Why would I lie about not listening to a fakkitPost in here if you wanna lie to people you've never met about not listening to Drake.

How is one a hiphop head and doesn't listen to the biggest artists albums just to keep up
Specially if they are getting best reviews, awards and selling the most at the same damn time.
It's like swearing that you're a jazz head and then say that you never played a full Miles Davis album.
If Iggy Azelea moves 2 mill, wins grammys, is on all top of the year lists and had great reviews across the board I'll play her shyt.
No matter how wack I consider the shyt I've heard, just for the fact that I'm a hiphop head.

well... if you're a hip hop fan, it's a good idea to listen to at least one project in full. Even if you can't stomach the dude. Like or not, Drake is the most critically acclaimed rapper of his generation. Sure, his music is weak sauce, but just on his acclaim alone I'll check out whatever people think is his strongest project. To see if there's something special about dude I missed. So when I say, I don't fukk with him, at least I know where I'm coming from.
The only Drake album I've ever heard is So Far Gone. I've tried to listen to other albums but just gave up 1/3 way through. Dude is the definition of milquetoast... just like Kendrick and pretty much all rappers that are popping right now.
I'm not talking about his quality (I'm nearly an old school jazz head before a hiphop head), I'm talking about the fact that relatively speaking he was the biggest artist of the genre and the one with best reviews.
this logic is terrible. If I am a knowledged student of hip hop, why would I need to listen to some rapper other people say are critically acclaimed?well... if you're a hip hop fan, it's a good idea to listen to at least one project in full.

I hope I qualify for this thread dedicated to Ashkenazi Canuck.
I listen to his mixtape because the mainstream yiddish machinery almost caught me offguard with inflated fabricated hype bout the cornball.

I lived through, witnessed and took part of being in a GOLDEN ERA OF HIP-HOP.
As a person who LIVES HIP-HOP, I can say that His music is not worth my listening pleasure, without giving him a shot at all
Why would I give someone benefit of the doubt when the GOLDEN ERA GAVE THE BLUEPRINT ON HOW TO BE GREAT? Do you know what a GOLDEN ERA actually is?I dunno... maybe so you can have an educated fukking opinion instead of talking out your ass?
Dude, I don't fukk with Kendrick. I always thought the dude was wack from the get-go. But I still listened to those bullshyt Section80 and GKMC projects. I'm a head. I keep up.
Now, I don't keep up with *everything* a popular artist does. That would be a waste of my time. That's why I ask people who are in the know.... I say: 'what's the BEST project he/she came out with? I'll give that a fair listen.'
well.... that's cool and all, but I pretty much lived through that era too. If you're gonna judge someone, it's worth giving him/her the benefit of the doubt. It's just the respectable thing to do.
The downside of not listening is being stuck in the past. It can happen. As much as these new nikkas are so fukking wack and mediocre, you never know - there could be that ONE guy that comes through and does something incredible.
