I thought I'd care more about him saying that.
Jan 14th 2024
2
The reason being "he's right" lol
Jan 15th 2024
15
He said nothing wrong. Drake's fans are already offended tho.
Jan 14th 2024
3
Agreed on all.
Jan 15th 2024
16
So now Hip Hop artists can't do House Music???? y'all weird.
Jan 18th 2024
133
Yeah that's about right/on brand
Jan 14th 2024
4
“Compatible with shopping” is both funny and accurate
Jan 14th 2024
5
I've played it over so many times just to hear that part
Jan 14th 2024
6
Lmao, I played it at least 10 times in a row earlier
Jan 14th 2024
7
100%
Jan 15th 2024
17
what do they want Drake to do that he isnt doing?
Jan 14th 2024
8
rap about geopolitics and social issues so they can say it sucks when he...
Jan 14th 2024
9
…..nothing? He’s good doing what he does
Jan 14th 2024
10
That's an odd question on a couple of levels in light of the clip.
Jan 15th 2024
12
whoever is on top commercially
Jan 15th 2024
13
      Not necessarily
Jan 15th 2024
14
           Black Thought would never be a commercial success
Jan 15th 2024
19
                Exactly. It's not his aim. That's a big part of my point.
Jan 15th 2024
20
                     word.. I added a bit more, peep and let me know what you think
Jan 15th 2024
21
                          We definitely agree
Jan 15th 2024
22
                               I think this is probably close to the truth.
Jan 16th 2024
31
                               I say it because he's performed "Hotline Bling" on stage before
Jan 19th 2024
154
                                    Ha no shit. That's cool.
Jan 19th 2024
156
                               what people don’t understand is pop music is hard to make
Jan 18th 2024
111
Who said they wanted him to do anything different ?
Jan 15th 2024
18
they do by complaining abt Drake every chance they get.
Jan 16th 2024
28
      You spelled "nobody" wrong.
Jan 16th 2024
30
I thought one of our cultures problems was not accepting criticism?
Jan 16th 2024
35
      it is. your question is confusing.
Jan 16th 2024
39
no lies told
Jan 15th 2024
11
It’s just so perfect lmao
Jan 15th 2024
23

I wouldn't say it's all pop, but it's been the biggest selling genre for
Jan 16th 2024
40
I hear shit like Ante Up/Fight the Power/Straight out of Compton
Jan 16th 2024
52
you hear a lot of older hip hop songs in commercials
Jan 17th 2024
72
      Teenagers are making TikTok memes & dances to older hip hop songs
Jan 18th 2024
126
Just say you didn’t understand that statement
Jan 16th 2024
60
      just because rap is popular now doesn’t make it all pop
Jan 17th 2024
71
           LOLthanks for making my argument.
Jan 17th 2024
76
I wouldn't say ALL hip hop is pop, but the genre, overall, is definitely...
Jan 18th 2024
127
Great answer.
Jan 15th 2024
26
Umi Says was playing in the Nike outlet last time I was there
Jan 16th 2024

Jan 17th 2024
89
                hell nah, just his most popular rap song
Jan 17th 2024
100
                Pop for hip hop... yeah. Always seemed like the "girl" track on the albu...
Jan 18th 2024
112
And that was a dope ass commercial back in the Day!
Jan 16th 2024
53
that’s basically what I meant by Mos Def being pop.
Jan 16th 2024
55
      so he’s famous.. non a pop star
Jan 17th 2024
68
      ehh...
Jan 17th 2024
74
      Lol no its not. Thats just a good song. “Oh No” is.
Jan 17th 2024
75
And it's a great example of a sincere, heartfelt song that happened
Jan 16th 2024
56
      nah that’s bullshit.
Jan 16th 2024
57
           Nuh uhhh (sticks out tongue)
Jan 16th 2024
58
           lmao.. nah, your definition of pop is bullshit
Jan 17th 2024
69
                Only someone with enough fame and popularity can do it without a need
Jan 17th 2024
73
                     no one is going to call Freddie Gibbs or MF Doom pop music
Jan 17th 2024
77
I am a drake fan and the statement is accurate. Yasin's critique is even
Jan 16th 2024
37
Drake responds (probably not his last one too, lol)
Jan 16th 2024
38
Black on Both Sides and Blackstar.. those albums scream pop to me
Jan 16th 2024
44

48

Jan 17th 2024
63
Some of those Nas and HitBoy albums be overrated
Jan 17th 2024
KD3, Magic, and Magic 3
Jan 17th 2024
66
Some of those Nas and HitBoy albums be overrated
Jan 17th 2024

