Exposed: D.R.A.M Is An Industry Plant

[Dark is the night]

Who?

 

[Kenny West]

It's amazing to me how some people still claim Hotline Bling doesn't sound like Cha Cha yet as soon as that dyke dropped OOOUUU all kinds of nikkas got at her for copying Hot nikka

young ma used the same flow as bobby did on hot nikka

Drake had a different flow, different lyrics, different beat, different sample...what in the hell did he steal?

Crazy how rappers trying to copyright "vibes" now, most of them don't even contribute creating to the actual music part of the song

 

[Run Up]

I don't understand these fakkits who are signed to labels pretending they aren't. Who the fukk says "Yeah, I'm going to buy this album I otherwise wouldn't because this person is Indy and doing it the hard way"

Both Drake and MA changed up the lyrics and sample, but ripped off the beat. I'll concede that Drake, unlike MA, also had the sense to use a different flow than DRAM did. But if you can't hear how similar Hotline Bling is to Cha Cha beat-wise then you need your ears cleaned

Drake basically did to Cha Cha what Robin Thicke and Pharrell did to Got To Give It Up. Changed up everything except the underlying beat/groove. Only difference was, Drake's new sample with the light synths sounded completely different from the Super Mario World sample, which is why the songs don't sound all that similar upon first listen. Pharrell on the other hand fukked up and decided to change Got To Give It Up's sample to something that still ended up sounding similar to the original song anyway (even though it was different melody).....and that's what eventually got him and Robin caught up

what's even more amazing is drake came out and basically admitted it and his fans still don't want to believe it

But why lie? What’s wrong with partnering up along side Atlantic records? Would that prevent touring on Chance The Rapper’s tour? And where is Kaine Solo? Maybe Zola can write D.R.A.M’s explanation because he’s sure going to need one.

Because the music is extraordinarily disposable and would never survive without cosign/image. He's yet another artist in a sea of millions who beg for cosigns and can't get his music poppin on its own merit.

New "hip hop fans" have shown consistently that they want generic pop shyt with accolades/cosigns

Been trying to figure this out since that struggle-news debuted

The "Drake copied my single so I must have that new hot shyt" angle was so damn forced.

gotta force that authenticity when the music aint

“You know, like in Jamaica, you’ll have a riddim and it’s like, everyone has to do a song on that,” Drake told Fader when asked about the songs. “Imagine that in rap, or imagine that in R&B. Imagine if we got one beat and every single person—me, this guy, this guy, all these guys—had to do a song on that one beat. So sometimes I’ll pick a beat that’s a bit, like, sunnier, I guess is the word you used, than usual, and I just try my hand at it. And that’s kind of what ‘Hotline Bling’ was. And I loved it. It’s cool. I’ve been excited by that sort of creative process."


drake in plain english talking bout some... b-b-b-b-b-but what if we all rapped on the same beat... as if he needed to go all the way to jamaica to explain freestyling off other nikkas beats... he basically admitted he took the vibe from that shyt and just created his own thing with it, then he magically got on the jamaica tip right after


so nah he didn't jack the shyt... but he damn sure made a hollywood b version of song... where you taking the movie's entire plot and just switching up the names and actors and calling it Germinator 2

drake didn't make the beat... so you mean to tell me drake listened to cha cha then scoured the internet to find a beat with a similar "groove" and released the song in time to strategically steal "vibes" from Dram?

Am I getting that correctly? There aren't enough vibes to go around? Cha Cha would be a hit if not for hotline bling sounding vaguely similar?

The booth


I wonder when it became illegal for rap artists to make similar sounding music tho. Last time I checked half the new rappers in 2016 using the migos flow, certain soul samples have been beaten to death over the years etc

If you need more proof of just how fukked up things are, D.R.A.M.’s new project Gahdamn originally appeared on iTunes with Atlantic listed as a label and shortly after was changed to publicly display as “W.A.V.E. Ent”. “Cha Cha” was serviced to radio via Atlantic Records too, yet all digital outlets list #1EpicCheck LLC and any mentions of Atlantic have been redacted.

DRAM from the 757, so, it's love.

But, this is the new hustle

 

[NickBlanco]

This isn't true. I seen this man come up from the beginning.

 

[GreenGhxst]

I know some of yall saying this man doesn't belong where he's at, listen to him singing, he's a hit machine

 

[MIKE SPLEAN]

Dram got the hits tho

 

[King Sun]

I like dram

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

When did being an industry plant become so prevalent in Hip Hop?

 

[fukkyalifestyle]

did you not see how he was on itunes under atlantic records? what more proof you need.
