I'm sure Drizzy cares a lot about what Bomani Jones thinks about his rap career :heh: . Real talk, this grown man is on television talking about sports, what does he even know about rap?
And Drizzy's dad is from the South, so it's not like Wayne was the first person to take him to H-town. These clowns just keep hatin while da gawd keeps :eat:. NWTS gon put an end to all this.

A lotta people think that. hell i'd even say most.

its really hurts that people don't like drake huh?

but when the hype dies down and if he survives the backlash that will come eventually, maybe he'll be what you say he is.

right now, to me, he's just the most successful industry plant in recent years.

How is he an industry plant? Just because he's not from some war-zone like Chiraq or LA means he can't rap? He's not pretendin to be a gangsta so I don't understand why you guys can't let da gawd live. You should thank the Drizzy Stimulus Package for saving some of your favorite rappers.

I never thought about the actual manufacturing of drake by sending him to houston.

Makes sense tho
How else you think a jew from Canada spits with a Southern drawl?

:pachaha:

Drakes level of method acting rivals Deniro in Raging Bull.. He studies the natives in their natural enviornment and mimics them to perfection..

Me personally, I noticed a while ago that the dude Drake portrays now isn't the same as the dude he was before YMCMB and even right after he signed with them. That said, there's something to be said for the natural passage of time and life experiences. Does that explain the southern drawl at times?:mjpls: No. But if you take a child actor from the suburbs and throw him into the industry and have him experience all that I'm sure he experienced, it's not beyond plausibility that he would naturally change. I know who I was in highschool isn't who I was by the end of college or now (at the age of 26, same age Drake is).

Drake on Room for Improvement doesn't sound how he does now, but that was a change for the better. He's technically much more sound and polished. Is there some CB4 gusto with Aubrey? Yes:manny: Did dude used to pronounce nikka in a way that would make Riley Cooper look like Marcus Garvey? Yes:manny: Was he more likely to be referring to bagels instead of hip hop if he mentioned the lox back in the day? Yes:manny: But the natural change people go through with new life experiences shouldn't be discounted.

I despise Bomani Jones, but he's right about the Drake thing. I've been saying it for years...just be yourself & i'd have so much more respect for you.

I don't know about his Fresh Prince & Jazzy Jeff OPINIONS tho...