Ok Mumbles.
Jan 16th 2024
59
Atleast Drake pays alimony LMAO
Jan 17th 2024
64
unpopular opinion but his opinion is meaningless because he's too old
Jan 17th 2024
78
^^This is the closed minded mentality that hurts the genre
Jan 17th 2024
79
That mentality actually hurts us as a PEOPLE.
Jan 17th 2024
93
His opinion matters, it just has to be taking with a grain of salt
Jan 17th 2024
81
I think we have to stop acting like you can’t be older and rap
Jan 17th 2024
85
i wouldnt say meaningless but its insignificant in the grand scheme
Jan 17th 2024
92
He doesn't have to be young to know what Pop music is.
Jan 17th 2024
94
for a certain fan segement Drake is old and 'irrlevant'. He's 37.
Jan 17th 2024

This Comment Ignores Recent Sold Out Concert Trends
Jan 17th 2024
101
fans are too busy creating content to go to concerts
Jan 17th 2024
104
well thats silly
Jan 17th 2024
106
^^^ dumbest reply in here
Jan 18th 2024
140
bottom line, no-one has articulated exactly how Drake is hurting Hip Hop...
Jan 17th 2024
83
Yasiin didn't say Drake was hurting hip-hop.
Jan 18th 2024
113
      So why the extra effort to try and exclude him?
Jan 18th 2024
114
           Extra effort ? He answered a question.
Jan 18th 2024
115
                nah. you and I both know it wasn't that.
Jan 18th 2024
120
                     Clearly we both don't.
Jan 18th 2024
121
                          Any answer besides "Yes, Drake is hip hop" is the wrong answer....
Jan 18th 2024
122
                               And yet, he never once said Drake was "hurting hip hop."
Jan 18th 2024
123
                                    lol...what are you even arguing??? you bad as Mos Mumbles...smh.
Jan 18th 2024
132
                                         Your entire argument hinges on things he never said.
Jan 18th 2024
138
                                              LOL dude is having a moment
Jan 18th 2024
141
                                                   lmao.. I can’t front, I get mad when people call JCole boring
Jan 19th 2024
148
                                                   I'm not even a Drake fan like that...but the Yasin Bey worship is kinda ...
Jan 19th 2024

Have we ever discussed why does Yasiin talk like that?
Jan 17th 2024
84
My nephew from Myrtle Ave sounds just like him
Jan 17th 2024

The first time I heard Ice Cube give an interview
Jan 18th 2024
108
Mos is an actor
Jan 18th 2024
124
I used to think it was part of the public persona
Jan 18th 2024
118
Did anyone determine why it was Target in Houston, specifically?
Jan 17th 2024
91
I imagine Target in Houston is on like Hartsfield Jackson airport levels
Jan 18th 2024
117
Maybe the tik tok target shopping guy is in houston
Jan 18th 2024
128
I wondered why he said “Houston” too
Jan 18th 2024
144
since it's one of the cities Drake loves (and SEEMS to love him back?)
Jan 18th 2024
145
Anyone remember when Fat Joe said Mos Def aint hip hop?
Jan 17th 2024
107
what? I understand not feeling him
Jan 18th 2024
110
I was curious so I looked it up
Jan 18th 2024
116
      Thank you for clarifying!
Jan 18th 2024
129
           It *is* strange.
Jan 18th 2024
130
                I wanna say that was El-P.
Jan 18th 2024
143
                     That sounds right.
Jan 19th 2024
157
I wonder what the blast master KRS One would say
Jan 18th 2024
109
i thought Hiphop consisted of 5 elements and that MCing was one
Jan 18th 2024
119
most people want him to be 100% MC
Jan 18th 2024
125

Jan 18th 2024
131
      After that it's gonna be The Jungle Brothers ain't hip hop....
Jan 18th 2024
134

           That time period for me was when I realized folks were generally on some...
Jan 19th 2024
151
                I disagree with this.. lol. Sure, you want to get rich
Jan 19th 2024
155
When you see him looking for lyrics on a Blackberry, I see why
Jan 18th 2024
142
It was also about not crossing over / selling out, but that ship dun sai...
Jan 19th 2024
146
BTW, Yasiin never said Drake is Not hip-hop.
Jan 19th 2024
149
I can concede that...but Yasin was being slick...that was weak IMO...
Jan 19th 2024
152
      It Wasn't Important Enough to Say With His Chest
Jan 19th 2024
153
           they baited him with that question.
Jan 19th 2024
158
                Most definitely
Jan 19th 2024
