- Perhaps Aubrey Graham’s best acting days weren’t as wheelchair Jimmy on Degrassi but rather playing a hip-hop superstar named Drake.

Changing the thumbnail 3 years later... I respect it lol
right😂
😂😂😂 I thought he was a from the future for a bit
It tripped my out when I saw it was made 3 years ago 😂
He knew what time it was 😅
The thumbnail got me too
Putting euphoria in the thumbnail 3 years after upload is a crazy CZcams cheat code.
Bro, he even says the title of the album at 15:33 🤯
Everything on CZcams is a cheat code. Green screen, AI narration, click bait title and thumbnails. All that. This shit because a septic tank of fckery
He got me too🤣🤣
lol facts
Nah fr 😂😂😂😂
After this recent public beef with Kendrick this video couldn’t have aged better
Aged like fine wine lol
what changed after the beef
Drake have always been like this his attack was inevitable
It's awesome!
Check 15:34
His dad's prison mate rapping to him on the phone was Drake's first ghost writer
LMAOOO
underrated comment LMAO
I don’t even believe that story. They record those damn phone calls. Proof or gtfo. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how do you expect him to find prison call recordings from the 90s?@@tavern2468
Don't worry, Drake found his true self now. He said he's lesbian now.
nice
😂
😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pusha-T won the feud by bullying Drake into being a father
I wonder how many crack babies and broken families pusha T supposedly made and now he wants people to be fathers
Micah S People who champion women empowerment*
Considering that drake was planning on being in his kids life already and was doing shit for him
All pusha did was revealed it to the public
@@RanMaru144 I mean, Drake was gonna keep his kid a secret for a long time if Pusha T didn't expose the fact that Drake had a child with a stripper
@@patrickracer43 he wanted to keep his kid out of the limelight
People feel like they're entitled to know his life but they don't.
Changing the thumbnail is crazy😂😭
i specifically came here to see how many others noticed lol
It’s a fire 🔥 cheat code, I clicked knowing I’ve watched this before
It’s clever
The crazy part is not about the thumbnail change, the crazy part is that this man called Drake an actor portraying a rapper, the same thing Kendrick accused him of in this recent beef.
Yes the spell is finally wearing off.. haha.. peep game homie
What I find so baffling is that people, with all that we know about how deceptive so many industries can be, _still_ believe that sales = talent.
Drake won the popularity contest, not the talent show.
I'm For Talent The Ability...
YES!
Agreed!
He’s clearly talented as well as popular.
@@RapRants But hes not the best. and its known that he uses ghost writers.
Everyone seems to forget he's an ACTOR.
He's ACTING like a rapper and it's working.
Ding ding ding!!!!!!!!!!!!🤝😭😭😂😂😂😂
Most rappers are actors. I often compare the music industry and rap in particular to professional wrestling. The wrestlers are actually physically throwing each other around, they can still get hurt, it's not a easy thing but...it's a show, it's entertainment. Same with the "rap" industry, sure, some of these guys come from the hood but everything is staged and driven by executives just to make money and in part socially engineer a target audience.
Actually incredible that you thought about this and actually made sense in your head,
Bro just cause someone had a part in a tv show does not mean everything they do is fake.
Someone gets it.
This video age like fine wine 😂😂😂 it just gets better and better every year
Yeh
"Yo bro, he sucks, don't ever play that shit to me again"
Lil Wayne's first instinct was the correct one
😂😂😂
Wayne should’ve stick to it 😂😂😂😂😂
I definitely think Lauryn Hill was the first one to properly combine singing with rapping…
Hi my name is kanye
I agree
🎯🎯🎯🎯
Lauryn Hill did both at a high level. With powerful writing too. I'm always reminded of her song Lost Ones.
@@faizeak4272 wtf Lauryn was way before kanye

