They might not be for everyone, but they don't have to be. Different tunes for different moods. Takes me back to the G-Unit, Dipset and Game days when I was in high school.

@@jmosworld332 Yeah, but wasn't he like a child actor or something? He was on Degrassi. You're not really starting from the bottom if you started on television.
I mean lil Wayne still makes music about lean, shooting, and tucking bad bitches, at 40 something. Yo gotta still on that hood stuff in his forties, and two chains got his start at 35 if I’m not mistaken. Age doesn’t have much to do with it really, it’s just who you are. Besides, hip hops dominoes by younger people, so I’m sure some of that might’ve rubbed off on him
@mazvitaselemani or he just getting a bag. young people are the most targeted demographic across the board. There’s a lot of money to be made appealing to 20 year olds. It’s not a “midlife crisis” to wanna stay on top and continue being number 1 in your industry. he not gonna giv up being the most popular and profitable rap artist out just to make oatmeal music that y’all gon clown him for anyways
Plot twist Drake was always corny we just tolerated as long as the hits and good slaps we’re coming. Once they stopped that corny shit became harder to conceal
Yeah as i go back in his discography, he was always corny. The masses had rose colored glasses on to even see it. Nonetheless his music was better back then so you’re right about that!
@@romaretaylor9953 Holistically? No bruh. I can see why people like some of the singles that came out of both projects but the albums as a whole no. There're a lot of misses on both projects.
I'm 23 years old and hearing in the middle of 2023 what people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s or whatever should be like is just a pathetic facet of society. I know someone about 67 yo who has a son, who dresses like us, play videogames , listens to current music and lives happily without being judged by a couple of bitter people. He is the father of my best friend. When we reach that age, i hope no one complains about the criticism you all make. 🤔
That 67 year old is an outlier. Not the norm. IN GENERAL, most people WILL NOT be the same person in their 40s, 50s and so on as they were in their 20s. And it's really not a conscious change. It just is. Family, responsibilities and general life challenges happen to us all. So, not judging you or the 67 year old -- BUT, know that you are not the first 23 year old to think about things the way that you do now. Truth is, in all likelihood, you'll change too. I was 23 once. But that was 20 years ago. And guess what? Life changes, and with it my interests, priorities, etc. have too. And that's not a bad thing. It's totally normal. And though this won't the case for all --- it will be for most. It's just the way it is.
You’re almost right. It’s not about what you “should” be doing, it’s about your priorities. The father of your best friend is a father and stable adult individual. All parts of his life are integrated; he’s into what the kids are into and he’s still a dad. People become uncomfortable, upset or judge-y when they see people try to be something they are not. Authenticity is the key.

These past few albums have felt like drake has a checklist of all the song trends he needs to hit on an album and he hops on all these trends with the least amount of effort possible
If your first experience was take care or thank me later then you’d know his peak was IYRTITL but his best was his first to albums everything after was him clinging to staying at the top of a genre that never truly accepted him.
Your thumbnail is beautifully done and the main reason why I clicked. And I thoroughly enjoyed this analysis of Drake's career. It seems like he can't accept leaving his 30s. Keep up the good work!!
That clip of him talking to Yahty proves this when he said “I just left 35” like my nigga you’re in your late 30s why are you saying it as if you’re 25 going on 26? Then when Yahty said “Yeah you getting up there” I think he really felt that.
Dawg he ain’t Michael Jackson and was robbed of his childhood 😂 nigga been living it up. And anything after 30 is too old to be walking around with clips in your hair, crying about the shallow bitches you continue to trick on. Future damn near 40 he tricks on these bitches as well but he ain’t crying on tracks about the shit.
