Wait whose jimmy prime

Jimmy Prime is a rapper from Toronto. Here's Drake crediting him for creating the nickname @4:48:



Also the caption for this pic



"I miss the 6!!! #Toronto #JimmyPrimeNamedIt #The6 #Home #SummerInToronto #Paradise"

Also, he's credited as a co-producer on "Now & Forever" with Eric Dingus. Jimmy has tons of songs himself produced by Eric Dingus and not one of them is co-produced by Jimmy. Just throwing that info out there

God damn, Drakes lawyer got rid of those tracks real quick. Apple and Sprite ain't trying to lose him

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Its pretty evident that drake is a plant and a manufactured product.


You know,like I and many others have said from day 1.


He is the rap version of rihanna. But with rihanna they can be transparent about it. They had to build up this fake persona for drake from day one.

Hes got a whole label dedicated to writing songs,producing the beats and creating the melodies and cadences.


Like @Art Barr said,he is a voice over artist.


Everything about him is a calculated decision made by a group of dudes in business suits


How far hip hop has fallen


Look how fukking quick those reference tracks keep getting taken down


Look at all the spam bots on twitter with code written to keep pumping out drake tweets with fake pictures of black men and women

Look at all the corporations and websites caping for him


Ive never seen anything like this in my life. It is so blatant

Im fukkin disgusted

You don't understand, I get that, but a verse? Nah.

Hooks are different, or a line or two. We have heard 4 songs so far, and from the same person, that is not what you're talking about. What you mean is just people having fun making music, someone has a good idea, shows you how they think it should go, and you use it, but you are doing most of the work, so its really still your shyt. When the same person is doing this, now someone is doing your job. If this were different people I would be thinking like you, but considering Drake has changed styles, and he has gotten bigger(less time to get into his craft) and the references are from the same person, I think this is a case of a fraud rapper.

What I'm saying is, this is Drake we're talking about. Not Kool G Rap or KRS-One or some shyt.

He's an R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, whatever artist. He isn't some battle tested MC that was groomed in the pillars of the culture. Kanye took whole songs from dudes that wrote for him. But he's Hip Hop. So should we take a second look at his catalogue now? Of course not. I definitely understand how Drake's success may upset people. But this isn't some unique situation. We can pretend it is because we don't like him as an artist or whatever, but this is the same shyt that Kanye did to a much bigger degree during his best years. Whole songs written by lesser known MC's. Does that make Kanye a fraud? Definitely not. And no one says they're the best more than he has! LOL!!

I just think it's corny for us to all of a sudden front like Drake was on some Top 10 MC's list all this time. Dude has always been on the R&B/Pop shyt. Why now are we pretending that he's been some elite MC and up there with the greats. That's phony.

Meek isn't messing anything up but his own career.

He's not in a space where he can do any of this. He's not Nas. At the end of the day, away from all of the gossip and shyt, if he had the music to actually hold people, he'd be looking a lot better here. This isn't about Drake having the machine behind him. Hov had the same shyt going for himself back in 2001. Nas was done. Everyone knows that. But Nas had the music. So he was basically reborn after that. Labels can't manipulate the actual quality of music. And they can't do that with access either. We have more access than ever now. We're listening to reference tracks these days. We can't blame the labels for everything. Sometimes an artist just isn't that great. And the quality of Meek's music, including his comeback, aren't on the level of an "Ether", or track that could boost his status in Hip Hop.

You would need that level of talent to really do damage here. He just doesn't have that. Nas went against labels and radio during a time when they had more control than ever, and were at their most profitable. And he came out on top. There are no excuses for how Meek's failed here. Drake's career isn't built on credibility like most MC's. He's not necessarily genre-specific. That's why he'll continue to flourish. It's not Hip Hop. He's not limited by the same rules as real MC's. That cat, whether we like it or not, will be around for awhile. Because he's built a fanbase that's about as diverse as it gets. And they simply don't care about half of the shyt we're in here going back and forth about. It's pop music.

