      I think that hasmore to do with his marketing strategy. Also, hip hop is based on respect not sales. Granted, sales are important but thats not always gonna get you the love of the people. Imo drake sells albums because white people recognize him and relate to him easier than they can to other artist. Plus, you know, the whole pandering thing he does.

    • @l.a.b.6000
      @l.a.b.6000 Před 5 lety +9

      So? The album is that weak hybrid hip hop shit. Andre on a track ain't a surprise since OutKast has always messed with that non-hip hop sound. Some songs on Side A of Scorpion has that pure hip hop sound. So you can't really fault people if they actually like pure hip hop and prefer Scorpion over KSG.

    • @zombie6653
      @zombie6653 Před 5 lety +263

      "Some songs on Side A". You forgot the entire other side of the album that's filled with slow pop-rap. You're talking about Scorpion having pure hip hop like DAYTONA by Pusha T doesn't do it better. DAYTONA and KSG are more polished, cohesive, and have better background meanings than Scorpion. Also, I didn't think there was a problem with artists using unique styles. I actually find those kind of albums more interesting than just consistent boom-bap. To each his own I guess.

    • @l.a.b.6000
      @l.a.b.6000 Před 5 lety +8

      Exactly which is why I said "Some songs on Side A". I don't fuck with Scorpion all the way thru. But that album has EASILY the best hip hop stuff I've heard all year. Like I said it's preference. If you like hybrid hip hop stuff you'll prefer what Kanye produced this year. If you like a pure hip hop sound then Scorpion is the better project. And Daytona to me sounds like some deep house bullshit. I don't really fuck with that especially when Kanye's drums are usually weak as hell.

    You know it really speaks to how unstoppable Drake actually is that not only is he just about the only star to be relevant the entire 2010s, but he puts out like 4 mediocre albums in a row and gets destroyed by Pusha and still gets a number 1 every time he drops. Laugh Now Cry Later, Wants & Needs and Toosie Slide are forgettable at best and still chart for months at a time. It's absurd, and as someone who does like Drake I really wish he'd flop for a bit so he gets hungry again and stops putting out boring shit because he knows he could fart on a track and still have it go number 1 with basic bitches going "oh bruh this my shit"

    Hands down, you are the best reviewer. You are totally non bias, and completely honest. You explain things so well. Thank you for your content.

    Drake would be a lot more tolerable if he dropped the tough guy rap act and stopped pretending to be lyrical. I see him more as a caricature of a musician than an actual one.
