Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video, "Is Drake Just a Scam Artist". Drake is commonly described as one of the best rappers of the last decade or so. He's extremely popular, (sometimes) critically acclaimed, and he's also a fantastic marketer. With his most recent single, Toosie Slide, it got me thinking of all the shady things he's done for fame/relevance/success. Between the age old debate of him being a "culture vulture", him stealing verses and riding waves, sports Drake, Care Package, trying to create a TikTok song, and more. What do you think?

i can't wait to listen drake's south korean accent.
Metronome &808s hahaha
Heard his Chinese one and I must say it's pretty legit.
HAHAHAHA
It ended up being Arabic, which threw EVERYONE for a loop.
@Rohit Chavda Hindi or Tamil or Bengali or Urdu or Punjabi or Telugu?
Drake completed the story mode on his music career he's just on free roam
Pretty Much Bro
Best comment lmaooo
Almost spit my coffee out
You mean he started story mode but do nothing but side missions and free roam
@@joeblack7262 nah he finished the story mode
Drake was the richest kid at my school, his family very connected to Toronto's film and music industry, So when I first noticed the song "started from the bottom" I almost died of laughter.
Can you tell us more about him😳
That explains why he copies. Anybody else got bigger bucks for the courts?
😂
He was in your school?
@@gloop177 You know celebrities. Half their life is on articles online or people from their childhood say sum. They probably saw/heard/read one of those.

Honestly, that would be cool as hell
@@rennytothe4727 bro would be an anime character if that was his goal and I'll respect the hell outta him for that

"Is Drake a genius marketer or a scam artist?" In reality they're pretty much the same thing.
Facts
You can market without scamming so no
Scam artist 👩🏿🎨 He took Phonte’s whole style. I’m glad people are waking up.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯
Exactly 😹
Marketing ain't shit in songwriting, your song should just be great period! From a songwriter's experience.
Toosie slide was literally the laziest song I have ever heard. Usually when you hear a bad song you can assume, at least a little bit of effort or emotion went into it. It sounds like if his manager wrote the song and told Drake to just shut up and sing it because it will blow up on tik tok and make them both money
Des Mcmahon the music describes moon walking and drake just does it wrong
Viper>
Just went number one..... if he is lazy and has a record that goes number one damn
ro Suzzie agnes cuz it blew upon tik tok and kids will listen to to ignorant shit
fuck alfo
he just made me see tik tok
this is fuckin insane
Drake is seriously a character we don't know who he really is.I don't think he's been anywhere near authentic since room for improvement and comeback season.
So true!
Nah since nwts era and this is coming from a huge drake fan
@@cj3five_435 facts
I was going to say Scam Artists, BUT when he mentioned Quint Tarantino, that's when I realized that Drake is low-key a genius. I mean if he was a scam, people would be liking his music, but drake is giving people what they want. And it's music that fans find enjoyable. I agree it's not the best music, but the music he makes are like the newer Marvel movies. Honestly, they all have the same idea, yet people still come and buy tickets. If Disney can do it, why can't drake
I agree with you bro
It's just music bro
A quote from a Epstein island visitor? Another comment from a brain dead individual
Because Disney is for children, and hip hop isn't. Simple, like you.
@@chukwumaagbo wdym
i think drake stopped caring about really rappin when he felt people didn't give Tuscan Leather the love it deserved. nothing was the same has some of his best verses and got overlooked for grammys. I think he stopped trying. that being said, you can still make a 90 plus playlist of his songs and have a got ass time
I absolutely can see that except he went absolutely nuts on IYRTITL. I think after that he said all he had to say and no longer felt he needed to prove anything to anyone. Remember what he said on 6PM in New York.
Nah after IYRTITL that's when he fell off.
I agree to a point. I don't think he stopped caring about RAPPING rapping. I think he just went with what's popping at the time and didn't put that much into it as time goes on. Believe it or not, most artists do this anyway. But Drake seems to be the biggest offender. For me, I'm a Body-of-work guy, and Drake's album arc have been interesting to hear. It seems to me that he always looking for that one project that will make him seen as respected for his craft, but he always seem to fall into temptation for what seems to be hot at the time when things don't go his way. It may have been happening before hand (I'm not sure), but I kinda saw that after Views came out. He was putting it on a pedestal as his love letter to Toronto, this HUGE album, like an instant classic almost. And then, when it didn't do that great, he said he was releasing a "Playlist" or "Compilation" album, which turned out to be More Life. In the meantime, goes on a feature run (Skepta, BlocBoy JB, etc.) to stay hot, as usual. Then, he tried it again with Scorpion. Again, didn't do that well either. Back to the feature run! It's really fascinating to see. He's still putting out good music. It's just that he's a little too busy chasing what PEOPLE want him to make instead of what HE wants to make.
