"Spin: is Drake's envy of K Dot rooted in K having legit street roots?"


  

          

like, Kendrick is getting love and sales for an album that ppl feel is genuine, rooted in a real street level experience, which, in hip-hop, means something

Drake is cool, but folks see him as a manufactured pop star who can rap good, but whose story of child-star rise to rap fame (in Canada no less) weakens his cred in an artform born in the streets

Canada... isnt jus lyke Compton?

but can I just point out two things about the whole Drake-Kendrick situation?

1. Drake is kinda like 50 in a way...like how 50 would always talk about how irrelevant the rappers that he surpassed in popularity were when he was on top, then next thing you know, he became the embodiment of many of the things he ridiculed...I got nothing against him, but 2010s' 50 is a failure by '03-'07 50's own standards that he established while on top.

Drake is passive-aggressive though. He constantly talks about how he's just doin' him, and is successful at it, but doesn't understand why all these other rappers are so jealous--it's only indirectly Drake's fault that they're not winning. Drake acts like jealousy is the only reason a male rapper or rap listener could dislike him. Now, whether he is or not, he sounds jealous and up to his eyeballs in mad whenever Kendrick's name comes up.

2. Remember...2010, was it? Common made "Sweet", likely inspired by Drake and others, not necessarily about Drake in my view, but, as it seems to me, feeding off the things that Drake represents in order to make a certain aggressive sound. Common tried to express something like that, and people called him cowardly and accused him of sneak-dissing and, of course, jealousy. Drake was one of them, and he was vocal about it.

Fastforward to Kendrick and "Control"-mania...Drake drops "The Language", which...you can't tell me it ain't inspired by Kendrick in much the same way that Drake inspired "Sweet". And Drake "pulls a Common" in that whole situation. I wonder if he sees the irony.

Even though everyone who rules hip hop seems like he's king FOR.E.VER while he's hot, it's always funny in retrospect how quick rap karma moves.

Where is the evidence of Drake's envy of Kendrick? What does he have to be envious about? He's more successful commercially and just as acclaimed critically. He is well respected in the eyes of the public, critic and his peers.

I think GKMC is better than NWTS or any of Drake's albums, but Drake has a solid body of work as well. Drake's commercial success makes it easier for an artist like Kendrick (also very cerebral and self aware) to pop commercially. Not to mention Drake being on one of Kendrick's highest topping singles...

Drake came up acting, as we all know, but he has paid his dues. He came up in the Houston rap scene and is tied to one of rap's longest tenured crews. And in 2014, is rap even still street anymore? Regardless, what does he have to be envious about?

There are a few instances, but two standout.....

His weird passive aggressive quotes following Lamar's "Control" verse being one of them...Every other rapper that got name checked (besides Papoose who took it to a very idiotic place...) either went in the studio to answer Kendrick Lamar or they praised the records' spirit....

But Drake pulled the whole, "No one has even memorized that song" comment.....It was a moment of bitch-madeness....(new word!)

Oh yeah...A colleague of mines who recently interviewed him for a magazine (that shall remain nameless) mentioned how Drake became VERY defensive and agitated when Kendrick's name was brought up...

Obviously, the Macklemore quote is less proof....But once u start to see those cracks it's easy to fish....

He's probably sick of being asked about Kendrick when his stuff is still poppin.

Eh, Kendrick "allegedly" had an indirect response to Drake's "alleged" indirect response, so it kinda goes both ways.

Nah...he's just sick of being pitted as the ultra-commercial dude that's soft and appeals to chicks...

Oh yeah...I got it wrong...My boy didn't even ask him about Kendrick...Drake brought him up (and not even by name) on some subliminal shit...lol

Drake is in a weird place...Commercially he is the biggest rapper on the planet in 2014....But he is in the same place LL was in 1988-89 (who could forget when Cool J got booed at the Stop The Violence rally)....He is immensely successful but a lot of people have no use for him and think he's a sensitive dick...

Drake finds it hard to take that in when he's on top of the world...And then Kendrick comes along...

When you start shitting on dead actors taking away your cover it's easy to see what's happening....

