also most of the hate towards drake is simply racism.

Thats not true. I like Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, Saukrates, Moka Only, etc and they are all Canadian

Moka Only might be, but I dunno...I tend to rely on how an artist sounds when I judge them, not their religionFor example, I think Wu-Tang is dope, even though many of them are 5%ers who hate white people...their music is still good...unlike Drake's

why are you comparing drake to wu-tang?thats like saying drake sucks. tupac is so much better.Mayeb you are just OLD?
8/17/2013 3:17:57 AM
I'm comparing Drake to Wu-Tang because you felt the need to bring up religion
8/17/2013 3:19:26 AM
its true though. a lot of people hate on drake cuz he's a jewhttp://heebmagazine.com/tweets-about-drakes-re-bar-mitzvah/35389[Edited on August 17, 2013 at 3:30 AM. Reason : read all that]

That's not why they hate on Drake, they hate on drake because he is the purveyor of lyrical cuddles. When they hate on him they bring up religious things and other things that they think makes him soft, and that is lame as hell. But his religion isn't WHY they are hating on him. If he was a better rapper, and stayed truer to his mixtape days, then you wouldn't be hearing nearly as much hate. And no, him becoming popular isn't why people think he sucks now. Look at Kendrick. He became popular, and everyone thinks he's awesome, because he can actually rap.

^^people think kendrick is awesome because he raps about thug shit. its retarded.i like a lot of the songs but my iq goes down every time i listen through good kid, mad city.and you hit it on the head with drake as well. he sucks because he raps in a less hostile way. rap was not supposed to be about thug shit. is people like you terpball that have hijacked rap and ruined it. its ironic. i'm not saying drake is better than kendrick either.you're the reason why we're down to lupe cole and a handful of true rappers.

that quote was from the Real Ghost Chronicles blog.I don't know what makes you think we're down to a handful of true rappers - there's plenty of good artists out there right now. Unfortunately, the industry has changed into being about what sounds catchy enough to sell albums immediately instead of producing an album with quality lyrics and staying power. I haven't listened to a single album recently that I think I'll still be listening to 20 years from now like I am with Ready to Die, Aquimini, The Score, Enter the Wu Tang, the Chronic, and All Eyez on Me.

ok I'm biting. I'm not a hater of modern hip hop nor do my balls bake in 90's hip hop all day. I dont live in the past but I see the game as a whole. My only complaint is that I dont understand why mainstream hip hop is not as broad as it use to be. There was a time where everyone did gansta rap but that didnt' last long. Saying Drake cant rap is a person who lives under the floor boards. I dont care about his material. i dont care about about him being fake. One thing. Are you good at your craft? I have heard drake rap his ass off. on the other foot saying Lamar isn't good is a person who lives in the grave. look at the fire he started. it gets me pumped. Niggas coming out the caves with responses. We all should love it. finally gives us something to talk about. I heard a response from papoose. papoose?!. I thought he died in the streets. these rich head executives are killing off hip hop from the masses. they give you just enough. telling everyone it is good and everyone believes it. we live in the mixtape days. everyone is saying a rapper now is great and these fools have not put out one classic rap album yet. ( I'm looking at you Andre 3000. please for the love of god put out at a rap album. i beg you)

its these wack ass shitty beats that make me not even listen to the new spittas. its all fake bass and sounds like the beats were made doin shrooms on a spaceship or some shitits hard to listen, the producers are killin hip hop IMO (ok killing is a strong word, and not true at all, bbut its less enjoyable for me personally)thats why i like KRIT he makes his own beats and he flows to them, not some producer shoppin some beat that a nigga just raps over. and them shits knock...no electronic spaceship crap.ive noticed also that if you play "good" hip hop at college bars and shit full of white kids, they do enjoy it and they want more. unfortunately thats not whats pushed to them[Edited on August 17, 2013 at 1:18 PM.
