So?

No you didn't...and if you were a little more intelligent, you wouldn't be focusing on Stevie Wonder and would understand he is an example of good music. I could've named any one there but he popped into my head.

>No lol. I don't understand your point. Do you really think

Of course you don't understand...you're still stuck on Stevie Wonder who actually has nothing to do with this. And yea, KRS could be said that he is to hip-hop what Stevie was to Motown. KRS is a legend whether you like him or not and he has made timeless music.

See this is where you young dudes get loud and wrong. I actually am far from a "backpacker" even though I know it must've made you feel good to use that term. Speaking of term, I don't like Termanology either. Although I will say he has suprised me at times with his wordplay and delivery which is a lot more than I can say about your hero. You actually were never like me because you are like 16 years old and really don't have a clue about anything we're discussing. If you paid attention, I don't like any specific type of hip-hop. I like quality music that isn't forced or gimmick driven. I appreciate you telling me how to shed my shell too. Since you know, I probably have listened to a wider variety of everything than most people.

>Have you really listened to any screw tapes? Try Blue Over

Haven't heard that one...but as a whole, I'm not a fan of the screw tapes from what I've heard.

>You probably don't like much southern Hip-Hop outside of

Outkast
Goodie Mob
UGK
Scarface
TI
some Luda joints
Big Krit is dope
Freddie Gibbs is nice
Curren$y
Carter 2 was dope
Cunninlynguists are real dope
there are others as well

sure...I like a lot of Southern music. I actually was looking at it the other day and I like a lot more hip-hop from the South than from the West.

>You're DJ Screw comment really shows your true colors imo. One

LOL @ my true colors. as if liking Screw certifies you as a true hip-hop fan or something. if you like Drake "sonically" then you like wack shit.

>I think you're a certified backpacker.
>

That's good. I'm glad you think that. Makes me happy. I'll send you a card.

>It's also hilarious to me that people always mention the
>"don't make me catch a body" line. It's one line in one song.

It's one line...and like you're focusing on Stevie above, you seem not understand the concept of an example. because there are plenty other lines I can quote...I am just lazy and went for the easy one. But you can't fault me for that because I'm talking to someone who is resorting to terms like "backpacker" siting artists like Termanology and claiming I must only like Outkast from the South. It's also hilarious when people mention those smart guy.

He actually is both and that is what is see-through about him. he has no real identity. he is trying to be all of those things and it ALL comes off fake. since you know, you didn't understand what I meant when I said "see-through." and my point is that if you think Drake is an honest artist then I simply have to laugh at you because you can't see-through the fake shit he is doing.

>At least not liking him b/c he's too emo, is understandable.
>Calling him a fake thug is just lying to yourself, and

Maybe it's just me, but I tend to buy MOP's tough talk and "representation" of being a product of their environment more than Drake.

Simmer down youngin'

>I'm pretty sure that 90% of the shit you've heard I've heard

Maybe...maybe not. But if you understood hip-hop at it's foundation then you wouldn't respect gimmicky artists like Drake and Rick Ross.

I didn't say age had something to do with it and also said when it "clicks it clicks".

And what I am telling you is that it will "click" with you when you realize Drake is not good by any means.