I'm looking forward to see dude make his Mama Said Knock You Out....It's going to be interesting...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

21. "Don't insult LL"
In response to Reply # 14


  

          

I get the comparison...super popular rapper with a large female and non Hip Hop following but LL still had a lot more respect as an MC than Drake does. The whole booing at the Stop The Violence rally was more about him being seen as a "relic" MC who had no type of socially conscious material in his music (imagine that happening today).

>Drake is in a weird place...Commercially he is the biggest

>

That's another big difference between Drake & LL. LL seemed much more comfortable with who he was than Drake does. He didn't roll with a crew, he didn't jump on guest features for credibility. He was a stand alone MC that not only was the cornerstone of building Def Jam while having that crossover appeal.

>When you start shitting on dead actors taking away your cover
>it's easy to see what's happening....
>
>I'm looking forward to see dude make his Mama Said Knock You
>Out....It's going to be interesting...

He doesn't have a Mama Said Knock You Out in him. He's more Kwame than LL. He can have a hugely popular album or single but he'll never make an album as important to Hip Hop as Radio, Bad or Mama.

No...the booing was about LL being perceived as too arrogant and out of touch to appear on the "Self Destruction" record...There were a few other folks at that event that were not making socially conscious songs...But they didn't get booed....The irony? LL went around Russell Simmons' stupid ass cock block of Def Jam acts/Rush acts (beyond PE) and sat in a corner with MC Lyte to co-write her part for "Self Destruction"...

But the public had little little knowledge of this...They just saw LL as the biggest mainstream rapper on the planet who was seen as an arrogant asshole...LL was going to get shitted on regardless...

And again...I never said LL and Drake were the same...I said that in their respective era, the criticism and hate that was thrown at them share some similarities....

Nah...Let's be clear here...Drake made a very important album...A landmark album...The So Far Gone mixtape is indeed that album that basically signaled hip-hop's change...To the youngins Drake is their Jay-Z...He is the Leader of the New School literally...That album changed A LOT of things for better and for worse...

That's why Drake is so sensitive...Because he craves the respect of his peers and critics and the industry...

And most of the time he doesn't receive the peer/critical/industry love that say Kendrick receives....

If you were the biggest selling hip-hop act in the world, could sell out arenas coast to coast and also happened to be overtly sensitive, it's not hard to see how you would react...lol

But I'm just saying LL started from a much more respected place than Drake did.

That's what I mean about being out of touch. The other folks weren't the biggest rappers in the world at that time. That always makes you a target.

Agreed

I said I can understand why you would make the comparison I just wanted to point out that the similarities are slight and that LL was much more respected than Drake is.

But the difference is that change isn't universally celebrated in Hip Hop. Even the harshest LL critic knew that "Radio" was great and he really wasn't seen as the outsider that Drake is and his rep as catering to the ladies wasn't until later on. Drake came out of the box as the Canadian kid actor who made chick records.

Can't argue with that at all.

5. "the point is the intersection of the two"
In response to Reply # 4


  

          

the critical acclaim is partially bc Kendrick's music is perceived to have a hip-hop legitimacy that Coffee Cake's doesnt

Drake sells & gets props

kendrick sells, gets props AND has street/hiphop legitimacy

thats important to Drake it seems

he's soft & an outsider & it's eating him up

making what sounds much closer to a classic rap album existing in the 2010s, vs. Drake making music that sounds *too* influenced by 'swag rap'. GKMC sounds influenced by Outkast and Nas etc., Nothing Was The Same has the little nods to Wu-Tang and what not, but definitely sounds further removed from being a 'classic rap album'

9. "It's the acclaim. Street dudes bump Drake"
In response to Reply # 5


  

          

hell they bump Beyonce too from according what I heard those few weeks when that album was everywhere with Drunk In Love/Partition bass rattlers. "Started From the Bottom" was a huge street hit.

But, Drake being Drake, he reads the Rollingstones, the Pitchforks, etc. Dude won't have pop rap sewn up in a year where Eminem drops a new record in addition to the rise of Macklemore, and he won't have the critical acclaim when Kendrick drops such a well curated and planned concept album.

With Take Care he had the best of those worlds, with this record, neither. Most people wouldn't care, but...

In response to Reply # 12


  

          

Kendrick is still from Compton & Drake is still from Toronto

even w/ Drake as the soundtrack i feel like K could walk streets that Drake would need a bodyguard for

these are the perceptions anyway & i think those perceptions make Drake a little green

cause nobody would know who the fuk he is

Drake is a very recognizable superstar

but even with that said thats still a dumbass statement to make

you think Lil Wayne can walk the streets of Magnolia without security nowadays?

you think Jayz is kicking it around Marcy with no security?