@@Darkboi389fr he 37 with a kid now. Drake just needs to accept his age and stick to what made him great. The young tough guy act he tryna pull ain’t it
Id have disagree on all of this. Because hes not doing what yall want him to do doesn't mean he lost it. Hes doing the same shit that got him here in the first place
bingo. i dont even care to listen to his new shit but people lowkey reaching trying to force bro to act 80 or something. He's a grown dude with money living a life some of us wish we had, it is what it is
I grew up listening to 90's hip hop & Rnb, both mainstream and underground. I think it is just the current state of Hip Hop not really Drake to be honest. For all the dogs for me was more of an R&B album and it had the smoothest R&B cuts I've heard in a while. I realized why people were negative towards it because R&B fell out of the mainstream, and no one realized. Growing up, my generation had artists like Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Keith Sweat, Usher, Ne-Yo, Mario, Chris Brown, Keyshia Cole, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, etc. As for Drake, I'm honestly just happy he keeps dropping music, literally dropped a Dance, Rap, and Rnb album in like a year. He doesn't have to, but he still does. He learned from Lil Wayne and, you know, Mixtape Weezy. The problem is Mainstream hip-hop is being criticized by underground hip-hop metrics these days, and rappers either delay or don't release their music. People can't drop fun albums or experiment more because mixtapes have kind of died, which made many of these rappers lose their creative playground. As for Drake's inspiration level, I think it's super tough when you compare the artists around him when he dropped "Take Care," "Nothing Was the Same," and "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" to the artists around him now. Even just looking at the other albums that dropped at that time, the difference in quality is shocking. Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are the only artists that could push Drake, but their output is not similar to Drake. Even their collaborations with other artists are very limited. However, J. Cole has been on a tear this year and is refreshing, but I think for Kendrick, I read that he has only done two features in the past five years, one with Sir and one with Beyoncé. Right now, it feels like Drake's only competition in the mainstream is Old Drake lol.
If FAD was the best R&B you’ve heard in a while… it says 1 of 2 things: 1) the bar for real R&B must be really low and/or 2) you don’t listen to much R&B.
Take Care - IYRTITL was his peak content wise, & Views - Scorpion was his commercial peak. He really 37 now but still feels like in his 20s. Bro bout to his his 40s
He the goat now gone do what he wanna do been putting in work for 15 years same thing hov and Kanye did doing just like his idols but better like he said tim Westwood interview years ago
no, it's garbage. yall dont watch dragonball z but quick to reference it. Gohan has always been a..... SCHOLAR!!!!! He complained about fighting, never complained about studying. He's an earthling that can fight but does not want to at all. hey, i got kidnapped by my dad's alien brother, some green dude shot a hole in his and my dad's chest and now he's kidnapping me so he can train me to fight some more aliens in a year. FOH who would want more of that?? lol
@@D-money813THANK YOU. Finally someone who actually understands Gohan’s character. He never wanted to be a fighter. It’s ridiculous how such few people understand Gohan
It’s a terrible comparison imo. Gohan was forced to live up to other people’s standards and abandon his hopes of dreams while witnessing constant trauma at a young age. Now that he’s an adult, he can finally live his own life. Understand Gohan never aspired to be a fighter, he was forced to become one
Drake is free not following the curse ritual of ageism projection. People live longer and age slower. By not putting age expecting on yourself. As for peak if wanted he could push another 10 easily. But I think he just having fun being an artist and making music.
Gohan is not a good reference because my mans made a comeback in the last Dragonball movie. Every time we expect Drake to make a comeback it is a letdown.
im 42 and this drake topic has me reassesing my life. Its always easy for young niggaz to point at us and yell midlife crisis. none of us are young forever. I would love the 1.2 kids a dog and a home with a wife who isnt a ran-thu feminist, Unfortunately thats not the workd we live in. We live in an increassingly phoney world that is on a trajectorty to collapse and when it happens we will all be staring at our phone trying to record our last moments. Only to share it with no one.
I thought ppl, like me, saw Views as the beginning of the end. The first bad album of a run of bad albums. But it and Scorpion are significantly better than whatever he's doing now. So maybe 3 levels? Peak Drake (IYRTITL and before) Mid Drake (Views - Scorpion) Trash (everything else til now)
@@TruuJones i respect tht take.. I love views because it gave a glimpse to Toronto. With it's slang and it's sound and it's vibes. Plus I didn't feel it was heavy handed on the features..which is always a good thing. But I definitely get what you're saying.