Drake proved he was a clout chaser to me when all of a sudden he’s with Sexxy Redd, at all of the basketball games, etc., He inserts himself with whatever has the most popularity. Most of the time it’s not that these artists are even good artists…it’s that we get accustomed to seeing them all of the time. They become a household name. Gone are the days when rappers worked hard on their own lyrics and took pride being original.
Amen 🙏🏽
It all started when he was chilling with Ninja on Fortnite
That's kinda what popular rappers tend to do.... Have you not seen Wayne? Kanye? Akon? Eminem? They all do this, it's how you stay relevant
@@SpeakerBoxXx805 Kendrick is really revelant right now and he didn't do any of that tbh. Besides making music for movies
You nailed it perfectly describing drake, he did the same thing with rappers here in London
"My blackest friends" is crazy 💀
LOL Man said his blackest friends make him feel excluded. Maybe that's cos you refer to them as your 'blackest friends"
@@diplamatikjuan3595literally. Friends are friends. Not white, not black, not brown, not yellow, not nothing, nothing but friends at least
@@Poopdedoop2 Facts! Drake is a certified weirdo - in many different ways. I always thought that dude was off. I'm glad he's finally being exposed
@@diplamatikjuan3595 so he just says "hey black friends!" I'm sure he's not doing that
@@Poopdedoop2I've had my white friends tell me.... "I'm blacker than you!" People say it all the time
"Numbers don't lie" doesnt mean anything anymore when you can buy album sales/streams.
No way you think drake buys streams
Man really think drake buying streams 💀
which is why Drake writes his bars while taking a shit or gets someone else to do it...
There's always been someway to influence and scam. Nothing is new.
"Numbers don't lie - But they can be manipulated..." - ME!
Drake wouldn’t be where he’s at without his producer. There’s a reason he’s stuck with him for this long.
artists who get big whilst not actually arranging/producing their own music should be seen as part of a team rather than solo. the army of people that work hard to actually write the music don't get enough recognition. rapping is still an impressive skill but it's more genuine when they can make their own tracks too.
You can say that about every artist
@@froogsleegs Most rappers aren’t producers. But the ear is what counts
@@froogsleegs The artist is the star, but yeah you have a point. Some hip hop engineers have also started putting tags on their productions. Usually in hip hop songs, 2-3 people, are involved in the creation of a song…
Um no. There are other deciding factors. Producer is just one.
Hearing him say my blackest friends is wild 😅
It’s crazy that with the beef going on this video was actually ahead of its time. Jake you’re a creative genius.
Noah "40" Shabib. The key in Drake's biggest moves.
Cold Hard Facts!
Yep
W out 40 drake wouldn't be good lol
The true genius behind the sound.
When he croaks Drake is fucked
It’s Drake’s fault he isn’t celebrated as a “black” artist by Afro people. J. Cole is also biracial but he goes out of his way to uplift the community, celebrate the community, and critique the community. So he is celebrated more for his blackness. I don’t think it’s fair for Drake to complain when Drake rarely talks about the community unless it involves hip hop
Why do you need musicians to lift up your community ... you should be able to do that without the voice of a millionaire
people support rappers who talk about the community only if they agree with the rapper's opinion. Otherwise they just drag his name through the mud.
He addressed ur exact point in his recent interview acknowledging that him not speaking up enough plays a role but he also said that he’s always been someone that prefers actually doing things instead of posting about it. Also that he prefers talking about these issues amongst his close friends. I agree with u but I also understand that it’s not for everyone to b outspoken on social media about things yk.
Nah cus he's Canadian
Emmanuel Crepin yeah I’m okay with him not being outspoken and putting in action but to try to throw black people under the bus like we’re not just accepting just because is not cool.
This man is an ACTOR.. remember that
😂😂facts
One of the greatest actors ever being able to maintain the Drake character for so long
he cast himself as "Drake"
2Pac was an actor too what's your point? Ice t, ice cube, Snoop dog, ll cool j etc

seems like drake is no longer putting effort in his work anymore.. anything he puts out automatically becomes a hit because of streaming services.

