It's 2024 and people still give a flying f*** about someone being labeled pop
Embarrassing
it’s an inferiority complex with pop music
The issue is not Drake being labeled pop, the issue is that people label Drake pop as a way to dismiss his status and presence in the hip-hop genre
yeah it’s dismissing the fact that drake is rooted in hip hop and always caters to rap fans, it’s just not the rap they consider to be the best or that deep
Mos said it was likeable, which is cool, he liked his pop songs enough to cover it
it’s an inferiority complex with pop music
For some people this is true.
But for me it bothers me because it feels like people who do usually dismiss something as “pop” are doing it in a disrespectful way, because like you said there’s an inferiority complex behind the branding of “pop music”
Like it’s never dished out in a positive way
bait threads are KTT's main currency
site goes into withdrawal after a while from not enough drake being hip hop discourse

yeah this makes sense
Drake's music sounds good in Target. His music sounds good in a lot of settings. A lot of hip hop sounds good in Target.
Idk when genre discussions got so annoying for me but here we are lol
genre discussions were always lame lowkey lmao, i kinda got the hint when i saw some RYM niggas in a server adamantly trying to argue Rodeo wasn’t trap music and was “””Houston rap”””
like yeah sure buddy
any way here’s something kind of positive:
Here’s mos and drake both having songs singing about heartbreak:


And here’s them re-purposing HOV songs


Loved all these songs

like yeah sure buddy
imo either label isnt correct, its just modern hip hop
trap music is the subject matter not the sound, travis dont sell d**** and rap about it
any way here’s something kind of positive:

Nah Travis ain’t trap. He ain’t whippin up babies, workin his wrist, serving junkies or anything like that.
I always categorized him in my head as southern pop rap tbh.

Oh no I don’t think that, the mos and drake discourse just interesting to me, and I think they are similar in ways which is why I posted that
I have been genuine fan of both
FATD is still on steady rotation for me
“Drake is no different than Future”
Yall gotta stop with this bullshit man lol. Seen a few niggas break it down perfectly in a thread yesterday. Imma post em here


that TML poster be getting embarrassed in every thread
he didn’t say it wasn’t, follow along with your finger next time
Shut the f*** up
you willingly post in misc you clearly the fatherless nigga here
Posting in misc is fatherless but d*** riding a man on the internet like this isn’t
Don’t worry i’ll be ur father
as a 25 year old thats listened to drake since i was 11 i dont get what this nigga did to yall. like this is clearly one of the greatest rappers to ever do this but just because he sings his hooks now he a popstar. literally there is no difference between drake and future yet drake is called the pop star. why cant you sing without being called a pop star
i think the real things people can criticize drake on isnt even talked about, people just dont like this nigga.
like am i insane? did i not listen drake dominate an entire decade with a pen that had the greatest artist of all time doing tricks on that s***
ngl if i was that nigga id be evil too
Greatest artist of all time????? Lmao listen to other s*** man.
also pop is about more than singing, its about the sound, the production you choose, etc
Also about writing. Which I think is incredibly important to remember. The bet pop artists have been Trojan horses
that TML poster be getting embarrassed in every thread
You on my d*** in every thread
