Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[DripNick]

But when I hear rappers these days I just hear sons of Drake

Name one * addict4sneakers voice*

 

[6pac]

Wow lol

**** be hidden in plain sight

 

[WASHED KING]

Shirts unbuttoning

Me personally EYE wouldn't allow another man to talk to me like that.

Especially not over BBL Drizzy

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Its gonna be completely forgotten by Christmas, tbh.

Is there really gonna be a Drake show in Oakland? If so, when. I need to see something

 

[DripNick]

Come colonize us Drizzy

is INSANE

 

[6pac]

He opened the portal

Drake should have known better:

Was it consensus he took an L in this? Stay Schemin was hard.

 

[WASHED KING]

is INSANE

Inviting Drake to come pillage is a choice.

Unless he has a fresh crop of young girls to offer Drake he ain coming.

 

[tr1ll]

If Drake wants some regional clout he needs to just come back down here to the H. The ATL connection is lame anyway. We got the real culture, and the baddies.

He’ll be aight. Fanbase too big, and he been on top too long. Only if the rabbit hole is truly as deep as it’s been made out to be will he fall.

Man…if what i’ve seen in that Reddit thread is true. Seems like whenever “THEY” decide his value isn’t worth the trouble anymore…they’ll push that button.

The disdain for the boy here is crazy lol. But imo Drake has been top dog (no pun intended) since 09. I heard So Far Gone and been locked in ever since. Kanye was my favorite rapper before then. Graduation was the soundtrack to my 7th grade year. But when I hear rappers these days I just hear sons of Drake. His influence is undeniable in this generation

his influence rap wise was big in the mid 2010’s but the only people who stuck around were tory and jack harlow nobody really tries to rap like him anymore and the toronto type **** outdated

Was it consensus he took an L in this?

Common then Push then Kendrick...

Three generations of Ls.

Fam is the definition of failing upwards.

 

[daruma]

my question is.. did dot know drake was going to shoot a video there? or did dot force drake to shoot a video there after euphoria?

 

[DripNick]

This bull**** wouldn’t have remotely worked before Drake

Yes it’s hard to have an influence or copy cats when you don’t have a style…Drake been the one hopping on waves and trying to be like other folks the past couple years

 

[ill steelo]

Will he be able to bounce back from this? He’s the laughing stock of the entire internet

Just like with Push, there’s not enough overlap in the music for this to hurt his sales.

Drake wants to be taken seriously as a rapper but he’s never rapped start to finish on any project. He doesn’t want to do that, his fans don’t want him to do that

Some rnb here, afrobeats there, mob talk here, emo raps over there, strip club songs somewhere.

So maybe even less raps going forward but that’s it. Next project is still going “platinum”

No clue. I read somewhere that it's where Drake was robbed years ago.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

The number #1 song in the world is calling this man a certified pedophile by name. I don’t think this is just gonna blow over soon

To be fair all the 09, 2010 guys are all washed though. Obviously Drake dont got the same pull as he used to even with me, but the fact he had a run this long is impressive. Given the peers he came in the game with. Most of those guys got washed out once the 2016 soundcloud wave came in. He's the rap games lebron. Outstanding commercial longevity and the most polarizing figure in the game. You either love him or hate him.

[WASHED KING]

That longevity has came with trade offs and it's clear he has burned many bridges to get that sustained success.

 

[tay1]

This will hurt Drake but isn't going to be what brings him down. What's going to end him is his inability to grow musically if he doesn't change. He's eventually going to be looked at as the old guy trying to look/sound young.

 

[a blinkin]

I believe that Budden clip will prove to be more true than we currently realize. Too many individuals have distanced themselves from dude seemingly all at once. That’s undoubtedly going to impact the music that he puts out, and the reception it gets once he does.

 

[JMB10215]

He's definitely has worn out his welcome. Idk man, the similarities to Lebron are striking. I feel like the general consensus are tired of both of them in their respective fields. Take me back to 2013 when they were both on top smh. But Drake is even more trouble because this is not sports obviously. Streams may start to dwindle a little bit
