It means nobody on The Coli gives a fukk about DJing, until a guy does an interview about Drake. Or did you not notice the complete lack of DJ threads?

Hell, the average hip-hop fan didn't give a fukk about DJing in '97 either.

So it's kinda silly to pull that out as a reason why we should listen to this guy.

Fred.

Possibly.

But my main point is I vaguely knew who A-Trak was prior to Ye, solely because I was a fan of a few underground acts in the 90's.

But if you look at the second half of the 90's....Wu, BONE, Outkast, DMX, Master P....I mean....you know who was making noise.

Meanwhile A-Trak was hanging out with Non-Phixion and Peanutbutter Wolf. :dahell:

The funny thing is I don't even mean to diss A-Trak, but it's funny how this hip-hop shyt only matters if it props up an artist people stan. Like when Premiere said Drake was a great lyricist. They couldn't make that thread fast enough. Did they mention Premiere prior to that? fukk no. Did they make a thread after the ghostwriting shyt, when Premiere said Drake is Milli Vanilli if he don't write his own shyt? Of course not.

It's more about how disingenuous people are, than A-Trak or even DJing specifically.

Fred.

This sounds ridiculous until you realize that Metro Boomin (arguably the dopest 'trap' producer ever) makes the most gutter-sounding dark trap.

A-Kak has a point but as usual, weak-ass hip hop journalism won't ask him to clarify what he means. They know him putting "Drake" in the same sentence as "Mobb Deep" is clickbait so it's best to leave it vague and stimulate fake outrage.

Why Mobb Deep and not 3-6 Mafia or even Live.Love.ASAP (as I said before, let's not pretend like Drake wasn't inspired by the dark hard shyt that Yams/Rocky were doing)

The Metro beats on DS2 and WATTBA are def three six influenced..gotta give it to you on that.

of course a bunch of bytch ass nikkas in there feelings gonna disagree with a-trak,

man if you nikkas don't produce please stfu because a-trak was very close with his description of both albums on a sonic level


i dislike drake with a passion but even i'm not gonna discredit the production on his album, that shyt was crisp and it's probably the only drake project i'll be fukkin with for a minute

I get what he tried to say but 36 Mafia seems like the far better comparison production wise. I'll rap Drake for having hard drums in this era of weak ass computer drums tho.

I like what he said about Documentary 2. As always Game attempts to make a classic while reminding you of classics. It just sounds uninspired and calculated to me, personally.
