One has to go: Drake, Kendrick, Cole.

Cole

That just means u way too invested in these nikkaz lives...when I hear drake"s songs and bars I dnt think " Drake going thru it with these bytches"
I think " it be like dat sometimes"
In other words I apply it to myself, I dnt care bout dese nikkaz lives..make music that I can relate and live on I'm Gucci I'm not tryna know these rappers, jus know em enough to where I can relate

Wrong. Hip Hop is supposed to be an honest genre. Regardless if the stories are true, it means something that the person who wrote it has put their own pen to work. And that's what makes Prince who he is, and other artists who they are.

We can't change the rules for Hip Hop for one artist. I don't listen to Jay or Nas because I think everything that they say is true, I listen to them because I know for a fact that it's their pen. That matters in our culture.

Quentin Miller could replace Drake so it's not like his Stans would be missing anything

Uhhh have u even heard miller's music

That sht horrible

get Drake outta here this is a no brainer...even if the vote was Drake vs. Vanilla Ice I'm still voting Drake

They're pretty much the same thing.

If you pick Drake you essentially erase your social life for the last...6 years?

yes the past 6 years need to be erased :huhhuh:

Drake consigns those syrup sipping zombies. When you're the guy at the top, it's your job to play Sheriff. Certain things don't get introduced to the mainstream if he's not trend hopping on them to stay relevant.

Yea but that was after they kinda got big, all of those guy grew pretty organically from local hits to national stars well before Drake gave the thumbs up in fact, I would say that was just another example of him riding the moment.

Again ur not listening...how they come about creating the product doesn't affect my listening experience, why?

Because these nikkaz ain't my idols, I do not look up to them, they are not my role models none of that, leave that to the fatherless kids to worry about

As for me I listen to the music for me
So if I feel wat they saying then I feel it,
If I feel the cadence or flow, then I feel it
Period bottom line...the moment u stop looking for father figures in rappers is when ull finally be able to enjoy the music without the other bullsht.

I listen to them cuz they drop good sht, it's rlly that simple dawg

 

[Illuminatos]

Well you can't get rid of the hottest rapper for the last 3 years so Drake can't go.

Kendrick's first album was a "classic" in most people's eyes so he can't go.

Me personally I would get rid of Kendrick cause he's meh to me but if I had to go on impact it would have to be Cole and I'm a huge Cole fan.

You're a shytty Hip Hop fan then. It ain't about looking for "fathers" in Hip Hop. I'd feel the same way if I found out Cobain didn't write all of Nirvanas music. Or if I found out Prince didn't write PR/CONTRO/SOTT and all his shyt.

Or if Bob Marley didn't write his music.

Pen matters. For fair weather supporters like yourself who are just going to hop on the next big thing when it comes (as you will when Drakes successor arrives) then it doesn't matter.

 

[Birnin Zana]

Get the n!gga that don't write his own rhymes all the way the fvck outta here

shyt is obvious, easiest "one has to go" decision to date.

Nah see it is bout looking for father figures because u are basically letting what u feel to be lack of integrity of an artist shape and dictate ur listening experience
In other words u are letting circumstances of the artist outside of the record influence ur enjoyment of the record
That is putting stake in the personal lives and integrity of these artists, which means u are seeking a role model in ur artists.
And hey nun wrong with that but just as long as u recognize. See me, I could give a fck bout these nikkaz, all they are are nikkaz who make my life better with their music, idc bout the politics, how much they give back, how much babies they kissed, none of that. Because I'm not looking for role models here. I'm looking for music, period. And that's wat separates u and me, u looking for role models and I'm jus lookin for good music. End of story.