“Dark lane demo tape”is his final project I consider where he understood the assignment he had something for everyone on that joint. The Chicago freestyle was his final big song imo lol. That song changed lives😂🤝🏾
@@SubNada you’re definitely right about that. Yeah the anticipation for how he was going to respond to pusha t was a pretty big deal too and even though it was a long album it was still pretty good. He definitely had to try on that project.
For all the dogs was a huge let down for the fans that have been here since 2007/2008. Maybe I’m showing my age but it’s sad seeing what he’s become these past 6 years. We’re never getting that “old drake” again. Whatever “old drake” is to the younger people is different to whatever “old drake” was to the older fan base that built him up. It was a fun ride though. RIP Drizzy
To be honest adults should be able to dress the way they feel, weather or not its deemed inappropriate for their age you only have one life and there's no rule that says you must dress Ina suit and tie when you reach age 30
He's made multiple songs that I've enjoyed over the years. It will never cease to confuse me when people suggest he's the "greatest artist of our generation" or "greatest rapper of all time" or anything like that. I don't see anything about what he does that's moving enough for people to believe that. Just as a critical music fan of many genres, including hip hop, I don't get it at all. Super weird. He's alright. A very famous pop star, but we have better pop stars. A mediocre r and b guy, but we most definitely have MUCH better ones, obviously. A decent rapper, but we DEFINITELY have better, he has never amazed me in the rap arena ever... Maybe just good beats and decent flows. Nothing profound. He mimics many styles decently, but doesn't originate nor truly master any of them, and this is yall goat? Wild. I really don't get how he got this big
Nahhh… nah nothing can make Will Smith seem respectable after all that sht with his wife, & them saying he be getting smashed & smashing that one male actor, ion think anything would make Will Smith respectable… nah i take that back Diddy make Will look respectable
Drake is acting his age and all the criticism comes down to people not understanding. You do not have to act a certain way at a certain age. That type of thinking is very immature and closed-minded. When you grow up you learn by making mistakes and pass it on to the youngins. He is also taking updated sounds to stay relevant. ALOT of rappers do not do this and end up falling off. Drake saw this and did not want to go down that route.I think you had some excellent points in this video but some of the points you made were not consistent and showed a lack of being close minded.
agreed, it's just that he's still talking about relationships, money, and whatever other thing in such an immature tone to the point where he sounds like he learned NOTHING from the past 20 years of his life. also, keep in mind that most rappers don't really have that 'touch' to make them stay relevant with today's charts. Yes, a lot of rappers try to stay relevant with today's sound but the thing about Drake is that he naturally knows what makes people listen more, gain entertainment, and get played in more diverse places. But if you were to take that away from him, he's biting styles, lingo, and flows left and right (KMT for example).
@@joshpepper902relationships and money are universal topics. Maturity raps, the kids of any generation will never fuck with. Drake playing the long pop game and its working 😂
I like your video but it is based on the idea that being youthful in your style and attitude while not being as young as your "prime" is not right. And his style now is much better in my opinion, wtf is wrong with space boots i love em and i'm 25 lol. Besides that, he keeps learning from the youth culture instead of being the typical old ass douchebag that thinks his era was the best and bla bla bla
On “No Lie” he says it was only once… which might be worse, because one time doesn’t warrant all the stuff he kept doing. He could treat it like a W the way his fans think H6 being the last beef song is somehow a W. But nooooooo
@SubNada this dude is wondering why Drakes sound changes so much and it's because of ghostwriters...but they even entertaining that being the reason. When he was around Travis his music was stadium music, when he was around the weeknd he was singing, when he was around Party next door he did his Jafakin thing. That's my point.
Back in the day Artists could at least write their own disses. But hey, why do it when we can outsource it from a third party? It's more profitable to have 2 specialized workers than a single, complete, artist.

