    Rewatching I don't think I picked up on him kind of referencing Drake's trend mindset. Like a mall with a lot of stores for all of your needs or a store with a lot of products. He's the one stop shop. He's the Target. As opposed to Bey who might consider himself boutique

    Mos is underrated as an icon, he was actually such a star in that time period. I really respect what he did for hip hop

    😂😂 I don't know, usually an old head like mos would duck that kinda question, idk man, he wasn't trying too hard to duck the smoke, something else is up even tho his opinion is huge

    It's funny because Wayne sounds like a f***ing Griselda artist compared to where rap went right after lol

    lmao cmon bro

    don’t be obtuse

    How is that being obtuse when you theorizing how you think they go into the booth as if you know them?

    because it’s not baseless

    It’s off of observing their music careers, in Drakes case it’s been 10+

    there’s a lot we can say based off their achievements in that long of a time frame. I mean it doesn’t take rocket science

    if I want to speak correctly then I “assume” they don’t have the same intent

    I would ASSUME Keef & Drake don’t have the same intent in their careers especially these days based on how they’ve moved

    we've been saying "Yasiin Bey (Mos Def)" for over a decade now

    Love Mos Def’s music but i saw him perform in London and he was dry humping the big speakers on the side and just scrolling through his dj’s laptop deciding which songs to randomly half-ass perform

    Real hiphop

    It’s 2024 man, the whole “Drake isn’t a rapper” shtick is so old and tired at this point

    He sells a lot and drops a lot so, whenever he goes into the booth the #1 thing on his mind is how can I get the most radio play and get the biggest hits. Makes sense to me.

    Pop artist, not a hip hop artist.

    Kinda off this convo, but who else has gotten the “pop, not hip hop” treatment? Not implying that Drake the only one but I’m curious.

    Only one I can really think of is Post Malone but it applies there

    It’s a stupid argument. All mainstream artists want hits. That alone doesn’t make someone a pop artist

    Drake is a pop artist not simply because of his hit singles but because of how he approaches his career & music

    He moves like Taylor swift or any other pop artist moves

    He goes in the booth for a hit & constantly floods the market to put it simple

    "Constantly floods the market"

    Flirting

    Vs

    Harassment

    Both are hip hop artists with pop hits but when yall leave context out for things these arguments get redundant lol
