Toronto’s sound is moody late night drive music like him, Nav, PND and Tory

Doesn't really make sense as a criticism of any OVO artist other than Drake tbh.

KMT isn’t grime at all i think you’re confused

One thing I agree with in this clip, he doesn’t know how to approach the subject of being black so many odd lines

Everyone ITT naming R&B/pop records. It’s clear Ebro is saying that Drake doesn’t have a regional rap sound

a lot of people from toronto have like a broken uk accent and slang ive known someone from there for like 20 years speaking with an accent like that before drake leaned into it. drake growing up spent summers in the south so that is a real part of his life. he’s not imitating artists like how game or chris brown did

“Inspired” doing alotta heavy lifting there

Sounding like a football fan. ''support your local'' headass

No such thing as regional in the digital age. We worldwide.

It’s interesting that people itt are naming many different and contrasting things.
I want to say Views is the most “Toronto” he’s ever sounded

idk what you're getting at. hip hop in the uk wasn't a thing until the 2000's or the earliest very late 90's and they don't consider grime hip hop so people like skepta, dizzee rascal, and a good amount of aj tracey's music isn't hip hop. the uk developed their own sound though and it's their's sure it wasn't made in 80's but it's their own sound. toronto has their own sound. sure it's not older than me but it's still the toronto sound doesn't matter how old or new it's a regional sound

He should’ve glued himself to boi1da, 40, and majid Jordan. Those three give him all the identity he needs

Well that’s because he’s the first massive star to do so Ebro is kinda being disingenuous Here

Not Like Us out now!

But that's the point

I can understand someone having a mixed cultural background and getting a unique accent that way

If you have a southern accent on songs with Migos because your dad is from the south, fine, but keep it consistent. Stick to being that person all the time

If your natural way of speaking is in a Toronto/UK/Caribbean accent, cool, then be that person all the time

But Drake doesn't get on songs with Migos sounding like the mandems. He could just be proud of where he's from and just rap with them with a Toronto accent but he doesn't

I like Drake but that strikes people as inauthentic, or lacking identity

🧢 Drake has a worldwide sound.

To me he got the Toronto morning breakfast maple syrup sound on lock

Listen to 6:16 in LA instead

Nigga tell us why he was repping Houston more than Toronto until 2014 then also his Toronto sound is stolen from og niggaz like mo g smoke dawg, and niggaz from regent park. Bro a code switcher. He literally an actor

Nigga sounds like Bradley so white

But Kendrick just invented g-funk tho, right?

He did for So Far Gone, Thank Me Later, NWTS, IYRTYTL, and some of Views. Might be time to get back to that.

drake created a regional sound and it took over the entire industry for a decade what are you talking about man
