you wrote all this just to d***ride drake at the end. you are re tarded

This thread sucks

Of course, everything plays a role, but people like me also exist

Im influenced by my environment, but Im not a sheep or slave to the system

I can make my own decisions, and I have a pretty good moral compass. And I know Im not the ONLY person like this in America, let alone the Earth.. so idk that gives me hope. But how do we make more people with this mentality

Nah bruh Im just objective.. Drake's voice is the reason he has been able to sustain this longevity

He is able to seamlessly steal any artists flow or sound and make it sound natural

Its his god given secret weapon, its just what it is

Prince wouldn't think so

MJ is the king of pop and even he hopped on trends (new jack swing & 2000s rnb on invincible)

It happens

kin d of ironic too considering how f***in bored & played out this take is

being the smoke monster is kind of a funny gimmick tho so w/e op is ok in my book . god knows i have some bricked threads maybe the next one cracks head tops 👍

this is not cringe my good sir.

this is @bMass28 being sweet

Cmon bruh, you really think Michael f***ing Jackson "hopped" on the 2000s RnB wave?

Mfer is one of the pioneers of popular RnB

or Sublime trying to do a grunge song like Pearl Jam..

sublime is probably one of the worst examples you couldve used lol they would literally try any style

they were doing NWA covers lmao

Am I missing something?

You're acting like Jay-Z wasn't out here doing Linkin Park collabs, Lil Wayne didn't release an entire Punk-Rock album, Shaq & Kobe weren't trying to be rappers, and Nelly wasn't doing Country crossovers consistently.

Famous ppl always been a bit deluded by yes-men around them. But many instances you brought up are just normal exploration of different styles... it's not even that big of a deal.

I remember someone pointed out how artists truly have it the worst of entertainers, because they have to stick to 1 image or they’re “sell outs” or not being “authentic”.

You can see Will Smith do roles in a comedy movie, then an action movie, then a horror movie, and then a sci-fi movie and nobody gives a s***.

If a rapper does a slightly new style or taps into a new sound then they are trying to stay relevant or riding waves lmao.

Society has this weird idea that an artist can only have 1 identity and a non-evolving set of traits. Where as all other entertainers and in general, the human population are allowed to go through phases and develop over time. Future is gonna be 65 years old still rapping about gang activity in the trap to appeal to his fans.

welcome to reality my brother, people will put aside integrity for money & wonder why they don’t have real bonds with people

Did you just include trippie in with Yb and dababy in trend hopping when he's the one who made sage popular in the first place?

Biggie got on a West Coast beat for Goin Back to Cali, and Jay Z made a southern song with Big Pimpin’

Nas was on multiple g funk beats on his 2nd album lol

thanks <3

brother change ur avvy

astagfirullah

op are u employed

I think it’s cool Trippie tries to do rage

This is the goal of everything in life

how old is you

I get what op is talking about but i dont think its a new issue tbh
