Just how good is this guy?

Hip/Hop and the sort is usually my bag, but this chap seems to have slipped the radar.

Who is he like? How good is he? And is all the hype I keep hearing justified?
 
Hyped to death, he isn't my cup of tea at all but that is my personal opinion some people love him.
 
Drake is fecking awesome.

Over, Show Me a Good Time, 9AM in Dallas, Do It All, Im Ready For You, You Know You Know, Thank Me Now, The Resistance.. all awesome tracks, give them a listen.
 
My favourite artist in the entire world

mate where do I start, ok, you have to get his free mixtape so far gone, and then his official album thank me later. If you like these two get his earlier two free mixtapes comeback season and room for improvement

he's a mix between straight spitting and rnb, his two fellow torronto producers 40 ans Bo1nda are mainly behind the addictive beats

his style is very truthful and introspective, the first thing you hear when you play thank me later is

'money just changed everything, I wonder how life without it will go
from the concrete who knw that a flower will grow?
Lookin’ down from the top and its crowded below
My fifteen minutes started an hour ago
Truth over fame, you know I respect the blatant shit
When I hear dem talkin, I just dont know what to make of it
Hate is so familiar to me, I’m slowly embracing it
Doesn’t come natural, bear with me it could take a bit' for example

get so far gone first because it will show you what he's all about, I'll post the best track off it



he's got so many great songs we'll be here all night literally

Right, I will give that a listen and report back!

A few different sets of mates have been to see him the past two nights and made me wonder!

Really?

I knoww wayyy too many people here right now that I didn't know last year, who the feck are ya'll
 
I know a lot of people who've been to his concerts recently. He definitely lived up to expectations for them.

I'm with Boss though. Drake is on a hype ting right now. When you compare him to some of the shitty artists around, he deserves his recognition for actually being good.
 
Started off brilliantly, now he's no better than any generic hip hop artist on the scene right now.

The hype isn't deserved.
 
Base God >>> Drake

That right there is some ol' bullshit, catching him slipping like that:lol:

by the way Clk you ever heard that rick ross track called Billionaire?

I was listening to it today and the intro had me rolling, ultimate pause moment
 
I think his problem is that he wants to be all over everything. Definitely a case of market saturation. Sick of seeing him at this point. Plus that gimmick of his is so easy to work with.

Flow so sick i cant even walk.....wheelchair
me n my sisters son dont talk....nephew
hittin the streets with a gallardo....lambo

if i put any effort forth i could come up with the shit that he does. but it is catchy, and when hes not messing about his flow is good. But at the moment I not loving the Drake situation
 
He's fecking awful. Then again I do my very best to cut myself off from all music apart from my own, or when I'm out somewhere, so fortunately I don't hear much of him.

Basically, how can I put this, Drake to Hip-Hop is like this...He is like a guy sitting in a wheelchair rolling around saying he is handicapped, but when he gets home he practices slam dunks.
 
I am into hip-hop, rap and the like but this guy really pisses me off. His voice grates and grates until I develop murderous tendencies.
 
Yes. I reckon he goes to raves too, probably involved in some youth gang.

I think he secretly hates the police and wants out. Drake is just another excuse to help him escape his forced life.
 
He sounds a lot like Common Sense or whatever he's called thesedays - that's if he's still alive and still sounds like he did a couple of decades ago.
 
Hate him now, he's in Birmingham at the moment and thus he is plastered all over my FB home page. Its basically like being bombarded with 30 statuses written by Boss at a time when ever I go on it.

Love you still B.

Pretty sure this is a Kanye beat
 
Went to see him a few days ago. Loved it, especially the sexy ladies/groupies :D

His performance was brilliant, but preferred J.Coles 15-20 minutes, as he got the crowd REALLY hyped up when he came on, more so than Drake! and I was surprised that a lot of the crowd knew his lyrics.

The live band sounded good, but doesn't sound the exact same as the song being performed (Digital), so it takes a little shine off vibe. I'd have prefered the instrumental to be blasted out the speakers instead, as it was with J.Coles performance.

Good night though, well worth the money.
 
Flicking through a few Lil Wayne mixtapes and came across this featuring Drake



I like it
