Drake is actually a pretty good rapper and a fair singer. Suck it, Asher. What's your point?

[Cofeeman]

What makes his rapping good? It's monotonous, droning, bland, and obviously a front.

[highattainlet]

Only the one I've embedded. I was reading an article on him in today's paper which embedded it.

I laughed it was so bad, then I see it's got over 12.5 million views on youtube. christ.

[bug_user]

No, he can't sing, and no, he can't act.

I take it you've never seen Degrassi

[f29sXS07]

Asher, real talk, you can't judge someone's entire ability by one song, let alone a pop single for mass consumption... although if you listened to more of his stuff, I doubt you'd like it since you just plain don't like this sort of music.

[Quonuttott]

The fact that he's on a show means that someone with a lot of money thought he could act. Who are we to argue?

Degrassi existed because of government Canadian Content regulations. It doesn't mean anyone thought he could act. It meant he fit a target minority demographic for a show with Government funding.

[Nurfzerne]

Also, Asher, as he's gotten more popular, his songs have become more simplistic and pop-friendly. This is an example of vintage Drake:

It's not your type of music but I hope you can at least appreciate Drake's talent.

Reciting trite, cliched stories in quasi-prose with a predictable cadence and an obnoxious beat in the background...sounds like every other ****ing rap song on the face of the planet.

[Niiinioa]

I'm probably the only person on here who even knows who Drake is.

[9enackivegliva]

He's even performed with Justin ****ing Bieber.


This is a good reason for me not to learn any more about him.

[Xlkl9SFd]

You're awfully obsessed with the guy, Asher. Methinks it's because you find him cute or something.

[Thorwaywhobia]

The fact that he's on a show means that someone with a lot of money thought he could act. Who are we to argue?

Tori Spelling.


ACK!

[ThzinChang]

I was so sure this thread would be about our own Drake Tungsten...

[envenonearo]

Whatever the musical genre, auto-tune is the antichrist. It's so horrible a stone could cry.

[Romobencience]

i said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop
the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

[cepAceryTem]

Drake is a media creation.

[Brareevor]

then you have answered your own OP question.

[cQT6nmEc]

i never liked the Drake

[DialOne]

indeed. how do you begin to tell the story of a black, chinese, homosexual, hickboy from butt****, nebraska and his adventures in the big city...

Your head would explode if you knew the real truth...

Spoiler: I'm not even an American, for starters!
