I think it’s a reflection of the fans. Never in rap’s history have people been stuck on the music of two guys like this

Mark of stagnation
Kendrick is one of the only mainstream rappers that been evolving :dead:
He never made the same album twice and reached a completely different audience with each album. Matter of fact, there might not be "kendrick fans", he has album fans.

Okay.

But know this. Men can do women wrong and women can do men wrong in their teens, 30s, 40s, 60s. shyt, 80 year olds kill their spouses.

You think life is grown and sexy after 30 and forever? No.

This is the first time I've heard of this "Hip hop bedroom journalist" and she's critiquing a millionaire rapper. Who is she and how is she credible? I'm listening.
Why are clowns laughing at this?

The fact is "evolution" and growth doesn't always pan out in rap. Gangster rappers going weak isn't it. History shows this. Conscious rappers have evolved to wearing dresses.

So by that logic, rappers should just stay the same forever? Imagine if Jay-Z was still rapping about the streets at 50, or if Kanye never evolved past College Dropout. Growth isn’t the problem—forcing artists to stay in a box is.

That’s why with HNVM. I thought that was a brilliant project because it was risk and it sounded like exactly what HE wanted to do.

They can do whatever they want as long as it's dope.

Kanye evolving was dope (up to a certain point and then it got weird after Yeezuz), but I didn't feel entitled to it.

Future hasn't evolved, and the music is still dope. Pusha T just gets more creative about the coke references. No evolving from Griselda. Larry June still driving a BMW to the smoothie spot.

This push for Drake to "evolve" is corny.

Future can try and make something like this though. It’s the most growth you’ll ever hear from him.




Future has these type of songs already




Don't think doing that exclusively would help. He'd have to undergo a complete persona change

And Drake is actually more introspective than most rappers I would say. His singles have just gotten stale. As well as the style he uses for those singles. Rapping is the only advantage he has over most. But he'd rather not use it.


So he will probably keep throwing what he thinks will be hits at the wall hoping they stick:manny:


He can only rap his way out of this situation. Balls in his court.

That Last Breath was on a bigger scale though. Plus he also sample DMX’s Slippin with Meek and Dave East. He should do more songs like that.
