vastly overrated


I dont get the hype at all. He isnt bad or anything but I just have yet to hear a single thing that makes him stand out as above average and definitely not the greatest of all time like so many people seem to think

I played the new Bieber song ("sorry" or something like that) and people thought it was Drake at first.

Drake's voice is somewhat like Steve Urcle because he went down on Rihanna and caught a strange voice-modifying bacterial infection which originated from Chris Brown's penis. So therefore by extension, Chris Brown was behind all of this.

Drake's voice has always got on my nerves...and I don't understand why people think he is a lyrical genius. Yeah, he's better than 99% of mainstream hip-hop, but that's not saying much these days.

And Kanye is great, he's just been slowly losing his mind for the last six or seven years.

sure

but the big difference would be that nobody is trying to claim macklemore is a great MC...or am i mistaken about that?

You appreciate the early era of hip hop and it has changed. Get over yourself. You can't say college basketball teams suck because old school UCLA teams were so much better. You have to compare them to their current competition.

you can say it, and you would be correct. the best players only stay in college for 1 year nowadays

But that is irrelevant when discussing "overrated". Ratings/rankings are relative based on comparable competition. If Drake is overrated, which he could be then you need to support that stance by talking about all of the current rappers who are better than him.

Music is timeless. I can compare Bieber and Beethoven if I want.

And unlike your horrible athletics analogy, artists can get better with age, while every single athlete will always eventually physically deteriorate as they get older. Big Daddy Kane can still spit some iller shit on the microphone than Drake, for example

nobody cares about what big daddy kane is spitting anymore because it has run its course. that time has passed. people appreciate old art but want NEW art.

People appreciate shakespeare but HAMILTON is whats hot now. Does that mean Hamilton is more sophisticated than shakespeare? No. Does that mean hamilton is overrated? no. Its an irrelevant argument.

There can't be multiple generations of pioneers. Hip Hop can't proliferate itself twice. It has already arrived so what was done back then literally can't be done again within the same genre.

IF someone comes out today and does exactly what Beethoven did they won't go anywhere. That time is over.

BDK still sells out all his shows so I guess people still care about him

meanwhile you seem to be the only one who likes Drake. Well, you and some teenage girls.

What kind of broken thought process do you have to come to the conclusion that I think BDK is selling more records in 2015 than Drake?

If its truly due to my lack in comprehension skills then who are the teenage girls in this thread?

Sounds like a backtrack to me....or very poor writing.

common figure of speech. not meant to be taken literally. "A relatively insignificant number of people care" if you want the literal translation of this device.

Lots of teenage girls like Drake. That's the majority of his fanbase. Doesn't change the fact that Big Daddy Kane writes new lyrics (omg) and is still better than your boy Drizzy.

I'd like to see evidence supporting this and even though I don't believe it, I'm still trying to figure out why teenage girls somehow don't count as legitimate consumers. Is it 1915 or 2015?

You should try harder to convince me that I'm not allowed to compare musicians whose careers started earlier with more modern musicians.

Even if I forget about two of the craziest components of your argument. The idea that the number of active (purchasing BDK fans is greater than Drake fans(his female fans age 13-19) is still pretty absurd.

my argument was guys like BDK are better than Drake. but you said i couldn't make that argument because nobody cares about BDK. which seems odd, considering he still tours and sells out shows.

I said you couldn't make that argument because times change and they are from two completely different eras. If BDK came out today, you could make that argument but its apples and oranges.

Nostalgia transcends sports. Some people just never move on from what they grew up with no matte what.

Are they world tours or his girls tours?

If he sells out a 10 person venue, it still destroys your claim that nobody cares about what he is spitting

He hasn't released a new single in like 17 years and you still don't understand a typical figure of speech.

Drake and Rick Ross are the two biggest frauds in the rap history. They are banned from all of my music playing devices. For life.
