Toronto Questions Drake Billboard
Drake recently erected a billboard in his Toronto hometown to promote his new album, Take Care. The ad features the city’s population and utilizes the font as the official Welcoming Sign. City spokeswoman Francine Antoino-Forte told local newspaper, The Star:
“We would suggest that the treatment of the word Toronto used on the billboard is very similar to the wordmark that forms part of the Toronto logo. The similarity of the wordmarks, in conjunction with other creative elements used for the billboard, may cause some confusion about the source of the information. While the city is proud of its local and international talent, we have a general practice of reviewing and addressing reported or known cases related to the possible misuse of the Toronto logo.

this has the Mayor Rob Ford’s fingerprints all of it. The only gravy train he should be worried about is the one to his mouth. Considering all the cuts he plans to make he shouldn’t waste city dollars on this
Bitch is wordy as fuck. Furrealtho this shit is all technical it ain’t hurtin NOBODY
they just making a big deal out of nothing.. that’s just ridiculous

“And shout out to Toronto, bitch I’m Tony in my city” -Drake
“All I care about is money and the city that I’m from”-Drake
Apparently the feeling isn’t mutual.

“We would suggest that the treatment of the word Toronto used on the billboard is very similar to the wordmark that forms part of the Toronto logo.”
^^^ What the fuck is she talking about? no Seriously what did she just say or suggest? i’m not the brightest man but i’m far from ignorant and i didn’t understand the meaning of what was said hear.
“The similarity of the wordmarks, in conjunction with other creative elements used for the billboard, may cause some confusion about the source of the information”
you mean confusion and interest in the source of the information which is DRAKE? frankly that was the WHOLE FUCKIN POINT!
“While the city is proud of its local and international talent, we have a general practice of reviewing and addressing reported or known cases related to the possible misuse of the Toronto logo.”
RIIIIGHT. so what was the misuse? A Toronto billboard in TORONTO!?
ya’ll worst than the US. Must be bored or something. somebody shoot up a school in Jane and Finch or something. give them something to do up there. i’m mean really!
Well, it’s a pretty arrogant to feel the need to have a billboard like this to begin with. Obnoxious.
Haha all these guys making fun of that fat fuck ford
I haven’t seen this billboard ad. Where’s it at?
Someone should tag it
Hudes – Bathurst and Steeles
I Don’t See Why People Love There Cities So Much…
People that aren’t from Toronto don’t realize we barley have any respect for this guy. Sure he’s from Toronto and all but he didn’t work for it. The underground rap scene here hates the fact that it’s Drake representing Toronto.
WTF???
Drake put CANADA on ESPECIALLY Toronto. Name the last person aside from him that anyone was checking for before he represented. They need to thank him. Hell the city should have paid for the billboard to begin with. I’m not saying he’s GOD to them, but he has truly brought that place to the frontline…
This is some fuckery at its finest!!! wtf….find some better things to do…
Do your thing Drake
Lol at da hataz. Drake iz da best white rappa alive. swag
Shut up Toronto no one gave a fuck About you all til Drake came along
fuck drake and im from toronto
listen to sts lol
this is why i hate rapradar sometimes.. they post the stupidest of shit to get traffic. like really his isnt worth mentioning AT ALL. can b. dot even explain what she meant by that? just the way she wrote about it makes you know no ones getting angry over it, it seems like shes complaining about the way the word “toronto” is written in the wrong font or something.
delete this useless post now
Drake is down with the Zionist boys (Forest Hills stand up), they will let it rock
this is why they mad

@Bangers N Mash i know what you mean but i think you’re generalizing, all of the diehard real hip hop fans hate the guy but guys who like his music for what it is rock with him.
@cadet, i’m from the t dot and i agree with you 100% when i saw the billboard i thought the city was finally showing love for him. i dont think them going after him represents toronto though its more of an indication of how much of a dumbass Rob Ford is. When reporters showed up to his house he called the police and told them to come because he said, and i quote, “I’m the fucking mayor of this city”. He’s a fat, drunk and a coke head and will go down as one of the worst mayors in the history of not only toronto but Canada.
watch drake use that in his next methaphor………………
Who gives a fuck about a soft ass city like Toronto anyway. Just cuz one of the illest in the game right now is from there don’t mean niggas is checking for Toronto rappers. All of Drake’s influnences are fron the U.S and please don’t say K-OS because that guy is horrible, I think he just mention him cuz he didn’t wanna leave out his city. Toronto is a the City of Canada thats wishes it was part of the U.S, nothing but posers live there. The tried to make a Time square there. Fuck Toronto, we don’t fuck with yall niggas aye!
He trying to top Weezy Carter IV ha
Idk man… Drake seems pretty heavily influenced by Justin Beiber, and I’m pretty sure he’s Canadian.
lmfao… Yea that Jew does seem to be influence by Bieber and Avril Levine.
Soft Ass City Like Toronto?… Toronto is the 5th Biggest City in North America!
Ottawa Stand UP! what the fuck am I Saying, No one In Canada Gives a fuck about Ottawa…
This nigga said Outtawa. Hockey playing ass nigga. Fuck Ontario, fuck Vancover, fuck Nova Sottia. Fuck Canada all together, yall niggas wear snow boots & snow pants all year long.
