May 9, 2024·2 repliesmanlikepablohas this guy never listened to Views or More Life? 😂 both unapologetically Toronto projects
he has a regional sound, its just not YOUR regional sound; the dude isnt even from your region 😂😂
and sure, he code switches and makes music to cater to US audiences (i'd easily argue more than 50% of his discography does this) but at the core his regional sound is Toronto influenced and he's displayed that numerous times throughout his discography
black people exist outside of the states too... what a tone deaf take
more life the album featuring 5 uk artists on 6 songs two of them dont even have drake on is a Toronto project ??

not talking about the ENITRE project
i'm saying he must not have heard the albums at all considering they all feature several tracks that are clearly Toronto influenced or Toronto inspired
obviously a song like KMT for example is completely UK and grime inspired

R&BSince you think Jungle is indicative of the Toronto sound why don’t you look into the sample on that
chopping up soul samples like his idol did doesn’t make it your sound.

Classiquejust say you don’t know toronto music
I said there is no equivalent.. Due to the history of rap in America what Canada is doing does not compare.

That underwater soul sample and reversed sample chops with the added pianos and synths is definitely 40 and drake sound. song even samples majid jordan as well

saucerhe’s right and wrong
i think Drake’s earlier albums where 40 was on like every track so have a distinct and unique sound that a lot of people from Toronto and elsewhere ran with. the dark, woozy, almost nostalgic underwater sound was and still is very distinctive - there are songs on Take Care and IYRTITL that nobody else could’ve made
not to parrot the kendrick talking points but I think around Views or so once Drake started working with more Atlanta/trap rappers that his overall sound got a lot more generic, this is also when 40 started taking more of a notable backseat and producing less. he always had Boi-1da in his back pocket for more mainstream sounding stuff but once he opened Scorpion with a tay keith beat that was the beginning of the end i think
drake definitely has a sound but i think it peaked in 2015 and he’s been in another pocket for almost a decade now. a drake type beat then and now mean entirely different things

ryuHI’m so tired of the different variations of the “Drake doesn’t belong” conversation
The nigga has been here for 15 years playing on every radio station, at every party, every club, every cookout and everyone has known the entire time exactly who he is and where he’s from
Also did Biggie speak on/rap about social issues? No that was Pacs lane. What about Lil Wayne? Barely, and when he has he definitely hasn’t come off as very pro black. Not every rapper has to be an activist man
While i dont think this is even related to the discussion in here i think the counterargument to what you’re saying is that Wayne (pre skateboarding and p**** or at least on the first two Carters) Big or Future‘s music is already rooted in the black experience. It’s the authentic background music to the scenarios and events “conscious” rappers depict in their lyrics

Lol its a losing battle
Niggas get to claim southern rap beats and 90’s/2000’s r&b / dancehall all in one
May 9, 2024·1 replyThink of it lyrically….. does Drake use any Toronto slang in his music?

May 9, 2024·3 repliesPeople having to cherry pick songs and albums from his catalog is proving the point
Drake turns the “Toronto sound” on and off. Switches up to accents and sounds from other regions a lot
Kendrick never suddenly sounds like he should be on the Top Boy show and the next minute wiping his nose with his slimes in Atlanta

Is that why Abel said his sound is Drakes Toronto sound with a twist?
Is that why Partynextdoor picked his name because the sound reminded him of 40?
Is that why we have artists like Brent & Bryson?