He stopped caring as soon as he took someone else's words and made them his. Nowhere else but in music can you do that. You cant take a painting and say i did it. So why can you take a whole song and perform it with only you credited? Those Quinten songs are covers. Not drakes songs.
@Romy Taylor yeah. The industry is the fakest its ever been. Theres some artists that really put their work in. But the 69sx Drakes, cardis, and that dumb bitch on dr phil. Rap is an embarrassment. At least a large chunk of whats on the radio. And to clarify, im not talking about just a few words on a song. I mean this dude took entire verses and labeled them his.
he is a businessman, not an artist
easy as that
You can be a businessman and an artist like Jay z
Dev Pat yeah. but drake isn't.
@@mxkhxi fax
those things are not mutually exclusive
And a pedeophile
tarantino pays hommage, he loves films and is an expert at his craft.. you really shouldn't compare him to drake
But Tarantino is retiring WHY can't Drake retire?
The guy who started as child actor on a Disney show who made a song about how he started from the bottom should tell you everything you need to know.
I don't even know much about Drake's life but I can tell you he wasn't from Disney 😂 😂 mans came from Nickelodeon
Nickelodeon actually I never even knew it but his rapping was better in that show than in real life.
He steals from his own OVO artists. That's why The Weeknd left, look where he's at now
that's why since Take Care, his music has been shit because drake used the weeknd for it.You can hear it in that album
@@schiziodcrown agree. Take care is Drake best work imo. Its the only drake's album that win best rap album
@@samuelfransiskus2768 the weeknd said he gave up 5 songs to the take care album, and helping produce others...
@@geminilife756 yes ik, thats why take care sound different from drake's other album. Its more like moody/dark rap mix rnb like the weeknd style
@@schiziodcrown id say after nothing was the same but yeah
I really think he stopped trying after 2015
I really think he never tried... when you make a song with such terrible lyrics such as "hotline bling" and it's a success, then it says more about our society than the "artist"...
@Andreas Walker Milli Vanilli at least tried, knowing they were hacks! This guy actually thinks he's good. Again, H O T . L I N E. B L I N G.
JulCaos bro Hotline Bling was one song have you heard some of Drakes verses I mean if you have and feel he’s boring than that’s cool but bro his first couple of projects were pretty good. 2015 was his final year of trying and being the absolute best. IYRTITL IS INCREDIBLE. If you haven’t heard that I highly recommend it
@@producedbykhireyakeem4340 thanks for the honesty, but I judge a book by its cover... so in my humble opinion, he's not worth it.
JulCaos Drake WAS good, but I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to listen to him because of all the bullshit he’s done the past 5 years. He was pioneer along with Kid Cudi, Wale, and Kanye in the late 2000s, but ever since 2015 he traded that relatable/soft image for being “hard,” which is evident in the way looks, dress, and acts now. Plus, he talks about sending hits on people. That shit is mad corny. IYRTITL is the last time he tried as a solo artist.
"It's not hip hop ,it's pop"
Eminem
🤘🤣
only Eminem found a hella way to fuse it
That’s exactly why it’s called pop… Whatever’s Popular is the sound it rides lol
This video covers everything I've been trying to tell people for over 10 years
The sad part about all of this is that most of his fans don’t really care about his motives. The general public don’t really care if it’s art or just a money grab and when they see the latest trend, they wanna follow it and he is at the forefront of it always.
Well said...
If the music's good... the music's good. If it was a money grab, but it was good, why would or should people care? Tossie slide was trash, but scorpion was fire as hell, the guy saying there were only a couple of good songs if ridiculous lmao.
@fenezerv you said a whole lot just to say I don't like drake bro not sure how numbers don't matter when it comes drake but it does for other that always makes me laugh
@@nottodayimbusy7146 numbers is numbers, quality is quality. To pimp a butterfly didn't blow up like scorpion, but it is WAY BETTER than scorpion
@@samuelfransiskus2768 I respect your opinion but that's all it is
Don’t disrespect The Weeknd like that though. He’s actually pure talent.