"Street dudes" play his hit songs the same way they might play Trey Songz or Beyonce but as far as the respect factor there's no question that Kendrick is held in higher regard.

51. "im just tryna figure out the root of drake's envy toward kendrick"
In response to Reply # 48


  

          

the envy is there, it's clear

now i surmised that his envy is rooted in Kdot being more accepted by "heads" bc his background & narrative are connected to growing up in the hood

now, whether you, i or anyone thinks this is relevant to being good at rap music makes no difference

my point is that, perhaps its the lack of a real (ie not manufactured by being down w/ YMCMB or throwing bottles at Chris Brown) street level connection to the culture that causes cats to value Kenny's narrative more, and that perhaps this bothers Drake, whether he fronts like a thug or not (from my understanding k dot isn't necessarily on that shit either)

maybe im projecting &, not being a street dude myself, i can relate to being frustrated & envious that that earns one cred from heads

like i said if Drake was so envious and wanting props from 'heads' he wouldve switched his whole steez on NWTS

he did the opposite and went even further in his lane

Drake cares more about getting props and respect from legends than the dusty ass backpack brigade on the internet

and its funny legendary backpackers fuk with drake and his music

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.26804/title.talib-kweli-says-drake-is-the-most-important-rapper-of-2013

"Drake. Drake is killing them. Drake is making honest music. He's making hit records. He's got lyrics for the dudes and he's got subject matter that any human being can relate to, dude or female. He's just really killing the game. He's really turned himself into the rapper to check for, and the number one emcee, the top tier emcee."

Kweli also said that Drake has great potential, if he is consistent with his work.

"If he can maintain his relevance for another couple years, he'll be considered one of the greats up there with your Tupacs and Biggies and Jay Zs and even Kanye Wests. But Drake has doing a great job this year."

i find it amazing how much yal think yals opinion on rap is relevant

yal really r in yal own lil world with lil to no knowledge of what is really going on

where Oddisee's opinion on Drake has any bearing on my opinion of Drake bc Im a fan of Oddisee?

that's just weird


and thats far from the only thing O has ever said that i dont agree w/ or feel him on but thats absolutely irrelevant to my enjoyment of his actual MUSIC

i remember reading an O interview where he said Kanye is the artist he'd most like to work with ... i lolsmh'd and put on one of his records

your bizarre one dimensional thinking really isnt worth my time

there are not two "sides" to reconcile

my dislike of drake and my dislike of nihilistic subject matter in hip-hop are in no way, to any reasonable person, mutually exclusive

but maybe, just maybe, you arent that smart

your attempt to shame me into accepting Drake's greatness bc Oddisee is a fan is precious tho

but if you haven't noticed, im not the type of groupie ass follower that you pride yourself on being

gave him his own interlude on Take Care, and did a feature for him on GKMC. Drake sees it as he looked out when Kendrick was still coming up so why call me out on Control?

Jealousy is not the issue. They were cool until Control.

If anything he was saying those are the guys that are at the top of the game right now, and I'm out here trying to be better than them, so they better step their game up cause hip hop is a competition. He was giving props where it's due, but at the end of the day he's trying to be the best and distance himself from 2nd place as much as possible, cause that's what it's all about.

Except most of the other people GOT IT and said "Okay Kendrick, I see you, lets go" while Drake got butthurt.

If anything all the great rappers out right now who he ignored to mention on Control should be as unstable as Drake is over the whole thing.

But it's the same reason Kane beefed with Slick Rick. Rick said in a magazine he'd destroy Kane in a battle and Kane got mad. Kane felt like if they asked him that question he would say, Rick's my man it wouldn't get to that point. Drake probably felt like Kendrick was his man especially since he went outta his way to help him. I agree he needs to let it go but rappers are pretty damn sensitive.

Drake gave Kendrick a look, absolutely. But Drake is constantly making efforts to tap more into the "real hip-hop crowd." He shouts out Phonte in thank you speeches, he shouts out/samples Wu-Tang, he kept an affiliation with Kendrick. But he plays it as just "paying homage" as opposed to trying to make it seem like he's trying to tap into that fan base and attach himself with the appropriate acts. He wants that fan base badly because those are artists he looks up to, and also because he wants that respect *and* the mainstream success.

