    OP cooked, idk why bars has to mean slow deliveries and flows that lack energy when he’s done the opposite almost any track pre 2018

    for example, both of these beats are relatively slow yet he’s still rapping with a sense of urgency and using appropriate vocal inflections that give the raps energy

    The “boring” flow you describe is derivative of artists like Jay-Z and Biggie and inspired by late 90s early 00s mafioso/braggadocio rap and is essentially the style that has earned him the most respect among traditional/hardcore rap fans. That style is also the main reason he gets grouped with Kendrick and Cole. They are considered a 2010s equivalent of Biggie Jay-Z and Nas. He’s never going to stop rapping like that lol

    Except he didnt do that over classic top tier tracks like Tuscan Leather

    Rare occasions that boom bap rappers use vocal inflections and high energy in their raps. Not sure why anything different is expected with Drake.

    Also boom bap is not the only time Drake “tries” to actually rap. Probably the only time half of y’all can even catch his bars if agree with that statement.

    People love to call Drake soft or sensitive but this freestyle further proves that Drake is the demonic, goon employing thug, that Tupac and Biggie were thought to be. If the ominous drill beat didn't spell it out, Drake is one of the realest threats in the rap game and can get anyone killed if he wishes.

    Kanye said it himself about Drake in 2018, "He running around like he pac", that's because Drake is the new modern day Pac. He's really running around with a strap on his hip, has killer goons on command, is affiliated with the mafia, and has bodyguards that look like they eat nails in a bowl of blood. He had Kanye fearing for his dear life and kids lives in 2018 when the beef was popping.

    Drake really is the demon of Calabasas and Hollywood. We're looking at a real life Godfather Michael Corleone type figure, a gang affiliated Michael Jackson tier pop-star but on a much grander scale than MJ ever was. There's so many stories of Drake's getting rude yutes clapped up or performing mob boss gestures like throat slices, clapping his hands, etc. Drake dines at mafia style restaurants like The Nice Guy/Delilah in Hollywod.

    And he has enough power to bully superstar celebrities like Tory and Kanye around and make them think twice about their actions. This nigga Don Corleone runs every corner and inch of Canada and claimed it as his own. For the first time in forever we're looking at an invincible GOAT who really lives the stories.

    dude exactly

    I hate this mentality about forums where any critique is considered hating or invalid

    we are on the Drake forum because we like Drake

    we are critiquing Drake because we like him

    we've seen him rap his ass off AND bring a commanding vocal delivery

    but after 2015 it's been very few and far between

    "i don't know how anymore, love"

    It should be an instant ban for haters posting stuff like “ I hate when drake raps , Drake thinks he’s Jamaican” that type of stuff because it brings negative energy to the rest of the threads

    People only respect his rapping ability when he does that type of song. War is just as lyrical as any of these but people acted like he was talking gibberish on it.

    Even then I think there’s more variety in these songs then you’re giving him credit for. The Shoe Fits and Stories About My Brother are great examples of this. 8AM too.

    Finally someone who knows what theyre talking about. This should shut down any conversation about his rap style honestly.

    So y'all want Drake to rap with five different voices like Kendrick or something
    Whenever Drake switches up the flow and energy over different sounding beats, its either "why he rapping over trap beats" or "why he rapping like a fake gangster"...

    what are you even talking about? he switched up his style on Her Loss and even drake haters admitted it was the funnest he's sounded in a while

    What is with the weird strawmen arguments

    You can't parse what OP is saying? Why do you have to take it to weird extremes. Nobody is talking about five voices.

    I swear this forum makes me dumber

    Think hes leaned on the new flow cause its easier to do the multi-syllabic stuff and insert wordplay with it, would be great if he could return to the more dynamic delivery tho