Wrong
The Irish Potato how ? Look at the numbers bud and he started from nothing.
@@joeycoffey8045 that doesn't mean they're good.
The Irish Potato okay so he has the same vocalistic tone as MJ. Are his vocals also bad? Lmao
@@theirishpotato6588 he is very good
Genius marketer. You can’t call him a scam artist, when he’s just following the rules of the streaming system. At the end of the day, his fans will enjoy his music. He’s in the music BUSINESS. It’s his job to hit those numbers and stats.
that's what im thinking too. You don't have to like his music but he is VERY successful with what he is doing. As far as him "stealing" everything well if that's the case has he been sued over it? It would seem it would be mentioned he is in court all the time for the stuff. Or maybe its just that is what 'some' folks are calling it but others see it as showing respect which it can easily be looked at as. Every single little thing having to be "approved" is getting into being like the supposed Japanese salaryman workplace. Lol
"His Fans" will enjoy his music....but everyone else he wont make new fans or Music fans wont like his music
@@recheetos2347 you literally have no way to prove that lol and since he's a musician his fans are music fans lol your comment was ridiculous
@@nottodayimbusy7146 i know alot of musicians who think his music is thrash
@@recheetos2347 he will always make new fans, cause his music always changed to follow trend. Just keep my word: When rap genre on its downfall, drake will switching genre. He'll do everything just to stay relevant
Drake is merely a businessman. The most profitable jobs in the world are sales jobs, and he’s damn good at sleazing them sales. He hasn’t been an artist for a long time.
“Tik Tok choreographer”
dial it back there you’re giving too much credit
yes! exactly... these kids are just idiots who think they can dance, but have no real talent...
JulCaos let’s see you make a popular tik tok dance
Lmao watching people make tik toks irl is some of the most cringey shit
@@TheRealCrayfishin typical dumbass response of someone who thinks popularity is the most important thing in life... once you leave high school you'll see there is more to life than likes and praises from complete strangers... I pity you...
Tik tok is definitely cringey as a hobby but the say so dance seems like so much fun, not anyone can come up with something like that.
You can be talented in a shit medium, much like reality tv editors
"they might be geniuses, they might be scam artists, but one things for certain. They are good at what they do"
Awesome closing line
You make great vids
Ironically, I read this comment the same time he said it. But honestly it’s well said lol
As a jamaican, I'm personally surprised drake doesn't live in montego bay the way he scams. As you said, there's a severe drop in quality (stopped listening from the decent began) and he shows no signs of actually caring about the work he releases, he just wants money. Imagine if every artist only made art for money, shit would be terrible
He's a Genius Scam Artist
I remember when Drake went from a big artist to a phenomenon when Hotline Bling was released. I remember feeling like Drake was changing into a different type of musician. I guess "If You're Reading this, it's too late" is the last genuine thing he released then.

I really started listening to drake around 2015
More life was the best by far.
Was it tho??? Or was he using the same formula he has always used and y'all finally got burned out?
@@miyagifatghost2684 no
My take is that Drake's music is just a vehicle for him to be rich. Theres no artistic integrity
John Ortiz this is a strong opinion that can’t be backed up with facts. Who are you to say he has no “artistic integrity”? What do you know about “artistic integrity”?
That's it right there. Close Thread.
PERIOD
no aritistic integrity?and so why do people like it? there’s something bout his sound that makes him relevant and that’s art.
you obviously have not listened to any classic or deep drake...all you know is toosie slide and hotline bling.. goodbye
Let's not forget he tried to rip off XXXTentacion before he blew up, it's never mentioned but that KMT song is outrageous
Kmt better than look at me
@@Allswagyep let ask xxxtentacion 🎤⚰
@@OathBoy_562 I've never even heard kmt. I don't even know if thats the name of the song or an abbreviation of it. Drake might make good music, but its because he cherry picks trends that are on the come up in the underground scene and just turns it into a pop song thats guaranteed to get 100 plays a day on every radio station. Maybe that makes him smart, but some would question if you could even consider him an "artist". An artist puts in the work and takes the enormous risk career wise because they have true passion for the music they create. If drake wants to play the music industry game, and create music for absolutely no other reason than a financial one, more power to him. But he can't be surprised when the true artists that he has undeniably, "taken inspiration from", lash out. They are just looking to make enough money to pay this months rent, while a mega millionaire is biting their sound in order to shit out another pop radio hit.

