Has anyone so comprehensively btfo the haters before?
The term haters gets thrown around a ton, but this man was, and still is, made fun of on a regular basis.
He's now the most popular artist on the planet, and has a net worth beyond most people's wildest dreams. Seriously, there's rich and there's what Drake has now.
Please post all blessings to drizzy in this thread.
Just because he's rich doesn't mean I have to worship him
big whoop he's got sum money wanna fite about it?
Connor Roberts
>being rich means you make good art there's a flaw in this argument somewhere but i can't for the life of me point it out
Lucas Torres
You guys are missing the point. The money is just vindication that people like what he puts out, and any doubt whether or not he's made it has long gone.
It's pretty much undeniable how well he's done, and how far he's gone. The amount of artists that will achieve this level of success is a very select few, and I still think it's funny to see people say he's not the shit.
Ian Anderson
he's not the shit. Drake's is a culture vulture. and his fake accents and cringey as fuck. That being said,
"If You're Reading This It's Too Late" & "What A Time To Be Alive" are great projects.
Kayden Lopez
M8 u will never convince me the man who uses google images for his album covers is the shit.
Brandon Nelson
Wasn't this just for WATTBA?
Gabriel Taylor
Congrats, enjoying the albums Fantano tells you to enjoy. If character means so much to you, maybe try doing more research into other artists, you might discover that all that glitters is not always gold...
Xavier Rodriguez
Thank you based drizzy. May there be thicc mamis in my future
Angel Taylor
I'M BLEM SENPAI!
MORE CHUNES FOR YA HEAD TOPS YA UNRULY TINGS!
6!
David Thomas
Blem actually makes sense though
Camden Cook
Ed Sheeran > Drake
Isaiah Lee
Honestly I'm happy for him. I used to think he was kind of a cheesy faggot, but then I saw this: youtube.com/watch?v=DKqmXJtDh7Y
Eli Diaz
If you're putting effort into defending Drake or legitimizing him as an artist, you're a hopeless pleb. Only in a field of absolute trash could Drake be a serious player
OK, I don't hate Drake. I don't particularly enjoy his music, but I don't hate him.
He's like, the rap industry's token fuck boy. If you boil it down, it's that but a little sadder because Nikki still hasn't had sex with him.

Cooper Nelson
Why do you think this?
What are you reasons for disliking Drake so much that you immediately think that anyone who enjoys his music is objectively incorrect?
Michael Reyes
Softest rapper in the game three years in a row
Lucas Jackson
who held the title before aubrey?
Jayden Martinez
Because nothing Drake has ever done will be relevant within ten years
Easton Hughes
Ja Rule
Isaiah Murphy
Ja Rule was not relevant as of 4 years ago lol
Aaron Reed
This criticism makes no sense. These "hard" rappers usually define their worth and how hard they are by how much they can spend or the possessions they can buy.
Pretty much everyone else in the game is a poorfag to Drake, and these rappers are playing the exact same game he is. They do media appearances, they push their music, all to sell records, yet they're still not as successful, and never will be.
Drake clearly wasn't in it for the same reasons (something he explicitly states), but he's still passively doing better at objectives that aren't his primary ones, than most rappers do at the goal they actively pursue
Isaac Foster
This is really going to be the end of the argument eventually. I'm trying to take this as objectively as possible, but Drake is an ineffective rapper because he hasn't done anything noticeably influential.
Robert Morgan
It's a reference to Ghost Face Killa's softest rappers in the game. I think Drake has actually won the softest for the last 6 years. Ja Rule wasn't necessarily relevant, but he was still the softest rapper from like, 2002-2009.
Luke Brooks
Except for the multiple records he's broken, being the progenitor of music in a city that now somehow he gave relevance, and a cultural influence that exceeds pretty much every rapper that came before him
>in b4 muh biggie and Tupac
Purely be way of the information age we live in, no one rap artist (barring kanye) has had the cultural reach Drake has. There is a video of the current president of the United States of America dancing in a parody of his music for Christ sakes.
Try again.
Jacob Murphy
This is an entirely immature view of rap music. Being a hard rapper isn't necessarily a genre. It's more of a flow, and lyrical content.
Drake has punchlines and clever phrasing. He's the court jester of rap. Kendrick, for instance, is hard. Not because he raps about his possessions, but because he's real as fuck. Drake might be real to himself, but that doesn't mean he isn't softer than a goose down maxi pad.
Jeremiah Morgan
>no one rap artist (barring kanye) has had the cultural reach Drake has kendrick lamar, j cole, jay z
Christopher Sullivan
>that now somehow he gave relevance He didn't though. After Drake's gimmick is done, nobody is going to give a shit about Toronto unless someone big comes out of it again.
As an example, nobody really respects Seattle's music scene because they haven't had anything big since grunge. Macklemore was a one-hit wonder and those never count, btw.
Thomas Gutierrez

Are you fucking 12 years old?
Jace Fisher
Can you clear up for me what you mean by hard/soft?
He's obviously never going to be a dude straight out of Compton, but does that inhibit your ability to enjoy his music, that never tries to be straight out of Compton?
Aiden Sanchez
>the two of you >in charge of missing the point entirely