Yes being fan means sending death threats to people who don't have the same opinion as you do. I don't think you quite undertsnadt what a stan is. Listen to the song again and maybe you'll get it lmao
I think it's crazy that when Drake first started he was viewed as somewhat unique but now all of his music is viewed as some of the most generic music from the last 15 years.
Its cause he dominated the scene; the other musicians followed his style, making it generic.
@@Pyrohawk Stop the cap lmfao
@@Pyrohawk Where you get this lie from?? He the biggest stealer of them all from flows to dances, and the signing rapping wasn't his he not the first to do anything, jumpstart off popular shit
@@Pyrohawk lol dude I’m a fan of drakes music and even I know that line is complete bull shit 🤣
He just sold out bro
@@quizzyquandadon9289 that line is cap, but I would argue that Drake did introduce a “different sound” compared to the rappers around him at the time he blew up. He spoke audibly, and annunciated his words, and he was doing R&B singing, while also rapping. Drake has fallen far but we still need to get him the credit he deserves for the good stuff.
CZcams decided to recommend this to me after kendrick lamar's euphoria
Bro predicted euphoria 💀💀
Drake is the McDonald's of the hip-hop cuisine.
Kendrick is fine dining
Cole is the good home cooked meal
@@cIiffe But they all cost 9.99 ?
@@pastelboys9281 talking about experience not cost
@@cIiffe Oh so I guess its subjective, cause I feel like Drake is fine dining and Kendrick and Cole seem more like a Fat Burger or Mcdonalds. More down to earth
@@pastelboys9281 interesting way to put it
subjective for sure yeah
The idea of drake going to see his dad in prison and his dad having him talk to a random ass dude is hilarious to me.
What bullshit!
I feel like his dad was just trying to toughen him up. This man is the softest person I swear.
Dad: "Aubrey, I want to introduce you to a rapper."
*Calls over the first guy he saw freestyling.
I don’t believe this story at all.
@@EtalviaC he’s talked about it on records more than once. No one’s called his bluff on that yet 🤷🏾♂️
Actor playing a rapper. Remember that. There’s a reason he’s so good at imitating others. He’s skilled at acting like a rapper. Gotta give him props for that
How is rapping not an act?
Why are so many good actors who turned rappers or so many actors trying to sing/make music not topping the charts?
@@TheSpokenWizard recording a rap is no different than reading lines as a voice actor. It makes sense when you think about it. He’s a great actor aka master manipulator
"You think I didnt have to struggle?? Didn't you hear about the time that I asked for a tuna bagel sandwich and my mom brought home chicken salad??"😂😂
Wait who said this Kendrick which song ?
It’s crazy how easy his come up actually was lmao A classmate basically got him an agent, the agent immediately gets him on a television show & he gets 7 seasons out of it, then he puts out a couple mixed tapes….& boom, J Prince’s son discovers him on social media 😂😂 No struggle AT ALL
@@isitoveryet9525 You thinking that J Prince just discovered him by random is the funny part. You people didn't do enough studying because that's the public story. You see the nice guy look on him and it makes you think he didn't have a street life prior to hip hop. Also, he wrote for Dr Dre before he got signed by J Prince and Cash Money sooo. Just because you're in a tv show doesn't mean that you won't be in the streets. The mafia played that card well
@@SpeakerBoxXx805Trying to convince people Aubrey was in the streets is crazy
@@KExKE people being so against it is the crazier part. 4 months out of the year he was in memphis. People don't know how bad memphis lol
With the new album out this video is just a cherry on top
Just here to see ppl’s reaction to drake’s latest album that couldnt have been more generic.
When I heard man say, “I hope it’s different.” I was thinking that aged like milk.
I just thought the same thing. lol
You guys do know that it’s supposed to be a mix of music like his old albums right? He literally put a video of what CLB is supposed to be in December of last year guess everyone just forgot since they’re so ignorant
@@Evolutionbandit1 lolol calling us ignorant but cant even spell they’re correctly
I think he’s struggling to find himself again because his current star power kind of strips him of his humanity. He’s become more of a brand than a person and it fucks with him. I’m not a Stan or anything but I feel like he’s just trying to please the fans because he can’t take the criticism he receives imo
Well said 💯
Yeah and i cant imagine the type of canadian politicians drake moves with, rappers talk about how theyre on a no-fly list due to associated with gangs/ murder its crazy drake in an instant gets people cleared. Thats type of reach means you gotta watch what you say. Dude can be canceled for anything at this point but still remains. Interesting video and top comment!
Drake is the Michael Jackson of this generation of hip hop. Im not saying hes that good. Im saying this generation is that fake exploited remade unoriginal and terrible. Nobody on top of this era is living out what their spittin out. Money is the only credibility. What young male artist is making concious struggle music defining an era as a poet? Is the story we tell in 30 years about this era of hip hop really Drake was the one bad apple in a half way decent original genre altogether? Listen to the song 'The city is mine' one more time. Jay was being belittling about his only use for those collaborations and the top spot as a brand. The video was actually quite clever.
@@rhyno8644 you giving him way too much credit. He's not the MJ of anything. He's just Drake
unlike people like Kendrick he has to alter is stylistic ability to become commercial however Kendrick had always been that way and after he became popular, and had not lost his train of consciousness
Changing the thumbnail 3years later is diabolical.

