The way Drake snaked D.R.A.M with Hotline Bling is damn near high way robbery (UPDATE: DRAKE ADMITS)

:ohhh: dag he did steal that bt at the same time new dake heat :mjcry:

They hit dude up and told him to take his video down and not to talk about OVO in interviews.

Now he gotta call himself "the origonal sweeterman" so people will know that's his song on the radio :laugh:

Cease and desist :wow:

Wayne didnt fall off.

He is still very mainstream and in demand
But from what his demand was...I think Wayne if being truly honest would say he fell off at least a lil bit...2008 09 10 and 11 Wayne was Galactic Status...now he's earth's ozone layer status. He'd admitt it:ehh:

I am emotional...I'm happy, I'm having a great Saturday morning(great breakfast) and CFB is back...but that's where my current emotions end:ehh:

You don't think Drake is falling off cool...but if you asked drake himself does he feel the same love as he did say around 2011 2012...he'd definately tell you "THINGS ARENT THE SAME"(no pun intended:lolbron:)...I'm not saying he doesn't still have a huge fanbase still...that is nauseatingly obvious:sadcam:...but he has to be EXTRA careful what he puts out to the public now. It's kinda like boxing, you don't beat your opponent by a single knockout punch...instead you make him feel uncomfortable in his strategy and watch him make mistake after mistake...which is what is happening. Cuz nobody believes that SPRITE LYRICIST MT. RUSHMORE bullshyt campaign they were trying to include him in.

So if the question is do I know something you all don't the answer would be yes...HIP HOP:comeon:

What does any of that shyt have to do with making hot songs or music sales?

Because those are how we measure falling off

Like Eminem still sell out but hes trash now...so he fell off

Drake is making good music and selling

And let me amend the Wayne thing... He's not as hot as he's used to...but I feel like he acknowledges it and fell back...the same way Ice Cube does movies now.. Its not a fall off if you change lanes

And he does stuff like that loozyanafest..and I bet if he does a new album it does number s

You know who else had hot songs and crazy sales...I'll list a few

MC HAMMER
VANILLA ICE
TONE LOC
YOUNG MC
CHINGY
ETC ETC...this list can go on and on I just can't think of all the names in the lost and found bin

I'm not saying Drake is as whack as some of those mentioned (tho some would say he is simply cuz of lying)...but his vitality is SURELY connected to the clingyness(if that's a word) of the fan base.

If Drake remixed twinkle twinkle little star...his fans would deny their fukkin childhood...insist he came up with the concept and deem him a genius for being able to connect with children so "personally and intimately" ...Drake keeps fans because you all together(drake/fans) support your inclusion into hip hop...you guys certify him as an MC and he verifies you all as Hip Hop heads...it's a very needy relationship you all have together. Cuz the way hip hop really works is you could be the hottest shyt out, but if ya card gets pulled its on to the next one...ask jigga after ether came out how much his popularity meant...he'd say squat, cuz hip hop reigns, not hip hop artists:yeshrug:

Man...fukk all that shyt. You people keep moving goal posts.

Real hip hop has nothing to do with sales. Youbtalking fans relationships and all this bullshyt...we are talking falling off.

I even said Drake can fall off. But show me the evidence. You can't. Because right now he isn't.

If your determination is sales...I'd be silly to say that is proof of a fall off...he definately currently sells...but the key word is CURRENTLY. His team can't look at current sales and say oh we're good...they have to forecast about 8 months out to really make that determination, so that includes his confrontations, endorsement appearances (whether magazine or TV), song quality, but most importantly public opinion and sentiment...and I'd def. say public opinion is not the same:francis:

Will he be gone tomorrow...HELL NO, but has the armor been chinked... I think that's obvious.

You're literally spouting gibberish.

"He's selling now but may not be always."

That's everyone. Being careful of what you says is good PR training...not falling off.

Gibberish, yea ok...so u just ignore the whole public opinion part of this...ok, u probably didn't even read ALL of what I wrote...and it's not about him watching what he says...it's watching what he does...and what he's doing is fukking up...but I'll let you have it
