Drake

Sparky · 10-06-2013, 12:16 PM

for a really funny article i'd read this. The first time i read it i thought it was a joke and was laughing very hard, than later i realized its actually not a joke and don't know what to say

GRAND THEFT AUBREY - DRAKE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSE | NOISEY

Quote:

Drake walks into a bar. He's supposed to play FIFA against a stranger while 50 people yell obscene soccer chants behind them like it's a real soccer game. But the PlayStation breaks, and Drake can't play videogames anymore. So instead, he goes up to the bartender, buys a beer, uses it to salute the crowd, then leaves without taking a sip.

lol

It's toss mate.

Genuinely give this album a try as apart from maybe DJ, I find it hard to believe that any of you actually listened to it before writing it off.

Will do.

EDIT - 12 tracks in, the content is ****ing dripping wet

He doesn't have to say he believes those things, it's a vibe, i mean he thinks he's making music more timeless than others, so obviously he believes his technique in some way better than others. Which is pretty wrong.

"Hold On We're Going Home" i'll give you, especially since I don't have to hear him rap once, but "Started from the Bottom" is the epitome of wackness.

Drake also has going for him that he doesn't need to rely on guest spots. Shit, over half of all 'mainstream' hip-hop albums over the last few years have actually included a Drake verse somewhere so if the people who're actually making and making a living from hip-hop appreciate what he brings to the table and you guys don't, I'd say it were you lot who're in the wrong on this one.

Wayne did it.

But I do have a basis for writing it off, judging by Drake's previous shittiness.

Thing is, SFTB is actually one of the standout tracks on here. What's with Drake's delivery as well? Sounds like he's pissed/mumbling/having a stroke on SFTB, there was another track he did it on as well. Annoying as fuck.

Agree with you w/ HOWGH btw, heard it and though it'd be very popular. Doesn't appeal to me though.

Mate this CD is ****, I listened to the whole thing. The lyrics are disgustingly cringe. There was one in particular, can't remember which song but about 8 or 9, and he said something about his kids looking beautiful with fictional woman in the song

. There's no sincerity to his music, it's so fucking forced.

In my eyes it's Drizzy's best effort to date. He strikes the perfect balance of his pseudo emotional half and his agitative rags to riches storytelling.
I love how people get so wound up by Drake, if you don't like him; don't listen.

lol, can't just dismiss everyone as a hater if they think this album is a pile of steaming shit.

I'd take rappers who try to push the boundaries or better themselves over a bang average, bland as fuck pretentious pseudo-deep wet flannel, tbh.

Not really, though. Mainstream music is designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, if someone wants to make a mainstream Hip-Pop album, do you get the best rapper on there or the one who will help you sell the most CD's/raise your profile? This is no different to all the cunts putting Bieber on their tracks. Drake is 'in' right now, that's why he's on all these tracks. But he's an average rapper at best.

I like Drake

djchameleon · 10-28-2013, 11:35 AM

has anyone read the Drake The Type of...twitter account?

Here are a few of them in video form.

He has some lame ones in there but I still chuckled.

This meme is definitely one of my faves.
