Drake doesn't need street cred. He raps about being lonely, not killing people. He's not Rick Ross; the Degrassi background is as much a part of his rap as anything else.
Music quality and toughness level are not correlated in any way. Get over it. If you think every rapper you consider "hard" has the actual bodies and eight-balls to his name that he claims, you're a fool. I give props to Drake for being real, though I must agree with RichardCorey that he has slipped a bit since So Far Gone.
