On Friday night (Feb. 1), Drake quietly posted "Started From The Bottom," the first single from his upcoming LP, to his website.
"I feel sometimes that people don't have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn't consistent with actual events," Drake wrote. " I did not buy my way into this spot and it was the furthest thing from easy to achieve. I am proud of every part of my past and I'm excited for this song to find a place in your life as well."
Cool story, bro. But how does the song stack up to the rest of Drake's catalog? And isn't he from an upper-middle class background-- what bottom could he possibly be referring to?
We polled a few critics/tastemakers for their thoughts.
