Can somebody tell Drake he isn't a Reggae artist...

I know for a FACT some of you niggas are around my age or older. . .

. . . and you fuck with Drake. What is it? Trying to have something in common with them young gals? Cause Drake type niggas was getting dumped in trash cans back in the day, but you forgot where you came from and embraced a singing ass light-skinned nigga with a voice that sounds like he just started puberty?

Drake makes dope music IMO, but could you imagine Drake in a dancehall in the 80s? Make it worse in Biltmore Ballroom in Brooklyn around Super Cat, Nicodemus and Jr. Demus, and those guys?

Drake has SOME dope beats, but what HE DOES on them does NOTHING for me.

Thats funny because you know who was around those guys? A Canadian white guy by the name of Snow. So yeah I could see him around those guys.

I don't remember Snow hanging with those guys. With Beenie and Buju yes. Super Cat is a man that doesn't let anyone into his circle.
 
hate turning on the radio and hearing that shit

Yep and it's more to come

And lmao at this being categorized as "hate" I like some of Drake shit so he drop a new album I'll check it out but I cut the shit on and starting hearing that shit repeatedly I'm like come on man stop

But I see the vision with this album he put a little bit of all his styles on there that's why it's 22 songs long

Why should he stop doing what he has been successful at? Why should he stop making music for his fans because you don't like his music (obviously there are plenty of people whi do). I don't like a lot if shit and therefore I don't listen to it. That seems simple to me.

Cuz that shit annoying I don't listen I skip over it
 
"PassionFruit" can get the hell out of here too. I'm sorry he didn't start with the Sean Paul shit on track 2. He waited a little.

This is under the assumption that "everyone's" music is force fed and shoved down your throat. It's easy to make this argument when most music is not in rotation.

But when it's force fed 24/7 and shaping modern culture, what other choice do people have?

It's about balance which hardly exists in modern music.

It's amazing how this board has turned on Drake over the years. Had dudes claiming to be his kinfolk and everything. He ain't the doing nothing different musically than when he first came on the scene.
 
Drizzy tryin to get his culture vulture on with the Brits.

Using their slang and accents
Just be urself, he tryin to hard

If someone popularized yodeling and whistling...guess wut Drake gonna be doin on his next album.

Nig bout to be an eskimo next.
 
No it's not raggae... it's a combo of

hip-hop
trap
r&b
dancehall
grime
african house

Co-sign

He's from Toronto, West indian influence is extremely heavy here....we make up over 70% of the black population.

I got no issue with him anybody from my city or artists like Foxy brown or Rhianna doing that type of style because it comes off as genuine based on their background and/or where they rep
thanks guys , i just dont get it with folks comin for DRAKE, u ik it or u dont but aquestioning his desire to expand his musical taste offerings..

he never claimed to be sean paul, he grew up in toronto which has a big carribbean culture and influence ,what so hard for folks to understand?
cacs can be inspired to make every type of black music they like but black folks in america can not be influenced by other black folks in the world?? so ...only other black folks in america ? while cacs can take from every black folks worldwide?

has it dawned on anyone yet that maybe he wants to be the new type of global rap star as opposed to just rapper ?
he's using south africa house with black coffee, afrobeat with wizkid , dancehall popcaan, grime in UK, and of course r&b &soul /funk
let him live!!
we have to get out that isolationist bs that white folks want us to be on,
BLACK IS BLACK !!!... in Art, in Music,In LIFE!!
