I think Drake is mediocre at best. He has ghost writers, his lyrics are slightly above subpar, he isn't original, he's just more of a mainstream, cliche rapper. Of course that's just my opinion, people like different things, I like conscious rap because it tends to have more lyrical substance, I mean, how tf can a song titled "hotline bling" become so popular when his dancing is a complete reflection of his lyrical talent? I don't see the appeal either dude smh Damn shame

He's good but he isn't great. I'm from Toronto so alot of the hype comes from that. He can rap and his lines are catchy. I just don't like his voice, it sounds so weird.

He does create fads well, and the real world respects him. In terms of rap, he's not the best, and he's not the worst, his songs are fun to listen to in cars, I guess.

People laugh at him a lot (like the hotline bling video) even if they're his fans. It's all in good fun.

You just seem like one of those contrarians that hates Drake because he's extremely popular.

In the midst of your little mini rant, you made no comment about the man's music...

If you don't like Drake, why does what attracts fans to his craft matter to you so much?

he makes bangers. do you need more appeal than that?
Um....yes?

I dont read it that way, guy just seems genuinely perplexed, Drakes alright though- not the best, weird how everybody laughs with him. It's not at him but with him

He's a pop artist who 'can' dabble in R&B. It's not necessarily that he has talent that he gets so much love, just the fact that he has so much exposure with the masses(A pop artist). He's the male version of Nicki Minaj.

No. Not really(at least i dont). I can give 0 fcks about an artists personal life (unless he chooses to reveal that in his music) and still like the artist because his music is good (I.e. bangers)

Look at kanye.
Look at chrisk brown.

He was basically bashing Drake. Lol.

That's not genuine perplexity. This was a "what the **** do you see in this lame" type of thread.
I don't think he's 'lame' it's just something i'm missing.

Anyway I was drunk when I posted this so let's not analyse too much. In fact forgetting it completely is just as viable an option.

He is a mainstream culture vulture. So if you follow the mainstream trends you're his prey. They'll play it over and over telling you everyone loves it, until you either do or hate him.

It's funny, yesterday this girl was trying to prove she was cool to me , by dissing his Hotline Bling song on the radio. Talking about how the radio plays it all of the time, and how he's not even that great but everyone hypes him. And how he's so annoying and she's tired of seeing him.

I lol'd.. I've literally heard the song like twice and he's never in my face. I'm not annoyed by him, only time I ever talk about him is when people try to prove they're cool. Which if you were, you wouldn't be talking about drake to me, you'd have more interesting things to say.

People like him cause his songs are catchy and fun to listen to. As far as lyrics and actual rap goes he isn't top tier. He has lots of fangirls due to his soft songs like "Doing it Wrong", "Marvin's Room", "Shot for Me".