Similar to what Jay Z does whenever he collaborates with the current hottest artists, though perhaps not as desperate.

He seems to feel (probably rightly so) that Hip Hop is rooting for Kendrick to a certain degree to "dethrone" him. I also think Drake is not your typical, competitive, I wanna be the best MC type of dude. You can tell even the way he tries to downplay the Control verse by saying "well people can't even remember how the song starts". He's really a pop dude that because he raps to express himself gets lumped in with a bunch of dudes that he doesn't really have much in common with. I don't get the feeling that Drake is the kind of guy who has spent hours, days, months of his life arguing about how sick some old Canibus verse is or how underrated Monch is.

>like, Kendrick is getting love and sales for an album that
>ppl feel is genuine, rooted in a real street level experience,
>which, in hip-hop, means something

I think he's looking at it like damn I am a superstar, houshold name, major headlining artist and this dude that can barely get radio play in his own hometown and just now went platinum is being being compared to him . People can talk all they want about sales, money, girls, etc but in the end everyone still wants to be respected and I think Drake feels that he has been unfairly shitted on by Hip Hop.

If you listen to Kendrick...especially his early mixtapes, you can definitely hear a huge Canibus influence. He's studied Kurupt big time. You hear Pharcyde influences. On the mixtape he did with Jay Rock called "No Sleep Till NYC" he's spitting over Tribe, Gangstarr & Rakim. He definitely comes across as a student of lyricism and not just a fan of the biggest artist with the most platinum plaques.

27. "Drake Street Was Gone When He Was A Nickelodeon Teen Actor"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

When Drake finally became a rapper and blew up people started to realize he was that Nick-teen actor, he ain't got no street cred, his family is between middle-class & rich, plus he's related to Al Green, he ain't got no street cred, other than being a ghostwriter for a hood rapper and being down with him.

People thought Drake and his ilk had "destroyed the mold" until the real thing showed up. We will always prefer the original article.

in turn u shyt on him for not having that image and being himself.

Hes never lied about his upbringing or where he's from

Not saying he's a 'cure' to those things plaguing the Black community

just not understanding ur contradictions

unless u never really gave a fuk and ur diatribes were just an angle to shyt on black people and be racist

the content ive criticized in rap music is definitive of "the street"

Other than posting seriously.

yal Drake haters are responsible for like 95% of Drake related topics on this site

the fuk kinda logic is that

theres prolly only like 2 kendrick lamar topics in the lesson with over 20 replies (i dont care enough to search)

yal give an artist yal cant stand more attention than artist yal fuk with

the hell kinda backward ass shyt is that

like u literally only show up in GD for Drake topics

explain that

i'll wait

its 65 degrees and sunny out and im bout to get the challenger washed and go cruising when this load of laundry is finished

you want ur boy to blow up, to make all these snide comments about other rappers but u don't want him to have to face criticism himself

doesn't work like that

you get big, cats are gonna let their issues be known

the fact he's handling it like a passive agressive bitch just makes folks go harder, especially in a popular climate where dissent & criticism has been marginalized due to the almighty dollar

I wasn't even talking about your posts...I was talking about Drake posts in general. I'm in this one asking a fair question and I'm in the other one giving an honest answer.

>yal Drake haters are responsible for like 95% of Drake related

I can speak on anything I want personally. This is music discussion right? Oh, that's right...you don't want music discussion outside of you sucking Drake's dick through a computer screen.

>theres prolly only like 2 kendrick lamar topics in the lesson
>with over 20 replies (i dont care enough to search)
>

I didn't even say shit about Kendrick.

>yal give an artist yal cant stand more attention than artist

I actually have never once made a post about Drake. I post about people I like.

>the hell kinda backward ass shyt is that
>
>like u literally only show up in GD for Drake topics
>explain that
>
>i'll wait

Actually, I only go into GD for music related topics and very select other posts. But you wouldn't understand how much sense it makes for a Drake fan to be on the internet discussing GD topics as if they have no friends in real life. My honest opinion is, every fuck in GD has no life. I'm here solely for music and handle all other shit in real life with people I know.

