Title: Do people really like Drake?
Post by: DTG Entertainment on March 24, 2010, 11:48:47 AM
In my honest opinion, dude is alright for an MC but his singing is wack as fuck. He sounds like what I would imagine a frog would sound like singing. Some people think he's the best thing since sliced bread, but I think the only reason people are really feeling him is because he's getting co-signed by Wayne, who's arguably the hottest mainstream rapper right now and on top of that, he's getting monstrous beats from people like Boi-da-1, DJ Khalil, etc. Plus, he's getting crazy coverage and features because Young Money are really pushing him. So, are you guys really feeling him? What are everyone's thoughts on him?

I see both sides of it. I see why ppl don't like him but sometimes when I listen, I see why ppl make such a big deal. Some of his rhymes and patterns are out of this world, his punchlines can be insane at times. And as you said ppl do enjoy his singing (it's good enough) and it really gives him a double edged sword (rapping and singing) that we don't see that often anymore.

Either way, I'm supporting when the album comes out 'cause he reps the hometown hard  8)  It's good to see someone from here making it so big.

I've heard a few songs and verses from him. Some of it was ok, some of it wasn't. I haven't heard enough of him to judge him properly.

I listened to So Far Gone and most every song afterward. He's entertaining, but he's the type of MC I would listen to if I wasn't really listening. His beats are bananas though, I find that to be the biggest thing he's got going for him as an artist.

Drake is like 50 back in 02/03. Definitely no super incredible lyrical mc but knows how to make hits and most importantly a good songwriter; subject matter, staying on topic, chorus, picking the proper production... And just like people were talking about 50 and how everybody else "kills the beat better" than him, there's a huge difference between writing a song and freestyling.

And his singing just brings another dimension to the table, before that he was just another new rapper, singing made him stood out and a more complete artist.

yeah that beat is really mellow and cinematic from khall. but i'd rather listen to the instrumental than drake crying about whatever on it.

in regards to drake - both his rapping and singing is shit, the singing moreso. he might have some decent rhymes and lyrics but so does lil wayne. 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.

Post by: Meho on March 24, 2010, 12:50:23 PM
@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.
Title: Re: Do people really like Drake?
Post by: MediumL on March 24, 2010, 12:54:12 PM
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.

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.

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.
Title: Re: Do people really like Drake?
Post by: Lunatic on March 24, 2010, 03:49:35 PM
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.

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

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.

Like baby those are cute I adore those

And whenever I'm flowing on the mic,
Aside from talkin' 'bout the d I'm throwin' in ya' wife

And I got verses I got verses
My 16's should be arriving in hearses
They get bodied You see how I murk this
I switch flows much as my girl switch purses

first off you know what it is if you heard drake
making hoes wobble like a bridge in a earthquake
never see me out cuz i live in my workplace
i get you the business so button up your shirt straight

Me 'n Weezy like a mouthful of hot peppers

Drake is dope in my book.  When he was underground nobody hated on him but now he's getting massive amount of love people are.  That's how I've seen it.  One minute people were posting about how great he is the next the same folk straight hate.  I figure it's that idiotic complex most posters on the internet have. The, "I'm too good for mainstream music and let me just disagree about any talent an artist possesses and say they're trash."

both really wack and extremely overrated




you were good til you said version of wayne....they are both borin, wack and overrated...lol

There are worse mainstream rappers, his singing's average and when he raps he sounds whiny as fuck, to me he's just a boring version of Wayne

lol i'm not saying Wayne's a god, all i'm saying is if i'm gonna be stuck listening to one of them i'd rather listen to a Wayne feature/song then a Drake one

I'd rather listen to Drake's voice. Wayne annoys the fuck out of me.

i'll take Wayne over Drake for reasons of swag.

& you can't help but admit Drake swagger jacks the SHIT out of Wayne; i don't care how big a fan you are of Drake's music.

Lil' Wayne = biggest name in mainstream rap; Drake = basic copy of Lil' Wayne lyrically, metaphorically, punchline-wise, voice (slight difference though *while rapping*).

the only major difference is that Drake can sing; but Wayne co-signs him still and that's why he is where he is.

Wayne could of came out quick & said, "fuck that nigga, he just jacked my entire style" & he wouldn't get the Wayne fanboy support & he would be truly hated on.

anyway, like i said, he's hit or miss, for me; we'll just have to see what his album brings; but with that being said, i don't see the reason for all the hype for this album after hearing the first two songs. :-X

Yeah, first Canadian artist I really enjoyed. By the way, whatever happened to Victor Lucas? He fell of the map after fucking Electronic Playground. Great show. I miss his and Tommy's reviews.

