Why have Lil Wayne and Birdman avoided criticism about bringing Drake to the culture?

[Playaz Eyez]

ymcmb are the most hated collective in hip hop lol

It’s cause they were a collection of some of the weakest artists ever that were very popular and had a movement. That’s almost unheard of. Imagine the NWO somehow reaching the heights they did, but with Buff Bagwell, Jeff Jarrett, and Konnan leading the charge instead of Hall, Nash, and Hogan

they are not at fault for his flaws

tune & bird were encouraging him to stay in the pop lane

told him keep it clean no tatts no stereotypical rapper shyte but he was thirsty for that image & tripped himself up chasing it

*"Keep it Canadian"

*Aubrey went rouge after Nothing Was The Same

*After that album nothing was the same

Why would you get shyt for making millions off a mark? That's literally all hip hop has done to him. These nikkas see him as p*ssy that ain't too dry for the customers

But a lot of the "get the bag by any means" paradigm led to the extreme watered down music and trends. The "stop hating, I'm getting money" backfired something serious, and it was 15 fukking years of Drake domination thanks to Weezy and Birdman introducing this vulture to Hip Hop.

If you want to be correct from a chronological perspective....Trey Songz was his first big co-sign.....was looking like a secret shopper in the wonder woman video.

 

[just my thoughts]

Why did the fans accept Drake into the culture is the only real question

 

[Chip Skylark]

Why should they get criticized? The culture?

Chill

He came out the gate in a more Kanye lane of just dropping really good albums. Was pretty uncontroversial and was just seen as a nice guy. No reason not to accept him although a lot of older rap fans hated his soft image.

So if you believe everything to be true what you wrote there should be no criticism

Y’all gotta stop Drake was performing on the chitterling circuit in Mississippi, Memphis, and Texas before he blew up lol and normally visits Memphis and Mississippi

He worked for it. So far gone was a real wave. Good music is good music. Fans accepted that.

It was business, signing Drake was a smart move

Yep

It’s not like dude magically come up from nowhere

Signing to Wayne helped for sure but it was not overnight

 

[Standing on business]

Its actually amazing that Birdman doesn't seem to get public criticism about anything