drake's best ghost writer is a artist that goes by the name "the weekend"
The Weeknd* (Yes I know, but that's how we XOs do)
I mean, without him, Drake would die in the beginning (I mean he wouldn't blow up as much and start to write and sound a bit better) and vice versa. Without these Take Care features he wouldn't be AS known (he was still making quite some fuss with the mixtapes)
Also got his sound from Mr Partnxdoor

Was dead looking for this comment b4 I posted mine but didn’t run across it til afterwards lol but yea that part
That’s actually crazy
the saddest thing is being a total Drake Stan, relating unbelievably to his early work, the vulnerability, the self-awareness, and then seeing the artist you idolize slowly fade way and give rise to this EveryMan Global SuperStar Grifty TrendHopper Forever Young type of dude. It's a mind fuck and heartbreaking, but a great lesson in maturity I guess
You know what’s so funny bro drake is literally the only person that gets deemed for helping Afro beats uk beats and hopping on styles and putting rappers on. But anytime Jay z did that with kanye rihanna etc and kanye would do that when Travis Scott cudi came up ppl look that in a good way of putting ppl on. Especially Hear in the UK when we don’t get recognized as much for our artist when drake came to section boys concert with skepta instead of being at the brits when he was notimayed is literally a cultrual moment for us. Or when he put on giggs on his album twice . Or when he did a song with headie or Dave 4 years ago before he was famous man eveyeone in the uk actually fw drake for that but ppl in the US get mad at him for putting uk artist on and then get mad when drake says he likes to perform in Uk the most cuz the fans are way more lit which is actually a fact anytime a US artists actually go oversees they get way more love then where they actually stay at .

You're Completely right...Roy Woods, Majid Jordan, DVSN, Popcaan, Baka Not Nice & the latest edition Smiley (Makkonen 2.0)
He signs all the Toronto/GTA Talent...features on 1-2 singles for them but then never promotes or pushes their projects to the forefront.
It Seems like Aubrey collects these artists under his OVO Sound roster so he can keep them in his back pocket for when he needs them / doesn't have any competition to deal with when he's back home in the "6ix" (48 laws of power move)
++ The new up and coming Toronto Rappers are dying to get noticed and approved from "Drizzy" or by the main OVO crew, which is pretty fuckin sad to say the least - no one is willing to go against the grain...to reject the "Sound" and forge a new musical force within Toronto.
That's why I fuxked with Tory Lanez & his 1 Umbrella Movement but that shit fizzled as soon as Aubrey neutralized that so called "beef".
#ToniDaley shows us. Had she not, we wouldn't have known.

Good point. This was a really good vid. People are really evolving with video making and media making in general.
Drake is the Apple of the hip-hop scene: it's not that there's anything particularly innovative about him compared to similar artists, but his music is well packaged and regardless of what enthusiasts think about his music, he still gets the most listens when he drops something new, and likely will for a while.
Even Apple has gone and done a bit of innovation now with the new M1 line.
@@simonbright2975 Because there was a gap in the market with Intel's chip performance sucking, so Apple took advantage of the opportunity/had no choice, depending on who you ask. There's probably a drake parallel there, but I don't listen to enough of his music to tell you what it'd be lmao
@@tchaffman Yeah, but... the end result is still a disruptive force that innovates💡! Drake has an open field to do what he wants, but maybe that's what is holding him back.
@@simonbright2975 I agree with that 👍
What 😡 top 5 🤬 you smoking on 🤨 kendrick 😐 because my top 5 😎 is drake 🥵 Drake 👹 Drake 🔥 drake 🤪
i feel the money he has made plays a big part in his newer “persona”. A lot of other things we will never know about.
Yea money like that brings a lot of power wether people like it or not. And we know for a fact that Drake does keep some goons around him. Chubbs, Preme, Baka Not Nice, Fif who was gunned down a few years ago. We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.
Yea I think he needs to reconsider what being a rapper means to him, his latest project doesnt really stand out and it seems he just wants to make money nowadays, so I hope he can come back later with a new perspective on things and a project that actually means something

