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

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

haha whiney

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

whiney have you heard "find your love"?

Better than Drake:
souljaboytellem
asher roth
Tech9
Rob Base

On a Par with Drake:
Travie McCoy

yeah i think he is pretty good at doing hooks etc

i don't mind him on shit like 'i invented sex'

He's fine on that timbaland track until he gets off the hook

so basically he is a male Ashanti, is what you're saying

let's say a taller ashanti

i think there's a place for him but i just don't understand how he's just waltzed to the top of the rap industry

is there another rapper that has got to this position putting in as little work?

he put in a lot of work social network famewhoring for the attention of 16-year-old girls via MySpace and then music industry people and critics are forced to legitimize his shit "music" to maintain the illusion of a "industry"

He actually put in a lot more work than, say, Yelawolf or whatever, it's just that his music sucks balls

well yelawolf has one amazing mixtape that i know of and up until now drake has one terrible mixtape so?

i'm an 808s & hb stan tho!

yeah just checkin in to say keep up the hate and lols and i'm not sure i see the linkages between this and 808s

xpost

from what I understand, drake had an unprecedented online hustle, actively using all of social networking, reaching out to fans, basically building a working brand on the internet before wayne snatched him up, no?

yelawolf makes music
