Elliott Wilson Calls Out Drake For Doing Interviews Outside The Hip Hop Culture

[Big Boss]

Drake is pushing 40. What does Elliot want to ask him that he hasn’t already addressed? There’s so many good up and coming artists that deserve some spotlight. Gotta stop chasing views all the time.

Facts Drake doesn't need the media at this point of his career

lol man on tour and had time
yes julz caught a stray saying she doing knock off cheap ass interviews

 

[Hood Critic]

This means he'll be sitting down for an interview with Elliot and Bdot soon. He might enjoy his pop success but he wants to be considered hip-hop, hate him or love him, Elliot Wilson got enough motion on the hip-hop side to make that even harder.

fam, if I invite you to my HOUSE IN CANADA for a sit down interview you NEVER get to talk out the side of your mouth about me...and you got one of the ONLY interviews I've EVER done

Cant remember the last time I enjoyed or learned anything new from a "hip-hop journalist" interviewing an active artist. The questions usually revolve around
"Tell us about the process of making the album?"
"Talk to us about reception of your last album?"
"Who do you want to work with on this album?"

This shyt is all very surface level and begging to get dumb ass cliche answers. I'd rather see anyone being interviewed show their personality instead of just getting through the answers that wont cause them to be looked at negatively. So drake knows what questions they'll be asking and I imagine that shyt is boring. Dont blame him or any other artist who want to do an interview/podcast where they get to have fun and be themselves instead of need to sell whatever image hip hop has determined they should act like 24/7

if Im a rapper, Id rather talk to Rolling Stone or Pitchfork than Elliot and B dot

Well that's goofy, even tho the other 2 are goofy 2

 

[frush11]

Imagine actually entertaining these crab ass rap media nikkas when you dont have to

I truly don't get a lot off you so called Hip-hop fans.

Make this comment make sense to me

thats why the Joe Budden interview if it ever happens will be the gold standard. Joe is an ACTUAL fan.

It's also clear a lot of them didn't even listen to the album or most of it. Those Breakfast Clubs would spend like 5 minutes talking about the album, with Envy admitting he only listened to some on the drive to work...then the rest of the interview is just nasty gossip or bullshyt. Or they'd talk about the features nonstop, so they would ask an artist about another artist. I'm not gonna blame anyone for being tired of that shyt, especially the big artists who don't have to put up with it.

We're seeing the same thing happen with sports media. People are tired of the bullshyt, disrespect, trolling, and lack of professionalism.

I meant to add that to my post. Good point. That's why we are seeing the rise in sports podcasts hosted by athletes or non-traditional media. Athletes/entertainers are sick of gotcha journalism that seemingly is meant to find a quote or clip to try and make go viral regardless of the contents of the interview. They'd much rather be interviewed by their peers. I'd be more comfortable talking about my life and work with a friend than a motherfukker who I know is just trying to get a quote or two to make a headline with.

So how did that white girl get popular? She only has 3 interviews and drake is one of the 1st



Doesn't seem like her husband or parents are in the industry, so who plugged her in?


Also fukk Elliott and bdot. 2 of the driest no personality having mfs with wack platform.

Weeknd the only real nikka left

Still hasn’t done any of those

He actually has

I dunno, not really to me. It was bigger than say, Murder Dog, but they were always well behind The Source and Vibe until they both fell off
