Why Is Drake So Relatable??

Jimmy Brooks' character wall.

Drake before one of his Club Paradise shows.

Drake is mostly known as Jimmy Brooks or Wheelchair Jimmy. He's perfectly content with the phrase. But thinking about the show itself, the Degrassi franchise has always had a complex storyline. Drake, coming from a divorced (or broken) home already makes it easier for some people to understand a little of why he is the way he is. He has money, he's young and him and his dad don't have the best of relationships, of course he'd act out. But the fact that in the show, his family didn't have much time for him and he had a big heart, showed a more compassionate side of him. You would never hear Lil Wayne or Jay-Z talk about acting in a show where they had to be in a wheelchair or have an awkward hairstyle. Drake, doing the unthinkable and trying to merge into the music world is a lot to ask for when anybody will clown you for anything is something that shows....chase any dream that you think you will be good at. But regarding his music, he makes music for the heart. Drake's always singing about emotions and love and how she made him feel and how lonely he gets and if he kissed you. Drake has related to teenagers with similar parental backgrounds, best friends that get you shot and girlfriends that don't understand or know how to treat you. I know I'm all over this place with this post but bottom line, Drake's a remarkable guy. He sings, he raps, he acts. But he also makes it a point to understand us on a more personal level.
