Someone need to make an edit where right when pac comes in on mortal man it’s just the drake verse
Your FPS edit was legendary man lmfao
I can definitely do it @notbrock
He had the sauce that bridged the pop/rap/rnb gap that n simultaneously appealed to all races and genders. That wouldn’t have happened without the marketing and s***appeal.
Look at all the popular music of the 2000s. Drake synthesized it all into a neat package but it was also actually cool.
He is the most important and biggest Kanye disciple that there ever will be
This a good summation
Kendrick crashing out and forgoing all his morals and built up goodwill to Hit 'Em Up Drake >>>>
That Tupac and Jada love
Such a cute couple. I feel like she'd respect him.
Do you listen to mims by any chance? Any j kwon?
Rumor has it homeland security found j Kwon in diddys vault
So how did Drake become the biggest?
He’s talented af, but that alone isn’t enough. Is it his crossover appeal? A big marketing push? Right place, right time? his s\*\*\*appeal?
Like the idea that a rapper would also sing their own hooks wasn’t new but it took a lot of balls and actual talent. Kanye caught flack for it. But the street expectation for rappers was well on its way out when Drake was coming up, he was just one of the best at bridging yhis gap. Hes also insanely cynical and tactical.

J kwon is fire man. I don't like your tone.

I mean tipsy was a banger but he went missing right after

Yeah, I think his cynicism has helped him survive in the public eye this long.

All of da above. But most importantly musical appeal to women.
Go to a strip club in Vegas and I guarantee you you’ll hear Drake 95% of the night

True; sometimes we downplay the role of ladies in rap, but they a big chunk of the pie.
Can’t be the biggest if you don’t give them something too
Drake also came at the perfect time when dudes stopped caring about authenticity. This dude would have zero chance having a rap career in da 90s

90s aesthetic rap Drake is a hilarious thought
The Shoe Fits is so well made and paints such a picture, but it makes me so upset, lol.
Like, it’s just so negative

Very important. Imagine ladies going crazy on a dance floor of a club when their favorite Drake song comes on and the lucky lad she’s grinding on
You know that man in his head is extra grateful for Drake after that
Underground rappers of the time also exemplified "toxic masculinity" and many people were turned off by it and thus Drake was something of a fresh air. Now we got a generation of sensitive niggas who ironically enough, act out toxic masculinity because they can't express their emotions in a healthy manner.
