His mentions and views shot through the roof following one line in Back 2 Back.

Drake will get you a lot of attention breh. I'm a long time Ar Ab fan and the comments of all the Youtube vids which were formally getting :flabbynsick: views were overtaken by Drake stans saying B2B brought them here.

You still not telling me what "stimulus" Drake gave Ar-ab. Did Ar-ab put out a hit record after back-2-back ? Did he get a Drake feature on a track ? Did he sign with a label, and take home a signing bonus ? He didn't get shyt, other then his name being said. But according to you Aubrey fans, getting some extra temporary Youtube views, is considered a "stimulus" ?

Ar-ab still sitting dusty and rugged, and didnt get shyt out being mentioned. Hes also the complete opposite rapper of Drake. Yall Drake stans ain't checking for Ar-ab, on the real.

Canadian rapper showing American rappers the blueprint lol, times really have changed
man, it's because he's Canadian and he's not full of himself like a lot of American rappers are. Dudes in Toronto listen to grime, hell I've been listening to Grime since I was like 15/16, i'm 24 now. Just last year some friends came up to me like "you gonna like this" and threw on a new Skepta song, that Kanye cosigned or whatever, and I had been trying to play people Skepta since I was 16 and they said "what is this Jamaican bumbaras bullsh*t?", the only people who would really listen were my brother and cousins. And that's because we're all musically inclined.

And that's why Drake can do that, Waka did a song with Giggs and so did Styles P, but most US rappers are institutionalized, stuck in their old neighborhoods even though it's been 10 years since they blew up and got a million dollars. Plus dudes don't love the craft, they love the money. They don't seek other flows from other parts of the world to see how they approach rhymes, or what beats sound good to them, or how their songs are structured.

Check this out, dudes sampling that fly like an eagle vocal, and his singer uses a Patrice Rushen flow from one of her songs "U Remind me" I believe. US Rappers don't be seeking out other countries stuff, to appeal to foreign lands or even just to change their sound and gain a better understanding of music. That's why the genre is so dead out, people just want to pimp it.

Publicity stunt to bring BBK attention, bet he hasn't signed nothing.
He gains next to nothing from signing.

Drake stan? I have never heard a Drake album in my life :heh:

I'm actually an Ar-Ab fan if anything and have been for years.

Fact is...Drake will get you a look in from the mainstream fans.

Is Ar rich and famous now? OF course not. But his buzz increased from a mention in a line. Not even a feature.

I saw it first hand. There used to be like the same 5 posters in Ar threads...then I began seeing Ab's name being mentioned more frequently.