Plot twist Drake was always corny we just tolerated as long as the hits and good slaps we’re coming. Once they stopped that corny shit became harder to conceal
Yeah I went back to his earlier albums and for the life of me couldn't find out what people liked so much about them. But he's always had hits.
This is correct
@@edwina.364you don’t get why people liked so far gone or take care or NWTS? Seriously? 😂
Yeah as i go back in his discography, he was always corny. The masses had rose colored glasses on to even see it. Nonetheless his music was better back then so you’re right about that!
@@romaretaylor9953 Holistically? No bruh. I can see why people like some of the singles that came out of both projects but the albums as a whole no. There're a lot of misses on both projects.
Ay Mustard on the beat yo 😂
6 months later………..
I'm 23 years old and hearing in the middle of 2023 what people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s or whatever should be like is just a pathetic facet of society.
I know someone about 67 yo who has a son, who dresses like us, play videogames , listens to current music and lives happily without being judged by a couple of bitter people.
He is the father of my best friend. When we reach that age, i hope no one complains about the criticism you all make. 🤔
Like for real I thought since we grown we can do what we want
That 67 year old is an outlier. Not the norm. IN GENERAL, most people WILL NOT be the same person in their 40s, 50s and so on as they were in their 20s. And it's really not a conscious change. It just is. Family, responsibilities and general life challenges happen to us all. So, not judging you or the 67 year old -- BUT, know that you are not the first 23 year old to think about things the way that you do now. Truth is, in all likelihood, you'll change too. I was 23 once. But that was 20 years ago. And guess what? Life changes, and with it my interests, priorities, etc. have too. And that's not a bad thing. It's totally normal. And though this won't the case for all --- it will be for most. It's just the way it is.
You’re almost right. It’s not about what you “should” be doing, it’s about your priorities.
The father of your best friend is a father and stable adult individual. All parts of his life are integrated; he’s into what the kids are into and he’s still a dad.
People become uncomfortable, upset or judge-y when they see people try to be something they are not. Authenticity is the key.
@@foodiusmaximusfacts... like I have 2 kids and I'm about 2 be 30. The last 2 years NY 2 YT channels blow tf up and I'm finally making hella bread and quit my jobs. My BM was hating saying grow up cus I be having fun and I'm like what? Cus I'm basically 30 I gotta not have fun. The kids is hella taken care of... I get them every weekend... all bills and my moms is taken care of like ima do wtf i want. I went on 3 semi Vacas this year 2 with the kids and she's like "life ain't supposed to be fun" idk this mentality ppl get just cus you get older life is supposed to be dry is crazy. If I'm still doing decent at 50 ima still be doing wtf I want idc
@@foodiusmaximusyou don’t know drake at all lmao.
I love reading upset Drake fan's comments after the Beef
the stupid new hairstyle every 6 months is hilarious to me ngl lol.. I hope he keeps doin it
ngl that clip of drake sitting in leslie jones' lap was funny
These past few albums have felt like drake has a checklist of all the song trends he needs to hit on an album and he hops on all these trends with the least amount of effort possible
If your first experience was take care or thank me later then you’d know his peak was IYRTITL but his best was his first to albums everything after was him clinging to staying at the top of a genre that never truly accepted him.
I’m not a Drake fan but Take Care was his peak
Your thumbnail is beautifully done and the main reason why I clicked. And I thoroughly enjoyed this analysis of Drake's career. It seems like he can't accept leaving his 30s.
Keep up the good work!!
Aye appreciate that ! 🙏🏾
That clip of him talking to Yahty proves this when he said “I just left 35” like my nigga you’re in your late 30s why are you saying it as if you’re 25 going on 26? Then when Yahty said “Yeah you getting up there” I think he really felt that.
@@Darkboi389 36 is still mid 30s bro, that’s not too old to have fun but I get it it’s not 25
Dawg he ain’t Michael Jackson and was robbed of his childhood 😂 nigga been living it up. And anything after 30 is too old to be walking around with clips in your hair, crying about the shallow bitches you continue to trick on. Future damn near 40 he tricks on these bitches as well but he ain’t crying on tracks about the shit.