>its 65 degrees and sunny out and im bout to get the challenger
>washed and go cruising when this load of laundry is finished

Sounds good to me. Maybe Drake can ride shotgun and give you a hand job or if your lucky, some road head.

>and i missed the question
>
>what were u asking me again?
>

Exactly. You don't want music discussion. You want to be a bitch about people not liking Drake.

Let me break this down for your slow ass.

I came into a Drake post and posted a question to someone else in order to have a discussion.

You proceeded to come into the same post and attempted to push me and Phil into the back and forth (which you claim you don't want) by ignoring the question and bitching about people not liking Drake (telling me you're not doing the back and forth bullshit.)

So fuck you and fuck your question until you want to have a discussion about what I originally came into the post for because I'm not in this post or the other Drake post saying anything negative about the love of your life.

You don't get to ask questions without answering those that were first asked.

Especially not when you're a young super-sensitive Drake fan.

Spend less time on the internet sucking Drake's dick and find a site you can purchase some balls.

Then go outside and find a female dumb enough to talk to you and attempt to have sex with her.

And if you need instruction you can always shoot me an inbox man.

Don't be scared though...it's not that serious.

I'll even let you sing Wu-Tang Forver to the girl after you close the deal.

his voice

his fukin sweaters

much like the ish yal say about drake

accept i will admit that he can rap

it just aint for me

therefore i just avoid anything mac miller related

hell this is prolly my 1st time even mentioning how i dont like dude on here

i dont click on post about him

i dont try n shyt on folks who do

I actually have never seen you have this musical discussion. Perhaps I came in too late when you claim you grew tired of it...but I don't see how that's possible when you claim I've been in Drake posts since the start. As a matter of fact, I never see who talk about any other MC. And damn sure not an MC that isn't mainstream successful. Who are some other MCs you like?

>but i dont even bother to do that anymore
>
>its pointless when folks r 5yrs in-bedded into an agenda
>

It's not an agenda at all. And don't you agree that what you do could be labeled as an agenda? It's not just myself and Phil. You are well known in GD as the "Drake stan". If the majority of people are saying the same thing it's hard for you to argue against it no? Every post about Drake you are in there talking about "you mad" or "they hating on Drake" on some low-intellect type of bullshit. And you do in fact push this agenda of back and firths by complaining about how people don't like Drake. I didn't even respond to you in this post and sure enough you came in here to get shit going. That is an agenda my man.

>i just dont get the time and devotion to sutten yal dont fuk

>whats the point of stating how much u think drake sucks over n
>over the past 5yrs?
>
>its perplexing
>

For starters, I don't come into his posts to talk about how I hate his music. My track record has been this; people post new music and I check it out and give my opinion of it. I keep checking out his music to see if there is something I'm missing or to see if I'll something new. But every time I check it, I don't like it and I state my opinion of it. Also, to this point, Drake has been that straw for me. Jay-Z started the bullshit in 98, Lil Wayne pushed it with The Carter 3 and then Drake just broke the camel's back (no pun intended for Jay but it does work). To me, he just embodies everything that I hate about the new generation. This new elementary rhyme style and sing songy type of nonsense that's extra sensitive. And by no means am I faulting him for not being "street" because I like many artists who don't claim to be street. However, their music at least has some bite to it. It has some edge. It is well-produced and pushes some boundaries. Everything Drake does comes off as processed and dishonest. I understand I listen to hip-hop through different ears because I rhyme myself so I have different sensibilities when it comes to this shit. I can see through Drake (and not just Drake) schtick and I just can't rock with it.

With that said, how is it that you get to fault people for expressing distaste for Drake's music on a music forum and label their participation in the post as "perplexing" yet your sole reason for being in the post is to complain about people not liking Drake? How is that ok?

That's cool. I don't like Mac either. But he can at least rhyme. Drake can't. That whole leave a half bar of blank space say ugh and then 3 more words is just completely wack to me. That shit is not what I like in an MC. People try to shit on me for liking AZ but you know what, when I hear AZ I know he sat down with the beat and said "I'm about to murder this shit". I NEVER get that from Drake. He has never killed shit.

As far as not clicking posts, I click a lot of posts. Sometimes I respond and sometimes I don't. Only reason I responded here is because I saw someone ding what you do, which is acting like people can't dislike Drake. Read my first post in here. All I said was "what if someone actually doesn't like him" which NO ONE responded to.

