most pathetic excuse for wordplay in Young Money's "Bedrock"

heh

tbh you could do this kind of thing to a lot of good rappers too and it would still be funny.

its been said many times but the difference with drake is how he and others present him and OMG NEXT LEVEL SHIT

linked in those comments

sometimes you just have to ask yourself, are you a star or a spangled banner

also i feel i need to say that for someone apparently trading on being some sort of attractive heartthrob, drake is REALLY UGLY IN THE FACE.

another point of difference between him and justin-circa-justified

does he seriously say "toodles, bitches"?"

http://pitchfork.com/artists/10706-trey-songz/

they never knew

does he seriously say "toodles, bitches"?"

if he does, its the first likable thing I've heard from him

second good thing to come of this - i never knew the etymology of "toodles"!

A shortened, more casual version of the French expression à tout à l'heure (Anglicized as "toodle-oo"), meaning goodbye

gah feel dirty for getting annoyed by a pitchfork review about fucking drake. I'M DONE

Doc Funk = hero

btw I think it's incredibly amusing how quickly Drakehate can unite this board

ryan dombal is basically US PR for drake

my favorite thing that he's ever written about drake, is this:

punchlines like "I really can't complain, everything's kosher/ Two thumbs up, Ebert and Roeper" may not be terribly complex, but Drake's laser-guided delivery turns them into automatic catch-phrases.

which, as i pointed out on so many shrimp, makes no sense, because EBERT AND ROEPER TURNED THE PHRASE INTO AN AUTOMATIC CATCH PHRASE, HENCE THE WHOLE FREAKIN REFERENCE

i want to go around irl ending all my conversations with people by looking them directly in the eye and saying "just do it" so people will then tell their friends "wow, jordan's laser-guided delivery really turned 'just do it' into an automatic catch-phrase."

XD

looool

Drake pushes the unconsciously rockist button inside critics--the one that puts an emphasis on authenticity, struggle, and unpolished talent.

ilxor has a lot to answer for

Drake pushes the unconsciously rockist button inside critics--the one that puts an emphasis on RAPPING IN A WAY THAT IS NOT GODAWFUL FUCKING TERRIBLE

yeah it's kinda sad how his Canadian/actor/whatever background has become such an easy line of defense, oh you just don't like him because he's not street enough, that's the only reason you could possibly dislike him!

Who thinks Drake's talent is polished? Does he mean autotune?

Yeah, I mean, that Zach Baron piece is some very good blogging and I agree with alot of what he says, but like my response is like pretty much rich or poor, just about anyone raps better than Drake

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

i'd be more curious about baron's take on classism if he realized how badly dombal bends over backwards to praise Drake's douchebaggery.

like Paul Barman was str8 ivy fuckin league and I'll take his awkward nerd ass over Drake on the worst day of the week

people who rap better than Drake:
ra the rugged man (poor)
usher (rich)

usher DESTROYS drake on Fed Up
and he's USHER

is there a single person on ilx who stans for this worthless facebook whore?

I thought Jordan S was down with his "R&B" vocals?

a continued list of people who currently rap better than Drake:

Jaleel White as Steve Urkel and Bea Arthur - "Do the Urkel"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=642NoVnqWfo&feature=related

Nancy Cartwright as Bart Simpson - "Do the Bartman"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn6iFw-TkVM&feature=related

hecandoitshecandoitsocani

i generally like his r&b songs/hooks a lot, yeah

for real and for serious: weird al is a better rapper
