breh I'm an unapologetic NAS Fan/stan..

A real fan ain't gonna have a problem with a marketing campaign for his favorite artist as long as they are making it available for him or her to consume

I don't usually buy retail rap albums....

But other than devin da dude NAS albums are my only purchases

Hell if i was told the only way for me to obtain the Nasir LP is to spend a whole weekend in Wyoming camping out in the wilderness with weirdo Kanye....

I might have to book that flight

Just joking breh

But real talk u taking this DRAKE HATE way too far ..it's like ur obsessed

Nikka, if your playlists ended up getting filled with some obscure rock band or Taylor Swift or Post Malone, I BET you’d have a problem.

Somone listening to gospel should NOT be subjected to listen to fukking Drake.

It’s a bad business practice on Spotify’s part PERIOD.

Y’all just making my exuses cause y’all fukk with dude on some hypocrisy shyt.

Why does this surprise anyone? This is what Drake's team always does. Obnoxiously forces a narrative. If you're a fan cool I guess, but it's just excessive imo

dumbazz of course i would be PISSED if it WAS AN ARTIST I WASNT FUKKING WITH...

who wouldn't


I WAS TALKIGN ABOUT IF IT WAS MY FAVORITE ARTIST "NAS" i wouldn't TRIP......

DA FUKK I CARE IF SOMEBODY GOT SOMETHING ON "THIER" PLAYLIST THAT DON'T AGREE WITH THEM

i don't SUBSCRIBE TO STREAMING SERVICES ANYWAY.......i get MUSIC I WANT WITHOUT THAT SHYT

besides im not a DRAKE FAN...i do like a few of his singles...

but i don't OWN any OF HIS MATERIAL... (never bought an lp, single)

hell nobody can OWN IT...tell ya the truth..when u subscribe to steaming service you are just LEASING the music...

i just highly respect the (his) BUSINESS MODEL...

i like some of shyt..i'll admit.....But i see what's going on here and ain't nothing i nor you can do about it...

this is UNIVERSAL/SPOTIFY pulling the strings here...

FUKK U GETTING MAD FOR ...WITH YOUR BROKE BITTER AZZ ALL IN YO FEELINGS CAUSE YOU FEEL YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF SOME ILLUMINATI LIKE CONSPIRACY SHYT

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Telling others they are mad while typing in all caps

This situation remind me of when some company bought like a million copies of Hov, but at least they was up front and open about the partnership.

nah i ain't got nothing against @hex...i always respected him as one of the best posters on this site barnone....and not only that @hex is one of the main reasons i am here on the Coli.....

he invited me to come over here after i gave up posting on messageboards and blogs following the fall of SOHH.com

so he good with me...one of the posters i can "debate" with on here without it turning negative nahmean



but back to the subject at hand..



im not following this tired azz narrative of .."HEY IF WE RID THE WORLD OF THE VILLIAN KNOWN AS DRAKE AUBREY" hip hop and humanity will be great again

just like you said..it's become "beyond obsessive" ..damn thier weirdo shyt

this daily campaign to irradicate Drake Aubrey Graham...i get it...

but look i feel and know as a Triple OG that shyt ain't never gonna happen...and besides WHAT BENIFIT IS IT??

i recall as a little kid the first official rap records...by cats like the sugarhill gang in late 1979...

im telling yall right now .....we always had "antichrists" of rap....first Hammer was viewed as one along with Vanilla Ice ....hell even LL COOL J was chastised for sacricing his talent to rap for the LADIES.....can't forget NELLY and SOULJAH BOY....

SO THIS AIN'T NOTHING NEW....and personally i don't find DRAKE as repulsive as the above mentioned cats with the exception of Hammer and LL Cool J whom i felt were both talented and contributed to hip hop in a progressive manner....

yes DRAKE does have some flaws..lord knows he got some serious ones...that one song .."For Free" is absolutely the worst song i have heard over the past two years..it repulses me...HE ACTUALLY GOES INTO FULL SIMP MODE and tells these byatches that thier puzzy is sooo good that he should be CHARGED A FEE for it...

but hey that's his marketing scheme...drake has been succesful at telling these hoes what they WANT TO HEAR....

but he also has alot of GOOD SONGS that i myself as an OG appreciates...

