Drake might be the most perfect example of a hiphop pop star tbh

This is insane

There are certain rap niggas that are either respected or feared by many mainstream industry rappers because of how dangerous they are on the mic. I can name 5 guys who will destroy any rapper living or dead

Drake is hip hop

Mos Def is better than Drake

deport the stans

Drake was remixing Lykke Li, Santigold and Peter Bjorjn and John songs on his big debut project.

One of the biggest songs on his debut album was Find Your Love and every year since then he’s been having at least 2-3 pop songs to an album.

Drake even said it on Calabasas “Mike never tried to sing like Pac. Pac never tried to sing like Mike.”

He clearly wants to exist in both lanes he even acknowledges competing with Taylor Swift on SH3 lol

Mos Def can go f*** himself, screw that c*** tbh

Also this, I feel like niggas have been saying rap is the new pop for almost a decade

Is it wickedneeeees
Is it weeeeakneees
Youuuu deciiiiiide
Are we gonna liiive, or diiiiiie

It is not that it isn’t expected and a part of the game, but in terms of this conversation, “Wick Man” may be one of Drake’s most insightful records in a long time and he hid that on a deluxe of his latest album. Outside of that record, what is the audience leaving a Drake record with?

Mind you, I’m a big fan and have been rocking in the Drake sxn since early KTT1. I can also acknowledge that there is a very clear decision being made to not make his lyrics contain lasting material that isn’t made in collaboration to push products.

This too lol

Hating ass has-been, Drake shouted him out on FAT D too.

Ungrateful bald-headed loser. Fake passport using bum.

That Art of Dialogue channel does nothing but fuel this kind of stuff.

Someone mentioned it before I forgot who but the big 3 represent a trifecta of Hip Hop rn

Drake: Pop
J.Cole: Hip Pop
Kendrick: Hip Hop

It was weird but I do think there is truth to it

I agree lmao, but even a blind squirrel stumbles across a bit every now and again

I got to say as much as I love that Drake is consistently dropping it would be interesting to see the landscape if he took an extended hiatus to see what sort of direction the genre went and the reception upon his return

Man what? Hip pop?

F*** that, Drakes make better hiphop music than those two other guys.

The areas overlap, always have. People are just so category focused when it comes to music.

Asked a straightforward question. You acting like I brought up sales or something.

You also didn’t answer it.

Also you bring up his “biggest” songs is literally bringing up numbers and stats…..

Avi to post racially charged

F*** off haha

Yeah it was weird. I think it was a writer on Hip Hop DX that brought that up but it's still debatable imo

😂
