Be honest. Outside of Kanye, Drake is the only one pushing the limit of rap these days

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Cudi deserves a mention too.

Wale had a good project as well...

but ya'll GOTTA respect the boy Aubrey

"Pushing the limit!?" How!?
Please explain

 

[vaudevillevillain]

[Professor Polo]

Yes, please explain how he's pushing the limit of rap, esp since a 3rd of the album is singing

I hope you wrote the
address on those letters perfect.

Is he the first nikka to try and rap and sing and be mediocre at both? And even if he was...what does that really have to do with these imaginary limits of rap? What's the end game for artists trying to emulate this so they can be praised as genius too? To just not rap at all while getting the credit for pushing the limits of an artform that you barely participate in?

So?

The sound of what rap music is and the types of beats we're seeing didn't exist too far back.

I didn't say he was. Phonte deserves as much credit too...but we're talking on a mainstream level. Drake's album, if it makes it to the radio, brings an element that will not have been on the radio before.

dradle drake is the biggest industry plant ever
he's bred to sell records w/his music geared towards females and teenagers, and....homo's
having his feet planted solidly in the industry via degrassi and being jewish he's already had a leg up.
i hope you drake fans aren't the same ones who hate on macklemore. macklemore has a lot more invested and if you've ever seen him live you know he's earned every damn bit of shine he's gotten.
drake is one song away from losing the mic altogether and using a headset like beyonce or brittney and doing dance routines

What are you talking about mayne... you're saying Drake is pushing the limits of rap, but by how? Including a different genre of music in RnB on his album? He's done that before

the talk about phonte on here is comparable since drake stanned that dude.
difference between the two is one is grown ass man music via singing and the other is a dude lookin for mtv and other young markets to "ballad" to.
