Drake killing it.

[wazup]

I like Drake. When most people make it the cool thing to do is say they are talentess, makes people feel better i guess. I read where he has the most amount of songs ever at the same time by one artist in the top 100 and set a bunch of other records also.

I get it you don't like his music but calling him talentless is ludicris. He seems to keep his nose fairly clean also. On the flip side Eminem seems to have lost it seems to struggle with confidence and I read an article where his stage presence nowadays is non existent.

Drake is far from talentless, he reinvigorated hip hop with Caribbean and African melodies and his lyrics are very clever.

He took what Wyclef Jean started and took it to a whole new level.

 

[malata]

Drake be killing it since he gave his notice to Shoppers D.M. He started from the bottom and never forgot from where he came

 

[Insidious Von]

Exactly.

I didn't even know stoner calypso music existed before Shopper's Drug Mart. One question: who the fuck is she!

 

[Smallcock]

Although I really enjoy only a handful of his songs, I'm a big supporter of Drake. He has been nothing but a great worldwide ambassador for Toronto and Canada.

Ghostwriters notwithstanding, he's a great lyricist. I just don't care for most of the music and his monotone voice.

At the end of the day, he's just a fun thoughtful nerdy kid from Toronto that hit it big.

 

[Insidious Von]

Drake has pedigree.

Dennis Graham, his father, on drums.

 

[HEYHEY]

Drakes "music" is proof that the collective IQ of the average person is at an all time low.

You cant put IQ level because in 50 years of music (and obviously longer) than some people prefer Drake, the Weeknd over The Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix , Charles Aznavour etc.
Its just different time difference and culture

your just overall a negative person lmao. Everyone knows drake is talented - not only that but he is smart too. Otherwise he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today.

Exactly malika. Well said.

 

[richaceg]

Drake is better than those those guys Quavo and company.

 

[malata]

Exactly.

One question: who the fuck is she!

i'll let you have the honor of saying her name

 

[Insidious Von]

Ok melata googled her, her name is Angelica Charrupi.

 

[Indiana]

Shootings and murders at his shows and clubs.
Thinking blackface is okay.
Unmarried “baby daddy”.
Illegal drug use age.
Steals music from other artists.

Ya, I guess that makes you a star nowadays.

Drakes "music" is proof that the collective IQ of the average person is at an all time low.

What’s “collective IQ of the average person?” Doesn’t collective IQ/intelligence refer to group intelligence? Did you maybe mean “collective average IQ is at an all-time low?”

Also, it’s “Drake’s” if it’s possessive - but, point taken.

I guess if you need all of your music to inspire intellect, it’s not hard to see why you’d think that way. But my grandparents thought Bob Dylan and The Beatles and Stones was just stupid noise played poorly. I have cousins that think Post Bop and Cool jazz sounds just as uninspired and stupid.

If you’re looking for a fresh beat to get weird with sexy ladies to on dance floors, to me Drake checks the boxes.

A couple years ago, he made my life sexier on 6 continents with “One Dance.” There’s nothing like being a bar or club and hearing a song from your hometown when you’re homesick. Or hearing the whole club sing every lyric, even though few if any actually speak the language.

 

[thailover]

Still waiting for him to come clean about the shooting a few years at the OVO fest after party at “the ex” which had fatalities and help his fellow Afro Canadian males in certain economically depressed neighbourhoods.
In reality,he’s a bit of so called “jock sniffer”

 

[james t kirk]

And The Bay City Rollers were huge in their day too. Sold 150 million albums when sales meant walking into a record store.

Drake is just the latest and greatest.

 

[james t kirk]

Call me when Drake can keep up with this.

. On the flip side Eminem seems to have lost it seems to struggle with confidence and I read an article where his stage presence nowadays is non existent.

Eminem is 45 years old. There's a shelf life to every hip-hop artist. It's just the way that music is. It's not like rock or other genres when the artist can be 70 years old but people still rock out to them.

Brilliant Zeppelin track and the only song on that album that they didn't plagiarise !

[curr3n_c1000]

I'm hardcore hip-hop, so Drake's music is a too gay for me. But it's cool he carved out a unique market for himself.

I guess since I know he's artificial, that's what kills it for me.
