Does Drake really just rap about the same thing on every song?

They don't love Wiz like that. [pic] You're better off using Jay-Z or Eminem as an example. Those are two people bx love.

Doesn't every rapper rap about the same thing with a few songs made for !!es[pic]

Isn't it better he rap about what he knows rather than being like majority of rappers who claim to be thugs and drug dealers

A person who's real >>>>> than a fraud

^You can rap about the same things but you have to atleast vary your style,he litterally sounds the same on basically every song no matter what he is on about,

19k outside America proves that people outside that country can see past hype when the hype aint real

Anyone who now thinks his buzz was like 50`s in 03 needs to rethink things in a major way

If you want to be the biggest rapper in the world you have to be the biggest rapper in the world(no irony)

If people here like Kanyes stuff so much why dont they like Drakes AT ALL?They are fairly similar in the type of music they make.

What the !! do Rihanna and Beyonce have to do with hip hop?

When i look at the crap people over there listen to(eg Thank me later)i wonder how you can question the level of rappers that sell well globally

I doubt any of them even know who Drake is when he is so huge here..thats how far removed from it they are. Its not just with Drake..its with every other rapper who makes good music that falls of deaf ears over there besides the 4 i mentioned...

People all around the world hear rappers that are hyped up on internet message boards,mtv etc,the internet lets everyone check for any rapper that is being quoted as the next big thing like Drake was.

He has songs with big global rappers people would of heard aswell.

Everyone knew Wayne did a million in the US and lots of people would of atleast checked the cd but it was trash and nobody bought it

drake's best !! was so far gone easy. i listened to his album to give it a chance and everything really does seem the same on each track.

good question

This is hating in its finest. niccas is watchin drake's music like that? lol That what art is. You can listen to many different artists in any genre and they basically sayin the same !! over, but in different ways. Thats what makes an artist good in my opinion. The ability to actually make music about the same !! but in different ways musically that sound good is talent.(not speakin for drake, but artists in general). I dunno about every single song because I don't know Drake's catalog like that even tho I'm a fan. Drake justs peakin what he know I guess.

If niccas paid attention to others' lyrics like they doin to this kid's lyrics, they will say the same !! lol.

All your logic is flawed...you're usually spot on with Eminem logic, but when it comes to Drake its totally flawed...funny eh?

How did Kanye get big globally?

Anyone with a passing interest in present day rap would have heard of Drake and would of heard some of his music and obviously they didnt like it.

06-26-2010, 04:34 PM

Im using Kanye as an example cause he is fond of singing and autotune just as much as Drake

Even though i dont agree at all atleast now you are getting somewhere,you are essentiality saying because people think Kanye is dope is the reason they buy his albums.We think Wayne and Drake are !! and there numbers reflect that

ok, feel free to get the !! out of my thread, your opinion is obviously worthless if you think that statement to be true

He's not big globally only in USA? That means he is garbage?

50 Cent is currently big everywhere, except here in the USA.

06-26-2010, 04:38 PM

A lil bit.. But he def sounds the same on every song

Recovery is a much better album, but let's not point throw Drake in a concentration camp just yet...

how Eminem get into this thread?

Rappers have to be good to get global attention

Its the same with the musicians in the UK(not rappers just musicians in general)that do really well there but tend to fall to pieces when they try to crack America,its obviously not easy to get global appeal but plenty of artists and rappers have it sussed.

19k is pitiful you can try and counter everything i say but the bottomline is that is woeful and he did promote his album in the UK

06-26-2010, 05:15 PM

again, note that basically no one can even disagree with me: they are just deflecting by saying "but, but, but, all rappers do that!!!"
