That song didn’t become huge

nigga what?

It was the closest he’s had. Rich flex wasn’t close

No it wasn’t

Can't believe ppl are trying to sell toosie slide as a major hit

What's next, slime you out?

bro

what the f*** is wrong with some of y’all on here?

Rap becoming the most popular genre was a slow burn that Drake was a part of. He was not the sole reason for it

it’s very telling that the people who get laundered into hip-hop through Drake

This is the thing: Drake doesn’t even launder people into hiphop as a whole. And idk with this one I gotta look into it. Very interesting and undeniable phenomenon that ppl don’t talk about

the boy lost his spark

not only did that post had nothing to do with what @Brave was even saying, it could easily be argued Eminem brought hip-hop to the tables of white America way way more than Drake just off top of my head

He definitely needs one. Been a good min

Wait for u

Drake changed the way everyone rapped like on a giant scale when the melodic rapping started working for him, plus around when he came in singing his own hooks the mainstream rappers stopped calling skyler grey and bruno mars for all their hooks drake f***ed up all the formulas

90% of your posts seem to be in Drake threads, he’s the obsessions of his stans and haters alike and been that for over a decade. Idk what rap artist comes close that. Not saying he was the sole reason, not by far, but he was certainly a big part of it.

Rappers were singing their own hooks before niggas even knew what a Toronto was lol

Bros bringing up rappers from a whole different millennium

It would be wait for u

Max b and french style hooks yea but like they had a little irony to them and that wasnt like their hit formula, drake def brought something new that a lot of people imitated

Huh???

lol

Eminem and 50 and Kanye are much bigger worldwide

Yeah, it's a wrap on music as a whole

Nigga t-pain short run and Wayne/Ye held rap over worldwide as it transitioned to the blog era what is niggas on

Yeah bless his heart with that reply shoutout to him but anyway, Drake never brought a mass of new hiphop fans. This isn’t even something slow burning or hidden when it happens: not when NWA did it, Kanye did it, Em did it, Kendrick did it. It was pretty f***ing obvious that they brought in new hiphop fans with certain projects - often to them being berated for the ‘demographics’ they brought in

This has never happened with Drake. And you really know too cause, well…young niggas never went “oh I wanna rap like Drake” either lol

50 cent? Bone thugs?

Drake being the first to do what he did or even popularize it was one of the biggest lies sold to the people.
