Agreed

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.

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? >like i really dont fuk with mac miller > >hate his songs > >his image > >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 > >u wont find me in a mac miller post > >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 > >etc etc >
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? > >any answers yet? >
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.
