Do people really like Drake?

[Matty]

its the cretinous voice that kills it...

But that's all subjective. For instance I can hardly tolerate Quik's extra nasal voice, or Suga Free's or E40's. Don't forget that Drake is like 22 years old, so he's still a kid in some way and his voice tone can change in the future.

its entirely subjective and entirely non-political. there are other factors why i don't like drake at all but that's the main one. i aint saying drake killed hip-hop or nothing, each to their own. he probably is a solid songwriter for valid reasons from a lot of people's perspectives...

Lol. I barely like any of the MC's you just listed. DJ Quik is alright, over the right beats. Lol. Suga Free - goddamn I hate his flow, and E-40 is alright, over the right beats and with the right flow. Lol.

[Meho]

@Matty; I get you. In contrast, I'm also not saying that he is some sort of hip hop savior or anything like some people claim he is. I can't predict the future but I view him as a 50 Cent type artist with a 5 or so big, successful years but not enough talent and variety to have a long career. Wayne on the other hand, might become a long lasting artist.

He's alright.The Fear was pretty good but I find him boring tbh especially content wise. His singing is crap but he usually chooses cool beats. I've already gotten a bit bored of Its Over (seems to have little replay value) but I hope his album is a bit more interesting that that EP he put out.

[Geesta]

he is aight... nothing that he is all hyped up to be but he is the best coming out of young money thats for damn sure

[BOX5 the best poster on this site yell]

he's ight and if he stays in his lane about bitches and fame he will be plat plus,he can rap,but saying he's a killa i don't believe shit like that, and for some reason he reminds me of a jonas brother who went solo with street lingo but that's just me yell

Some of his rhymes and patterns are out of this world, his punchlines can be insane at times.

I would have to disagree. Lol.

Some of them lines for a mainstream artist are dope as fuck

examples?

[MediumL]

I think they're talking about lines like: 'like a sprained ankle i aint nothing to play with' which is good when you compare him to a drugged up wayne and a semi retarded gucci mane. Tbh it says a lot for mainstream US rap although I'd say there's a lot better mainstream rappers out there.

That doesn't matter.
A good line is a good line, a wack line is a wack line.
Standards shouldn't go down for mainstream music.

Yeah i have to question you on that luna,drake has very simplistic rhymes Ive never heard anything that wowed me or made me rewind it.Same with his punchlines their very basic nothing great.I dont know where you get out of this world from,thats laughable.I also dont think his songs are all that great,hes carried heavily by production.Hes not horrible or anything but hes like kid cudi,he doesnt sing well or rap well and imo is vastly over rated.It seems like the mainstream is so watered down that someone like drake can be viewed as a good emcee,thats pathetic.I dont get the hype around him.Im sure his album will have some great production and thats about it.

[Lunatic]

Successful was dope, Over is good, Forever.

Some his lines are are odd "know i balled, chemo", "swimmin in the money come and find me, nemo" that particular one is fun. Like Meho said, he ain't no God like some make it seem but he's good enough where the success he's seeing doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's not like he's Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Soulja Boy, Roscoe Dash, etc. - nothing he is doing makes hip hop "look bad" so more power to him.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah i agree jay...extremely overhyped, overrated and all that
if he wasnt with wayne...he'd be a crooked I...lol

And if we talking cards i will fold him with the poker
You and your whole crew are like a deck a 54
So it's obvious ya'll be steady rollin with some jokers

Yeah... that's the reason why he looking hard
Cause i've done snatched the chips ahoy out the cookie jar
He just mad cause his gurls at the house
With her tounge sticking out
Like a michael jordan rookie card

It ain't a song that your ass finna skipp
I try'd to sell weed give me cash for this zip
The way your girlfriend pump me up in the car
Seem like she don't really need no gas for the trip

oooh weee!

[Chamillitary Click]

he's got the female appeal, he's got the Wayne fans appeal, he's can sing, he can drop a hit; he's a big ball of hype lol.

he can drop a hit single, i can't see him making a deep song, unless it's about a bitch.

rapping wise, he sounds a lot like Wayne, but he's got some punchlines.

he's hit or miss for me, but i have a certain taste.

networth, and that's what alot of people do,they will compare a drake to a gucci man, like they are the top mcs/rappers of today,and since drake is way better fans (mainstream) are like "wow this guy is amazing he's way better then his comp" yell
