Common was making songs about the complexities of relationships and other "regular nicca shyt" in his 20's.

So was Phonte. So was Kanye. So was Andre and Big Boi. So was Pac.

Drake was the first to do it at a level so feminized that females were actually relating more than dudes were.

So Drake has become the soundtrack for millennial women who can listen to 'How Bout Now' and relate to changing themselves for a man because they loved them or 'Fake Love' and relate to the bytches at work/school being two faced to them.

Drake isn't doing something that hasn't been done...his content and delivery is just really accessible to young women. It's shallow and surface level, but that's part of what makes it so accessible to this generation.

I disagree. Drake doesn't really capture feelings. He just gives surface level perspectives based on his relationships. I mean, he'll name drop women as reference points for moments in his life, but it leaves you like "why is this important to the story you're telling". I mean, he's name dropping real women meanwhile, Sasha Thumper and ol girl from "Undying Love" had more depth as fictional women than Erica and Jade.

I'm not saying Drake has to be Andre 3000 or Nas, but he cited them as influences for his early albums, but when they talk about relationships (even fictional ones), I feel it more than when Drake talks about his real relationships. It's crazy because Drake is closer to my age than Nas or Andre, yet I find a song like "Spottieottiedopalicious" or "You Won't See Me Tonight" more soulful than Drake's relationship songs because of the imagery. They don't even have to drop names of the women, but it feels realer than any Drake song. Even when Nas or Andre are vulnerable on songs like "Drunk By Myself" or "Jazzy Belle", it's felt.

Drake makes dope musoc, but as I have always maintained, he lacks depth. It isn't because of the writers either, because Puff and Dre have songs with depth even with somebody else's pen.

He makes some good music here and there but I don't really feel it .

Drakes music is listenable... even as an older, breh....
but his words and context is really for emotional ass nikkaz, and women... the shyt he says and the energy he has when he says it is why he is quoted so much and listened to...
he IS this Generation