>its that simple
>
>i know hes not as big as drake so its easier to avoid on here
>

That is true as well. Turn on Hot whatever in your city and you will here Drake 5 times in an hour. That shit is annoying. I don't listen to the radio other than when I'm at work with the kids I work with so that's just an example but people like myself get tired of the complete lack of variety in hip-hop on the mainstream level. It doesn't matter so much to me because I listen to what I want and learn about whatever on the net but I still don't want the music I love represented just by Ye, Jay, Wayne, Drake and Nicki. Sure you have Kendrick and Macklemore and a few others, but those have been the main cats for years. There is so much in hip-hop to offer people that it shouldn't be reduced to just that.

And when you come on okayplayer, a site created by the Roots and started up by fans who had very similar values in their music, and see it overrun by people who have damn near opposite values in their music it does become frustrating. I feel like this place is like the Hot 97 forum and shit. What drew you to this site? I have never heard you say shit about the new Roots album. That's the shit that doesn't make sense to me. I've been here from the start, and it was like a barber shop full of people who like similar shit and then all of a sudden Puff Daddy and his commercialized crew showed up and told us we were mad because we didn't like their music. How does that shit make sense?

And that's not to say I'm opposed to change because I do like some mainstream shit, but I'm not changing how I evaluate quality hip-hop. To me, Drake shit is pure fluff. And I'm not the only person who feels that way.


>but with that said majority of the post on here r made by
>people who dont fuk with dude
>
>dont understand
>
>y?
>

>

And let me just add on that you didn't really answer the question. You just said "people can like what they like." That doesn't answer why you're in every damn Drake post telling people they're mad or damn near sucking his dick through the screen. And before you say that's an insult, stop and think for a second. Because there is no way what you do on here isn't sucking this dude's dick. I'm telling you that shit man to man. It's not a good look bro. You need to take some of the comments people tell you on here seriously. There's a reason you have that rep. And more times than not, it's other people telling you this shit, not me.

so much wrong

so lil energy to address it all




>I actually have never seen you have this musical discussion.

iv done it numerous times

iv posted songs along with lyrics plenty of times

don't do it anymore cause its been 5yrs of him putting out music

its obvious that folk r so entrenched that its pointless now

and yea uv been in the post iv done it shyttin on every song

and I talk about plenty of other artist

mainly in GD where folk r more sensible and don't take themselves and opinions on music too serious

the lesson has turned into a caricature of itself at times

too much gatekeeping and folk who over value their opinion on music

>It's not an agenda at all. And don't you agree that what you
>do could be labeled as an agenda? It's not just myself and
>Phil. You are well known in GD as the "Drake stan".

If I took myself serious on a fukin online forum u would have a point.

Most people in GD have figured out 90% of my Drake ish is tongue n cheek. and iv self admittedly use Drake for madmaking at times for my own entertainment.

sometimes its obvious

other times its nuanced

but it usually gets the same reaction out of folk cause they really do hate his guts

folk r really passionate about it

I mean im not even doing it in this post and iv been called all kinds of names

If the
>majority of people are saying the same thing it's hard for you
>to argue against it no?

I really could care less homie...






Every post about Drake you are in
>there talking about "you mad" or "they hating on Drake"

not really.

Most of the time I don't even have to point it out.

yal r really passionate when it comes to the topic

understood.

It ain't for everybody. Not knocking you for that even though I think its close minded. I'm somewhat of a stuck in the 90s nothing but heavy spitter shyt myself. And if it wasn't from making new friends from didn't walks of life prolly would still be closed minded too.

And by no means am I faulting him for not
>being "street" because I like many artists who don't claim to
>be street. However, their music at least has some bite to it.
> It has some edge. It is well-produced and pushes some

>dishonest.

yea going to have to disagree. For one I doubt u listen to everything drake does. abd even if u did u done already said u think he embodies everything u hate in rap so I seriously doubt the ish u do here of his ur listening with any kind of objectivity. ur listening for the ish that backs up ur views of him. And it's a natural thing to do. I do it too. I have a cousin who is a big Chance the Rapper fan and I think he's a 1 dimensional no substance outside of rappin bout drinking smoking weed and fukin bytches. So when he played his mixtape I was sittin in the car just waiting for every bar and hook that reinforced my opinion. Same thing going on here. Its obvious you don't listen to him cause ur saying some outdated ish about his rhyme pattern/style.

