the mole
The more don't exist kendrick was played
The mole don't exist kendrick was played.
😂😂😂
This didn't age well😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@awelechukwuemeka1382
Chubbs and Baka are OG gangsters from Scarborough, theres a reason why Drake keeps them around
Chubbs definitely doesn't look like it... Those are the ones you should really be scared of
Krishan Kasandas ....your right Baka an OG in the Six 💯
Chubby definitely has that “Dont judge a book by the cover”
Baka I can definitely believe cause he was locked up for human trafficking... Crazy shit
No funny shit but I didn’t think Canada is a place where people get active. What I’ve heard is it’s peaceful up there.
chubbs was with drake before he blew up
"My circle got so small that it's a period"
Drake -100
for those of you saying wayne it makes sense why you’d think that but they’re covering the people the kind of work for him if you’ve noticed their roles . people that are core members of OVO . wayne isn’t OVO despite him not being mentioned .
*work with him
No he had right, for.
vERMONTBLONDE they work with him. Not for him, big differences. I agree with everything else else you wrote though.
who else came here for chubbs?
Drake: No new friends, No new friends, No new friends...
𝐃𝐉 𝐊𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐃
SyrupMaster still down with my day 804,one new friend,one new friend
ARE THE DRAKE VOCALS IN YET
Cant hate on loyalty, it's one of the most valuable attributes in a person
Drake has done something that very few have done, and that's keep his squad together. 40, Oliver, Chubbs, etc. He seems loyal to those loyal to him
Don’t forget J Prince who found Drake on MySpace and sent him a messaging saying “I’m gonna make you famous”. Then proceeded to introduce Drake to Lil Wayne and get him signed to cash money.
crazy to see how tight they always have been
MISSED: OVO Hush • Tez • OB Obrien • Preme • Gelo • OVO Ryan • OVO Roxx • OVO Mark• CJ • OVO Noel • OVO Riich • Jas Prince • TvGucci
P-Reign is Preme old name bruh
Jas prince is rap a lot he found drake when Wayne was starting young money

Preme, OB O'brien, and Ryan. You guys forgot these 3 🤦♂️
Alberto Gomez But they did mention Lebron, ykno, Lebron James who’s always with Drake? They practically grew up together right?
@@JaeeMercer fr smh 💀
They have to make him look tough can’t have ob O’Brien a d Ryan there
@@TheSpirit. so 40 & oliver comes off as tough?
Alberto Gomez mark and gelo
bruh i'm just waiting on a OVOXO collab man
JaskaB won’t ever happen
The Spirit are they beefin or why wouldnt it happen? I think drake even said something about ovoxo linkup may in the war song
Elbard Koege nah the weeknd doesn’t fuck with him they’ll never be a collab I’m telling you
They do have one song together but I forgot the name of it, it’s a Weeknd song featuring drake pretty sure
MBJ920 the zone crew love and few more on take care that was 7 years ago
Yall forgot P. Reign / Preme...
The fact that Chubs whose such an OG gangster was with Drizzy before Drake blew up or even become a mini star in the 6 really makes me wonder how Gangster Drake might really be, cause if you look at Chubbs he don't even look gangster at all, but yo
Show me your friends and I'll show you your future..
We need people around us with the same goals good intentions investments🤝
Strong words 🙏🏿
Siete soundcloud.com/user-3909721/yvngvdz-break-up
OVO Ryan, Preme, Night Owl Sound, OB O'Brien, Weezy
🤜🏽🤛🏽I was looking for Weezy, OB O'Brien, Ryan & Preme they are part of the inner circle I don't know night owl sound though.
Peter don’t forget ovoroxx and ovomark
You forgot OVO Akademiks
Ovo allen
LMFAO wasn't he the one saying that OVO is Drake's sweatshop
😂😂😂💀💀💀
Never forget Soulja Boy created OVO
@@puccimane2248 the OG
The Lebron connection is a bit of a stretch, but pretty cool Drake came up with the same circle.
Hard to do in entertainment.
Nah bron and drake been cool since 08
LeBron literally said that him and Drake are brothers.
Julian They’ve been friends for over 10 years so it’s not a reach. They’re pretty close
Julian
Nah drake and Lebron go back to like 09 from the forever shoot
I remember drake saying that they have a group chat where they text bars to each other so yeh they’re pretty close
Been linked since ‘07 (south beach).
It hurts that people don't appreciate the good music Drake puts out, because this man sacrifices a lot just for us to hear. Love him now not when he goes.
frr
“It's just me, 40, O, and Nik standing in a huddle

Once said and done, Drake will be hands down the greatest artist of all time. If you disagree, you're just a hater period.
biggest fax I've seen all year
No cap🧢
I agree but I'll keep playing his music regardless.
Tupac better
Y'all forgot Johnny Roxx(Jay), Gelo, Mark, Preme (P), Jas Prince, TV Gucci, CJ, OB Brein and Ryan.
We missed something ?
Yes, this :
"OVOXO link up, mandem drink up, me and the drillers
Hawk and Sticks and Cash and Baka, Gucci, P, and Gilla
And the boy that sound like he sang on Thriller, you know that's been my nigga
Yeah, we just had to fix things, family, 6ix tings, we can't split up"
He mentions Lil Wayne in like a thousand songs
