I agree Drake is a pop star.

I really miss rappers like Mos Def.

He's not wrong.
And I like some Drake songs but it is what it is.

What happened to him?

 

[Wild self]

Facts. People of Mos Def's vision are what's missing in black culture, where they think about QUALITY first and not just quick dollars.

This is such a disingenuous take.

Does Drake make pop songs? Yes. But for every Hotline Bling and In My Feelings he has plenty of traditional rap songs. It’s 2024 not 1993. If that’s the case any rapper post 2008 is a pop artist. Rap is popular music now so expecting artist to move the same way they did 30 years ago is ridiculous. You either adapt or find yourself coming across as an out of touch hater.

Drake is really just the PM Dawn of my generation

Only he was able to be successful where they failed do to how much rap has changed

Drake isn’t someone who needs defending but he makes better Music than Mos Def and its not even close

He could bite Def’s whole M.O. if he wanted
