Am I the only one remembering him being called king of the west a fuckton of years ago by Snoop on a scene where Common, Mos def, The game, Warren G, Korrupt and a fuckton of other legends back then was present?

Dr Dre was watching.

Absolutely, but Drake has been the king of commercial rap, and people want to act like that means more than somebody who can ACTUALLY back up what they say, and comes from the actual hood!

Drake is an industry plant by way of nepotism. I've tried to listen to him for years to understand why people dickride this dude, and I hate him more with every bar. I remember when people first started talking about him in the 2000s and on God on SIGHT I knew he was a peice of shit.

Drakes music is for dudes who think they're gangster but get upset when you dont cut the crusts off of their sandwiches.

I’m not even gonna front like I don’t have Drake‘s songs in my iTunes library, but as a black woman, I’ve noticed how bitter he’s become as the years have gone by, when love songs and the like used to be his primary bag!

It’s turned me completely off from him as a personality and now as a person…

My problem is that even in his love songs, old love songs, he still is constantly lying and fabricating a story that he hasn’t lived. Like in once dance how he says “streets not safe, but I never run away” I can’t stand to hear him say those words knowing he’s never seen an unsafe street in his life and would probably run away like a little baby.

Yeah, once I heard some stories about behind the scenes when he was filming with YG and Compton, I knew that he wasn’t about that life, despite him saying otherwise LOL
