Again give him props. He held serve on his 3rd album. Slight increase but an increase none the less. But he basically stayed flat from "Take Care" numbers. Can the singles on this album take it Double Platinum like "Take Care" did? I'm unsure. He's going Platinum for sure though. Jay basically hit his stride by his 3rd album. Same with Pac. NaS and Biggie were masters by their 2nd albums. But NaS still sold very well on his 3rd album. But again at this point he's still in the Nelly, Ja Rule, Ludacris, T.I., 50 Cent Teir and honestly all those emcees could be argued as having even more success than Drake did.
Are we really. Comparing different eras to hate on drake ???? One belittling a increase when all his new era peers are falling off by the second album you judging drake compared to 50 and them??? Drake has no peers I'm his age group is what your saying :deadmanny: he's legendary status ...by the way I like how you don't bring up Kaye's diminishing sales while drake increasing

yesterday was the first time I 'really' listened. before that I was like whatever, cuz it's Drake.

i can understand if dude is just not ur style of artist or person...


but you have to give him props and credit. HE IS doing exactly was a rapper and artist should do (and what most artist aren't doing) and you can tell this nikkas work ethic is damn near unmatched right now.

Passion and lyrics- he has that. Even if he drops some corny lines and sings like he wants to suck a dikk...... Objectively - you can't say his album isn't good and that it would be 1 million soon bout to do triple plat if this was 90's.

I just can't breh. Lyrically it sounds like a combination of insecure Blueprint 2 Jay crying about being underappreciated and his legacy and some Taylor Swift album. I can't call that shyt good.

lol, I admit I had a skip a few songs...

but overall, it's good. It's like Halcyn days by Ellie goulding - No nikka I know would call that good.

Either way, like I said he's doing exactly what we need and what we want artist to do. He's not just making BS cookie cutter music, like 2chanz ... Most of the songs are different with different themes and even the corny songs have thought behind them.

I can't hear a song like Dead Pres by jay Z and then try to rate the album- it's a different type.

:ehh:

Fair enough, he does have his own thing going I suppose.

I like Halcyon Days and Ellie though, she has a great and unique voice+good production :yeshrug:

But this nikka took rap... somethin' nikkas love :lupe:

AND combine that shyt with R&B... somethin' that nikkas who get p*ssy love :lupe:

How the fukk can still hate so hard on this shyt?!?!?!?! :damn: Y'all nikkas goin' hard for Kanye mixin Rap & Industrial garbage man shyt :scusthov:, but don't like Rap & R&B? :wow:

Drizzy :wow:

I can't wait to go to this nikka concert. :wow:

I know this nikka can't sing live, but that's what the crowd is there for :ld:

The Traveling Drizzy Drake Yeshiva Baptist Choir :blessed:
