It is. Nobody said he will do bad numbers with this album. But it is garbage and his popularity will only decline from now onThe Coli told me Drake's run was ending

Em has a place amongst the greats but he shouldn't be one of the two or three faces of the genre when we look back at it in 20-30 years, due to skills and color. He's not one of the founders, and he doesn't belong there before Nas Jay Big and Pac to name just the most obvious selections, but at this rate it's very possible Drake and Em end up being the faces of a genre and culture that they really did nothing for.
Em made great music and helped show that a white boy can do it as nice as anyone, which helped open up the culture but that's not significant enough to overshadow the previously mentioned greats and the real pioneers. Really The Beastie Boys might have a more legitimate claim to the token white slot on Hip-Hop's Rushmore.
It'll be a travesty if Em and Drake end up collectively being the Elvis of rap, and stealing the shine from the artists that really paved the way artistically and commercially.
EDIT: I also really hope you're trolling with the bolded statement. That's actually part of what makes people hate whites, "infiltrating" other cultures can be interpreted in many ways. Was it great when white Europeans infiltrated Native American cultures by either killing them or forcing them to assimilate to the European way of life?
I think every culture, mainly artistic expression is open to everyone, a white Frenchman was the first to make motion pictures, and the whites/The French don't claim ownership to it or that other races can't do it, but we also live in a white supremacist system that shows clear preference for whites in just about every avenue in society, so I can understand why blacks are so adamant about not having rap/hip-hop as a culture highjacked from them.
If there was more equality, both racially and economically, it wouldn't be as big of a deal because blacks and people of all races would receive the proper credit for their accomplishments and equal opportunities to accomplish more both individually and collectively. If we ever see that day, stuff like this won't be a hot button issue, but it's going to take shyt like this being addressed before we can arrive at the day when it's no longer an issue.
Also, HUGE difference between self-hatred and self-awareness/knowledge of self.

Thats how you know the industry is fukking up. They should have BEEN on the digital wave. And tons of careers suffered from them being behind the fukking curve.
it is absolutely a crossover record and it was pop. It got play on rock stations because it was that pop/rapcore/punk crossover shyt that was hot in 1999. If you're 27, you were in middle school (barely) when this shyt came out. You really can't speak on it (respectfully).
shyt barely got played in hip hop circles so you can't even say it was a mainstream rap record. This wasn't Hypnotize.
The same way y'all attempt a rewrite on Em's 'humble real hip hop' beginnings is gonna be the same way Drake stans will do. "when Drake came out he was spitting real and taking hip hop to another level, then he went pop"
Views?
shyt's
One of his first popular early tracks was that singing, "Brand New" shyt.

The incredible thing about that LP was that it did another 800K on week 2.
That shyt was a fukking epic moment. EVERYONE was on it.

No. But they're counting 730K sales because Hotline Bling is on there as a bonus track.
If we all agree that Drake is no where near bigger than prime Em/50 how is he putting up these numbers that are far greater than theirs? I think the corporations are propping us this dude in a way that we've never seen before, not even with the white boy