Legend has it that Aubrey Graham went deep into a role and never came back
Watched this like a year ago and I had to come back today
Never cared for Drake but I can't deny the success he's accomplished is astonishing. I think people are finally seeing for what he is, a copycat.
I don't think he's a copycat he has an appreciation for different areas of Black music & culture (e.g. from the Caribbean, the UK) and is able to reproduce that sound with his own mark imprinted on it I don't think that's a bad thing, that's talent & adaptibility. He is lifting up people from those scenes as well.

No he's not. Especially not before 2016. Dude's sound was the most original up until that point. People like you literally just go along with narratives they see on social media.
This is good shit, even though I'm gonna say "so what" when it finishes.
🤣Right!!! Why they mad🤷🏾♀️

Miss yall DBZ videos
exactly this is so unnecessary
drake didn’t start from the bottom
These mfs time traveling
Not really
there hit a point where his music wasn't topping the charts because it's good, it was topping the charts because it's drake
hmm...
Facts! 💯
Man you are so right. His latest album is so meh
2016 imo.. views and the songs he released that summer
@@Lazyfoal it’s house music man, not for everyone. Just like Kendrick’s new album, not for everyone
I think there is no way someone would not change after 12 years of being the biggest artist on the planet. The industry is tough and drake probably just grew with his success, but I won't deny we definitely need old drake back
True but he hasn't changed recently. It wasn't explicitly stated in this video only implicitly but his last few albums have all been about him party and hooking up with models/pornstars and how that's affecting his life. As someone else put it, he hasn't grown up these last 5 years or so and that's starting tk show more and more the longer it goes on for
@TheMilk Trafficker I think the reason Drake has been the biggest artist over the last 12 years , is not because his music is fantastic, it is just incredibly inoffensive. Someone like Kendrick Lamar makes better and more thought provoking music, but you can not just play his music anywhere. This does not invalidate the amazing music produced over the last decade making it "forgettable", it just means Drake makes music that appeals to a much wider audience
I hate when people wish for somebody to return to their old self like were not allowed to grow
@@colebanville3372 then he's not the biggest "artist"... Just the biggest product
@@colebanville3372 true everyone readily accepts the weak ass, sensitive, ain't gone do 💩, doesn't look threatening black man. That's the only way "they're " going to accept it.
It’s crazy how he’s evolved and morphed into something so sinister and way different than when he first started.
‘You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain’.
15:35 “Drake always says the right thing, maybe that’s why we don’t trust him” OOP- Metro and Future have entered the chat 💀
Anyone who was around when Drake first came out, know he made a career off bootlegging 808s and Heartbreak.
Wrong
I was so glad to hear this man mention Kanye and 808 bc people were on his a** about singing and rapping etc and he was the first to really do that (male rapper bc Nicki Minaj has been doing this since 2006.)
Nope

