clearly the young man won at life. RA definitely has taken a real liking to him i hope he takes him under his wing and he goes far homeboy is TALENTED, all capital letters
He has a really deep voice and a big flow, but it doesn't match his look. He's a big boy and all, but still.. Perhaps he would have been better off not revealing his face at first.
Anyways, I hear a lot of Quannum/Solesides (Gift of Gab, Lyrics Born, etc) influence in his style. I'll be listening for more..

Either that or he just naturally sounds a lot like him. I ain't mad at that, because I love Gift of Gab. Hearing this dude just makes me want to throw on some Blackalicious or Gift of Gab solo stuff tho.

People love and hate Drake, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Nas, etc because they have BODIES of work that can be judged. And in Drake's case, he was born and raised in the social media era, and so we have more access to many things about him TO love/hate (a good bit of Drake's love/hate has nothing to do with music).
You have ZERO reason to dislike this AFRO kid.
None.
He can rhyme. Judge him on the material that you've heard.
If its not your think, cool.
But there is NOTHING to *dislike*.

Are you saying there is enough here to like him but not dislike him?
Is it really not possible for me to NOT like this kid?
Are you making a distinction between dislike and "not like"?
Do YOU think what you are saying makes sense? Do you make sense to that loud ass barking dog?
I don't need a body of work to see this style an type of rap isn't my thing.
BTW, that's all I ever said. I never said I dislike him. Frankly though, there is enough material here for someone to judge whether they like or dislike this dude, clearly some people do. I ain't mad at them, different strokes.
More over all of that is irrelevant because none of what you said has anything to do with my simple observation that I have very different taste from people who love this but hate Drake (that you think what you said is responsive to that is signs of your incoherency).
Sooo Pipe down. You should have more in your life that gets you riled up than this.
I see that this is going nowhere so feel free to respond, but I am done.

He has tons of talent and I hope he makes the best use of it. The feeling in the music is definitely there, and he's skillful to go along with it? Yes indeed.

He has so many great things happening. Met a handful of his idols like GZA and others... and he's also going to have a part in that new hip hop show that Preemo either produced or did the music for? Sorry, I don't remember the details. But he's movin up!