@@unnamed2466 I got a better one for you, what good things have you done? Why does Drake have to "do good stuff"? I didn't know you had to be Mother Teresa to write songs 🤣 man, some people are fucking stupid lol
The difference between Tarantino and Drake is, as was stated, Tarantino puts a spin on his projects. Yes, he may borrow ideas from other film makers but he does it in a considerate and passionate way. You can tell Tarantino loves his art and always puts his all into his films.
Drake however, blatantly steals from other artists and does what he can to stay relevant to appeal to the general public. At one point, he did care about the music and the industry. He let his riches and fame consume him, so now he will either A) pander to the fans of his old music or B) create a project that only serves to further fufill his monetary gain.
I find it hard to respect Drake in the same light filmmakers respect Tarantino. Everything seems so fake with Drake; where with Tarantino it is evident he puts time and effort into his films. Most of which are very enjoyable and are celebrated as pop culture icons (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Bastards)
WindyAura 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@WindyAura Tarantino is controversial, he's used up scenes from lesser known films to his advantage, counting on the American public of not having seen them. Eventually, every artist takes from another but Tarantino is just as blatant as Drake is. Its interesting how the comparison is brought up, Tarantino has an almost cult like following, I have 3 movies I love, made by him. If research is done, its easy to see how he stole foreign ideas and recreated these films to his advantage, putting the traditional Hollywood hero, white man/woman. It is what it is with Tarantino, at the end of the day, he is a cultural vulture, the best kind since he's went unnoticeable.
Inglorious Basterds is a beautiful movie. This is coming from a 14 year old
Tarantino actually mentions these instances tho. Drake doesn't. Though I'll leave it on this "good artists borrowing, great artists steal"
Well said
“They might be geniuses, they might be scam artists. But one thing we do know is that they’re good at what they do.” That was a dam good ending for the video.
Thank you for making this, I knew I wasn't alone on this!
Ah yes Drake, if you like one of his songs you’ll like the song he stole it from more

Noi 1301 as much as I don’t like anyone stealing from another artist I still can’t help but like Drake’s better
nah
k prove it bitch
Beyond spot on...respect the hustle tho
I'm glad somebody finally said it. Drake throws out these quality loosies to keep people interested and then puts out blatant cash grabs to keep his checks big.
James Morris a lot of ppl say it James and it’s always white guys I wonder why
Yah no shit he gotta eat too, I wish I could film a crappy low quality video and still make it a hit
So you're crying about Drake trying to fucking survive? What is this comment section?
@@rivalsoul9853 survive? SURVIVE?? Hahahaha good one man, the guys worth $150 million, the last thing he needs to worry about is "surviving"
I thought white people loved Drake. Didn't he get famous off some nickelodeon kids' show that pandered to white suburbanites? Who do you think made him so famous? It was white people, swallowing the trash he peddles
Drake is a robber😁 I found out a month ago he bought One Dance, his first biggest billboard #1 song, 3rd most streamed song on Spotify, Drake bought the song from a Nigerian artist called Wizkid and man didn't even give him much credit💀 He tapped from Afrobeats culture 😂💔
@@aleksandrosofficial Of course Kyla's part was a sample but the main song was first performed by Wizkid produce by Sarz (a Nigerian producer). According to Drake, he's been wanting to sample that Kyla's vocal but wasn't seeing no success until Wizkid came and everything clicked with One Dance. ASCAP gave Wizkid the award crediting him as the writer. So?
@@aleksandrosofficial I get it, Low IQ. Don't worry, once I start my own CZcams channel I'll be sure to give you the full gist. Ciao
@@davetube3958 you are actually correct. during the lockdown, there was a vs battle btwn two producers, sarz(the guy you mentioned) and masterkraft. During the battle, sarz played the original version of the song(which had wizkid's vocals and verse) as a KO move.
@@aleksandrosofficial While I don't agree with his low IQ comment, it is true Wizkid barely got credited for the song. I remember the song coming out with Wizkid listed as a feature and struggling to find his vocal part 'cause it was just a sample.
I mean Wizkid did get a Drake feature on a song called Come Closer I guess, so it was probably more a collab .