You should watch the episode of Atlanta titled “Champagne Papi” where they make the point that there is no Drake…
Yooo brooo I always knew everything that Donald put in ATLANTA has meaning what a genius
So that's what that Episode was trying to say??!!!!! 😨🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was just to explain that he was actually mexican
Lmao the one where all the girls take pics with his card board cut out
There is no Drake actually. Just a few dudes who play him as he is a character. I think Craig David is one
he's not a culture vulture, he's a colonizer 😂
dude updated the thumbnail 3 years later
"once a lame, always a lame"
Drake goes from "valley girl" to "blaccent" 0 to 100 real quick.
Valley girl loooool
Straight up lol
Tbh I also think it’s possible that the shy, insecure, confidence lacking kid we saw back in ‘08 just grew up & through his success & consistency; largely considered the greatest of his generation - he’s no longer insecure, no longer shy. He’s confident, often coming off as cocky. I think you would be a *FOOL* to think that *anyone* having the success that he’s had/having would still be the same person they were 12 years ago. That shit would *DEFINITELY* go to your head. Idk, I don’t think he should be crucified for it.
Agreed
Was waiting for this fuckin comment!!!! YES YES YES!! The people that hate on him for changing like any human being exposed to that kind of spotlight would, is ridiculous! Much respect to you for spittin the facts my guy!
If you think he’s no longer insecure, you’re not actually listening to his music.
He’s the most insecure rapper in the game.
@@iNostraD maybe not as insecure
Exactly man. People act like you cant evolve and change through experiences. We all do and we cant act like we know what he's been through. Drake is valid, no one is perfect. He kicked some ass too.
Aged like fine wine 🍷🍷🍷
15:31- predicts Metros and Future’s album title 😎
This is why I could never get behind Drake he has amazing music without a doubt but he just always seemed so fake to me. You can see his demeanour change and him take on a new persona depending on who he’s around. He comes across very insecure and not sure in himself. I do think he gets a hard time tho, everyone clowns him & it always seems like he’s trying to prove himself while trying to act like it doesn’t phase him. I also think the whole situation with Pusha T deffo had a effect on him...that track broke him imo. He just needs to find himself because he IS talented but being honest and bearing your soul goes hand in hand with making a good work of art. He should use his next project as therapy and not as a money grab or something to hide behind...
Everything you mentioned is because he's *an actor* . lol He's been an actor playing a rapper for over a decade.😂
Exactly, well said. He’s stuck in this duality that wants to please these teenage fans and stand vs true artistry.
But don’t you do that when you’re at work or around strangers?
@bobshreder huh
He is very insecure. He was very active in strip clubs and was your typical stereotypical insecure customer. Who wanted a convo and your attention versus a dance and what you usually come to the club for.
I knew of Drake when he was still on Degrassi so I watched him kinda blossom into the artist he is today, and you can definitely see that he just wants to fit in, especially since with his brand he can become the leader of the trend he is copying
He's the Megaman of the industry, capturing everyone's essence as his own.
OG gamer
Naw, he is more like Kirby bro
(Just kidding I got your reference)
@@Ettrix well he does eat'em up and steal their power, so you're right lol
@@crosswiz6 you already know
he said hes better rapper LL KOOL J THIS DUDE IS A IMPOSTER AND WILL NEVER A PIONEER IN THE RAP GAME
Drake the type of guy to have a baby by an "adult" actress and still end up with "child" actress allegations.
"the evil u know is better than the evil you don't". That's powerful
As a biracial person i can say this, we never fit in and thats our burden. We are always gonna be stuck between two cultures and very few people will ever understand.
and you constantly got other people tryna tell you what you are and aren't.
i understand
There’s a lot of mixed people out there
@@lifegoeson1007 yeah but there's people that are just mixed with white people , or just mixed with Asian, or just mixed with black. I think that's not the same as when you are mixed with two very different peoples. In that respect then their languages have almost no overlap, food with no overlap, dance with no overlap. For exame, I know someone that speaks korean, german and English knows all this and other cultural things (history, dance) fluently. That person is like a god between the Korean and German peoples. I know another person who speaks Croatian and Serbian because of their background. While it's political between those Yugoslav people's, this is not a big difference in cultures. Same food, same history sane ideologies but still hate each other. Biracial makes life so complicated because everyone's racist
@@lifegoeson1007 or I should say that people still believe in racism to divide rather than unite.
I remember when drake first came on the scene I thought he was a fucking legend. Now it just seems the older I get, the more annoyed I get with Drake.
Recently found some shit that seems really sus about his character
Very sus 😂

