Ah yes, a conversation that was had in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 201— whilst Drake remained Hip Hop's top figure

Interviewer shawty needed views and Mos got baited

a carti stan speaking on morals 🐶💔

This man's a legend but tbh we know it already even his fans know it it's all cookie cutter music

Drake making a joke about not wanting oldhead mos def stans reviewing his poetry book

Now watch Drake do some petty s***. Any bet? Buy his jewellery or share screenshot of his feature hiding his name?

And youre still obsessed just as much as the stans

This a dangerous narrative to be spreading considering mos def is Muslim as well

Sometimes drake sound paranoid in his raps about how a lot of disgruntled people in rap treat him. S*** like this just kind of validates the bars

“Will they ever give my flowers… well of course not. They don’t wanna have that talk because it’s a sore spot” . Literally

Hoops on it

Keep going

Genuinely not trying to spread any narrative

They know the boy the one they gotta boycott
I told Jimmy Jam I use a GRAMMY as a door stop

Undermining his black masculinity

definitely he did but I’m not sure if I’m getting my point across thoroughly

Keef doesnt go into the booth thinking how many records can I sell, what radio station can I get on, what tv platform can I get on etc.

I can say that because when it was his time to crossover he had a clear don’t give a f*** attitude & some would see that as fumbling but that’s some real Hip Hop s*** tbh

That’s why there’s the term “crossing over” because you go from one audience to a mass audience

Hip Hop to Pop

Many artist strive for that mass appeal at times throughout their career but that is the main intent for artists like Drake

His constant intent on becoming the mass appeal & the willingness to become commercialized over and over again makes people consider him pop

These days it can be confusing because who’s to say Hip Hop isn’t Pop now which creates a whole new convo

That makes more sense

I agree 100% dawg. Just wish we could move away from these pointless takes that only lead to further alienation of fans for enjoying a particular artist. Our legends fail us every day with these low brow ass takes to artists who are helping pushing the culture forward for a decade+ now

The hating so gets old and tiring

I’m surprised drake hasn’t went crazy from all of it

user to post

I take back my statements, didn’t realize you knew Keef and Drake personally and been in the studio with them.

Wayne is 1,000% HipHop

Regardless of what NY bias might say, he was and is still a HipHop artist

Like he’s one of the few rappers to get a hit of a song with bars and no hook

Love Mos Def’s music but i saw him perform in London and he was dry humping the big speakers on the side and just scrolling through his dj’s laptop deciding which songs to randomly half-ass perform

lmao cmon bro

don’t be obtuse

It's funny because Wayne sounds like a f***ing Griselda artist compared to where rap went right after lol
