On most occasions you seem to be someone who supports Hip Hop as a culture/lifestyle etc but where Drake is concerned you just keep droning on (and on) about how he's gonna sell X amount of platinum.
I dont think anyones disputing that he's gonna blow up, but at the same time doing Speaperboxxx numbers doesnt necessarily equate to great rap music which is what 99% of people on here are interested in (however differently they might define it)
Drake selling alot isnt going to ruin my year - i havent even heard So Far Gone or Best I Ever Had.
So 'for the love of Hip Hop' (as you say above) just accept that its poor, generic, pop shit aimed squarely at the mainstream and thats why alot of people here dont like it. You faggot.
No one is going to be listening to this album in 3 or 4 years - its not Ready To Die, Doggystyle, or even Get Rich Or Die Trying.
there is a need for different kinds of rap. for the mainstream, money world rap that a certain percentage of MCs create, Drake is one of the best doing it right now.
when I want to hear it, I bump 'TML'. when I want to hear guillotine music, I listen to.
i'm good.
and i don't think you can predict THAT far into Drake's future. this album will do well. it's got songs on top of songs. DRAKE IS A SMART SONGWRITER. Damn near every one of those album tracks can be a video, and can get burn on the radio. I feel like I know what will work in this shit... and Drake is now fucking ELITE.
It was Maliah's phenomenal ass that made it so hard to resist for Drake. In reality, the video reinforces some negative stereotypes for Jamaicans... but it's a reality that is actually unfolding as we speak, since the U.S. Government is hunting down Dudus Coke, the leader of the Shower Posse, in Kingston, right fucking now. In the video, Drake obviously thought he could fuck the girl and bounce from the island, but he didn't, and got caught up, like he did in real life. "Maybe it was the two guns in my face from the stick up" is some real talk. Its the few little moments of vulnerability that make Drake stand out.Bring Back The Tempo wrote:Bender:
Much respect from a fellow Toronto-ite and Canadian and all but, seriously, you gotta understand why some of the older cats here don't like Drake. His singing his awful (he is nothing like Domino, btw), the dude has a nasally voice, and the rapping ...is nothing brilliant. There is nothing compelling about this guy. He's a 23 yearold dude that grew up in the richest parts of Toronto and has witty lines about fucking stupid hos and his haters. ZZZ? If I wanted to give respect to Toronto rappers, I'd say peace to 9th and Tyranny, Tona, Empire, them cats Arkeologists dudes put out, but Drake? I cannot cosign.
p.s.--
That "Finding your love" video is horrible (WTF would he try to get with a Rudeboy's girl?). And what the hell is with the singing?
and he should have repped Toronto better on the album, but we have the rest of time to do that. this is a good start.
I was at the Stylus Awards on Monday, and I saw Drake drive up in a Maserati. He rolled into the spot squad deep, and made a buzz. It was a fun event, and when he won his award for 'Best I Ever Had', he went up and made a great speech about how he represents Toronto everywhere he goes. Drake participates in the scene around here, and he's carving out a new spot in history. This hasn't happened yet, a Canadian rap superstar on the level of America's. Drake is trailblazing here, even if he's not changing the art of rhyme with his album (even though he has done serious rap work otherwise). I think he represents Canada well. I don't wave a fucking Canadian flag everywhere I go either, we don't have America's relentless patriotism. We still are making our history happen.
Sure, "Find Your Love" isn't that great, one of the worst songs on the album. But still, this guy has made the rest of the world look North. When the other singles drop... boo-yaa.
other Toronto MCs are going to get shine.
we are the new blood of hip hop.
mark my words. doubt them if you want, its your choice.
then watch and listen to what happens.
in love,

Drake fucking WON. I'm so happy that he succeeded. The door will now open up, and the world will look at the assorted treasure chest of jems that is Canadian music.
1. Drake "winning" is going to mean nothing for your career, or the careers of anyone else in Toronto or Canada that isn't already on tour or affiliated with Drake in some way.
2. I know this is M2C and we're all super-knowledgeable rap fans who read blogs and other gay stuff like that; but in the real world where the other 99.9% of people exist, nobody knows that Drake is Canadian. Every single person I know has heard of Drake at this point, and I can say absolutely that no one has any idea he's from Canada. Even the people who are really into his music (mildly retarded mid-20s trendslut females) don't know this. Maybe that's their ignorance, but maybe Drake isn't exactly heralding his nationality the way you think he is.

childson, you are achieving wonderful new levels of pathetitude with your wackness. I am not only a songmaker, but I am a published journalist, meaning I do something called "writing". I HAVE A LIFE. Thus, I document it with these things called "words". I do not fear typing these "words" that accurately parallel my life, as I have nothing to hide. I ain't a powerfully lame weakling like you, I make a good difference in my world. Communication isn't justification, boy boy.

I write information down. You make bullshit up.
And I'll start ignoring you now since you won't ignore me.
Go away.
and for the record, that "get off the internet and enroll in a Step Your Life Game Up program" was 100% aimed at you, Jaz. An idiot might think I was writing that towards keenone, which is fallacy. She's cool, and has a life with purpose.
You fail to exist.
peace to Drake.

that Osirus line is from 'Triumph', not CREAMMindbender Futurama wrote:I DO think Aubrey went a tad too far saying "I'm the Osirus of this shit right now"/
on "Show Me A Good Time", but rap blasphemy is par for the course in 2010, and at least Drake is schooling some of these know-not motherfuckers on Wu-Tang, even if they don't know that Drake is referring to the song C.R.E.A.M.
