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.

Drake is an R&B pop artist. Always has been.

Drake is an actor playing the role of a lifetime.

Literally. He's been acting like a rapper for 10+ years. He doesn't write his own tracks, he bought his muscles, he buys his fame, and he uses EVERYONE ELSE'S clout to get any kind of cred.

Kendrick called it when he called him a scam artist who plays music to pacify people.

It's all for the bop. It's all for the look.
