If people gotta throw Ye under the bus too. :manny:

I like his music but I never took him or his fan base too seriously. I don't mean that as a diss but dude goes on rants talking about "I'M GOD, I'M BILL GATES AND STEVE JOBS" and his fans :ohlawd: "talk that shyt Ye!" and nobody takes it too seriously. It's like a running gag in hip-hop.

I came here just to say wow this shyt is 59 pages. I watch the interview when it was one page and there was nothing new there. Same story we been hearing for years since atleast Timberland and Missy with Devante and I'm sure further than that.
You smell like shyt. :scust:

No way you're talking about our Flow Lord and Lyrical Savior Hova Da Gawd, cuz Kangay Zest reciting the GOAT's own lyrics while they create a song (Lucifer) that Jigga wrote & Ye produced is nowhere near the shyt Drizzy Vanilli is being accused of where there are multiple ref tracks featuring him being given bars & flows in addition to ppl he worked wit commenting on having given him quite a bit of material.

Everyone from rappers (Scarface, Ross, Lupe) to producers (45 King, Just Blaze, 9th Wonder, Timbo, Rick Rubin, Irv Gotti, Rick Rock, Pharrell), to pop artists (Missy Elliott, Bey) have vouched for the Gawd MC's creative process, plus there's little to no evidence that suggests he's received (or needed) even remotely the amt of help Ludapiss aka Bladder Juice Papi has.

And, yes, I've got receipts for every name I listed.

Yeah, because his fan base didn't compare him to actual rappers....they compared him to R&B and pop acts.

My statement was just referring to the stories in the video about the label not peoples opinion about it or there opinion about Drake in general, all of that sounded like things I have heard in the past about labels that sign all these artist that never really come out or push including major hiphop labels.

Sure is a lot of Drake stans here. I never understand how a grow man could be this hard up for another grow man. I mean, i get a female doing this, bytches fall in love with nikkas they have never met all day (OMG Chris breezy my baby daddy!!!:stopitslime:) But grown ass men going this hard to defend some dude they will never meet all because they cried to his music? :mjlol:




nikka takes a shopping cart and walks down the isle and puts music in his cart then goes home:heh:

Talk that shyt :damn:

Told y'all way back on the old site that drake was a manufactured figure. That was like 7 years back. Mad people have known this for a long, long time.

Welp, nothing left to see here folks.

This means it's gospel.

What's your relationship with OVO like?

It's cool, they put out my music and stuff and we just keep it moving. Let them tell you their relationship with Makonnen. I'm just an artist, being an artist, and there's only so much that I can do
.

Do you feel like you aren’t able to release music as freely as you’d like?

Nah. I’ve had “Second Chance” finished since January. That was supposed to be that summer banger this summer. That was supposed to be out, touching people and hitting them this summer. By the time next year they'll be ready for something else. It's all late. People are doubting me, doubting what the fukk I said when I made the fukking song. You wait a year later and it's whatever. Hopefully, it's worked right. The song is structured properly. Everything is all there for proper radio play to just spin it over and over to people. Who knows? I don't know what the fukk they want.

Do you feel like you’d want to be like Future or Young Thug, in their ability to put out a bunch of mixtapes at will?

I wish I could be like them and put out a bunch of mixtapes. I wish I could.

So why don't you just do it?

Because I have relationships to keep and I can't make people mad and that's not how certain people operate. I'm just being a respectable employee right now.

Are you happy right now?

A little bit, with myself I am. I wish I could make more money. I wish I could help more people out. I wish I could spend more time with people but shyt, I can't. I know what I have to do to get to the next place I want to be and I have to shut a lot of people off and get really busy with work.


Damn, Makonnen
