so who does drake write for? does he write for kanye west and lil wayne? cause that one song "Forever" thats always on the radio all three of their verses sound exactly the fuckin same, like he wrote all three
and drakes lyrics are garbage, ive only heard his singing ass "successful" song and "forever" and ths what im basing this judgement on
but come on man
"last name Ever, first name greatest
like a sprained ankle boy i aint nothin to play with" <-- OH WOW hes so fuckin smart cause it kinda rhymes.. and it makes sense! you cant play when your ankle is sprained! Haha!! he must really be the greatest ever, even tho i never heard of him until now.... fuck outta here
"and your city faded off the brown, nino"
wait waht?? what the fuck does city faded off to brown mean? did he just write that shit to say "nino brown" and id think it was clever?
"she insist she got mo class, we know
swimmin in the money come and find me, nemo"
what the fuck? she insist we got mo class we know just to rhyme nemo to word play swimming in money? waste of my time
"if i was at the club you know i ball, chemo"
wait what the fuck? ball... bald? chemo? chemotherapy? hes in the club like he has cancer? those are just a couple examples of his blatant faggotry
eminem tore his verse the fuck up though and he reminded me of one of the lines he spit in that song kill you
"These mother fuckers are thinking im playing,
Thinking im saying the shit cause im thinking it just to be saying it"
thats all i can really say about drake is hes just playing and saying shit cause hes thinking it just to be saying it. i feel the same way about the rapper 'game'. ive listened to a half dozen of his radio songs and cant remember a single thing he really said, dude raps but doesnt say anything
is Drake the most complex and talented lyricist in the game?
no of course not... but he is better than A LOT of rappers out now
I'd say more than 75% of the rappers in the game don't even use multi-syllable rhyme patterns in there verses... no type of wordplay... etc...
I'm not sure what rappers you usually listen to... but I'd be interested to know... and see if they're actually more talented than Drake... coming from a lyrical standpoint
sure you got people like Royce Da 59, Crooked I, Chino XL, Tech N9ne, Eminem, Joell Ortiz... I could go on... who are better than Drake lyrically
but you have a lot more rappers who are very basic
I'm not trying to come off like some Drake groupie who's out to defend him... because honestly I rarely listen to dude... but he gets way more hate than deserved, IMO
if you wanna break it down to straight up lyricism... Drake is probably better than most of these rappers in the Bay... doesn't mean I'm listen to Drake before I listen to the Jacka or Messy Marv... but Drake has talent
