Nah, I've been studying this too much lately. Literally.

You can listen to his lyrics and hear specific things he mentions that no one else could write.

The stuff like Hiotline Bling and some og the QM stuff, you can tell he probably didn't write those.

As someone who enjoys Drake music I get why he switched up but that SFG-Take care version. And everything in between will always give me nostalgia.

Them memes was just too much for him :mjcry:

Switching up also made his career longer

This is such a disingenuous take.

Does Drake make pop songs? Yes. But for every Hotline Bling and In My Feelings he has plenty of traditional rap songs. It’s 2024 not 1993. If that’s the case any rapper post 2008 is a pop artist. Rap is popular music now so expecting artist to move the same way they did 30 years ago is ridiculous. You either adapt or find yourself coming across as an out of touch hater.
Notice they were talking about Hip-Hip and your talking about “rap”. The fact that you dont understand the dichotomy explains why his point went over your head.
