Drake isnt hip hop - Yaasin Bey

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

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.

pretty much

drake lebron and jay z make grown men act like women

 

[Jean toomer]

What happened to him?

Child support ain’t easy.

Dude

To say Drake doesn’t take chances is just fundamentally not true, not all of it is to write home about obviously, but nobody has done more to heighten black artisty outside the states like he has.

WHAT?!

Ever hear of Sade, Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, Steel Pulse, etc. ?

I’m good breh. Not even worth my time discussing this after that comment.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

no he doesn't








He shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Yaasin

Yes I’ve heard those exact same songs when I was 16 also

Who is this nikka?

he should be ban from the booth.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Black on Both Sides

Album was dudes magnum opus. To this very day, he hasn't surpassed or put a dent into such a powerful album

UMI SAY SHINE YA LIGHT ON THE WORLDDDDDDD

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

He literally doesn't take chances. Fukk you mean

Quite the opposite. He hops from wave to wave to siphon off whatever is hot at the time

His music is the most soulless, inauthentic shyt to pop in hip hop history

Everything about him is a bite from another culture. Houston, Atlanta, LA, Jamaica, phonte, etc.

At the end of the day, who is that nikka?

Drake is everything people accuse tupac of being. An actor. If this was marvel, he'd be the chameleon. Problem is too many people don't see the man behind the mask

 

[CrimsonTider]

I listen to real rap

 

[vino]

He is right in the sense of traditional hip hop, Drake is pop but can rap.

 

[419scam]

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Drake is literally the only reason hip-hop isn't a dead genre

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Drake is definitely hip hop. Does he make pop records? Sure. So did MC Hammer and this site sucks him off on some revisionist history shyt. I’m a Mos Def fan got but got damn he is mad pretentious

Uhhh Tupac was a art student who died at 25 cause he wanted to be a weekend warrior

Sans the premature death I understand the comparison

And if wave riding is so bad (its not) why does it work for him then

Cause you missed a major aspect of what I was saying

I mean sure, but this is actually the locker room
