bro... If you as an ARTIST and a Hip hop lifer and just a music fan
can REALLY fix your face to say Drake aint got records we gonna STILL listen to 10 years from now?
I can't have a serious debate with you.
You can say personally you don't LIKE something
But you cannot DENY the impact and proven value of something JUST based on taste.
You got records I personally LOVE and have shared that to ME are timeless
but just because Flex aint drop a bomb on them - makes them LESS than?
We can separate personal taste from the validity of the art itself.
Drake got records that will be played in weddings clubs and bar mitzvahs for YEARS and YEARS.
nah Drake is the Taylor in rap
Common could repurpose The Bitch in You
Which Drake joints ?
I don't fuck with his music like that
So say THAT.
But you can't make a declaration like that just off nothing.
Its like dudes a few months saying Taylor Swift doesn't have any songs they heard of
I bet you can't really either.
But you used her as a comparison still.
Because they're pop artists
I know of Drake songs but idk if there's any I'd call classic material
"Something something on my cell phone"
real talk - its less than 10 and most of those are features
doesn't matter - he said no classics
that is just not true
even if you barely know his catalogue you know that.
And features, song writing etc still count bro
But its OK I aint fighting for that up in here
Its music.
No matter WHAT numbers records awards.
You can like what you want
but you CANNOT say he isn't successful and has a large fanbase for a record length of time in a very fickle industry.
Again you like what you like but to deny the reality? Well OK
@playahaitian give me them classics
Nigga! The rap Taylor Swift made me laugh out loud for real!
Mos Def already said it
Music you hear in the mall at Forever 21
If we talking memorable moments on an album, to me at least, there are few that will ever top SING ABOUT ME on GKMC then the follow up THESE WALLS from TPAB.
When that beat changed, voice got distorted a bit and Kendrick was spitting that verse, when it ended I was looking at the speaker in sheer disbelief...

Bomani understand what I gotta go thru on here
You putting Drake and Aquemini in the same convo ?
There's no doubt Drake has hit records. I think I told this story but I was in Toronto on tour the day after Back to Back dropped. A Philly dude in Toronto... It was tragic. After the show I went to this after party situation at this club. The DJ ran off about 20 Drake songs in a row. No other artist, just Drake. And the party stayed lit. I can never take that away from him. I'm not sure how many people have 20 straight jawns that can keep a party lit.
Now, how many of those will be timeless? How many will we be playing in ten years? Twenty? I don't know the answer. Does he have a Poison (BBD)? A Before I Let You Go? When I think of timeless songs, those are examples of songs where generations that come may not have been alive when the songs were created, but they play them at their functions and know all the lines nonetheless. Does Drake have those songs? Serious question. Not being shady at all. Rack City? Kiki? Hotline Bling?
Also, I still don't think he has a classic album. I see people say Take Care. I'd say Take Care is a classic Drake album but not a classic album on the level of Blueprint, Illmatic, Midnight Marauders, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, GRODT, GKMC, etc. Drake is amazing at creating dope ass singles but I don't think he puts together cohesive projects. I think he rides whatever wave is out (Little Brother, Wayne, Dram, Migos, Future) instead of being the wave and perhaps that's why it doesn't translate into complete projects.
What he does has made him rich and famous. So at the end of the day, none of what I think matters.
"Something something on my cell phone"
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Well in a few years you gonna be my oldest wedding looking like this
So get to knowing.
I am not saying anything more than this
Bro said Drake has NO HIT RECORDS.
Lets stay on topic
Once you say THAT?
You aint serious.
Can I get some of these timeless Kendrick tracks while we talking about drakes? And this not just to you I'm asking anybody. These K. Dot songs that we'll hear 20 years from now. Cause you don't hear a whole lot of em now.
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Well in a few years you gonna be my oldest wedding looking like this
So get to knowing.
I didn't say no hits
Of course he has hits
4 sure
Stop Jon Jon
You REALLY read what I posted and got that from it?
The point is you cannot make declarative statements without the research or knowledge.
The man said he aint like Aquemini (which is FINE) but to DENY its significance and artistry is something completely different.
So Bo and people who KNOW - sat him down and schooled him. And he was receptive enough to receive it.
So you can't say Drake aint got no hits...then ask what hits he got? Oh well I never heard them.
That's on YOU.
So you can't say Drake or Beyonce or Taylor got no hits. When you KNOW that aint the case just by living on Planet Earth.
Not LIKING those records is another thing entirely and is just fine.
So how are YOU defining Hits as opposed to classics?
damn we got the exact same algorithm. This was the first thing on my youtube home page this morning.
Who let the dogs out was a hit
Yes OK to some that's also a classic
I want you to DEFINE to me your specific criteria for a classic, a popular record and a hit.
Examples are subjective.
