How much a much a dolla, hell that whole TPAB sounds like some shyt pharacyde would put in 1993. West coast with a contemporary jazz sound. Drake came out the gate with houstonlantavegas shyt. You couldn’t tell where he’s from on any given album. Memphis, UK, Atlanta?

And I also wanted to add that the Los Angeles sound is a lot more than G-Funk.

:manny:
Dot has always had a west coast sound. Even the Jazzy songs harken back to 60’s and 70’s LA.

I’m sorry that Drake’s “sound” is no different than Iggy Azalea. Toronto has always been more than 40’s YouTube tutorial video beats.

Ebro is kinda right. The cynics and the Drake stans wanna dismiss it as some pro-black hotep nonsense. But when you look at it from a musical and heritage stadnpoint, its true. Drake can flow his ass off(pause) over a Trap beat or a Drill beat or maybe even a Westcoast beat. But we all know, he's from Toronto. So it's not gonna seem authentic, even if he technically did it right. Kendrick flowing on a Westcoast beat, off rip tapped into everyone's nostalgia receptors, and we saw it as a throwback regional anthem. Which in term, had ripples outside of just CA as we tapped into that CA nostalgia as well, without actually being from CA. You saw the predominantly/exclusively eastcoast Budden podcast doing them westcoast dances to They Not Like Us. It's like if A$AP hopped on a classic NY beat to throw shots. Or when Pastor Troy made No Play In GA, or when Lil Keke made Southside, or when Jeru made The East Is In The House. Drake doesn't have that "root" to tap into that makes the ppl say "Aw shyt!! He went back to Toronto with that shyt!!!!!":gladbron:

This isn't even a new critique of Drake. Ppl just gave up talking about it, because he kept making hits. :dead:
