I remember getting clowned because I said I never heard Drakes music, this was back right after Take Care dropped. How the turntables
I was in the same boat I'd seen his name but it took me until like 2011 before I had ever heard a song of his. It was like that with a lot of rappers for me in that era. I was entering my early 30s and really getting into 70s soul at the time. So music pretty much passed me by for the entire 2010s and even now. Kendrick is literally the last rapper I became a fan of. Other than that I just stick to my era and old school stuff from the 70s and 80s.

I said it when it happened that Drake was now going to be looked at as uncool and weird and that's all it takes. Dude is stained and won't recover the same going forward.

People hated Ja Rule because they were TOLD to and to get a spot in G Unit. Even back then, it was crabs in a barrel shyt and brainwashing. Thank God Kanye sonned Curtis.
This is simply not true

Im from Queens, NY and I was like 12-14 when the G-Unit/Murda Inc beef took off

We all sided with 50 cuz wont no kids bumpin Ja Rule shyt around the time, he made music for BET n MTV n radio n that ''put iiiiiit on uuuu'' shyt was embarrasin'

Forced ass radio n tv shyt on the people n no house parties was bumpin that shyt either, we used to get our dance off with the girls to dance hall around that time

And yes, this is anectodal

But there isn't a white person in my family, and there are a ton of teens and elementary age kids.

It's wild to me (I'm not a Diddy supporter in any way) but I grew up on Bad Boy, Diddy as the face of our culture for like 30 years lol..

But these kids literally say "No Diddy" every 5 seconds, or if you are going somewhere sus its a "Diddy Party"...like there entire young existence and knowledge of this man is as some freaky weird old nikka - l'm talking kids young enough to not know why they don't like Diddy, they just don't :sadcam::takedat:

But worse off is Drake.

Because we may argue the Drake // Kendrick thing as adults, but kids don't really need any context - we all just followed what was cool and what was not.

And I heard kids saying Drake was weird etc, like they talk about him how my era used to talk about Ja Rule FOR REAL but WORSE.

And I'm a big Kendrick fan, but I know damn for sure these elementary and high school kids don't know a damn about GKMC or Mr Morale lol - when my lady asked this kid who was the best rapper and he said "Kendrick Lamar", thats 100% off of "Not Like Us" and the cultural stance - even I have to admit that.

But these two are cooked IMO because whatever you believe in your formative years is just who they are for your life growing up - like me (as an 80s baby) only knew of Elvis as someone who fat old white people impersonate and he talks goofy...I never could have a reverence for that guy.

I joked on the forum but now I actually do believe that Drake got Ja Rule'd, like for real, and I've never seen anything like it (Ja was not in the same stratosphere as Drake)...

:banderas:
u wasn't joking nikka

More proof that a lot of young dudes are SIMPS and listened to Drake because bytches love listening to a weak singing dude.
"... because bytches love it" when dudes started saying that to justify whack shyt blowing up is when rap completely fell off

I have a poll on my Hinge. ā€œOne gotta goā€:

- Kendrick
- Cole
- Drake

So far 4 or 5 of them picked Drake. 1 picked Kendrick. 0 picked Cole. I was shocked.

It's true.

People seek approval from a white person in Hip Hop, subconsciously, and followed what Eminem said. Looking back at it, only crabs and c00ns rate 50 over legit MCs.

That's why Jadakiss bodied him 2 years later and Kanye cooked him in September 2007.

Breh I appreciate ur response but im an occazional poster here, who reads what my spare time allows me to but never focuses on the posters, so I dont know the dynamics around here n who here is geniune and who here is gettin paid to post

Having said that, I do not know about that seekin white approval thru hip hop shyt u just mentioned either

I can only tell u that nobody I knew growing up in NY bought a Ja Rule CD even before the 50 beef

That nikka blew up outta nowhere with Def Jam behind him with ''holla holla'' n was full commercial since the beginnin'

Lookin back, Irv Gotti was a top producer at def jam during those years, he wanted his own label, put his mans on n def jam put the machine behind ja and murda inc as part of the deal wit Irv, He also got fundin thru the Team... so he was able to do his thing with murda inc

But to me, Ja Rule is as close as u can label someone an industry plan as possible, he in that lil zane lane.... Early 00's had a bunch a nikkaz with a budget on radio n tv that nobody had heard of before

By your logic, Nelly would be in the same lane.
