What kind of lame ass excuse is that? J Cole had virtually the same childhood and is far more conscious than Drake is.
J. Cole is boring as fukk compare to kendrick AND drake :mjlol:

Please enlighten me on this, not on some Jay Z throw in a stop and frisk name drop but show me where he legit speaks on a conscious topic rap song interview w/e
What is conscious? Speaking about social issues?
He speaks about stuff from his perspective, stuff he knows about. The reason most of these "socially conscious" rappers get shirttes on by smart people, reviewers etc is cause half of the time they don't know what the fukk they are talking about, only dumb smart and flat out dumb people appreciate it. Now if the flow, beat, creativity and shyt is correct people might still mess with it but usually those factors are sacrificed. If you can do it like Kendrick or Pac and talk about shyt you've witnessed and gone through :clap: or shyt you are very privately active in like Killer Mike :clap:

Drake is only on his 4th album, it took cats like Bob Dylan 8-9 albums to get into certain things, as long he keeps on developing the things he talks about.


Also, he's talked about the "black American dad story" on various tracks, one of the higher social issues in our communities. And people tend to forget that he's from Toronto, their country is 20 times better as far as social issues go.

I'm kinda disappointed. The tape has real nice production, it's really cohesive, lots of cadences and dope flows from Drake. I don't feel Drake snapped or even tried to snap on any track. There's nothing like 5AM in Toronto or Lord Knows in here, no lyrical introspective track like a The Resistance, The Calm or Too Much. This is just real ambient, some Toronto night sounding shyt. 6 God been out and Used To was just on Weezy's mixtape.

Jungle :blessed:

Know Yourself :blessed:

Madonna :blessed:

That Views From The 6 finna be crazy though :blessed:
