What are your thoughts on the Sprite shyt then? You think he deserves to be mentioned/advertised among the upper echelon of the genre's most celebrated artists/MCs?

You can find an example of what outbackbread is saying in this very thread
Just look:
nothing is wrong with pop music thats fly for the clubs, nothing is wrong with EDM music either. nothing is wrong with any top 100 music. The problem we have with drake being bigger than life. Is that its a fraud portraying himself as some great rapper like those of the past when he's not that guy. and it makes it that much worse that his fanbase... you know the ones that say 'who cares about all that'. well black people (enough still do) care about all that stuff. there's a reason we care. hiphop isnt pop. there are times where a hot hiphop song will make it into the stratosphere and become pop. but hiphop at its foundation is about a people's struggle and how they react to said struggle(laugh, cry, have fun, bust ya guns, etc.) When you hear a song like started from the bottom. you're like I can vibe with this. a lot of us black folks have started from the bottom. But once you realize you didnt start from the bottom half jewish kid. stop it. you start to feel some type of way. then once you realize the songs you do like due to the fact you like the flow and the vibe of the song, then someone puts you up on the fact he's literally stealing up and coming rappers entire styles, thats not authentic either. But lets be clear. yall allowing a CO in Rick ross become very popular and copping pleas for him when he was called out, opened the door for a drake. we warned you about this.I understand that it's slowly becoming the cool thing to hate son because of all the accusations (some valid some still need proof) but when his music comes on in public places (clubs, bars, radio, arenas, festivals etc) do you deny the quality and begin trying to convince others that he is a "fraud" or do you enjoy the music?
Straight up question...
I've really grown to enjoy his music and seldom do I hear anyone throwing him shade offline so I want to know?
I'm not really hyped about "Views From The 6".. I wouldn't be mad if he scrapped that album and came with something fresh but for real.. I want to hear yall's answers
dude ...first of all.......IM FAR FROM WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A "STAN"
that some shyt as far as im concerned that INTERNET DUDES such as yourself are fascinated about
im simply a "consumer" I've accepted that role...ever since I consumed the "product" of artists I liked such as
KOOL KEITH, KRS ONE, GOODIE MOB, POSDONOUS and LORD FINESSE
im also a 40 year old flabby and sick former b-boy who got familiar with the "creative process" of these "artists" enough to realize
THIS IS NOT A CULTURE!!!!!!....it's a BUSINESS
I respect and see the "game" for what it is....one big dog and pony show full of marketing schemes and trends
so for the record my old larry holmes looking azz is not a "cheerleading fan" for DRAKE or ANY ARTIST FOR THAT MATTER...
I simply like what I hear when I happen to be commuting or somebody happens to play his music over the jukebox at the local sports bar I attend
I AINT NEVER EVEN PURCHASED ANY RETAIL DRAKE MUSIC .....only thing I got hold of was a BOOTLEG COPY of THANK ME LATER for 5 bucks from some
African dude in Decatur Ga.
like I said im old dude
Drake is NOT making music for my generation or what I can relate to, but what I do hear over the airwaves is CATCHY and ENTERTAINING...
No he isn't on the wavelength of rappers I admired such as the KANE's, ANDRE 3000'S, OC's, G Raps and Nas
he simply does whats necessary to get the attention that evidently has translated into sales
and GOT ALL YALL MONKEY AZZ WANNA BE B-BOYS up in arms.....over NOTHING
see my days of consuming WORTHWHILE MUSIC is over as far as im concerned..i just come in this board for the fukkery, viral information and networking
so for me.........I DON'T GIVE A FUKK...
last RAP ALBUM I recall buying was DEVIN DA DUDE's "TO DA EXTREME" back in 04.....
I JUST FIND IT AMUSING that these so-called "HIGH PRIESTS OF HIP HOP" on this board has made him the SOURCE OF ALL THINGS EVIL in hip hop
listen I remember being in studios in Atlanta back in the early days of the trap movement watching cats do the SAME DAMN THING drake is doing
having access to a team of writers, connected to powerful jewish bosses in the game, getting all the perks of simply being assocociated with someone
and im a tell ya...LIKE I TELL ALL MY BROKE AZZ FRIENDS OR PEOPLE SIMPLY WILLING TO LISTEN ON HOW TO MAKE IT REGARDLESS WHAT FIELD U IN
Its NOT what YOU KNOW..it's WHO YOU KNOW
DRAKE might not know how to craft his own flow ...but he knows how to get to the dough...
and to all yall "cultural" fools out there arguing me saying "MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING"
you right
it's not EVERYTHING
IT'S THE ONLY THING
I'm saying...we're in a thread...discussing a topic...a relevant topic in hip hop...and she out here getting butthurtWatch how you can tell the difference between a stan and an objective fan
Answered the question without getting emotional or having to insult someone or rely on smileys
Cant answer the question so relies on corny rhetoric.
No it was a culture during sugar hill and its still a culture now. now the mainstream form of it is turning into nothing but a business where as before it was part culture part business. there have always been frauds out there. but not pushed on the masses as the One like drake has. But thats for a reason. its optics friend. extra bright skinned half jewish dude. its really that simple. if drake was a half african american and half brown skin carribean. you wouldnt see this level of a push behind a fraudulent act.dude ...first of all.......IM FAR FROM WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A "STAN"

Drake does a great job of blending the modern hip hop sound with conventional R&B. He also is a pretty decent rapper. Whether he's reading someone else's raps or he's spitting his own. He makes good music.
You prolly are that nikka, just posting under this alias. Now that I mention dude, I haven't seen his shytposting in a minute@10bands50bands100bandsQM is the GOAT![]()
I love how y'all act like dude doesn't get any love whatsoever in the hoodAnd all those artist had a predominate black fanbase before crossingover its never been the other way around
So now you telling me a singer's vocal talent doesn't matter?![]()
