An Inspiration to All - Future and Drake have a musical bond and have collaborated on several songs together. Drake's hit single "Started From the Bottom" was actually Future's accidental idea.

As it turned out, Future wasn't, but Drake took the inspiration straight to the top of the charts.(Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Moet & Chandon)
