u don't belong here than, this is a forum for REAL hip hop heads. Budden already got respect from rap legends like DJ Premier. until Drake works with legit people who are about the artform he ain't shyt. he just another Disney put together pop rapper.
That's just it dog...the plan was to have a "super" hip hop artist that "everyone" would love and he would be able to dictate who is relevant or not based on his wave or who he chooses to work with. He makes relationships with certain corporate entities, has a white producer (this 40 character) and slowly you got cacs controlling (controlla...nikka
) these hip hop streets. That's why he won't work with premier, that's why you won't see him on a prodigy track or a dave east track or anyone of the "elk"....it's why he took the Wu tang song and sissified it...HE REALLY TRIED TO WHITEWASH HIP HOP...
(and came damn close too)...Birdman don't give a fukk bout hip hip he signin off on what pays(he regret that now, I'm sure). Wayne fell outta love wit the shyt cuz he seen the ugly pop wave come in with Nikki and Drake ....all while birdman jackin. That's why he complained about Nikki and Drake not contactin him anymore...cuz he knew they were really runnin wit the pop machine and birdman. Seriously....look at the people who tweeted in the OP
if we're gonna play that card, should we list all the legends who have given respect to drake 
how come buddens didnt respond to that battle rapper that dropped a diss towards him last week
, and making cartoonish ass videos in the early 00's trying desperately to go pop. Drake is the creation from that madness. Drake is that TRL, destiny's child, cribs, my sweet sixteen, MTV rapper. He is the culminating result of hip hop selling out for profits and white execs realization over the years of the opportunity to cash in. Ed Lover and Dr Dre fab 5 Freddy never would sign off on dude...nor would Joe Clair (rap city). Greed allowed Drake ...and greed sustains dude....greed and weak bytch made nikkas