I also disagree on the part about his music being processed and dishonest. Yal kinda contradicting yaselves when yal say hes soft/sensitive etc and same the same about his music but at the same time say hes not being honest. its Pretty obvious dude is comfortable in his own skin and could care less about being street and is very comfortable about his background which comes out in his music.


I understand I listen to hip-hop through different
>ears because I rhyme myself so I have different sensibilities
>when it comes to this shit.

Don't kno what that has to do with anything. I use to rhyme too and there r other rappers who make music the total b opposite of Drake who think hes a dope ass rapper and makes good music.


I can see through Drake (and not
>just Drake) schtick and I just can't rock with it.

If u say so.

I just asked a simple question.

You answered.

I respect it even tho I still don't get it.

For me spending time addressing shyt u don't like over n over is draining

I fuks with AZ too. Pieces of a man is criminally slept on.

With that said..

I could post songs but like I said before it wouldn't do any good. u already got a strong stance on dude and his music and im not into trying to change anyones opinion of him.

I don't listen to the radio. And all the music that's readily available for anybody I don't see anything valid in that argument.

Its not hard at all to find music that fits ur taste

this ain't 98

ur favorite artist ain't being blocked by radio and payolla from giving new music to their fans

y would I care if AZ, Freeway, Redman, Styles P etc etc ain't getting spins?

With so much good music readily available what's getting play mainstream is irrelevant to me. Even if its shyt I like.



>Kendrick and Macklemore and a few others, but those have been
>the main cats for years. There is so much in hip-hop to offer

like I said its irrelevant this day n age.

lol why?

Sorry but I don't understand that thought process

why is it so important to you for others to share your viewpoint and musical taste?

and it goes back to my point on how yal give artist yal hate more attention than the ones yal do fuk with.

I wouldn't even say its being 'overrun'. It's just yal give certain shyt more attention

this is that gatekeeper bullshyt I hate about this forum.

>feel like this place is like the Hot 97 forum and shit. What
>drew you to this site? I have never heard you say shit about
>the new Roots album.

LOL

This is rich.

I haven't really fuked with the Roots post Phrenology. But what the fuk does that have to do with anything?

ur basically upset that the lesson is no longer ur backpack haven.

I mean I had similar views on music back in high school. I was a backpacker. wu rang head. spittin that science in ciphers during lunch etc etc

then I graduated

went to college and started hanging with folk and making friends with folk from different backgrounds and states and different musical taste and got exposed to a lot of ish I wouldve previously written off because I had no understanding of it.

seems like you never had that experience.or u did and it made u feel even more isolated and pushed u even more into a narrow view of music.


edit: and getting pussy on the regular/ hanging with females. How did I forget that lol. that opened up my eyes n ears to alot of music.




That's the shit that doesn't make sense

You obviously take this ish more serious than I ever could. The day I care about what a bunch of strangers think about me on a Internet forum will be the day I logoff.

thx for the 'man 2 man' tho I guess

And I don't care if you've only started two Drake posts fam. You are in every single one getting defensive. It's not cool. You can't get mad if people are taking shots at your favorite artist. There's not one post where an artist isn't getting shit talked about them on a small or large scale.

And I will admit I've been outspoken about how wack I think Drake is but haven't really gone into his posts recently and in this one I simply asked a question, to someone else mind you, and he jumped in and got defensive.

And then this cat says he doesn't want to go back and forth. Lol.

And then never addresses the question for musical discussion.

also people have the right to voice unflattering ideas about artists just as others have the right to voice hyperbole other nigger shit because they want to fuck
and nothing you said refutes my original statement, but I didn't expect it to because you lack any objectivity when it comes to your boo thing
oh and learn to use proper grammar when calling someone a 'fukin moron' (and definitely don't use 'are' in place of 'or')

60. "THE SAME REASON JAY ENVIED NAS "

Because those he surpassed him in mainstream success and love, a large portion of the demographic that he looks toward for respect (niggas like to call it "the streets") see KL as greater from a critical perspective. In many places its common knowledge to say Drake isn't a better emcee/doesn't have a product greater than GKMC.

This is jay/nas all over again