@@Darkboi389fr he 37 with a kid now. Drake just needs to accept his age and stick to what made him great. The young tough guy act he tryna pull ain’t it
Id have disagree on all of this. Because hes not doing what yall want him to do doesn't mean he lost it. Hes doing the same shit that got him here in the first place
Nah he just need to act his age. Still trying to cling onto his youth for too long. Pushing 40 soon
It's a two way street.
bingo. i dont even care to listen to his new shit but people lowkey reaching trying to force bro to act 80 or something.
He's a grown dude with money living a life some of us wish we had, it is what it is
@@ayamurayama3961doubt he needs to take advice from you 😂
He really needs to mature at this point
I grew up listening to 90's hip hop & Rnb, both mainstream and underground. I think it is just the current state of Hip Hop not really Drake to be honest. For all the dogs for me was more of an R&B album and it had the smoothest R&B cuts I've heard in a while. I realized why people were negative towards it because R&B fell out of the mainstream, and no one realized. Growing up, my generation had artists like Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Keith Sweat, Usher, Ne-Yo, Mario, Chris Brown, Keyshia Cole, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, etc.
As for Drake, I'm honestly just happy he keeps dropping music, literally dropped a Dance, Rap, and Rnb album in like a year. He doesn't have to, but he still does. He learned from Lil Wayne and, you know, Mixtape Weezy. The problem is Mainstream hip-hop is being criticized by underground hip-hop metrics these days, and rappers either delay or don't release their music. People can't drop fun albums or experiment more because mixtapes have kind of died, which made many of these rappers lose their creative playground.
As for Drake's inspiration level, I think it's super tough when you compare the artists around him when he dropped "Take Care," "Nothing Was the Same," and "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" to the artists around him now. Even just looking at the other albums that dropped at that time, the difference in quality is shocking. Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are the only artists that could push Drake, but their output is not similar to Drake. Even their collaborations with other artists are very limited. However, J. Cole has been on a tear this year and is refreshing, but I think for Kendrick, I read that he has only done two features in the past five years, one with Sir and one with Beyoncé. Right now, it feels like Drake's only competition in the mainstream is Old Drake lol.
That’s a really good take 💯
If FAD was the best R&B you’ve heard in a while… it says 1 of 2 things: 1) the bar for real R&B must be really low and/or 2) you don’t listen to much R&B.
Drakes competition is his own arrogant ego
Take Care - IYRTITL was his peak content wise, & Views - Scorpion was his commercial peak. He really 37 now but still feels like in his 20s. Bro bout to his his 40s
I like that take I can agree with that 💯
He the goat now gone do what he wanna do been putting in work for 15 years same thing hov and Kanye did doing just like his idols but better like he said tim Westwood interview years ago
Nigga Hov wasn’t making childish music at 36 😂 Hov was on his grown man shit pretty much from Blue Print onward

MEET THE GRAHAMS
Good Lord, he’s an entertainer. Entertainment has no age barriers. That’s why he’s the most successful mf
Exactly the man has to entertain the masses to make money ( which he has,alot) . The man is just hustling
This shit is aging like fucking gold 7 months later
Would the real Drake please stand up. He doesn’t even know.
Drake is not real. It's a role played by troubled actor Aubrey Graham.
That Gohan example is spot on!
