    If that song is playing in a store it’s Urban Outfitters where a 23 yo is controlling the music

    Most stores I go to just have an employee controlling the music

    This was in a sneaker store

    There’s a difference between saying something isn’t real hip hop and saying its pop.

    Drake is too unique for real

    I feel like it’s kind of wrong to fully box him out of hip hop lol like he’s done some good spitting. And his run is obviously the greatest

    But if you really love hip hop then you should be able to see where Mos is coming from. It’s not an indictment on drake, he just played the pop game more than most. On one hand you’re going to get the success but the purist is never going to hold him high like that until Mos generation is gone. Just is what it is

    this isn’t about the music man lol

    this isn’t about the music man lol

    I think it’s a combo of things. Partly the music, partly the content, partly the fame, partly the Canada/degrassi stigma

    The closest I can think of Wayne ever being “pop” was around tc4 era with Mirror and How to love. But even then that same album had 6 ft 7 ft and John so idk

    Target & big stores like that use corporate-friendly radio stations where Fire & Desires would never come on.

    The corporate station when I worked at Applebee’s would play HOWGH & replace Drake’s voice with some white dude lmao

    That’s some obscure s*** if you have to find it an archive though lol idk I really don’t think it was as big of a convo as it is around drake. Because musically his s*** was clearly hip hop. With Ye it was more of the “is he an MC or not” thing rather than “hip hop or not”

    I brought the archive up because those were sentiments from a local level.

    Can't tell me nothing was made from the sentiment that he wasn't really hip hop and didn't have a street single.

    Obviously the convo is bigger with drake, but the same idea still persist in that they were viewed as Pop because their image of being outsiders

    And drake is probably all over those too. Idk I’ve heard fire and desire on radio but maybe it’s bigger where I’m from
