drakeo could never make an album like gnx

That's not the point. Peekaboo is pure Drakeo lol. I'm not saying it's bad or he did something wrong but Drakeo's dad is not the first person to say you gotta shout him out.

I get why he didn't say anything, given Drakeo had been with westside pirus (and got murked by YG affiliates) but it's still kinda wack to me. It's not even a nod musically...it's 100% Drakeo.

Bro, I keep hearing this. Can you post an example? These dudes sound nothing a like to me.

Edit: NVM. I found a post in this thread I replied to that had his vocals over the Peekaboo beat. I can see the resemblance. But what I will say is the beat calls for that style of flow. I still maintain that the style on GNX is more akin to an Oakland style than anyone from LA.

Yall gotta stop acting like Drakeo invented that flow. E40 and Suga Free had that flow before Drakeo existed

I get that this thread is full of stans who don't listen to anything besides Kendrick but lets be real. It's Drakeo's flow. 40 doesn't even rap like that. And this isn't even the first time he's done it. Rich Spirit and Purple Hearts off Mr Morale are Drakeo shyt too. On GNX Peekaboo and especially Hey Now are super obvious. LA been sounding like Drakeo for a minute so it's not surprising and I'm not shytting on Kendrick. But I'm tired of this fukking stan shyt and all these fake posters who don't know shyt about west coast music or rap saying wild shyt on this forum. We get it, you're the Kendrick digital team. Whatever.

Alight you just saying anything now.

Purple Hearts has the same/similar cadence as Yah. Yah came out in 2017 and probably recorded in 2016. Stop the cap.

Dog ain't nothing about drakeo unique. I'm from the west. I grew up in it. I never once listened to drakeo and thought he sounded original. He essentially sounded like every other westcoast street rapper that came before him. Just with a little twist. People trying to say it's not the accent it's the nasal sounding voice :mjlol: .....Kendrick got a nasal sounding voice too.

Ain't nothing about drakeo unique cause if you really grew up in the west all that slang and shyt he used was in the neighborhoods long before he ever put it on a song. Drakeo got his whole style from the OG's and real gangsters he grew up around. Muthafukkers trying to treat drakeo like he was Shakespeare:dead:....like he was out there creating brand new words and slang that have never been heard before. He wasn't. He got all that from the neighborhood like every other rapper in existence. The romanticism of drakeo is some of the funniest shyt ever. Dude was not on that level to be hyping him like this. At all.
