Shortly before winning his first Grammy for Best Rap Album for his second album, Drake explained the meaning behind the lead single for his third.
“It was about the misinterpretation of me as a person,” explained Drizzy of “Started From the Bottom” 
in an interview with Rap-Up TV. “I feel like I don’t say enough and people have their own preconceived stories about what I’ve been through. I’m just sort of excited about that song. It means a lot to me and my friends and what we’ve done to get to this position.”
Drake also hinted that an official remix to the track would be dropping. A video for the song has already dropped.
Watch the interview below:
Earlier this week, Drake revealed that the title of his third album would be Nothing Was the Same.

I started from the bottom too and I’m still trying to get to the top.
OVOXO,your girlfriend at my next show.
#Don’t hate congratulate.
Started from Degrassi, now he’s here.
LMAO hahahaha
I didn’t catch the joke. He not rapping about being from the ghetto nor being a gang member. He a “Will Smith” type of rapper, so Degrassi ain’t hurting his career.
i’d take his version of the ‘bottom’ any day of the week. he’s a rich jew actor, i don’t care how many retarded gremlins from louisiana try to convince me otherwise
he means started from the bottom of the music industry not literally being dirt poor! listen to the song closely
Started in a bottom, now we queer

Do your thing Drake. In a few more years these non-believer’s will be eating their words. Keep grinding don’t take this shit personal. It’s just the society we live in. People are just ignorant and opinionated. They love these fake thugs on these records, though. Have none of the material shit they be poppin’ about, but these losers look up to them, LMAO.
