But he’s not tho. The love below is one half of a diamond double album. And it came out in 03.
You guys are ignorant to rap history. Period

Top selling. Sales =/= quality. Illmatic took 8 years to go plat.

Again you’re just flaunting that ignorance

Drake is nearly single-handling the hip-hop dominance on the charts. Hes the heart of hip hop as Lil Wayne was in 2006-2009

So here lies the crux of this discussion — Drake represents a crossroads of how rap will be remembered in history. On one hand, it’s great for rap fans that the genre has exploded — we’re getting more and more of the music we love

Drake is the modern rap superstar. His songs have been streamed billions of times, millions of people follow him on social media and he’s a fashion icon. Musically, he is unafraid to switch up his style, with plainly emotional lyrics defining his output, both rapped and sung and a sound that is always setting the vogue – his obsession with UK grime and how he’s incorporated this into the US sound is a fine example. He’s only going to get bigger as time goes on.

Drake’s biggest success has been to manoeuvre two musical identities so that they sit in equilibrium, and then blend them into one. He is sold as both an R&B loverman and a hip-hop thug, and much like a painter adding detail after detail to his own self-portrait, Drake constantly perfects this image.

I hardly spin drake and he's never in my rotation tbh

Take Care along with Nothing Was The Same and arguably More Life, So Far Gone and If You're Reading This Its Too Late are classics.

Again you’re bringing up charts and sales when I’ve already countered this point.
Idgaf about some think pieces that aren’t true.

Drake is a groomer.

I'm bringing talking points carefully discussed by journalists that proves Drake's influence and star power, deal with it.

Just because a “journalist” writes something doesn’t make it true. How stupid are you?

I’ve already provided you albums, artists, and the year they dropped to prove my point. You’re wrong. No debating

At this point you’re either too dumb to understand or you’re arguing just to argue

he just needs to release s*** that isn’t just a cash grab like care package. no ones heard the drake we WANT recently, only the drake we’ve heard before and are getting tired of

I just realized this...

So Thug is the "mob boss" Drake wants to be so bad huh? Lmao

Either that, or Thug ghostwrote for him

Like someone else mentioned here already brand new leaked in 2007 drake was doing his r&b thing way before 808s lol. You guys should also read the article y’all opinions looking real stupid.

I swear you people say he’s finished every week and he never is

Imagine defending Drizzy Drake Aubz Wheelchair Erection Deadbeat Gay Father Graham Cracker Lookin Ass in the good year of our lord soon to be 2020. This tweet was ghostwritten by Pardison Miller. The ghosts in the industry

Man on the moon didn’t sound like 808s

Kanye lost his mom you prick

OK boomer!

You really think that is the same as songs like doing it wrong, Marvin's room or even own it? I'm not ignorant of rap history I grew up on that as a kid in NC. The feeling you get from anyone who used Melody and Harmony in rap before was entirely different from when Drake was deemed "emo" and "soft". When now you see who is really emo

Getting booed by loser tyler frank ocean fans = finished

So your response is:
Cudder did not write on/produce on/ have a profound impact on the sound on 808's

His relationship w/ Amber Rose did not have an impact on the album.

Thank you. Just block me.

Cudi wrote on robocop and paranoid, that’s it. He didn’t produce a SINGLE song.

Kanye produced every song, with plain pat and Jeff bhasker doing co-production on some songs

808s wasn’t about amber, it was about his fiancé Alexis phipher leaving him and losing his mother

He met amber after 808s you dumbass and they dated until 2010... how the f*** could the album be about their breakup. you just Ethered yourself. Is this site filled with 15 year olds? You seriously don’t know basic facts

Songs on MBDTF were about amber

I’m a Drake fan. However, im not gonna sit here and pretend like I don’t see more people calling drake’s music “corny” now than ever before

Welcome to Heartbreak, Heartless? And those are the ones he got credited on.
Ok you're right it was about a different woman. Not just his mom dying, my bad.

lol
