If by "a lot of people" you mean the hoards of tween girls who buy records like Drake makes then yeah, you have a point.

Many teen girls bought Beatles albums also and they are considered one of the greats of pop, a lot of teen girls bought Elvis albums and he is one of the legends of rock. A lot of teen girls bought Jimmy Hendrix albums and he is a legend also. Your point? Just becuase somebody is popular does not make them instantly irrelevant.

I agree with Recon on that, Take Care is a very personal album that happen to be fantastic whether you want to admit it or not, Drake is a great artist that just happens to appeal to a lot of people. Game on the other hand after Documentary fell off and started making the same shit over and over.

Yup, whole west coast is a bit like Houston in a way. Dudes make enough money just being underground in one state and are satisfied with it.

Oh wait. You're serious. Sigh.

No shit taste is subjective, everybody knows pop sells, nobody claims sales equals quality. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Drake still sucks.

I despise Drake outside of Take Care, which I consider one of the best albums of last year. I think I put it in my top 20ish or so. That album has great atmosphere.

It's not that bad.

for a kid who hasn't done anything in his life at all.. the production, and his flow were created like a good drug.


almost out of the blue.

EDIT: Take Care has great atmosphere.. it shows his life in where it is.

Not really

Just like H-town they want shine and respect

There are no west coast labels/studios right now and it's hurting them badly

Being able to sell big in the Internet age is impressive

Not a huge fan but the guy earned my DJ respect because he knows how to make songs that touches many demographics

Right. Young women. I am not a young woman. I am, in fact, a crusty oldish dude. Just like young people are predisposed to like crap (we all did) at certain ages, I am predisposed to dislike the crap they like.

It's the circle of life man. And it moves us all.

It's funny you guys are talking about Take Care, I hate Drake but I've been listening to it the past few days mainly because of T-Minus production

Where is this young women thing coming from?

From a spinning standpoint men request and sing Drake songs way more

It's cool not to like him or whatever but dismissing his sales as poppy shit sells is shortsighted

Yeah really, I believe all rappers would love the shine and sell millions, but I'm just saying a lot are satisfied with their underground state because they rather be underground than having to deal with labels.

Well, I mean, he is pop. Is that really debatable? It's just his genre. And how can anybody argue that he makes songs for and about the ladies? That's his entire schtick...

And you know the dudes are requesting that shit to show their lady friends how sensitive they are and whatnot. This is like, science.

Troubled because....

...some woman doesn't love him, but he totally still has feels for her, but if you (sexy lady with a doctorate and street smarts) play your cards right, you can nurse him back to health. Like a baby dove with a broken wing.

I dont enjoy Drakes music. Its as simple as that. People talking the "cool" to not like him angle are wrong.

You could go as far to include Jay,Em shit even Kanye in that group of being so big that its cool not to like them.

I like all three. But Drake? Nah.

Wheres Siddx at when you need him?? Homie wilds out going at Drake.

Also, Men dont wear skinny jeans. Nothing to do with being fat/skinny its to do with being Male/female.

Dude's request it because they want to be the one singing the song and girls request it because they want to be sung to.

1. He never said he saved anything. He just said Ghost's verses were amazing like we all knew
2. Saved it from what? The song was already nice even without Ghost. He just took it to another level

He saved it from having that stupid ass sing along shit at the end of it. Would have ruined replays forever, I know I was avoiding the song because of that end bit for a while, now I don't have to.

It's one thing to say skinny jeans aren't for you, but to say skinny jeans aren't for men? come on.
