Think about your your favorite rapper, what makes him or her your favorite? Is it the lyrics? Is it the fact that he uses dope beats? Or maybe they always seem to have a catchy hook, “Toot it and boot it.....” Or maybe it’s like me and Kanye where above all else you appreciate his creativity. Another question is, why do some artist get more respect than others. In some cases its clear why, but in other cases it’s a little harder to identify what separates one artist from the next as far as respect.
Take for instance Drake and J. Cole. Drake had Wayne to co-sign him, Cole had Jay. I think Cole is lyrically on par with Drake blow for blow. The only difference is that Drake is a little more punch line heavy. So the question comes about, why has drake seen so much more success than Cole? What is it that people appreciate about Drake that they can’t find in Cole. Is it something measurable? Is it something we can pinpoint exactly? Or is it something that’s intangible? I’m dying to know this.
So what is about a rapper, or an artist in general for that matter, that makes you fall in with him? What is it about that makes you say, I’m gonna go out and BUY his cd and not just download it? I’m gonna support this artist. I’m gonna listen to his music everywhere I go? I could go on, but I think you guys can see the gist of what I’m trying to find out here.
