@Busby what is the actual issue here?



Do you think people who making narcissistic music are bad people, poor musicians, or negative influences? What is the point of statements like this?

Do you think only affirmation driven politically influenced music is qualified to be received well? Or do you think selfish songs that reflect anger and pain and frustration shouldn’t be promoted? What is your ACTUAL point?

??? 95% of rappers are rapping pure narcissism, lol
I’m asking people to really engage with why they want so much from Drake. It’s truly bewildering to me. They really have this claim to him where they will dictate what the terms of his existence will be on all levels. “Get married, settle down, be mature, rap more, etc…” I mean on the surface it sounds like hate, but it really sounds like extended fandom. I don’t get it.

I’m focusing on the thread title champ, not Drake. You may wanna change it to “Why do people have this problem with Drake” or sumn, 🤷🏽‍♂️

nah cause Curtis King and his fake ass cali accent is out here saying things like “why do you not love women more?” …like…bro…what? If you mean “pander” then say that, but to do this weird thing where they accuse Drake and others of being incels is…some flagrant shyt. Especially when Drake himself was mocking incels:

The older I get the more I don’t want to hear that narcissistic shyt all the time. I need knowledge or something thoughtful in my music. I ain’t a teenager.

I understand wanting an artist to age with you, but these projections of morality?


:manny: I just can’t listen to anything that won’t benefit my way of thinking. Artists need to grow and say something else in their music. Some of them are fathers, or they lost loved ones along the way to their “fame” or whatever they should speak on their struggles a bit more because not all of them do. How are fans gonna connect to their music? Fantasy raps get old quick.
