Drake= The Most Overhyed Rapper Ever

[Action!]

The talk in here is ridiculous.

You must be stupid if you don't understand what Drake or Lil Wayne rhymes about.  It's often not nothing as some of you claim.  Each track is about something.

Real rappers?  Really?  Come on!  Are people still claiming this argument about MC's? 

Everyone here needs to chill out, enjoy the music, and move on.

[Shallow]

Drake has always been the way he's been when he came into the game, so he hasn't sold out lol.

Really?

I used to see this kid at the mall. He's nothing like the clown he portrays on camera these days. The guy is a one man minstrel show.

^i don't know about his personal life; but i'm talking in terms of music, i haven't heard a dramatic change from when he's came in.

The kid was born rich. He's from the very high end of town.


The answer is simple. He's an actor first and he's playing a role. He might even end up becoming very successful as a crossover star. He obviously can act. But his music will probably always suck.

opinions, opinions.

i dont even like mainstream music, but when it comes down to getting in that swagger party mood, i wanna listen to some drake.

i think hes got some clever ass rhymes too. its not like hes just farting over a sick beat and people like it just cuz its drake, hes got dope rhymes.

Just reflect on drake's struggle for a second

who the fuck is drake?

[Sikotic™]

Like Drake is the only rapper putting on an act. C'mon people.

Yeah but you gotta see where I'm coming from. He's been on TV here as a the clean cut athlete on a highschool drama, he was always around in the malls and community centers. He was younger than me so we never really hung out, and he was from a much higher end white neighborhood so he wouldn't come down to my area too often. But he was never the guy he's acting like now and I can't buy him in that role at all. Most rappers are acts but when you have seen the real person for so many years it's hard to buy into the facade.

For me it's like I grew up in the same part of New York as Alfonso Ribeiro and after finishing with Silver Spoons instead of going on to play Carlton Banks he decided to jump on the growing hip hop movement and started talking like Big Daddy Kane and Rakim. I just couldn't take him seriously.


I remember seeing Drake downtown at Dundas Square the summer of 08 or 07, just before he started releasing music, and he was all thugged out taking gangsta pics with some photographer. He wasn't famous as Drake yet and no one would have recognized him from the show the way he was dressed, and it was 1AM and not many people were outside anyway. He was walking around talking like Jay Z. We saw each other and he nodded recognizing me from the ball tournaments and shit (I was always the only white guy that dressed and talked like a white guy at these things so I was easy to notice), but I just looked back like what's wrong with this guy. Then he took off in his Pontiac Grand Am and the next time I saw him he was Drake on TV all big and bad.

Do I wish I spent more time with the kid when he was a nobody begging for acceptance on the street? Absolutely. But will I ever take his gimmick seriously? No.