Drakes best quality is his ability to put out a sellable product. His work ethic is admirable
Business. Obv if he was good in studies he wouldn't do this shit. Or if he was serious he would be having some "content" at least
He's no Curtis Jackson.
Drake went from nothing was the same to everything is the same
Good one.😁
Hahahaha
I dont think there's anything even remotely wrong with the way Drake handles his career.
Sometimes, it just doesn't have to be that deep. "Pushing boundaries of artistic expression" and all that yada yada doesn't make a musician. Drake handles music like a job,a fun job,not like a public diary.
It works for him, and I personally don't see him "not being artistically authentic" as a problem,because he gets the job done. From my viewpoint, it just doesn't always have to be that deep. More or less shallow music, but thrived throughout decades of the ever changing hip hop genre, and you can always count on some drake in your playlist for a fun time.
This is a great perspective. I think Drake and Lebron’s careers run parallel due to the fact that they found out what works for them and what allows them to be consistently successful for over a decade. Sure, a lot of purists don’t appreciate it but one could argue that they set the market value for their respective professions and many artists/athletes wouldn’t be getting the same looks without them.
I agree, you are entitled to make make music that is simple to digest. Not everyone has to be Kendrick or Kanye in their aproach to writing music, if everyone did music as an art form would get really boring really fast, the vastness of genres and moods of music is definately one of its strengths.
But here's a thing.
There's a difference in making light and simple music, but is strong lirycally nad sonically and in making music that is light and simple, but is a throwaway garbage written on a knee 15 min before and sth that noone will remember about in a couple of months.
Since IYRTITL, I feel like Drake just figured out that he is on such a level of fame that he can do whatever and it will still hit the top of Billboard 100. And I have a question: how often you come back to his older projects and mixtapes and how often you come back to stuff like Care Package or Dark Lane Demo Tapes?
Konrad Pachel I mean Care Package is literally a collection of his old work 😂. You can probably attribute Drake’s recent lack of effort to the fact that he is uninspired. He’s gotten all of the accolades. He’s beefed with everybody. He’s rich as fuck. I saw someone say he’s completed the main story and he’s just doing side missions for fun. I assume his main source of income comes from music sales so he HAS to put something out. Why not just put something that’s fun and catchy out instead of stressing over putting out a critically acclaimed project?
@@NoHandlzz Im not saying that he needs to put sth critically acclaimed, i like listening to his recent singles. But albums are a completely different cup of tea and you van have albums that can be catchy and fun AND good
Konrad Pachel that’s very true. I just think the lines between playlist, album, and mixtape are kind of blurry nowadays.
Drake's writers are the real talent!!!!
"Somewhere along the way he became more interested in maintaining his relevancy than being authentic". So true, it happened on day one. It's shocking that the Canadian child tv star isn't an authentic hip hop artist. He's closer to the Degrassi character than his his hip hop character.
Yo, how the hell you gunna talk that smack when we all came up in DeGrassi dawg?! After school snacks n’ shit, you know.
@@bennybongosbigolebonanza894 lol u hilarious 😂 😃 😄 I stopped liking drake when he got all pretend thuggish like he grew up in the projects .....when hes really from the Beverly hills of Canada
@@bennybongosbigolebonanza894 Lol, I'm not talking smack about Degrassi Drake, I'm just commenting on wannabe street Drake. The only time I ever saw Degrassi was at a girl's house and I was certainly never there to watch tv
As a big drake fan I completely agree with everything you said. His best album was nwts but I can’t lie I loved scorpion and views
I love your videos man and this should tell you something because I never comment
Scorpion and Views weren't for me, I admire your honesty. My favorite was Take Care but I know a few men that swear by NWTS.
Nwts was great 👍 and nobody really brings it up if anything the only cool thing on take care was marvins room and that rick Ross just blaze track
He could’ve had some okay points in this but he would say events out of order
Views is goat
Shame there's no coverage of:
Nickelus F teaching Drake how to rap
Aristo beef
The co-opting of Phonte's style along with Kanye
Drake and 40 writing for Dr. Dre pre So Far Gone
As he grows a lot of his story is only getting remembered by those of us who were listening since 06.
that aristo diss was lethal
Cause they the only ones recording that wanna hire you
People don’t truly listen to What Drake says the only listen to what Drake haters say. These same people would tell you to pay their haters no mind about what they have to say because they make shit up.
