Ok, I just watched the clip...he has a fair point. Our hip hop scene is old, started from the early early 80's with Maestro, Michie Mee, Dream warriors etc. but there's a few reasons why we haven't had a specific unifying sound until recently, but mainly it's because record labels wouldn't really back canadian artists unless they could cross over or get some buzz in America so most acts were forced to work with American producers or craft a sound that could crossover.

Because of our cultural mosaic you could identify a Toronto rapper through the slang and dialect but not the beats....our sound leaned more towards East Coast boom bap in the 90's....like that Mathematik track, i posted up top..

"So far gone" "House of Balloons" etc. really cemented a certain Toronto sound but it's new and developed at a time when there are way more "open borders" as far as musical exportation in the present day due to the internet and shit. If we had crafted that sound in the early 90's like most other regions -(G Funk, bounce music, Miami Bass etc.) or so it would be more cemented and more easily identifiable

You couldn't have crafted that sound in the early 90s because it was largely adapted from the mid/late 90s sound that emerged from Da Bassment/DeVante/Timbaland/Missy/Static/Aaliyah, etc.

Ja was always a superior rapper to 50.



This! Dude can literally pass for being Latino and even Arab, so his music career is far from being done. Gunna and 6ix9ine weren't impacted by that "snitching" shit that hit them. Most women don't care. Reality is that losing a "hip-hop battle" or losing "streed cred" isn't really impactful to any rappers these days. All Drake needs is another club hit for the summer and he'll be fine.



How did he shit on 40?
40 is disgruntled because he feels Drake doesn’t give him enough credit for his success

Damn what more do he want?

EVERYONE knows him name

There were crazy think pieces written about his genius and his perfection in crafting pockets for real MCs to sound great. In fancy music and engineering websites and magazines. Giving that white man mad credit "maybe" even too much for drake's success.

If 40 really salty? No wonder Drake never trusts anyone.

Shit usually goes this way in the industry. Somebody always ends up being upset about something. Look at the Neptunes

Question:

When it's all said and done, will Not Like Us have the same legacy as Hit 'Em Up??

It's a bit soon to ask I know, but a year or 2 from now, what do you think?

@largebillsonlyplease you definitely need to weigh in here

@TheFuser @playahaitian @REDLINE you guys too
I think it'll have a huge legacy outside of rap it'll have a chance to be canon in so many different ways

They not like us will just be a term we use for outsiders
Teams will employ it etc

Time will tell if it lasts all summer then absolutely

Oh that is NOT going anywhere fam.

That's locked into the hip hop lexicon

I want something to be said also for the record...

Kendrick tracks were VERY much based on Takeover rather than ether.
nah -
who leads with money? materialism claiming social proof?
vs who raps culture?

shit it was handed down...

from tae-bo hoe
to o-v-hoe

from only concerned with dissing women
to not speak on Serena

from you a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, a stan
to he a fan, he a fan, he a Freaky-ass nigga

disagree

Smarten up nas

Lame

Half a bar

I can do math

Cole fumbled but K perfected it and took from ALL the greats

I'm just saying Takeover always been the BETTER song and then Drake made actual songs against Meek and now K

Takeover lacked creativity and art

who leads with money? materialism claiming social proof?
vs who raps culture?

blueprint2 is what y'all should really be holding up

culture says - no one would ever accuse Jay of rapping like he trying to free the slaves....

I never considered the Pac Drake comparison till just now

Drake never truly felt loved accepted and embraced by his people like Pac.

Pac was able to accepted as a conflicted individual. Love women but still call them bitch and hoes. Thug intellectual revolutionary gang banger poet bully.

I dint think ANYONE ELSE can ever be ALLOWED to exist in all those spaces anymore.

And I think Drake foolishly thought he could kinda be the Rock of rap.

Without ever paying that black tax for REAL.
Drake only knows his blackness as something to profit from

to compare him to Pac is almost ignorant

Pac was surrounded in blackness - and was never allowed to forget who he was
his folks were openly hunted and or killed by the federal gov't

Pac was able to exist in all spaces because

-Pac always knew what Jay Z couldn't know when he wrote:

Is it One Mic or is it Oohchie Wally?

Bro it was a passing thought I was going to mull over more later. And I stand on the comparisons I made and much like Kendrick did to Aubrey - I specifically phrased it that way about Pac duality to lead you to that specific takeover line since you dismissed it as the superior record early.

3 hour time difference

I know we've bout beat this shit into the ground but that white boy FINALLY kicking out his breakdowns of lyrics.

Here's Euphoria:


He gets some of it right....but alot of it wrong.
Euphoria was a fuckin classic....better than them all if u ask me.
But the lines....

"We hate the bitches you fuck, cuz they confuse themselves with real women
And notice I said We (Oui)"...[a play on the fact that his pornstar bm is a French woman]...

That flew over a lot of heads.
Kendrick is fuckin brilliant....
