This is the target audience (no pun intended)

shopping with an edge in certain instances

at what point in his career?

Drake is too unique for real

I feel like it’s kind of wrong to fully box him out of hip hop lol like he’s done some good spitting. And his run is obviously the greatest

But if you really love hip hop then you should be able to see where Mos is coming from. It’s not an indictment on drake, he just played the pop game more than most. On one hand you’re going to get the success but the purist is never going to hold him high like that until Mos generation is gone. Just is what it is

This is gonna cause a s*** show and expose a lot of hip hop fans but i’m just here for the comments

Mos is underrated as an icon, he was actually such a star in that time period. I really respect what he did for hip hop

Putting on Mob Ties while shopping for kombucha at Target and pretending you have opps

As a Target shopper just confirms Drake is a GOAT

I don't think the guy having to resort to performing MF Doom covers for anyone to show up to a show of his is any competition to Drake.

wasn’t there a viral clip of a dude vlogging himself buying detergent or some s*** set to a drake song

lmaoooo

Nice now drake fans gonna start pretending they listen to Mos and hate his music

And yeah there’s some underhand stuff going on here as well as per usual against Drake being a rapper

If you hold the ghostwriting s*** against him cause some hiphop principal s***? Cool I don’t but respect. But the Drake is pop s***? Aside from the limited frame of reference part, this is classic “Drake isn’t really one of us” code that has nothing to do with music but is played off like it only does

Won’t get into it amongst a bunch of non white users but that should let y’all know what’s at play here. “Drake is pop” goes beyond genre talk

in all honesty i dont think ive heard a single mos def song on the radio

simply an observation though

This mfer said "biblical" and Drake in the same sentence

Comes off very hateful tbh.

Let’s go through the checklist

• high quality amongst its mainstream competition
• unique experience that blends several different styles into a centralized location
• highly enjoyable to partake in

Wow I see no lies

ironically Drake be rapping more than rapper's favorite rapper. I f***s with Mos though

Mos Def isn't most people though

Ehhhhhhh

I feel you fam but Drake has entire singing albums, like a lot of people consider Take Care and FATD more r&b than hip hop (I’m one of them)

That definitely contributes to it, it’s not just the singles. The one thing Drake hasn’t surpassed Hov at is achieving that balance where you can get the purist love while still doing the pop singles. Granted jay actually got a good amount of flack from backpackers in the late 90s but still.

Drake has always been dead set against trying to please the purist almost on some rebellious s***, this just comes with that territory

I love Drake. I'm a giant stan like most of us here. But Mos Def is MOS DEF. That man can rap entire f***ing planets around Drake. So if it's money, fame and clout, yeah it's Drake. But if it's RAP it's Mos Def.

HNVM hits hard in the makeup aisle

I respect that
