To go further

Crash Crew was the first to harmonize and sing on their albums and in live performances, then Force MC'S/MD' s took it to the next level not only they were emcees who battled the Great Mighty Cold Crush Brothers but they also could Sing, real Damn Good that record labels told them to become singers, then years later Bone Thugs, Nelly, Ja Rule

Drake didn't do shyt, Singing in Hip Hop been around since the beginning.

Tonight's Homework for these Drake fans is to study Cash Crew

Class now dismissed Young Grasshoppers

So drake took singing further than any rapper before him :dead:

How? By using studio vocals,not writing the lyrics and badly singing over reference tracks? :mjlol:


Put Cee lo and drake on the same stage and have them sing live :russ

Drake ain't even the first fukking Canadian rapper to mix singing and rapping you fukking clown.


K:OS is a better singer and rapper than drake by miles :umad:
:ufdup:

The commercial songs are the best songs on the album though...

BWA, Hard For and La Familia only songs I think weren't necessary but none of those records are terrible. Hard For was made for top 40 and the other 2 are meant to appeal to Luca Brasi fans. I guess Ask For More isn't needed but it kind of holds the sonic cohesion of the album together.

Told Me is typical depressed Gates getting at homies who've betrayed him
Aint Hard To Tell is a beautiful ode to Dreka
Love It is a great way to exit on a triumph not after an album full of cuts dealing with betrayal, heartbreak and depression

I understand why people like Luca Brasi 2, but to me Islah is definitely his best work so far.

I meant to list Ain't Too Hard, good catch :ehh:


I ain't big on Told Me or I Love It though :yeshrug:La Familia is definitely a carrot for fans of his mixtape run but I think it worked well enough. BWA and Hard For on the other hand were definitely unnecessary and Ask For More was uninspired all the way around.


I like LB2 more because he sounded hungrier and the production suited him a little better imo.

Since amazon hasn't provided me with a shipping date yet I stopped off at both target & Best Buy today looking to cop the CD. It wasn't at either store.


CDs really are over. Damn.

Am I crazy, or is LOVE just a big sarcastic shot at Drake?

Blatant Drake style song

So I'm reading that Kendrick Lamar changed the album release date to Sunday April 16th 2017. Is there any truth to this???

Sharking a sound and running it into the ground isn't "celebrating".

A half jew speaking Patois isn't a celebration, it's no different than Ed Sheeran using the same sound on that "Shape of You" garbage.
WTF are you talking about.