I was riding back from Florida yesterday and was entertained hearing the radio play one of his old tracks "NO LIE" with 2 chainz and the "Language"....

these songs were club bangers and rightfully so!!!


the boy's catalog is impressive...

everything and everybody has it's pros and cons.....and you best believe his "team" (label, management, pr firm) is gonna do it's best to exploit that...

that's the nature of the business.....i don't see what's so hard to understand about this so called "overpromotion" of him as a BRAND

and my question to all of you...


WAS IT OVERPROMOTION WHEN CLEAR CHANNEL had ALL THIER 40 PLUS URBAN STATIONS ACROSS THE NATION simotaneasly broadcast a streaming preview of JAY-Z's 4:44 album within the same week it was available as an App on all Sprint related phones?








i rest my case..........

fam.. i swear to God.. not even 2 days ago, i was just telling somebody how horrible that "For Free" song was..

other than that- Drake has a far more than impressive catalog.. thats without question..

the overall obsession people hae with this dude.. especially, the hate.. is one of the weirdest things ive ever seen.. but, its literally, just online..

could you imagine walking into your corner store, and somebody was rocking a shirt with that Blackface sh!t.. talking all wild, "then.. then.. Pusha-Thanos.. thats what we call him on thecoli.com.. anyways.. he said something about his baby.. then.. then.. he found this picture of Drake on my sh!rt..!! and, yall dont even know about the tents his ghostwriters sleep in.. its over for dude..!! he can never come back.."








the entire fukk..

when in reality.. its a holiday week for most people.. they riding around listening to dude new album, and not giving one single fukk about any of that sh!t..

with that said to @hex.. dude is a OG, and i respect his opinion.. as well as yours.. everybody aint gonna agree on everything, but i know we can agree we about to eat lovely the next few days..got the next 4 dyas off.. already prepped all my marinades & sauces.. finishing up everything tonight and tomorrow.. if yall near Winston-Salem, hit me up and come through and feast..

are you an idiot?? or you just portray one on the messageboard...

SPOTIFY made no secret of thier relationships with the 3 major labels (sony, universal, warner) all of whom owns shares within the company since it became an IPO

EVER SINCE MARCH of this year ...BILLBOARD magazine has posted an article every month addressing this conflicting matter..that the FCC has failed to address

Sony to Share Profits From Spotify Stock Sales With Indies: Will Universal & Warner Follow Suit?

i even made posts about it months ago...how much of a conflict in intrest it is, much like the HOV/SPRITE/SAMSUNG threesome.....

that YOU GUYS never byatched about.....yet Drake's "partnership" is the work of Lucifer

boy i tell ya....you JOB CORP alumni masquerading as 6 CERT 6 FIGURE cats need to stop

your lack of comprehension as well as logic is coming to light everyday

And where we disagree is that it’s NOT a good business practice on SPOTIFY’s part.

They keep pulling shyt like this and they WILL see a backlash.

 

[Hammer]

Spotify are suckers. isn't Drake signed to their rival Apple Music? lmao

all these streaming services are fukking retarded, they need to start signing artists

 

[CoCKy GeNiuS]

Its their shyt they can do whatever the fukk they want

Let's move along

 

[hustlemania]

I need to clarify....I been against this streaming shyt more or less since day 1. Yes I think Drake is a clown but I've said equally disparaging things about Spotify, Apple, etc. when Kendrick was breaking records, and I'm obviously a huge fan of Kendrick. I spoke out against Spotify "modifying" playlists based on artist content, and I don't even fukk with half the artists it affected.
If cats want to let this slide for Drake

ok cool whatever but let this be Post Malone or somebody The Coli deems an "outsider" and it would be a completely different story.

Fred.

i actually have Spotify, and heres something even crazier..

after i listened to the new Drake joint, i just let it play out.. it played at least 2/3 Pusha T tracks within the first 30minutes..

heres the thing.. i never listened to Pusha's album on Spotify, whatsoever..

 

[mastermind]

I logged onto spotify this weekend and was like "Scorpion is under Country music now?"

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Yeah on reddit they're starting a whole movement to get a free month by complaining.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

All this summer talk on here.. Y'all always so worried about what hoes are listening to. my girl listen to nothing but latin music so I need not concern myself with weedplates

 

[reserved_one]

I havent been on spotify for days because of the constant spamming of Drake. His face was literally plastered on every playlist...

After this month im cancelling my subscription. Spotify been on some lame shyt lately.

 

[Easy-E]

Spotify iz owned by the labels

And aint he stull signed by apple music?
