Am I crazy because I don't dig Drake? I'm even from TO.

I just saw some special on TV the other day about how he was "the new king of hip hop," and I was just all "what?"

I don't get what's so great about a kid who holds his breath while he raps.

cause he has a ridiculous flow and his earlier mixtape was very good

I dunno. Maybe I just won't ever be into mainstream rap.

I just see nothing of value in the guy. Link to one of the earlier mixtape songs?

For me, he is very hit or miss with his rap verses, his album was pretty bad. I did enjoy his mixtapes prior to that though.

Oh and his singing voice is very good, so he can always fall back on that if all else fails.

For me, Drake and J. Cole give me the same feeling, as far as their flows go.

I'm pretty indifferent towards drake, I don't really like him but i don't hate him either. Dude is making money and putting my city on the map, isn't talking about hoes and guns and money (as far as I know) so who really cares?

If there is a TO rapper i dislike it would be Belly. Fuck that guy.

Diggy can rap, wouldn't say I'm a fan of his though

It's funny how on the Run's House show, his big brother decided to make a bunch of ATL type rap for radio and embarrassed himself. Whereas Diggy is going for straight up spitting, multi syllable flow.

Just listened to it, its not that bad. DEFINITELY not worse than a-milli...

but goddamn Diggy can rap. I love that kind of flow so I hope he makes it big and gets some nice beats soon. Possible-fan here

What's wrong with Belly man? Dude's got some sick tracks off that Revolution album.

..some. Why the hell do people even like Money To Blow? If not the worst Drake track, Birdman had to snatch it and make it even worse.

Nothing new but i've been listening to this again lately:

CannibalOxTheColdVein.jpg1


Definitely one of my top five albums of all time :D
Click to expand...


Just finished listening to this while chillin' with this chick from my job. I thought the soundscape would be too cold for her to get into, but she dug it. She loves 'Pigeon' and 'Iron Galaxy'.

I also got a 40 year old Irish white man who's all about ACDC and Led Zepplin and Bob Dylan into Cannibal Ox. He fucking loves them. He was disheartened when I showed him that tweet about Vordul.

one thing i like about cudi is that the guy has his own language, or vocabulary that actually makes sense.

haha I remember when Eminem's tracklist leaked and a "Kobe" was listed, but it turned out not to be Bryant of course.

Well this time it is! But with Kanye

cant decide if its weirder to see Kobe or Swizz in the studio w/ Kanye.

well. at least Kobe is good at what he does. Swizz? not so much.

Hey man, Kanye says its going to be Swizz's year!

Seeing Kanye and Mos together makes me happy though. If Talib was there I could die a happy man.

Top five? Interesting.

I enjoy the album, but that's pretty far up for me, considering the vastness of hiphop in general. It's somewhat monotonous, but not bad by any means. 'Stress Rap' and 'Atom' are my two favorites from it.
Click to expand...

It was the album that first got me into hip hop so it's always had a special place with me, but my top five list would be:

1) Black Star - Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star
2) Non-Prophets - Hope
3) Big L - Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous
4) Lil Wayne - No Ceilings (even though it's a mixtape)
5) Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein

Lil Wayne - No Ceilings looks out of place in that list, I'm by no means one of those people that tell others what they should or shouldn't listen, just that specific mixtape from Wayne seems odd

Any one of Wayne's Squad Up takes is superior to Ceilings.

imo of course

You're following him for the same reason everybody else is. He's fucking hilariously non-sequitur. One second, it's shoes, then the aforementioned Bieber man-crush. It wouldn't surprise me if he started ranting about Scott Pilgrim and Skittles. :lol

I have such a man crush on Kid Cudi, almost to the point where I find any song he releases to immediately be placed first on my replay list.

I actually totally feel this way to. First time I heard J Cole I thought it sounded alot like Drake. I don't dislike either, but am not big fans either. They get bantered around a lot around other artists I like though, but I just can't get passed this meh okay feeling.
