Let's be honest, if drake was dark skin he'd still be a mixtape rapper.
He's the image people want on the product.

"Drake = The only rapper capturing real feelings for millennials who don't know how to feel" -Zoey
- Thread starter UserNameless
- Start date
The deliberate lack of "depth" and details is intentional, because he speaks in a way everyone can relate or (pretend) to relate to....That is why his music lacks the dark and twisted edges of Nas confessionals, or any of the other rappers we hold up to a standard. Everything with him is usually calculated to a one size fits all, broad brush, so everyone from
Mark working at Chase as a financial advisor
to
Tiffany who serves drinks at a strip club while attending CC classes
to
Josh who just graduated from UCLA and will take over his Dad's law practice
to
Ashley who works as a receptionist
feels like Drake speaks to THEM.
Part of music's appeal is the ability to connect, but I think Drake does it in such a way that it lacks any real depth, that said, I am not immune to throwing on Teenage Fever or Take Care when the mood is right, it's good pop, but that is where it stops.

I fukk with Drake but he has minimal depth. Never had any real depth. None of these new nikkas do. Rocky has emotional depth but lyrical/intellectual depth is pretty much non-existent. This entire era is content with not being deep at all or pretending to be deep. Let's not cue fake outrage on Drake because he's actually deeper than 99% of people in his era.
yet weirdos will pretend he's not top 2 of this era
And somehow Ducktales, a rapper that's dropping 'classics' left right and center, and has no quotables, is better 
Like Kanye didn't have bougie shopaholics thinking he was deep with Jesus Walks and All Falls Down. Straight up chick records. No guy around me was quoting Ye like he was deep on any level. Nicca could barely rap when he came out.

Superstar
Drake running a long running con game on Blipsters and Buppies that shyt is top notch. Only Obama's con game is tighter.
Who is Zoey and why are you citing her as if she speaks for a billion people? 
I think the big dudes of that generation all capture many different aspects of the feelings of the millennials
those being people like Drake, Meek, Duckworth and Cole. Idk too much about Drake anymore though, 22 songs and shyt and only gives us one Do Not Disturb. He use to drop that shyt on the regular

The brainwashing is so deep.
How does an artist that doesn't write or produce his own music get credited for capturing your feeling?
Millennial are idiots.

I guess that’s why Kendrick, Migos and Future are all superstars

You sleeping
Respectfully speaking,the thread is about Drake can you stay on topic please. Thanks.
After being an initial hater early in his career, i did begin to feel like Drake spoke to me. I became a legit big fan.
All that kinda changed with the ghostwriting fiasco. Really damaged him to me.
Something about feeling like this person who made it despite not being from the streets, not rapping about typical stuff all the time, not playing a gangsta image, made you feel like he was similar to most of us.
I still like some of his stuff, but it wont be the same.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Best post in the thread so far.

Real nikkaz,beat bytches
where are these deep songs that you speak of by them??
"The Message" by Dr. Dre is a dedication to his deceased brother penned by Royce Da 5'9"
"Is This The End" by Puff Daddy, but not written by Puff. There's also "Pain" and "Do You Know". Most notably "I'll Be Missing You" is written by Sauce Money and I think Puff's verses on "Journey Through The Life" are written by Nas.
