DRAKE CONFIRMS ‘CERTIFIED LOVER BOY’ SEPTEMBER 3RD RELEASE

I've truly never listened to any of his albums in full.
I listen to albums to see if it’s really what people claim it is and as has been the case with this guys entire career, he’s overhyped af.

His longevity is by default. There aren’t any rappers that really rap anymore. He’s there cause no one is and no one has the media push he does. He totes the line between entertainment and rap which is why he pulls it off. He reels women in with his emoting, than uses afrobeats, grime, pop and hip hop to do his bidding for the rest.

It’s always been marketing before any actual ability.

You saying he has no talent or actual ability?
 
Nope. I’m sure he has some level of ability (or maybe his ghosts do) but I’m saying he’s taking advantage of a lack of a talent and ability in the entire pool. Muddy waters make it easy to catch fish.

You see what happens when he has to actually compete ala Pusha T.

Its lights out.
Pusha T, Nas, Kendrick, Jim Jones, Dave East, all got fire . What you mean?
 
Drake leaked this. He did Kanye a favor in my opinion. Donda should have sounded like this. Andre 3000 still got it too



bruh this is what we need from Kanye!

who tf is in bro’s ear telling him not to release this type of shit! This that pink polo Louie vuttion don flow.

This one song is better than drakes whole album
 
Meh!

Drake and Kanye both dropped some sleepy albums.

I like this because it has that classic sounding Kanye flow to it but it doesn’t have that “it” factor to it, like it be a filler song on a old Kanye album. Nice feature to line up tho always nice to hear what Andre talking bout.

I kinda disagree...

He has legit competition SKILL WISE

There are real rappers out here now

Drake as a pop star icon hit maker trendsetter?

He damn near icon.

The game is crazy competitive right now

But he smartly found his lane and has been able to dominate it he knows his demographic his target and caters specifically to them.

Women, social media etc etc

Thing is he hasn't grown even with the kid.

But at this point he is unique. He is his own genre of music

That is incredible.

And no matter who writing...

That boy can rap his ass off has a good ear for beats and has classic classic verses.

But he won't ever be top mc class

And he seems at peace with that

Kendrick and Cole are not

Griselda coming

And we seen 21 savage , lil baby, durk and them are not either.

RAP IS STILL IMPORTANT TO THEM.

Not saying it's not for Drake, it's just he made his choices.

Good for him as long as he and his fans and his camp happy.

And honestly there is some hypocrisy from critics too...

A whole lot rappers have used the same subject matter for decades too.

Just saying.

But this album was a good "drake" album.

He STILL has never dropped a classic to me. Outside that mix tape.

But there is so much good music in that exhaustive catalogue that has to count for something

Drake’s not marketable, he’s here because of talent and people like his music.

He consistently puts out good music meaning none of it is truly wack. The beats and the rhymes are usually nice. Some may not like the songs, but they’re not wack.

He stays in his lane and puts out his brand of music consistently, that explains the longevity.

Now as far as his popularity? I can’t explain that, I don’t think anyone can. It’s not media push, it’s not his label. He puts out music and people run to listen, it’s weird.

His accent to where he is unex

Drake can spit, or maybe it’s his writers but Drake can spit.

He went at Meek Mill who’s supposed to be able to spit, but Meek limped into a corner.

Pusha got him with the kid but Drake started it by mentioning Pusha’s fiancée.
 
When truth heard this song in the car


Truth expression



This is the song everybody seems to like the best

What is the secret to Drake's longevity and influence in the rap game? I've truly never listened to any of his albums in full. I don't like his flow or voice or anything.

I wasn’t a fan of his music and was asking the samething until I heard that song “Know Yourself” from his “If You’re reading this it’s to late” album. I decided to check it out and been listening to that whole album for 3 years now
 


Drake thought it was strategic to leak Kanye's diss toward him though. I guess he thought he was playing chess.....he thought wrong, cause this is that Old Soulful Kanye
