Drake has more great projects than Mos Def and that's a fact

True, this why my longer post after had to be made

But do you really believe Mos Def knows about Scary Hours 3 or how much Drake is rapping his ass off on Her Loss?

Yeah, what Hailey did to him on his Bahamas trip was some real Judas s***

He should know the biggest rap album of 2022

It’s true but that’s just because old heads are the only ones who still have principles and ideals on what hip hop should be, and aren’t just blindly following the money and success. Hip hop wasn’t supposed to be about who can sell the most there are philosophies and core tenants.

I don’t think 50 cent is hip hop either he’s rap. But he’s also closer than drake

i have a feeling it has something to do with this complex.com/music/a/eric-skelton/drake-poetry-book-review-ig-models

Glad you said this cause I’ve broken this down in percentages with Take Care and got him straight rapping at 68% of the runtime

Biblical

Is he stupid? Being so versatile that you can kill it in any genre and that you therefore release some pop songs doesnt mean u are a pop artist (which is what he said, cuz the interviewer asked him if Drake was hip-hop)?

If you think Drake is a pop artist then you don't know and don't understand hip-hop. F*** outta here, idiot

@Brave This is why lmao

Shortly after the article was published, Drake hopped in ComplexMusic's Instagram DMs and left a suggestion: "Can you do an article now where the baddest Instagram girls in the world review my poetry book, not the head of the Mos Def fan club... Thanks 😂."

He’s entitled to that opinion and I understand that perspective coming from him

Who cares

"Shopping with an edge" is insane

Also I would rate The Ecstatic as one of the great forgotten albums as we went into the 2010s era and that it should be more highly regarded

Mos Def is a purist so it makes sense that he wouldn't exactly see what Drake does as hop hop. That being said, that's his opinion. Drake came up on that purist hip hop.

“Zack from the Six” saying Yasiin Bey is an idiot who doesn’t know or understand hip hop. Ive seen it all

People consider Lauryn hip hop tho and her one solo album is pretty much a rnb album

I love how mad the pop label still makes people in 2024

As if many of the most acclaimed, influential and successful artists in the world aren't making pop music

Ahh he let out the venom cause of a diss lol

He's right, and that's not really a bad thing

Ever heard of Ms Fat Booty ?

Drake has always been seen as an outsider to old heads cuz managed to dominate as a pop rapper without having to be completely HipHop

I hate when people vilify success. He acts like hip hop artists were going to transform a system when truthfully they sold it out before Drake was on Degrassi. Being a purist doesn’t pay bills or take care of 13 kids allegedly.

keep in mind that’s a UKer

The end remarks made me think. He’s right on some level, what do we get from Drake/his music? Like from Kanye, I got some “socially conscious” stuff mixed in with your typical rap, but I think a main theme people get from Ye and his music is confidence & belief in self.

Idk what I get from Drake. I consume his music a lot but outside of “Drake n Drive” type memes earlier on, what am I really getting out his music? I gotta reflect on that

KTT loves a hot take on Drake

S***s like the bat signal on this site

Gonna be 30 pages by tonight