Drake is pretty tight.

if it's true that he ghost-writes for Weezy; that's pretty good, you know he gets a fat check for that.

been saying this guy is the next thing.

future of rap along with my dude Rain. 8)

he has a good mix about him, he can sing & spit dope shit.

i hear A LOT of Weezy in his flow though.

LOL come on now boys!

Post by: Chamillitary Click on March 24, 2010, 08:39:16 PM
what can i say? i had an impulsed opinion about him after his first mixtape, i got caught up in the buzz; he dropped a few solid verses, some solid tracks, i was convinced at first.

but if you want to talk "clown", you're not far off if opinions aren't allowed to change in your little fantasy world.

go scoop up comments throughout the world on peoples opinion about 50 Cent before & right after Get Rich or Die Tryin' & then see what the same people said about him after Curtis lol.

i'll say it for the third time now, so listen closely, Drake is hit or miss; he was "hit" right away at the start, but has progressively started to miss more & more & then you hear Wayne & Drake together on songs & you can barely tell which one is rapping (a joke, before your stanhood takes over & spazzes out) & what he had working for him has died as of late; but it's not like i've sworn off listening to him.

like i said ALSO eariler, i will be listening to his album & i'm going to go into it objectively, but as of now, hearing these two songs off of it, my expectations have gone down considerably.

again, i would like for formally apologize for having an opinion, i didn't mean any harm; i was just under the impression that's what this whole message board thing was about.

silllllly me. ::)

Because I do enjoy him and I never liked Belly. Got a problem with that? I never said he was the greatest thing ever. There you go, taking words out of context. He's average, but enjoyable.

Post by: Action! on March 24, 2010, 09:48:23 PM
I don't see how you can hate on Successful.  That's easily one of his top tracks.  Drakes voice isn't worst than say Eminem when he came into the game so it's not that bad to me.  Hell, em's voice was more annoying than Drakes when he hit the scene.  He sounds better than Gucci & Yayo.

I don't see him as a Lil Wayne clone.  Drake stays on topic where as Wayne kind of goes off, stringing punchlines together.  Wayne is more eccentric where as Drake is chilled.  Do you see Drake claiming blood, rapping about guns, or talking about aliens?  No, he raps about women, personal relationships, money, and his personal self.  Call it emo, gay, or whatever immature word but he's no lil wayne clone.  His flow might be influenced but that's different then saying he's a clone.

Drake is dope, fuck what you heard.

Does he have some corny wack shit? Yes.

Does he have some great music? Yes.

I downloaded 4 mixtapes, sort of like a Best of Drizzy Vol.1-4 with everything he's done so far and I have to say it's been in heavy rotation for months now...

Very talented guy.

People on dubcc just choose to write him off as a mainstream watered down act but there's def more to him than that.

I like Drake since he's probably the only Young Money rapper who isn't claiming to be a blood, plus he's got a few songs I've enjoyed.
Though he's practically unknown where I live, everyone's focusing on Gucci Mane and Black Eyed Peas :P. Only way I found him was because of his joint with Nipsey Hussle and when Young Money announced a collaboration album (only kept the Tyga tracks though).
I'd suggest his music for clubs but not for when I'd want something with deep meaning.

yeah, Wayne is more whiny & crying sounding, but tell me that you can't hear Wayne spitting Drake's verse.

lyrically, they sound so similar; on this song anyway.

I think Wayne just has that affect on all of his artists because he's the person they look up to. If you listen to young money they all have that style now, emphasizing the punchlines like how Wayne does. Niki Minaj does it, gudda gudda does it, short dawg etc. It's just a young money trait.

I actually like Drake better than Wayne. But I wonder if he really did blow up on his own or if it was just a publicity stunt and he was signed to young money the whole time? If he really was unsigned I don't see why Wayne would invest so much into an artist that didn't want to sign to his label at the time, it doesn't seem like a smart business move.

A freestyle isnt something off the top of the dome necessarily, its just lyrics free of form (ie. not a song or a "track" or a fully formed entity). I'd say 50% of freestyles are written and there's nothing wrong with that.

It only becomes stupid if someone is passing it off as if they HAVE made it up on the spot.

No its not one or the other. Read the description of a freestyle. It can be either, the phrase just applies to freeform lyricism, whether written or not.
