Mos Def on Drake: “It’s……‘mall’……music”

You can tell he wanted to say so much more. Maybe mot as far as what DMX said, but way more.
 
Drake makes music for bitches.....women and bitch ass men
That's all some people want to do.
I don't listen to Drake. Not my era; not my genre, not my cup of tea.
I've been on-site at a show or two, though.
His shows sell out because people like his form of escapism.
Whether they are delivering "real hip-hop" or "music for bitches", at the end of the day, they are all just entertainers.
Rappers get real self-righteous and forget that when a pandemic breaks out, all of them are out of work.
 
The generation that let strippers dictate music

I'm torn on this

Because I remember backpackers hating on bad boy and even Rae and Ghost and Nas for the mafia and luxury raps

There was so much foul ignorant popular music in that Era too

Drake ain't FOUL he isn't dissing women fake killer fake drug kingpin either.

Why is Cole and Kendrick getting a pass? Do they BOTH give all positive music?

I wonder if Cole sold as MUCH AS DRAKE would backpackers still love him?

Let me be clear Yasiin is a rap god to me but I don't know if Drake is an issue?

And who is Drake audience?

Cause I would argue his audience feels they DO get something from his music

Does Bey care or even know about THAT audience?

He and Talib just did a griselda record...

What does Westside give his audience?

And you know its Grisrlda all day with me.

But let's keep it 100.

People hate what's popular, they also hate it more if they don't like the person and feels that they deserve their success.

It's the same reason they'll hate and dislike Beyoncé etc.

And you're right about people hating on Badboy and BIG.

That's what I don't get

It's not like Drake stopped anyone else from eating

And the REAL IRONY?

Drake and Yasiin got a WHOLE lot in common... he was a child actor theatre kid we all thought was kinda corny when he started went full backpack and got a LOT of white boy and pop acceptance at one point but things derailed.

If he had popped at the same Era as drake there would have memes about HIM being on sitcoms... especially with Cosby.

And your 100% about Cosby

And the unwarranted Beyonce hate

Man you’re so right.
 
Hey man, they asked him and he have his opinion. Don't let them ask me.

This is why I don't understand the term "hating" anymore. He was asked a question. It wasn't like he just offered up an opinion. Like niggas was talking about Criminal Minds and Mos found a way to bring up his distaste for Drake's music. Was he supposed to lie or give a PR ass answer? Don't we all hate when people do that?
 
Also, considering how loosely we throw around the term "hater," I guess we'd have to call this hating too, right?
