And this dude continues to call me a hater when this nigga made an entire career hating on drake on ktt2

All I said is nas doesnt have hits therefore I'm hating. Eminem wasnt played in the streets I'm hating too huh

Why are you talking about nas, em and drake in a biggie thread tho

Bro, they started doing this because people have been criticising the s*** out of them for only picking s*** that was hot within the mainstream. They get a few lesser known nominees in nowadays but if we talk about winners this competition has been a corporate s***-show for years. If we talk about winners especially. 24K won over Lorde, Kendrick and Jay-Z, not to mention Macklemore beating Kendrick. They basically go for hit s***. They now start to respond to criticism, yes. That's why Kacey won AOTY but that's an entirely new thing.

First page is a lot to unpack

Read the op nigga

My nigga theres been tons of rap albums before recently that were nominated and werent popular albums. You are revising history

Why you even bring into the convo tho op?

Why are you asking me why I made a biggie thread. Hes biggie f***in smalls nigga

Nvm I see ya avy carry on

"nominated", yes

That means nothing withing the internal logics of the Grammys these days. They only started doing this very recently, that's my point.

And rap wasn't that big to begin with before, so your point makes no sense.

What's wrong with hating Drake?

That’s my bad bro, you a real 1 for the biggie praise

I knew ud do some dockery in this thread I shoulda ignored you

Are you a Drake fan?

op a drake stan, we got this dude exposed

“Pre take care..”

Well, that’s a lie

Only thing holding Biggie back imo is lack of material (for obvious reasons)

yeah but you forgot to mention his rhyme schemes tbh

"Bout to set it set it off, Jada Pinkett"

2010 Drake loved using that Big Sean flow lol. Like I said he had great moments and made great music and had had great verses

same way Lebron before Miami was a great player.

But the same way Bron became nearly flawless after 2011 Finals, Drake became nearly flawless ever since Dreams Money Can Buy.

Jay is #1

So none of these exist? Also means you dismiss every rap verse on So Far Gone, Thank Me Later, and the tens of songs he made in that time frame

You’re objectively wrong lol

fam why are you being this dumb?

how am i ignoring everything during So Far Gone and TML Era when i LITERALLY said he had great moments, great verses, and made great music before Take Care. I just said he wasn't flawless as a rapper before Take Care Era.

i even compared pre-Take Care Drake to pre-Miami Lebron

Learn how to read fam

Your original post said “he was not a great rapper pre-take care”

You’re saying he didn’t sustain great rapping verses pre-Take Care?
Because he continuously dropped them and I can find a good verse in every 1 out of 2 songs he dropped before Take Care

"Took home Ready to Die, listened, studied s***
Now they on some money s***, successful out the blue "

Honestly the only two people I think can actually be in the conversation with perfect rapper along with big are mos def and Andre 3000. MAYBE Rakim