They massacred my boy 🤦♂️
no, it's garbage. yall dont watch dragonball z but quick to reference it. Gohan has always been a..... SCHOLAR!!!!! He complained about fighting, never complained about studying. He's an earthling that can fight but does not want to at all. hey, i got kidnapped by my dad's alien brother, some green dude shot a hole in his and my dad's chest and now he's kidnapping me so he can train me to fight some more aliens in a year. FOH who would want more of that?? lol
When he was young and into fighting was d first aspect ur just talking shit@@D-money813
@@D-money813THANK YOU. Finally someone who actually understands Gohan’s character. He never wanted to be a fighter. It’s ridiculous how such few people understand Gohan
1:32 24 year old ❌ 20 four year olds✅
😂😂
Drake being Gohan is honestly the best comparison that could be made
It’s a terrible comparison imo. Gohan was forced to live up to other people’s standards and abandon his hopes of dreams while witnessing constant trauma at a young age. Now that he’s an adult, he can finally live his own life. Understand Gohan never aspired to be a fighter, he was forced to become one
Drake is free not following the curse ritual of ageism projection. People live longer and age slower. By not putting age expecting on yourself. As for peak if wanted he could push another 10 easily. But I think he just having fun being an artist and making music.
Don’t do Gohan like that
His ghost-writers had bars, not him.
Gohan is not a good reference because my mans made a comeback in the last Dragonball movie. Every time we expect Drake to make a comeback it is a letdown.
Whats the name of the movie
@@juniornkuna6409 dragon Ball super hero
im 42 and this drake topic has me reassesing my life. Its always easy for young niggaz to point at us and yell midlife crisis. none of us are young forever. I would love the 1.2 kids a dog and a home with a wife who isnt a ran-thu feminist, Unfortunately thats not the workd we live in. We live in an increassingly phoney world that is on a trajectorty to collapse and when it happens we will all be staring at our phone trying to record our last moments. Only to share it with no one.
This video is gonna blow up
A wild legend appears
Definitely different levels of drake. I think views drake was peek
Yeah I think most people go with views as their last good album
Scorpion
I thought ppl, like me, saw Views as the beginning of the end. The first bad album of a run of bad albums. But it and Scorpion are significantly better than whatever he's doing now.
So maybe 3 levels? Peak Drake (IYRTITL and before) Mid Drake (Views - Scorpion) Trash (everything else til now)
@@TruuJones i respect tht take.. I love views because it gave a glimpse to Toronto. With it's slang and it's sound and it's vibes. Plus I didn't feel it was heavy handed on the features..which is always a good thing. But I definitely get what you're saying.
“Dark lane demo tape”is his final project I consider where he understood the assignment he had something for everyone on that joint. The Chicago freestyle was his final big song imo lol. That song changed lives😂🤝🏾
I actually enjoyed that tape but I think scorpion was just higher level
@@SubNada you’re definitely right about that. Yeah the anticipation for how he was going to respond to pusha t was a pretty big deal too and even though it was a long album it was still pretty good. He definitely had to try on that project.
@@SubNadamy problem with scorpion was how saturated it was with songs, I liked how much more concise dark lanes was. To each his own tho
This aged like fine wineeeeeeeee.
Just dont come outside anymore Drake.
For all the dogs was a huge let down for the fans that have been here since 2007/2008. Maybe I’m showing my age but it’s sad seeing what he’s become these past 6 years. We’re never getting that “old drake” again. Whatever “old drake” is to the younger people is different to whatever “old drake” was to the older fan base that built him up. It was a fun ride though. RIP Drizzy
Video aged well. Just change 24 year old girl to 17 years 364 days 23 hours 59 minutes old girl
To be honest adults should be able to dress the way they feel, weather or not its deemed inappropriate for their age you only have one life and there's no rule that says you must dress Ina suit and tie when you reach age 30
istg bro do we just gotta be dead inside when we reach 30 now?
Jus let the MF live💀
😂😂😂
here after the beef lol
i agree with you Drake peaked at scorpion
You mean hes not 25 sittin on 25 mill anymore? 😂😂😂so tacky when rappers announce whats in their banks anyway🙄
or drakes just having fun at this point in his career and just enjoying life 🤔
Bro just described what a midlife crisis is
@@yungyahpano you’re just stupid
@yungyahpa having fun and enjoying life is not a crisis lol
@@yungyahpa having fun at 37 is a midlife crisis now?
