"we’ll see who’s around a decade from now"- Drake.. Excerpts from his XXL Interview inside

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

nikkas are in here like Drake has EVER fallen off or can't basically hit the "smash record" button with ease .

Drake is type cast at this point. He can't come out doing stuff differently than before because he's going to lose his core fan base. He either stays trying to be this generation's LL Cool J, or it's a wrap. I think it's a wrap however regardless.

Its seems like your boxing this guy into something you want him to be. Your really missing out on some great music.

 

[wire28]

Notice YOU mentioned Kendrick he didn't. We see what's on your mind.

aubrey stans are shook, they know his reign on the top was short like leprechauns

As far as the thread topic:


I think being in the game a decade and being relevant musically plus doing numbers is a hard feat. Thats why I salute Jay and Nas. Nas in particular since he doesn't really do club/radio bangers often. Look @ where 50 was 10 years ago and look at him today. Kanye pretty much dropped an album without the normal mainstream promo/set up and still did numbers. You just really never know. Drake can fall off in two years. Hip Hop fluctuates sporadically sometimes.

You're not paying attention. Read what he said, he's balancing club songs + girl songs + relatable rap. He's nothing like LL Cool J to me. Drake aint for everybody but "it's a wrap"? Cmon now... Just say you dont like him. lol

Basically, I mean dude has had some duds as far as singles go but he's never fallen off and won't anytime soon.

Talent will always win out. 50 was talented but relied more on gimmicks and his image. Drake is a legit songwriter and makes good music. He'll always have a lane.

50 was hired by puff daddy in 98 as a songwriter before curtis release ANY music..


50s writing >>>

dont ever compare that cac/jew homo hybrid to to curtis EVER again


these fakkits act like drake gon be the only artist in hip-hop history bside EM to stay on top forever


when he sells half of what TC did next release you will all be singing or hummin a different tune

 

[OG Talk]

I know they shouldnt

Common has never ever ever reached the pinnacle drake has

Common has always been the overlooked MC in any and every time period

Who is overlooking Common?

Do y'all speak for yourselves or those cacs from MTV that had you in your feelings the other night?

 

[MINT]

Drake, can't even release a great album

I don't give a pass to these average lyricists.

have a good night, going back to lsiten to great artists like Lupe Fiasco, Big Krit, Kendrick, Common and Nas

You are making thernbroom look like Common right now....

He's only been around a few years, the fukk you mean 'ever fallen off'

 

[up in here]

I think you impressed a lot of people when you went after Common. A lot of rap fans didn’t think you could get him.
There is a bunch of Common diehards who would never let you utter the words “Drake got” anything in front of them. I felt really hurt man. I felt like some injustice was done to me in a sense of we’re talking about Common, we’re talking a guy whose music I enjoy, a guy who I had never met, a guy who I never conversed with at that point. We’re talking about the guy outside the hearing impaired girl’s window with the sign cards with the love songs and he’s coming at me for being soft? That hurt me. I told him that. I’m like, “Man, you’re supposed to embrace what I’m doing. I’m balancing real rap with girl records with club records. I’m just trying to give people music to live with and for you, of all people, to attack me?” If Jeezy came at me and said I was soft, I would be like, “Yeah, I guess, probably.” It was just crazy for it to be him. Even when we linked up, it was like, “What are you doing? Why?” It was like, “I never met you? What happened?” I do know that when we finally connected in person it was like, “Yeah, let’s just dead it.” Which made me kind of feel like it was an album week thing, which it was, by the way. I don’t know if anyone remembers that—his album was coming out that week.

Yeah...common was lame for that.

The funny thing about it is that Common never even said the Sweet comments was about Drake until after Drake mentioned it at that concert. So technically Drake started the whole shyt by being extra sensitive about some random non specific adlibs on a Common song.

On a side note Sweet was a dope ass record

 

[stealthbomber]

at the comments in here. You guys can't be saying some of this stuff in real life can you?

I mean its not like dude is the GOAT but him some credit, damn. He knows how to put together good records that get popular. Not a lot of rappers know how to do that.

if i saw a black guy driving in his car with drake playing i would assume he's got a lotta white friends

Why nikkas in here like "man I think Drake might be hoppin off his soft sing-song girly shyt " like this aint dudes lead single off the album right now

 

[AnonymityX1000]

I'll give him credit, the drum program on this is harder than most of his shyt. But yeah he gettin' his Keith Sweat on right here.

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

Keith Sweat made Bump and Grind.

Not Simp and Whine

Fundamental difference. talent level seems the same though
