I thought I was the only one who hated Coldest Winter Ever and Zane.

I hated Coldest Winter Ever and Sister Souljah so much that I read her autobiography and Midnight, the sequel to Coldest Winter Ever just to confirm my suspicions that she’s an idiot.

Thank you.

You the fcuking best is my track.
Drake’s cool… I’m in Toronto and so I appreciate him because Canadian hip hop is usually ridiculously wack so its nice when they have a local artist they can play in the club without me cringing.

And one more thing.

My fav rappers include BIG, Nas, Hov, Ye, ATQC, Outkast, Redman, and others.

FYI Im NYC to the Heart taking this hip hop ish back to Krush Groove son. Q-Boro to the fullest. Real recognize real. Everything you just said about the history is common knowledge, with the sense.

All the great rappers of today have been “accused” of sounding like a predecessor. Drake will be no different.

He doesnt autotune on T-Pain ye ish btw.

Once again to each his own, and the boy got lyrics dudes should respect. Same way I may not be into Little Brother like that, but I respect and recognize their talent

Grown men clinging to their fading and former younger “street” selves

All those LV and Coach bags and sneakers..them Pradas too and “Coogi jeans” all that stuff is dirt cheap or fake so who cares you got it

this current era of hip hop.. the worst ever

He didnt yell nor scream nor bragg about his stuff-”diggin into might pockets and coming up with nothing but lint” in 86 that was far different for what was considered standard rap. But todays cookie cutter-cut n paste rappers suck lyrically but that doesnt matter its like the NBA all everybody wanna do is dunk, the hell with D and other intangibles. But the R has held his own thru the test of time hell even Lil Wayne used a line of his on one of his songs…”I”m thinking of a master plan”. Last if you watched the NFL’s “greatest game” you’d see it was played sloppy and rife with turnovers but it changed the NFL because of timing and circumstance, same with Rakim.

You must not know his catalogue. Dude has done tracks with Black Thought, Phonte from LB,along with underground acts. Once he signed with Young Money, that’s when it became ‘cool” to know about him and like him. Check out Comeback Season. Dude attacks mixtape like rappers should attack albums.

Barely heard of mixtapes? Thats hate cmon now. U def need more people, preferably those who listen to music instead of skimming through it. So Far Gone cant be barely heard if everyone who sells out his shows recite EVERY line. Best I ever had is off that mixtape, and since he hit the radio, that must mean ppl heard it right?

Drake had a buzz acting before all of this too, which helped develop his following. hes the evolution of an artist. He sings better than 50% of these so-called rn b dudes and his actual lyrical content is hot. He interlopes many talents into one cohesive project, so to say hes not ground breaking isnt accurate at all.

What you said about De La ATCQ etc was on point. I guarantee after dude drops is first LP the hype will be warranted.

as a fellow NYCer, im shocked that you deny dudes mixtape buzz and question that. Hit newmusiccartel.com and check nahright, and some other hip hop blogs. Dude wasnt even considered one of the “new stars about to blow up” by XXL and hes surpassed all those dudes.. once again off his THIRD mixtape.

Proof is proof
