I think you're misunderstanding Joe's pointI think I got his point. Let's see.
So Drake is on the level of stardom as Jay and Eminem right?. Marshall wasn't cut out to be in the public eye. Joe believes that. Jay enjoys being in the public eye and Joe thinks he's done hip-hop a disservice in a way as the flag bearer of hip-hip.
Joe as an old head is concerned with the direction of hip-hop. He thinks nikkas gonna be done after all this streaming shyt. He wants more out of Drake because if Drake can do what he wants to do then he can get other nikkas on.
But here's where Joe's argument falls apart. Drake has never done or said anything that isn't on Views. Drake has always been about little relationship bullshyt. Drake isn't Pac, he's not trying to be a revolutionary and never will be.

Well that's evolution. If you're that good at being introspective...and you're inspired, you'll reach that new level that you've only skimmed before. Drake can do that....he just didn't do that with ViewsBudden puts unreasonable expectations on Drake. Just like a Father who never made it to the league but whose son broke thru.
Budden gotta stop trying to live vicariously thru Kirby. Drake was never that deep and his music was never on "that" level of introspection. Its always been surface level shallow shyt. Thats why the girls n lil kids love it.
Drake was never going to be the new pac who was gonna save the world and music![]()
ReceiptsIts been rumored that he did keep Joe's albums on the shelf. or at least thats what Joe believed back then (and now) cuz after "Pump It Up" son was trying be positioned as that new nikka at Def Jam, with Hov watching over him...hov only fukked with him cuz of dj clue and duro and them.
And of course "Talk To Em" was pretty much him challenging Hov
ALL these shots came out while he was/just leaving Def Jam
