i was a super drake fan from comeback season up until Marvin's Room

and i thought Marvin's Room was :ohlawd: on first listen...but then it was like " wait...you gone call a nikka girl and shyt on him in the middle of the night :dahell:"

then i started really paying attention to what dude was saying and i just couldnt fukk with him...i grew out my emo simp phase i guess

he still drop some dope shyt here and there...but i dont even bother with the albums....or check for the singles for that matter...i gotta stumble onto that shyt.

i liked him initially for the same reason I liked Kanye at first..while everybody else was selling all the dope in the world, fukking my bytch, killing everybody...theses nikkas came off regular without being wack, "real hip hop" as nikkas :ld:

i was in college at the time so alot of what they were talking about was super relatable and it jammed.

People like melodic flows and vocals and adlibs like "yeah" after every bar than they like bars and lyricism (like say a Royce 5'9)

Drake makes music that appeals more to the casual listener (kids, white ppl, squares, independent women)


Average music listener isn't trying to hear Big Pun rhyme dictionary words. And most only claim they like Kendrick because it's the hipster thing to say. He's the modern day equivalent of I'm not a big rap game but I like Eminem.

The nikka is a cornball and culture vulture yet some of yall still Stan this man heavy.
I don't understand.

Even before the Pusha T and Meek mill beefs there was something off about this dude.

He doesn't even make music for real nikkas. Idk he makes decent songs sometimes but something is off as of he treats music like he an actor still and plays a role in all his shyt
We don't know this guy we like songs that he makes.

he said was he was the greatest while being a fraud who doesn't write his raps.

Tried to act woke in with blackface but looked like a clown because he's to light skinned

Impregnated a thot.

Am I going to neglect good music when I hear it because of these facts?

No.

Why? Because I'm a grown man with 2 kids a wife, a Brazillian Jiujitsu brown belt and a J o B.

This means some people literslly don't have time to align their music tastes with the petty personal choices of the artists they listen to.

He's going to have to be more psychologically destructive for me to start deleting catalogues

Dont confuse us with 14 year old cac bytches who happen to be his primary support base.

besides, he raps with the nasal voice of a fakkit
Cant write for shyt
Has no standout quotables
Zero substance in his music

Him playing Jimmy on Degrassi :TNG was a great role. And his Southern Smoke days were great as well. He lived up to his hype until 2013 (IMO).

Cause dude is just nice with it :wow:

If he’s gonna cornball it up, he’s gonna do it nicer than the next cornball.
:wow:

If he’s finna vulture some shyt, he’s bound to do it better than the next culture vulture.
:wow:

Boy has tracks on tracks, hits on hits, moments on moments.

Paved his lane and stays within it (mostly).

Has embraced and embodied this role of Canadian child actor turned mafioso rapper/R&B crooner/Pop Star and plays it up accordingly because the game will make you act in certain ways if you’re able to outwit and outlast.

Overall, bruh is sincere in his intentions. He does it all to entertain and create memories. I doubt that he wakes up plotting on how he can piss nikkas off today.

Created his own sound, rode others waves, whatever.
:yeshrug:He’s still a multi-talented cat who’s mastered the art of longevity and has carved out a solid career in show business with a good catalogue of music to show for as well, IMO.

And he wasn’t afraid to ask for help and put pen to the sheets with other nikkas.

Because, as he sees it, music is a collaborative process.
:umad:

Agree with the bolded.
