For that reason alone, I cannot take him seriously. <br /><br />Now my sister for some reason DOES think Drake is the next Jay-Z (this coming from a girl who listened to Tyrese like he was the new Al Green). I am not a Hip Hop Head and rappers like Lil' Wayne and Drake are the reason why!ELA Exclusivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509722308865994742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319114435976290746.post-63590218549252381302009-10-31T16:13:01.957-04:002009-10-31T16:13:01.957-04:00by the way...that video directed by Kanye was wack...by the way...that video directed by Kanye was wackas hell...anyone else with me there?honestnigganoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319114435976290746.post-24827564683606473502009-10-31T02:30:59.234-04:002009-10-31T02:30:59.234-04:00I think you nailed it with Drake and are underesti...I think you nailed it with Drake and are underestimating yourself. Marketing is amazing these days. Lady Gaga says she makes music for "the Gays" and what happens? She goes, like, quadruple platinum. When you pander people will eat your shit up! Look at Lil' Wayne, he created that niche for himself during The Carter 2 and now he rasps (miserably) over nonsensical similes and HE sells a ton of records. Soulja Boy Tell 'Em is on every BET program and he can't even understand how to rhyme! Now, (to tie it back together) I'm not saying that Drake sucks. I'm just saying that talent doesn't matter as long as you have someone who thinks what you're doing is cool or hip.Rap Geniusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319114435976290746.post-88207659057726474622009-10-30T23:59:13.604-04:002009-10-30T23:59:13.604-04:00Yep.

Think of the people on his label - Jay Sean, Bow Wow, Drake... he snatches up those people who cater to the 14-22 audience you talk about. He knew Drake was already gonna be a success in that department because, well he already was! Degrassi.<br />And I gotta say, I'm 20. I'm a woman. And I do enjoy a good dance to Best I Ever Had. Knew it was a marketing ploy as soon as I saw the video, but what can you do.<br />Also, I like listening to Forever, but I can't say it's for Drake's verse!<br /><br />"We gon' be alright if we put Drake on every hook." - WeezyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
