did you just say Drake, Cudi, Tyga, Wiz and Mac Miller sound nothing alike, LOFL?

now you shut the fuck up, 'cause that's some bullshit. they all make songs for woman (some argue strictly for woman), for the clubs (AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT), over emotive-syth textures, with the random 16 on a street single, and are not above rapping or catering to the euro-trash dance shit all over radio. All are about image over substance and branding themselves as multi-faceted commodities, which can open up a conversation about race and the current state of capitalism i don't want to get into. They all try hard as shit to say witty punch lines as well (sometimes succeeding). DO they all have their own identities, kind of... but claiming they're their own entity is fucn laughable

Lupe is the sore Thumb in that list. And Yela and French don't roll in any of their lanes, well Yela tried to with his Shady release and fell flat on his face.

but whatever with this "I'm so above people hatin' on young niggas getting money" posturing. NO ONE, in particular with art, is above criticism, NO ONE
