Drake

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.

Ah man, can't believe you've said that. Especially when he was 'Common Sense', he was unreal. Drake would be closer to the current Common, despite not really being like him at all.

I can't see the video, but that lyric is from the comeback season mixtape

I'm guessing United has a big following in Toronto?

Maybe.

The video is of him at Carrington.

Here's another (You've probably seen it though)

 
No surprise Aaliyah had the biggest influence on his music, it explains why he sounds like a bitch.
 
:lol:

Harsh on Aaliyah

But anyway, Drake was a breath of fresh air for a while, until everyone started to put him on their album and single. His sound has saturated the market at the moment. And don't get me started on his similie gimmick (fecking all these broads, porno), it's run it's course. Can't take his mixtapes away from him, they were lean and hungry. "Thank Me Later" was just a few great tracks, with some filler.

Lyrically he's nice, listening to his songs I manage to give an 'oh damn, that was sick' every now and then. He seems to be unhindered by the new fame. Back in the day he used to do collabos with acts like Little Brother, Lupe, Clipse, amongst others. Another thing I like about him is the introspective nature of his lyrics, yeah he loves the fast life like we all do, but he acknowledges it's effects on things close to him. You don't get that from most of the artists in the mainstream. He's not a Jay Electronica, but he's not a Vanilla Ice, like Hectic would have you believe.

J Cole is much better as an artist, I still don't know how this guy hasn't blown up. I'd post some songs, but I'm at work.
 
Bought his album today after a glowing reccomendation from here, it has been very good so far. Love 'Over'.
 
'So Far Gone' has much more replay value in my opinion. The album is very good though, you can definitely notice the commercial appeal to it, when you compare it to So Far Gone.
 


"...and comfortable I sit
That manual Ferrari Italia, some fly shit
It's sittin' at the house like I bought it in '9-6
Cause honestly I'm too fecking busy to drive stick!"
 
Wait, people really like him? I thought boss was taking the piss with his drake love!
 
I have to be honest, I read an awful lot of your posts as piss takes. That made the most sense on this subject, too.

Take care I don't know man. I heard it was this Summer but Weezy is taking long to drop Carter 4.

He has to move out the way first.

but Drake just gave the people of what he's working with around last week with this song 'dreams money can buy', not on Take care but t's feeding us hungry fans.




'too fecking busy.....too busy fecking......'

it's dope but I'm not feeling the instrumental.
 
Boasting that you're the biggest Drake fanboy is like boasting you have aids.

Maybe not, but I still don't rate him......anymore.

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.

:lol: only just read page 1 of this thread
 
Drake turned around, his eyes now betraying the signs of pure panic, the dawning realization that he was trapped here, alone, hit home. His hands began to shake, he closed his eyes and tried to recite some hot verses, but nothing came out. Fear crept in, where was his hot shit? He started to breathe heavy, frantically searching his memory for one bar, just one single bar, eventually even for just one coherent sentence, but there was nothing. Drake began to cry, his lop-sided eyes splashed tears in all directions, he turned around and hammered his soft fists on the door, screaming for help, but no-one would come. As the days would pass, a member of his entourage would have finally checked in on the missing artist. But Drake had already died of starvation. An autopsy would later reveal he had died due to a lack of common sense, as the door was never locked, and just needed someone to turn the handle.

bold reminded me of the masta ace lyrics:

last night I had a nightmare that I was wack
Nope, I'm sorry, it's that you said something dope
feck it, it don't matter, 'cause I know shit ain't really like that
'Cause if you said something dope, I know somebody else probably had to write that

He's a dope artist. Some of his rhymes are just genius. A breath of fresh air, really.

At first, I thought so too. It was better that way, seemed to be a slight bit entertaining. Now it's just annoying.
