The problem is if you don't do music with Drake, people will call you a hater or say you're trying to gatekeep (which IMO is necessary in hip hop but that's just me) and you saw it was Common and Hov and other legends when he hit the scene.
Nah. Drake is him regardless. lol.

Madlib is working all of the time.
Making moves no different than these much smaller artists
Literally recruiting people to work as session musicians among other things.
I don't think I made your point at all, he is a business man through and through.
Again, the fantasy that's being presented vs. the actual reality of this music shyt is not what y'all think.
This is a dumb take. Who doesn’t collaborate with the hottest artist?

IYRT skyrocketed Drake (along with Meek beef, WATTBA etc).
If Drake went straight from Nwts to Views he would not be where he is today. Especially given the streaming era.
Formerly Black Trash
Philosopher, Connoisseur, Future Legend
If all the rappers did it, it would have gone a different way
But that's a fantasy world because Logic exists
Like I said metro, Kendrick, meek, future, Pusha T.. All them nikkas dissing Drake but they need him
You nikkas just making shyt up now
You sure are
How do any of these people need Drake?Apart from meek...he could probably do with a feature right now

Did Hov start modeling his whole style after whoever he worked with or whatever sound was popping at the time?
Did Hov or Nas or DMX do this?
That's the difference between Drake and other artists.
I don’t see a point to discuss the past lol
It can’t be changed.
I think the Meek beef made him larger than life though.

If you don't have to choose between eating dinner and paying phone bills or potentially "selling out".
Then you absolutely do not understand the stakes.
There's a time where you gotta give the people what they want before you can do, what you want.
And trust me, you can and will experience some fugazi, bytch ass-ness in this music shyt.
Only reason I'm whatever about the hoe-ish behavior is because I have a good career.
So the lame shyt doesn't hurt me in the way a warehouse worker or fast food worker or music degree
holder who tutors fukking ten year olds does.
That's going off topic but I will never fault Kendrick Lamar or J. Cole for being both artistically AND commercially adept.

Agree, 2015 quintin and future gave that boy a lot of credibility amongst the streets which wasn’t fukking with TML/TC/NWTS Drake. He finally broke the last wall. He still would’ve been putting up pop star numbers but still not relevant with a large segment of rap listeners
Wattba was after Back2Back which was the biggest thing for months post July 15. Let's not revise history.
