Drake 'in my feelings' hits #1 on billboard 100 [ official song of the summer]

[KneeGrow.]

Drake is only a Pop act depending on which narrative is convenient. When he's successful, he's a Pop artist. When he's called out or dissed by other rappers, he's supposed to be an MC expected to reply. Nobody cared to hear responses from so called "Pop" stars when Eminem made a career out of dissing them or when Kanye dissed Taylor Swift. The Booth funny.

This is horseshyt.

Drake postures and poses as an MC. He shyt talks like an MC. He engages in beefs like an MC would. He speaks the classic MC language. When he's practicing as an MC and then gets called out on his bonafides as an MC (writing, not responding), it's fair.

The issue, as it is with most acts, is his fans and their cognitive dissonance about what Drake is as it relates to conventional understandings in hip hop. He's a popular act, and that's ok. It as if his fans see it as an affront to acknowledge that. They seem insecure in the idea that they closely resemble Swifty's or the Bey-hive. It's fine. There will always be a significant segment of the hip hop element that doesn't appreciate him in that way.

Drake has trancsendent from the idea of being respectable in hardcore hip hop circles. It's time for his fans to do the same.

are u basing that off the post? or prior history?

This post and prior history.

Ain’t no black person lame enough to create a profile that does absolutely nothing but spam the site with anti-Drake posts and threads.

I would agree if it were just rabid stans trying to play both sides of the fence, but it's peoplewho claim Drake ain't Hip Hop who want to use the MC card as well. Regardless of Drake's posturing and how the stans perceive anyone who wrote Drake off as a Pop act and is still talking about where's his response is just as guilty as the stans who want to prop as a Pop star and an MC when its convenient.

Drake is done! Finished! Pusha bodied his career! There’s no coming back from this! Scorpion a flop!

 

[50CentStan]

y'all need to stop calling him a rapper. pink a rapper too I guess then.

 

[MaxBundles]

Coli was right. havent heard this new song at all, but ill assume it is weak sauce.

Nice for what i heard once and the beat was ok.

Dorke needs to focus on his kid and stop trying so hard.

 

[Brian O'Conner]

This is what happens when you give jews control of the industry and social media. They take care of their own and those numbers likely came out of thin air like their usury trade ponzi scheme.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Pusha T who is signed to adidas fukked over his clothing deal company by tanking their upcoming line with the biggest artist out . fukk up your own bags to get at your enemies brehs

Nicca has access to hip hop legendary producers, features from all the greats, the greats calling him for features, BODIED respected rappers in battles, the most impactful feature verses, the most quoted rapper out, has received praise from him hip hop legends.

Fukk all this hip hop circle talk. When the music drop the energy is undeniable. Who's drop causes more discussion and debate in "Hip Hop circles", who engaging all the smoke

You can't categorise Drake because nobody has dominated so many demographics and lanes as dude.

"Mike never tried to rap like Pac, Pac never tried to sing like Mike"
Those my dad's words to me when I asked him how to make it in life
And I always said my mother gave the greatest advice, yeah

[The Coli fades out]

On repeat though

 

[Harry B]

Drake knows how to make big mediocre pop hits just like that other dude Post Malone.

It might be a skill or not, but it really doesn't affect anyone if you don't want it to anymore cause we don't watch MTV and we do not listen to radio.

The Coli just loves to dikkride whatever is viral, popular and commercial.

But those things you mentioned seems more indicative of the business and politics of Hip Hop and not as much of the art of Hip Hop. None of what was mentioned is indistinguishable from Beyonce (sans the beef stuff). Which is fine, but we wouldn't call it hip hop. Which is also fine.

My issue mainly lies with the spinning of the narrative by his fans, as it relates to the beef result and ghost writing stuff. They start twisting like Belibers.

 

[mobbinfms]

No he's not. People generally view Drake as a rapper. And hybrids are still generally viewed as rappers

How is he not a hybrid artist?

Yeah to suit your argument whenever hip hop heads show Drake love it’s jist business... of course lol

Super Hip Hop purist white boy fans the worst. Niccas have been attacking Lupe Fiasco on twitter for saying he fukks with Drake as an MC and implying he’s harder than Kendrick. Group think bullshyt