Btw, Wizkid was already massive in Africa, which is why the One Dance "feature" was so disappointing.
Naww theres more to it just know I'm a ghostwriter with over 30,000 songs only the best
How he explains tiktok as the one hurting brain the most is just too funny.
I like how Drake has the exact same 3 expressions in every photo of him ever.
I’m surprised he didn’t release an album soaked in auto tune, synths and reverb and steal the “YahYah! Straight Up!” after he hopped on Travis’ album
He could never be Travis. Jaq 2.0 a GOAT next to Wayne. Simple
The cha cha beat was too basic to “copy” but his agent probably used it because it was the most recent source material
I'm so glad I came across your video. I've been saying for a good while how I didn't like him, but couldn't exactly explain to people why. He always seemed fake, so all I could point to was how I used to watch him on Degrassi and... I just didn't like him. Thanks for putting into words what I was feeling.
surprised there hasn’t been a kpop drake yet
Also I bet briefly It passed through his head ripping off something from Billy Eilish

@@blueboxter6834 Wdym?
This is an interesting conversation. I love Drake, but I do understand and appreciate your perspective on this. Believe it or not, most artists tend to do this anyway. It's just that Drake seems to be one of the biggest offenders. On the music side of the conversation, I can admit that he does stuff like "Toosie Slide" (Which is ok, btw) that is obviously pandering to the TikTok trend and stealing full verses from other rappers (i.e. YG's "Who Do You Love?") is just flat stealing. However, for some reason, he always seem to find a way to make it where people can enjoy it. Like, I can still listen to that WDYL verse and still enjoy it despite knowing that he lifted half of it almost word-for-word. It's weird for me. As for the accents, I think it could be trend-hopping and him having a connection with those places as well. I mean, he did have family in Tennessee via his dad. It's strange. If any other rapper did any of this, more people would've called them out on it and sooner. But since Drake is... well... Drake, he has a bit more leeway. Again, that's an interesting question that's going to cause a lot of discourse in the comments.
Also, I don't know if this would to the conversation, but there's a book called "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon. I haven't read it (Though I plan to), but from what I've read about it, it talks about how to stay creative in the digital age and how that nothing in original. I think it could add some depth to this.
In the hip hop culture we call this "fake" hiphop is all about authenticity.
Thanks for the sauce
Enjoyed this . Your a good journalist
when i used to be a kid, i used to wear my moms lab coat and pretend that i'm a doctor. Seeing drake just reminds me of the shit i did..
You gotta despise the man to notice all these things about him 😅 damn his music is still good
His music is catchy made for little kids.
Drake and his music fucking sucks i don't know what you're talking about
@@ivanpopov2727 it sucks to you. Not most of us
he's both. great analysis man, I used to be a Drake fan, but you articulated better than me as to why I'm not so much now, and also the Pusha T conflict was life changing embarrassing for Drake.
A large part of hip hop is based on using shit without making the previous artist benefit. Hip hop was legit created by rapping over other genres. Look at the trouble producers go through to flip a sample to the point where they dont have to pay to clear it. Look how many times people got fucked financially after copyright claims on samples or used melodies. Migos literally took someone elses flow and then said they created it. Soon after everyone in hip hop copied it
😂. All of these lil rappers that used to be carbon copies lil wayne plus now youve got young thug and future clones. Yes he has done some suspect shit but its funny to me how everyone shits on drake and at time ignore the unoriginality of a huge sector of hip hop. I guess everything is cool until you start doing it really well cause before you know it everyone is at your throat.
You nailed this. People who really like Drake beyond his music but as a person make me ask questions about their values
True. If we can even call ot his music.
Drake just wanted a quick buck during the virus my guy. He’s always been a businessman over a musician. I would be angry if it wasn’t so successful. Yes you’re a music channel so this is blasphemous to you but to get as big as drake wouldn’t be possible now a days just by making good music. He’s not the beatles, he’s Warren Buffet.
this man is spittin
Facts ^ drake is like McDonalds but musically
Except Warren Buffet doesn't produce art. He's ruining the integrity of his art and throwing out any self-respect he has for himself or his creativity.
