Busta Rhymes has Jamaican parents. So did Biggie Smalls, he also dropped into a Jamaican accent a few times.

Drake is from Toronto - hella Jamaicans there. If he where from Backwoods USA you might have a point but he's not.

This is a question that needs an answer. A minute ago he was running with somalis and their slanguage wasn't "bleeding" into him. Now that meek exposed him about the QM giving him that country talk and have to find a new wave to ride he's on "di man dem ting" :comeon:

As real Jamaicans say "ALL OV A SUDDEN SUH,DIS AH IM NEW TING!" :martin:

It's not that big a deal. He's a chameleon.

If dude started sounding like a country singer or a Chinese immigrant, then I'd say "wtf". But dude basically sounds like the Black people he spends a lot of time with/trying to appeal to from cities he has real ties to: Houston and Toronto.

But y'all confused? :why: How is this a confusing issue?

Half of Toronto has a jafakin accent in their verbal repertoire

truss :russ:

and y'all need better uses of your time than constantly talking about why Coli's favorite rapper/obvious pop star has a certain accent.

I never understand arguments dealing with authenticity when it comes to pop acts. Like seriously :snoop:

Who ran Iggy out the game?

She was a 1 hit wonder and nothing more
Breh there were so many threads here and tumblr posts elsewhere about her being an affront to blacks people, how she was stealing and disrespecting the culture etc.

Drake has always been a culture vulture and proves race doesn't make you hip hop. Eminem will always be more hip hop than Drake, who grew up a well off child actor. First he pretended he was w backpacker then he pretended he was from Houston then he wanted to be tough then it was all about the 6 now it's dancehall. Dude is a joke.

You just wanted to hate on Drake? Cause your post had little to do with mine

None of that ran Iggy off

You have a WOAT banner. You really want to talk about people misusing their time bruh?:mjlol:

I just want to know one person faking an accent is okay but another isn't. Any one of you drake stans could shut this thread down with that knowledge but you guys won't because you can't. :troll:

Em gets more respect that Drake cause he came up in the ranks of rap battling and making it big, plus catching the eyes of Dr. Dre. Drake basically acted his whole career. even when he was starting to rap.
