Kendrick's BET Cypher Verse (Snippet)

[Rapmastermind]

Incorrect. If there's been one consistency throughout the entire hip hop history is the fickleness of its fans. They'll turn on that rapper quick once they feel like he doesn't associate himself with hip hop and more in marriage in making pop tunes. It happened to Run-DMC, it happened to MC Hammer, it happened to Puffy, it happened to PM Dawn, it happened to Ja Rule and ironically to 50 Cent. It is a consistent theme. Drake is already on interviews talking about he rather do more R&B than hip hop and calling himself "the Marvin Gaye of Rap". How'd you think that comes across to the typical hip hop head? Meanwhile you have K. Dot that keeping it strictly hip hop and basically calling this dude out.

Props for Drake if he CAN break through this, but history has it against him.

You summed it perfectly. All these young kats don't have a knowledge of Hip Hop History and they think Drake can't fall off when it's clear he hasn't even passed the success of rappers like Luda, 50 Cent, T.I., Nelly and Ja Rule yet. All rappers who fell from grace after massive success. Hip Hop goes in cycles.

^^^^^^

See how emotional they get when u point out the obvious about Kdot. Like i said in the original post the hiphop blogosphere has a bias towards Kdot. Yall wish he was as nice as hes hyped up to be. There is nothing Drake can do to win THIS crowd. Not stanning just being real. That aint hiphop when we let our personal bias stand in the way of critiquing verses and music. In yall minds Kdot already won no matter what Aubreys response is.

Such a hypocritical post but you know what I'll let your stay in your world.

Exactly, you would think Aubrey would want Abel to be Philip to his Terrance and have the entire world singing



and have a canadian version of ashford and simpson, hell even the rap game mounties, why not blow nikkas up from your country and get them platinum plaques vs blowing other nikkas up, dont make no kind of sense

You know he makes more money off The Weeknd then he does with his own music considering that deal hes in with universal/cash money/young money

 

[We Ready]

Answer me this...


How come nearly every rapper named in the control verse have all said the verse wasn't a diss. Look at Drakes interviews then look at theirs... Which comes off more feminine? I'll wait.



The nerve to speak about being emotional when Drake and his fans are the epitome of that statement you made.

I swear Kendrick gets away with the most mediocre shyt when it comes to rapping. Being somewhat neutral to both he and Drake, its obvious the blogs have a bias towards Kendrick. Drake can go toe to toe with him lyrically but yall would just dismiss it like yall do with any rapper that yall "collectively" hate. Kdot aint nearly as nice as yall want him to be

lol when does that Ha Ha part i think of Dave Chappelle for some reason lol

No it really doesn't. I don't think Drake has anything in common with the rappers you named to be honest, besides them being in the same genre.

Well, Drake do have a lot in common with PM Dawn. But that isn't the point I am making. It's not about what the rapper's image was. It's about their core relationship with the actual hip hop fanbase and how fickle that fanbase is. For instance, I do not see anything that Ja Rule was doing when from the start of him blowing up to when 50 Cent (re)emerged onto the scene and went directly at Ja. His brand of music always been consistently the same radio-friendly type joints. And they were consistently major hit records. There was NOTHING at all that he done differently that made his fans turn on him. They just simple did, because of the new kid on the block stealing the shine.

Hell, I'll use LL Cool J as an example. Back in 1987, LL was the largest MC out with the highest selling rap album of that year. That following year, almost immediately that same fanbase that LL Cool J had turned on him. Why? Because the hip hop climate changed and everyone started being on that conscious sh*t while LL was still doing the same stuff that got him that national appeal to begin with. For two years straight fans were HATING on LL for no reason at all except that's not what's "hot" right now. That's why many called "Mama Said Knock You Out" one of the biggest rap comeback albums ever recorded.

This has everything to do with the fickleness of FANS in hip hop. Kendrick and that team is sensing blood in the water and unless Drake is smart, calculated-wise, he'll get burned and those same mega-fans he has right now will turn on him quick. That's how the nature in rap music goes. IMO, Drake made a huge mistake in belittling the hip hop culture in the first place by these interviews of him not trying to be more "hip hop". I mean, he don't want to be like PM Dawn and have a KRS-One physically thrown them off the stage.

I seriously doubt that Kendrick really hates Drake.

This is part of some grand scheme. Aftermath always got something up their sleeve smh

 

[Mr. Somebody]

The blatant reference to Drakes album and then singling out an individual who is being tucked back in his pajama clothes after referencing Drakes album by name, friend.

 

[NSSVO]

Drake is going to go through because he doesn't flood the market. People don't get tired of Drake because Drake doesn't play himself out. By the third album, how many G-Unit albums did we get? Ja Rule was on everybody's record. Lil' Wayne drops like 1 or 2 mixtapes in between albums each time. Plus he gives features away now. nikka doesn't even feature on his boss' albums, breh.

Friend, I was dumbfounded that he asked the question myself. I think you quoted the wrong friend, friend.

Jah Rule wasnt subtle enough. He was full on singing his heart out up there when he cant sing. It made hiphop look bad. When 50 did his little harmonizing it was just real subtle and brief. Jah up there talkin about. WHERE WOULD I B WITHOUT YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU It rubbed a lot of people the wrong way unlike 50 harmonizing, God gave me style he gave me grace...