Anything for a quick buck I guess
Dehno calling someone the mcdonalds of music is not good. that means cheap low quality trash that sure yea is very popular but it's only popular because it's easy to get (listen to) and it's harming people.
im a music fan. Like genuinely I spend my days enjoying and discovering new music from shoegaze to punk to hiphop and rnb and industrial and I love drake. Even as I discover new music, I just understand that drakes make pop music that to me is very enjoyable to which I can turn my brain off and that’s great in its own right. Just want to break the stereotype that all drake fans r brainless tiktokers that just listen to what is trending.Hopefully I didn’t come off as pretentious or anything
No ofc you don't you can like what you like it's just annoying when people are serious about his music being anything other than pop
@@Vivacomunismo he has meaninful music, u just dont listen cus it's not on most streamed
@@LDmc.9 Yea, people that say Drake only makes "Pop Music" are closed-minded and never gave his other music a chance. They literally only listen to his "pop" songs.
And I don't blame him. If you're pop songs sell more, then why stop? I appreciate music, but I won't knock the hustle. You gotta get it how you can.
I agreee
At the end of the day it's about getting paid, Drake has mastered that, he keeps his name relevant, he keeps music on the radio. If you could do the same and secure your financial security for life , you would too, its to many singers ,rappers etc on the streets and in subways performing for nothing , that should be making money for their music like drake. I respect Drake's hustle 💯
Money will not get you respect though. So if you make sleazy dumb fake money, when people criticize you, just grimace and swallow it.
@weezing_ juice Naw Pac's / Mos Def, I like drake though. At the end of the day it's a means to support yourself, love or hate his music , drake will eat and feed his family forever ( If he's smart with his money) that's what its all about , everything else are just consolation prizes.
I think it was jada kiss that said (Referring to Grammys and music awards "You can have that, my kids can't eat no plaque, pay me".( Something like that) Smart Man.
@weezing_ juice I feel you, but I'm talking about generational wealth, money not only for him but for his family bruh!!! Hopefully when he's dead and gone they will expound off his success and continue to build off of it for those coming behind them. I agree about the craft of the music, but its subjective anyway. Man who wouldn't want their family taking care of financially, not saying it brings happiness, but that's one of the 99 problems you won't have. Money doesn't solve every problem but it can solve most of the basics ppl face , like food, Shelter, transportation, healthcare etc. Drakes son as of now doesn't have to worry about those things , do you know how many ppl do have to worry about their next meal? They would love for their parents to have made millions off of mediocre music ( According to some) they wouldn't care , belly's are full, and it ain't raining on their heads no more, daddy did good!
@@tackyzack8693 music is an art form not some cash grab scheme. He’s literally vulturing the business. I just can’t respect that. It would be one thing if he was an executive to like apple or Samsung but music should not be seen as a business first and a art form second.
@@moonrocked I feel you on some of that, but I wouldn't say him or any other artist who's trying to secure their financial stability by making music their full time occupation, puts their craft second or view their life's work as only a means to making money. You can see the effort , passion, and work that goes into they're music. At the end of the day though, they're not making music to NOT sell and generate capital , they expect for ppl to like it enough to purchase it period. Drake has mastered that.
Aubrey copies, steals, and recycles. That's why he's on top smh
Every 5 years or so there's a shift in music that you either appreciate,
or it serves to make you realize that you're getting old
Every rapper: *has talent*
Drake: i am the copy cat ninja
Not all rappers have talent

Wow good stuff. Its so true

Meg thee Stallion created the Savage dance. She knew what she was doing.
this video is just story of adidion 2 but without a beat
Borrowing sounds and styles is literally what music is. It's the core of hip hop.
Difference is drake doesn’t evolve them whatsoever.
Rappers are literally actors that don’t drop character much
I remember when hotline bling was uploaded to Apple Music (he had an exclusivity deal at the time) and it was listed as a remix to DRAM's Cha Cha
Yes I remeber that too. It was in 2015 and it was written like "Hotline Bling (Cha Cha Remix)"
I didn’t know any of this stuff about drake, but I never really liked his music. It always felt... disingenuous.
He was bubblegum based on his devotion to it and his coattailing of Cash money and Lil Wayne crap.
@@Thespeedrap bubblegum?
@@TheBossManBoss319 That's the same as pop music or pop rap and some call it.
Here after the beef
Hope this blows up.
Drake only does good Simp themed songs.
So you are gonna ignore his time stamp songs?? (5 am in Toronto, 6 pm in NY, 4 pm in Calabasas) or even his intros like Tuscan Leather?
