What backlash? There has literally been no backlash at all. If anything there needs to be some backlash for this guy faking his whole career. On top of it his fans keep making it worse by constantly shifting their stance on subjects to protect The Drakes.

Exacty. fakkit wrote a long ass article acting like the whole world criticizing Drake when it's really just the net. This dude Ernest probably posts on here and poses as a Drake dikkride and wrote this article out of anger

For real. Weren't they saying "It's not an issue, only 4 guys on the net care about this." If that was true why is there such a strong campaign going on to sweep this under the rug. If it's just nerds that care than why is this guy dedicating hours to writing up essays on the subject.

Let's imagine for one second that a sea of reference tracks came out for someone w/ less influence & power, let's say "Joey Badass" . (You could add anyone at this point) Do you think people would be saying "He's still great"? Let's make this interesting (keep up..) Let's say Joey Bad ass is a rival to Drake because he disses him. What do you think the Drake fans would do? The same thing I see people in here making critical points about Drake. This is all about position yourself as a ally in the media.
This is a way to attempt to limit the damage.

The thing I don't care for is the hypocrisy. Certain rappers are given passes, certain rappers are given targets for writing. For some odd reason, a lot of the connected blogs/writers who get *exclusive content/info/passes to shows* they seem to be on the side of "it doesn't matter" Now you can run w/ that anyway you want to, but it doesn't change the obvious nature what is going on. Which is, protect the brand, PROTECT the BRAND. Good for them but it looks really suspect when the blog media/dj/radio/ cartel says "it doesn't matter" all in unison. Sure, it doesn't matter, because you got passes to the ovofest for the next ten summers on deck. Amazing how that works......good for you, I hope you enjoy the party. Now where I'm from that's called giving you the truth w/ no filter. And a lot of the fans can't take a honest statement like that.


FOH x 10 if you think Drake's team wouldn't use this allegation as a crutch in a battle against Jay Z,Kendrick (Take your pick). Drake said he read that cliche pseudo strategy book "48 Laws" I'd believe him

P.s. what do you know? I just wanted to see where this writers credentials in terms of if he's fielding questions like a balanced nuanced journalist or a white house press secretary for the BushAdministration. What do you know? Ovofest passes on deck. I swear some of you are so fukking gullible, it is scary.

"People want Drake to be the villain so bad that they’ll go to any length to discredit him."

I'm :dead: at "great lengths" being a working internet connection, because that's literally all you needed to hear the reference tracks, which did far more to discredit him than anything I personally ever did.

It was more the fact that Team Drake just ignored the allegation (because we know it's true) and how the entire industry and even corporations were caping for Aubrey and his team.

But Meek did himself no favors either. :manny:


Everyone on Drake's side addressed it.
drake in interviews and his albums has position himself as jay-z heir apparent

he always brag about how lethal of a rapper he is


never the flow though:martin:

every song is drake featuring drake :francis:

first name greatest last name ever :upsetfavre:

Debates growin' 'bout who they think is the best now?:troll:

the flow on steroids never pass a physical :ohhh:


people act like drake was a chingy or nelly and got exposed

drake through force a will has made himself the era jay-z or ll cool J

Every rapper has said similar shyt. Thats just rap cliche' shyt.

get over it bytch.

you gone tell Drake he aint the greatest.

But let’s be honest, most of the criticism is faux-righteous, social justice pandering, covered by an insidious, transparent, personal vendetta against Drake. Some people really haven’t gotten over the fact that this biracial, Canadian, former child actor, borderline nerd is still the most successful motherfukker in the rap game.

the truth no vaseline :whew:
This

All that has to be said.


But apparently he was a top 10 rapper of all time until the allegations :mjlol:..

Stop it brehs

Ernest Baker ghostwrites my posts. He's a Drake Stan who's infatuated with Drake's Tan.
