^^^the rza/jimi hendrix comparisons were talking about andre 3000, not drake.
edit:
oh ok i see waht u saying -he called him "three stacks"
i stand by my last post minus those parts lol
3 Stacks is how Andre 3000 is most commonly referred to, at the moment.
Drake is a flash in the pan. A fad. Brian Austin Green makes better music.
Fake southern accent? Dude been hanging out in NAWLEANS and the SOUTH since he 21 the last two years. Slang grows on people whether you like it or not. Whack MC - ok lets think about this one. Why does everybody and they dog want him to do there hook?
No substance? He is the shit atm and nah your not homo if you like Drake...bottom line is some dudes just get insecure and hate on dudes like this or Justine Timberlake.
Now compare this dude to Justine Timberlake - same class. You cant compare Drake to Hip-hop artists. You cant have a Drake sing or rap about political important matters. I even wondered if this cat might be another one of those industry "sold his soul to the devil" artists. Nah his skills got people noticing him - good and bad end of story. When I think about all this shit I see going on I wonder if Rae is being sincere or clowing Drake and is going to Drape him like he did Mase...
He doing something right...I think dudes hate on him because they insecure...
i sound uneducated? do u kno what im talking about? do u understand the connection? do u know what i was refering to? u sound even stupider now....extremely fuckin stupid
first off, i fuckin hate drake..so this pretty much fucks ur shit up, secondly i was refering to this whole..didnt grow up in the hood thing...now i wanna see ur response to see how "educated" u are in the field of hip hop
Look man, this is coming from someone with a huge interest in not just the Wu-Tang Clan and hip-hop but all music. My favorite records are by Coltrane, Miles, Can, This Heat, a lot of experimental shit from the late 60s and early 70s. Just to give you some background...if you have any interest my favorite hip hop record if I had to choose one is Wu-Tang Forever.
Drake's RECORD IS NOT GOOD. That's the point here. It is a turgid, boring and uninspired album. The production is fairly wack throughout. Timberlake's second record was also pretty boring mostly but had 3 or 4 amazing productions to save it. I happen to like Justin Timberlake as a singles artist--not so with Drake (although his single from Thank Me Later "Over" is about 200% better than the rest of the album which btw says almost nothing)
Your Canadian dick riding of Drake does nothing to change the fact that his music is literally BORING and made for 14 year old girls and pseudo-heads who want to appear open minded, like yourself. Big Boi's new album, for example, is an exciting record that will endure with the rest of OutKast's collective work. Thank Me Later, on the other hand, is a boring record that will not stand the test of time.
The difference here is in the quality of the work as it is presented to us. Let's not forget that. Someone else already said it best:
"his music has no substance. he has no artistic integrity. and thats how i judge a persons music."
also, i don't even dislike Drake as a person. it ain't about that. he seemed like a humble dude on that MTV thing i watched. i gave him a chance, i've listened to everything he's put out (granted, not much more than once). that doesn't mean he's a good artist. you seem to have too many personal feelings and associations with him to judge his music objectively.
ok first of all....i dont want to e beef lol
no disrespect..but what point were you trying to make with beastie boys and ice cube?
There are certain things about hip hop..that make it very different from other forms of music
#1 its not only music..its a life style
#2 there are certain rules involved..no biting..dudes cant come feminine..lyrics need substance, etc (more than i feel like listing right now)
#3 if the music or image that a certain artist has doesnt meet criteria..it aint hip hop it should be titled and promoted as "pop" not be in your face everytime u go to a HIP HOP website. Hes takin up space cuz he aint takin care of business..put some real creative new mcs on...ones that can spit freestyles from the dome..better than these dudes who write on their blackberry
THIS IS THE MESSAGE I WAS TRYING TO GET ACROSS WITH MY POST
shout out to RAE for being politically correct
the problem is u quoted my post with kno knowledge of why i posted what i did...the beastie boys didnt grow up in "the hood" and neither did cube...this is my point
i dont want e beef either
K well the reason for misunderstanding is simple then....u never said anything about why u mentioned cube and beastie..u only asked if they were hip hop..didn't know whut u meant..cuz I wasn't talking about being from the streets..I was more like talking about the image your portray and the the things you talk about in your music..drake makes good pop music..he should be called a pop artist..not a hip hop mc..this is what I'm saying
drake isnt pop my nigga, why do u keep saying this? lady gaga is pop...