I feel like Drake's Just rich and he's living life doing what he wants
He's made multiple songs that I've enjoyed over the years. It will never cease to confuse me when people suggest he's the "greatest artist of our generation" or "greatest rapper of all time" or anything like that. I don't see anything about what he does that's moving enough for people to believe that. Just as a critical music fan of many genres, including hip hop, I don't get it at all. Super weird. He's alright. A very famous pop star, but we have better pop stars. A mediocre r and b guy, but we most definitely have MUCH better ones, obviously. A decent rapper, but we DEFINITELY have better, he has never amazed me in the rap arena ever... Maybe just good beats and decent flows. Nothing profound. He mimics many styles decently, but doesn't originate nor truly master any of them, and this is yall goat? Wild. I really don't get how he got this big
Drake out here making will smith look respectable by comparison
Nahhh… nah nothing can make Will Smith seem respectable after all that sht with his wife, & them saying he be getting smashed & smashing that one male actor, ion think anything would make Will Smith respectable… nah i take that back Diddy make Will look respectable
"Will smith fucked jaden"-Jaguar Wright
Drake is acting his age and all the criticism comes down to people not understanding. You do not have to act a certain way at a certain age. That type of thinking is very immature and closed-minded. When you grow up you learn by making mistakes and pass it on to the youngins. He is also taking updated sounds to stay relevant. ALOT of rappers do not do this and end up falling off. Drake saw this and did not want to go down that route.I think you had some excellent points in this video but some of the points you made were not consistent and showed a lack of being close minded.
His music has become a little immature and toxic. Acting his age isn't something to be ashamed of.
agreed, it's just that he's still talking about relationships, money, and whatever other thing in such an immature tone to the point where he sounds like he learned NOTHING from the past 20 years of his life.
also, keep in mind that most rappers don't really have that 'touch' to make them stay relevant with today's charts. Yes, a lot of rappers try to stay relevant with today's sound but the thing about Drake is that he naturally knows what makes people listen more, gain entertainment, and get played in more diverse places. But if you were to take that away from him, he's biting styles, lingo, and flows left and right (KMT for example).
@@joshpepper902relationships and money are universal topics. Maturity raps, the kids of any generation will never fuck with. Drake playing the long pop game and its working 😂
@@traplover6357 those were just a couple of off-the-top examples. I pretty much agree wit u
"The actor we once knew now is spiralling"
"Fuck a rap battle this a life long battle with yourself"
same w nicki tbh
Why you say that lol
this has aged so well. YOU WIN SIR!!!
He is big with the help of the system
The MOMENT the beef is over, all these months old videos just popped up like crazy. Drake career was over waaay before the beef even started.
I also really liked scorpion, hotline bling, passionfruit. I wasnt a fan but they were good songs and album! But he's total clownshoes atp
The Gohan slander is atrocious. Blasphemy.
He was my goat till he put them big ass glasses on
I like your video but it is based on the idea that being youthful in your style and attitude while not being as young as your "prime" is not right. And his style now is much better in my opinion, wtf is wrong with space boots i love em and i'm 25 lol. Besides that, he keeps learning from the youth culture instead of being the typical old ass douchebag that thinks his era was the best and bla bla bla
Drake never slept with rihanna
No way
On “No Lie” he says it was only once… which might be worse, because one time doesn’t warrant all the stuff he kept doing. He could treat it like a W the way his fans think H6 being the last beef song is somehow a W. But nooooooo
I am waiting for Drake and Taylor to just dissapear from everything. Most overrated "artists" that milk kids for attention.
Shambles was the perfect word to end this video
Once your generation starts to accept that ghostwriters exist things will make more sense to you
They always been around I don’t think that’s a secret
@SubNada this dude is wondering why Drakes sound changes so much and it's because of ghostwriters...but they even entertaining that being the reason. When he was around Travis his music was stadium music, when he was around the weeknd he was singing, when he was around Party next door he did his Jafakin thing. That's my point.
Back in the day Artists could at least write their own disses.
But hey, why do it when we can outsource it from a third party?
It's more profitable to have 2 specialized workers than a single, complete, artist.
*And then enters Kendrick 😂
