Bomani Jones (ESPN) Calls Drake Phony

[CrimsonTider]

It's really vague if it is about his lyrical prowess why is he talking about his boys going in with him and he doesn't have to say anything?

What you are referring to is the 1st verse

Listen to that song again?

Yeah, I was reading the lyrics. lol It's whatever, I did take it on some street shyt on hearing it but after further review yeah it could be the other way.

First of all there is no "outrage"... I've seen that word used several times by offended Drake fanatics in this thread.. If what you saw from Bomani in that clip or the majority of the observations in here as "outrage" then I don't know what to tell you..

The second buzz words that being used in here is "hate" or even "blind hate"

The hardcore Drake fanbase (I'm being serious here not gonna mock them by saying 'Stans') is showing characteristics that I have previously only witnessed from the Jay-Z base..Where any observation or critique is dismissed as hate just off of GP..

As Bomani and numerous people in here have stated.. Drake is talented (love), he makes some good music (love), he's successful and has a huge movement (love)..

Now if on top of all these proclaimations, additional points are added about his voice, upbringing or the way he carries himself in certain settings are brought up, then you gotta be mature enough to handle that..If your first reaction is to say "HATER!!!" then imo you're reacting like a female..

I'm not talking about the people that just have vitriol towards him.. But since when is just "liking" a certain artist not enough? Why do they have to be embraced with unconditional adoration?

Again this is something I really noticed about Drake and Jay-Z fans.. And ironically...They are the two artists that are in need of the tactics the least...

This is ridiculous.

Drake can't even defend himself without getting called a bytch.

How does that even work?

Exactly, if he keeps makin the music that he does, he is a simp, a bytch, or a "suburban Canadian wannabe H-town rapper."

But, if he tries to fit the mold of a stereotypical rapper, he is being fake and he is an "industry plant." Just enjoy his music, and let him live.

nikkas are really getting emotional over this?He even gave dude a compliment saying he can rap his ass off. Put the cotdamn capes away.

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? 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 Did dude used to pronounce nikka in a way that would make Riley Cooper look like Marcus Garvey? Yes Was he more likely to be referring to bagels instead of hip hop if he mentioned the lox back in the day? Yes But the natural change people go through with new life experiences shouldn't be discounted.

Real talk my nikka

U are the GOAT poster of 2013

95% of all rappers are actors.
This is entertainment. it AIN'T life!!

The problem is that most dudes think that Rap music is REAL but in reality its one of the fakest, hyperbolic form of music out.

The "Rap game" is NO different than hollywood. sure there may be a few dudes that can do their own stunts but for the most part no one is doing shyt

 

[Houston911]

Lol, y'all talk a lot about shyt you don't know about in order to discredit someone. His dad lived in Memphis, he spent his summers there.

The drawl is fake

Drake sounds like a white guy in interviews

That being said, Bormani trying too hard to shyt on Blake.

Will smith isn't from the burbs either. Everything he said was off

 

[Houston911]

The guy has a completely seperate "rap voice" and "speaking voice"..How come he doesn't talk like a n1gga that spent his summers in Memphis? Because he's not in character during his interviews and everyday life....

T.I. spent summers with his pops in Harlem.. How come he doesn't sound like Big L?

Run that dumb sh1t to someone who doesnt know any better...

Yeah he sounds obviously forced

Hearing him say stuff like "nikka" "bytches" "hoes" sounds more unnatural than Kerry Rhodes and Jason collins

 

[AkaDemiK]

Hip-Hop is just another Degrassi for Drake to flex whatever acting skills he got. shyt is disgusting B. Just listen to the fakkit speak in interviews or on the red carpet around white ppl.

Drake wack ass admits to never smoking weed until he got a record deal. Dude let the industry pressure him to be a smoker. Corny nikka.
