Explain to me why Drake's success angers y'all so much?

[Taadow]

Please, enlighten me

No.

Because frankly, if you're into this rap chit and you don't know what labels do for artists,
it's only because you don't wanna know.

 

[HoldThisL]

Dont hate Drake, just hate his fans for overrating him
"#1 rapper, running hip hop"

 

[Rembrandt]

who else making rap albums, doing numbers like its pop?

 

[Osmosis]

What makes you think I did? The album thread and Twitter and hell, social media in general were full of his "bars" the night it dropped.

Meanwhile, I was listening to Gibbs.



The album was so poorly received on here I didn't even clown it in the album thread. I posted once and bounced.

Fred.

Gibbs was listening to and shouting out views on snapchat

 

[tremonthustler1]

yes,i put my ears through that kind of torture.
i try to inform myself before i label something.
i listened to his shyt and it is trash, with the exception of a few songs per album.
this does not mean that he ever saw a cent from this african.
i knew from the get go, that there was something fishy about that man,but i gave him a fair chance.
his music is not for me!!

But to be sure you'll listen to the next 3 Drake albums right?

 

[WickedGames]

People who say drake is only big among pop fans expose themselves as loners

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

No regular or real nikkas are fukking w/ the album.
I have 5,000 friends on fb. Literally everybody, including females, shytted on it.
2 people out of 5,000 said it was a wave.
I was one of 10 who said the beats were hot, songs weren't really that great as far as replay value or originality.
People listening out of curiosity when the LEAK was floating around on social media =/= sales.
We won't ever see the real numbers.

 

[Swagnicious]

The main reason nikkas hate Drake is because his presence is a constant reminder that the days of nikkas like Pac, DMX and other real nikkas being on top of the game are long gone. 20 years ago someone like him would be the very last person you would expect to have ANY amount of success in the hip hop world...and now a lightskin cornball clown that dresses like a lame and smiles all the time, is the one on top

 

[samtalksradio]

I don't hate gaykes success I just don't pay attention to him or his garbage ass music.

 

[mr.africa]

But to be sure you'll listen to the next 3 Drake albums right?

i'm a grown man so i'll do whatever i want to do.
having said that, i gave him 3/4 chances and it seems like mediocrity is all he can deliver so, i'll skip the next one.
(unless there is some ghostwriting fukkery involved)

Pretty much every female I know loves it, posting videos of them dancing to songs or status updates about what Drake can do to them, I'm seeing nikkas and females quoting lyrics, etc


But only 2 out of 5,000 people on your FB said it was a wave so nobody must be fukking with it

 

[Danktoker94]

What do you mean "let him"?
Yall act like every hip-hop artist has to sit in front of a council of "legends" who have to have their blessings in order to rap.
You use the resources you can to make a name for yourself.
And that's what he did.

drake is just a corn ball who makes these crazy claims that he's running rap right now when he barely even raps nowadays just singing views was half SINGING BRUH and the references tracks don't make his track record any better Bruh. It's really his stans that make ppl mad with there out Landish statements like drake is Better than HOV or drake is better than dot these cats are spitters who rap and make hits to so to say drake is running rap is to say drake is a better spitter than Cole and Dot which if he had put more rap songs out we would be able to debate on that

 

[mobbinfms]

Seriously?
I don't even listen to him but there's no denying he is RUNNING hip-hop right now.

But all I see is clowns talking bout
"bu bu but he didn't sell as much as you think he did!!"
"bu bu but Hotline Bling came out a while ago!!"
"bu bu but he's a fraud"

All that bullshyt ain't changing the fact that he is the #1 rapper in the game.
Go listen to your DJ Kay Slay mixtape from 2006 and shut the fukk up

Why wouldn't someone passionate about music want to see they musicians they like dominate the game commercially?

 

[RAW_SPK]

To play devil's advocate....i guess the flipside to this question would be; Why does Drake's success fuel his stans/fans to ride for him as much as they do? Why does Drake's success make it so that anytime someone brings up something less than favorable regarding son...its never seen as criticism, but always as hate?

 

[brother walt]

because he don't write shyt he rap that's crazy
