laudi· editedIt’s very easy to be versatile when the world sees you as basically white, so you can get away with making songs like this and still be considered “rap”
!https://youtu.be/vZmNlvfrL4UHow Bout Now is definitely a rap song. Different subject matter than what you might be used to hearing.
As for the edit to your post nobody I know considers Now & Forever a rap song. But that's what makes Drake more than a "rapper".
Apr 18, 2020OP is actually using Reverse Psychology. Him calling Drake the most experimental means he's the most basic artist of right now
Apr 18, 2020We Didnt Like ThatI actually see it the opposite, it's gimmicky when a rapper will waste a whole album on one concept like "what if I reveal my character is dead in the last song" or "let me produce every song myself". Those tunnel vision projects never have a great impact longterm. Drake sees a bigger picture than that.
Well I guess it depends on how you see it:
Is I can do 4 completely different things almost perfect
better than
I can do 8 things (not completely distinct) at very good level.I agree that those things don't make the projects more remembered though.
Apr 18, 2020Yes, it is drake!
But let’s see who can come up with the worst troll post

userDrake has literally made the same album over and over he just added dancehall beats in 2016 and grime for the next album lol
Compared to Kanye Kendrick or OutKast
Here’s an early candidate

Missing the point. He wouldn’t have “pop” or even “R&B” records if he wasn’t light skinned
Damn doubled down to take the crown

Bro what does him being light skinned have to do with him making R&b or pop
I've noticed a hint of racism in alot of Drake critics. People seem to think "lightskin" people just breeze thru life like easy street. When in reality it's one of the hardest struggles in North America, it makes Drake more admirable to me. He overcame a lot on top of being Jewish also, he is the underdog of hip-hop.

Quick post a Drake album without low pass filters and R&B samples lol
Apr 18, 2020We Didnt Like ThatI think what's made Drake so dominant is his versatility. Every album sounds different from each other. He never rehashes sounds or regresses as a visionary. Stays ever evolving and doesn't just cater to one demographic. Constantly experimenting regardless of everything he risks. A safe artist could never have built a legacy or discography like his.
SFG pushed what was considered "acceptable" by rappers further than anyone else had taken it. TML was an outstanding first album and was the last real big debut album. Take Care and the Club Paradise tour gave way to people like The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Asap Rocky. NWTS, and IYRTITL were more classics, Drake ran 2014 on features alone. He went all in on Views and More Life in terms of embrassing himself and his international sound. Scorpion is the best double album in recent memory, he could've slimmed it down but then we'd have out on so many classics.
Who do you consider a versatile artist(s) and what are they're best projects? Do you think change is "selling out" like Fall Out Boy or Maroon 5? Do you think artists should be more willing to experiment like Drake or should they always make the same music even if they change as people?
all time probably Prince or Sun Ra

Bro what does him being light skinned have to do with him making R&b or pop
He can appeal to all demographics
Black
White
Middle Eastern
HispanicBecause all demographics see something about themselves in him whether off of appearance or the idea of not being the street dude but still being able to get all the hard s*** off
This ties directly into him never tackling black issues so he doesn’t alienate his non black fans
Vs. a Kanye who made race the focal point of his narrative numerous times and didn’t give a f*** how anyone felt about it (pre 2016)

Sad thing is that dude isnt even black so his take on drake being lightskin is irrelevant

Nah it allows all the demographics live vicariously thru him bc all demographics can see a bit of themselves in him
Hispanic, Arab, white dudes all have something they can relate to Drake with that they couldn’t relate to a Hov or Ye or Wayne

You must not be black. Anyone who is knows how hard it is anyone who isn’t lightskinned to make soft and hard music nowadays

This post is dumb as f*** and theres not a single point that you got rightDrake is the first rapper to virtually have no race
There is no demographic that doesn’t f*** with Drake and that racial ambiguity subconsciously plays a big role
this same thing worked in Michael Jackson’s favor once his skin started f***ing up
Take your love for Drake out of it and look at it objectively.
