Yasiin Bey(Mos Def) says Drake's music is pop and is compatible with shopping at Target.

My problem with Mos doing this is that if Drake responds, he knows damn well he's gonna go for at least 10 minutes straight.

Ask Lupe.

Lol. I def didn't have Drake vs Mos Def on my 2024 beef predictions

 

[CrimsonTider]

Any dude saying Drake raps better than Mos Def definitely exposed themselves.

Drake raps better

I’m an Mos Def fan and consider Black on Both Sides a classic but this is clear hate. Ol’ ‘if it ain’t lyrical miracle spiritual individual’ it ain’t hip hop nikka.

If IYRTITL ain’t hip hop then I don’t know what is.

Flo Rida. He's poppy AF. Pitbull. If the 3 of them were to tour together it would def be on brand. Idk man, where do we draw the line?
None of this is new. I remember when I was a young bul, there was Jeru, De La, Black Star, Tribe Common , Lauryn who used to verbally admonish their more commercially appealing contemporaries or to call out bullshyt. The culture has shifted so far, that you can't even call out the obvious anymore. No wonder coochie rap is a genre now. Lol.

If Drake toured with Wayne, Future and 21 Savage wouldnt that be on brand? Or are they pop artist too? Would it be outlandish if he toured with J Cole? I dunno, to say he's not hip hop is a bit far. Especially when he has a series of songs that are straight bars. I dont believe Flo rida and Pitbull have tracks like that.

Didn't say he wasn't hip-hop. That would've been a dumb thing to say. If you look at the Drake venn diagram, there is some Pop in there. That's my point. Not saying whether that's good or bad, it just is. I'm not attacking the breh.

Anyway, y'all think we gon get some bars outta this?

You clearly ain't a Mos fan if you think he is a lyrical miracle spiritual type rapper. He ain't talking about lyrical ability at all. He is talking about substance.

 

[OmegaK2099]

But you still a fakkit

nikka its a fact that you kufi rocking bean eaters hate women

Mos should listen to umi says a couple times. cause he coming off as a hyprocrit.

Pitbull was doing the chitlin circuit free styling n battling before he went pop

He sold out but he more hip hop than Drake, not MUSICALLY, culture wise, if you know you know

Dude puts whole albums of bubble gum music, that's how Mos feels, put a poll up, a lot of us will agree, he's the PRODUCT GOAT CAUSE SOME PEOPLE CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE ANYMORE...

Everything Drake got, he got from a country he don't even come from, including the slang

Bruh thought nikka had an hard er

There's video evidence

Dude is not hip hop

He is a product

 

[Firefly]

Man has a team of writers and does heavy r and b music.

Bobby Brown rapped at times and had them written for him, is he HipHop as well?

 

[BK The Great]

Nah this is why the fukk is he saying it that way?

You gotta be a dumb muthafukka to listen to Umi Says and think that is in any way hypocritical. I saw Drake post that dumb shyt and now his followers running with it.

Yes Drake is shining his light for the world to see, but his light happens to be pop. That doesn't change anything Mos said at all.

Umi Says is not a pop record