He simped for Rihanna.
cry more shithead
The difference between Tarantino and Drake is that you can feel that Tarantino loves film and you cant feel that Drake loves music
that's not true he def loves music you can hear it in a lot of his songs
@@oliverhann6815 Agreed. If you watch some studio sessions with him, you see he can actually make verses & hooks on the spot. Drake has talent in music
Drake loves fame.
The difference between Drake and Tarantino is that one of them is the biggest artist in the world.
Both These comments are dumb af
@@bendover2684 facts and numbers ain't dumb buddy, Drake's on top like it or not
@@diazdiomedes9102 yeah You keep interpreting stuff Like you want , time is a Butch and IT will fuck Up drakes Trash music xD
Aged like wine
I see drake as just mediocre, nothing more, nothing less
Anthony Smurthwaite your talkin about j cole but ok
@@bubak4960 I like j Cole... Because I found jid because of him, but in terms of music, yeah you're right, but I think I like more Cole songs than drake, which I admit isn't that much
Anthony Smurthwaite If you view music as a form of entertainment, which more people probably do, drake is the most streamed artist of the 2010s, and so entertaining the most people. Maybe you don’t think his music holds up to high scrutiny as art, compared to less commercially successful artists, but there’s no way drake is just mediocre as an entertainer.
@@supersnail5000 drake is popular because he follows trends and appeals to the lowest common denominator, I respect his hustle, but as an entertainer, mediocre
He doesn’t care anymore
Drake just followed Jay-z blue print and Kanye’s wave riding
True
Drake is overrated. Really, the only reasons why he's so popular are that he's a hip-hop/rap artist, hops on to any trend that's popular at the moment, and the memes.
So does it make him overrated if the people listen to him?
@@thesecond8187 not necessary
@@Astolfo2001, hmm, so what makes music good?
@@thesecond8187 Its just catchy music. But it's also really lazy. No thought about the lyrics or melodies.
@@lexxihd5843 ppl like it so….
Bro this title is some crazy foresight
Views (2016) is the last time he genuinely cared about his music. Not scorpion, not more life, Views. All the songs match the theme and aren’t made for a quick cash grab. Views.
More life is way better than views
Agreed views just seemed like he still made somewhat decent music
Not even views, views was so weak
Bash Drake for feeding himself, on a video that’s just barely 10 mins long which is CZcamss criteria for video ad money
Hahaha damn boy! You got em 😂😂👌
at least there isn’t even filler on this video
Reinaldo Guzman
he bashes drake for being lazy
@@420speedweed He did say he was perhaps good at what he does."
@Now give me your money and a new level of non comprehension. Go to school.
Remember 2010-2013 drake,man that was probably the last time he cared about music,he was really consistent back then
there was no need and place to compare what quentin does to what drake does
7:03 Swans "To Be Kind" is a scam *confirmed*
Holy shit! This video sums up all my thoughts I had about Drake when he released Toosie slide.
WOAH WOAH WOAH
Was NOT expecting that low blow to Quinton at the end, can't believe you compared him to drake 💀
I know he has it in him to make another great album like NWTS or Take care but he’s been hella lazy lately 😔 love him but he’s selling out
Romy Taylor yeah Chicago really made me believe he can drop another great album!
Name one rapper that is not doing it for the money
Kendrick or Kanye
@@jacksonchampagne5659 bro what Kanye does everything for money he didn’t even care about music at fucking all only about selling shoes but because it’s ye it’s okay but since us drake we all have to fucking hat him
I don't really know much about Drake, this was very educational, cheers
When laugh now cry later comes out right after this
I generally agree with your video, but music artists have been making low effort songs that teach you a dance for clout since at least the 50's. Like, there is a TV show from the early 50's called "American Bandstand" where focusing on songs like that were part of the weekly schicht and those songs have been pretty consistntly popping up since.
So yeah, not a huge fan of Drake, especially with the decline lately as you stated, but your painting stussie slide as if it's a new thing and it really isn't, they had stuff like last decade, the 00's the 90's and so on.
all that energy to hate on another MAN.
Let’s see with this album coming up
At the end of the day, people have their favs no matter what. And often time the criteria that is used to uplift their favs, is the same that is used to down those who are not their favs. That's just how it goes.
I don't think the word scam artists applies to people who just sell out and buy into marketing trends, he's not scamming anyone and it's very apparent to most people what he's doing. He's not scamming anyone