Nas because no one was going at Jay, and being so bold. Jay was the big man, and people wanted to see him fall for a minute, but Jay still sold music months after that, and had hip hop people like him. And Nas had mixtapes on lock, it wasn't just about the radio. If meek came with a good battle song, he could have done Drake bad.

As far as Drake, he won't last. Even though he is pop, this is still rap music, and shyt doesn't last when you get exposed. I know you remember boss. She was the shyt, got exposed, and boom she was gone. Drake is different, but its the same shyt. Plus, hes pop, and the definitely dont last. We are just arguing though, but remember my post, and watch all of it come true. I wish it was a way we can stamp this. Oh well, time will tell.

Why do people keep bringing up Omillio?
It's his vocals on Give it to Me. He isn't credited because he took the lyrics from Rick James song of the same name so Rick got the publishing. He's in the video rapping the lyrics.

It's also on the Dynasty album - a compilation designed for the Rocafella roster to shine.


Nobody knew QM wrote these hooks and penned these verses.

 

[KOohbt]

meek got scammed then clowned by the country for calling drake out

 

[GoldenGlove]

Meek could have played this situation so much better than this.

He honestly could have just posted the reference tracks and played off the talk on that... instead of dropping the song alongside the ref. tracks.
He should have went harder with the karaoke angle... the internet gave him shyt to work with but it's like he didn't even use any of it

Most importantly, the song just isn't anything you would want to play again. The best diss records are great songs at their core. Him jumbling up skits and clips of other stuff midway through kill the song. Man, I'm kind of salty that this happened with Meek and Drake instead of somebody else who's more witty with shyt.

It's pretty bad that you have a rapper who's been outed to being a fraud and not writing... and you still going to lose, because you just didn't think shyt through.



He didn't need an ETHER, but he def needed an Exodus 23:1 type of song to put his foot on Drake's neck here. Now this shyt's done

True, but Kanye proved his skills are nice. When its time to freestyle, he did it, and real freestyling. You say no one takes drake as a serious MC, but he is on the sprite shyt with real mcs, so what am I supposed to think? He is always implying he is part of the greats, and others are cosigning him.

 

[KeysT]

Don't make a difference to me. I'll still bump drake, meek lost heavy and Q. Miller about to possibly be a big name if he can spin this correctly.

And now your opinion on hiphop means nothing. Thanks for letting us all know.

Pusha need to pen another Exodus 23:1

We can't let this fakkit live again .

Breh which songs did Kanye take wholesale from other rappers?

You can't compare Drake to Kanye. Drake has never made a beat in his life. He doesn't have any producer credits on his album. If someone else did all of Ye's beats - yes we would look at Kanye differently. If someone else made the beat to Heart of the City or the Be Intro we would look at him funny. And nobody considers him a GOAT for his rapping.

Drake gets put in that bracket of the best MC of his generation no doubt. People talk about he and Kendrick as contemporaries. He talks of his own writing ability. He talks about the 'competition' but he has a huge staff of writers.

nikkas is back tracking. Drake was never in that Kanye or Dr. Dre bracket. That's why he's on billboards with Rakim, Biggie and Nas.

I never viewed Drake as this pop product personally. Or a producer rapper. I thought he wrote his rap lyrics at the very least. Maybe some help on the pop hooks from time. But not all this.

 

[be back in a bit]

Nas because no one was going at Jay, and being so bold. Jay was the big man, and people wanted to see him fall for a minute, but Jay still sold music months after that, and had hip hop people like him.

I disagree. I think because Drake collaborates with other people, it will help him last long than most other artists. Similar to Kanye. Kanye is one of the few rap artists to remain on top for 10+ years. And this is because he scouts good talent, gets them to make him beats and help him write songs that sound fresh and modern. The rappers that fall off are the one trick ponies who don't have talented people helping them out.
