This isn't a Hip-Hop album tho...

exactly, this is Pop Rap at it's finest.

Hip hop is hip hop regardless of how you catalogue it, it's diverse not same old boring formula" insert 16 bar verse here, insert a hook, blah, blah" that's why hip hop got stale and stopped selling like that. People want melodies why you think Young Thug and Future so popular and people want rapper who ain't scared to step outside of the box and be different

So no love for Cudi and Ye?

That singing and rappin wave was a thing before Drake :yeshrug:
True 808s inspired So Far So Gone but Drake added elements of his own to make his own sound like you could instantly tell a Drake flow from a Kanye flow

Nah, technology is why hip hop and pretty much all genre sales went down

That's why I don't pay these nikkas no mind when they wanna talk about lyrics, not every song has to be full of multis and technical shyt, Drizzy just kept it simple and real on this one and that's why ever bar hits home :banderas:
