I actually agree with that, the mainstream hip hop is changing: Game released a concept album (for the first time ?), J. Cole released a rap song without the usual catchy chorus, Drake is trying to release more "hip hop" songs with real content... hopefully, Eminem, Jay-z and the others don't go pop on their album :flutter:


You should really stop mentionning Asap or Kendrick lol

This wasn't very good at all.

My problem with Drake (aside from just not caring for his music) is that nothing about the man seems authentic. He's a guy manufacturing a product that people will buy and he can get rich off of. That's great, there's nothing wrong with that...if you're making shoes. Or mousetraps...or fucking cheeseburgers.

But if you call yourself an artist? If you can seriously talk about "your work" like it's a serious artistic endeavor, or a true representation of yourself...then you can't have the above mindset. There's nothing wrong with being adaptable, but do it in a sincere way. To hear Drake talk about "Starting From The Bottom", and speaking about being "hungry" kind of irritates me. Beyond that, his style doesn't seem to change in a natural way, an evolutionary manner. It seems to alter based on what he thinks will sell, period.

Good for him. Good for people that listen to him and like his music. I don't though, and I think I might dislike this song more than anything I've ever heard from him.

If you like this song.. then you should just jump off a cliff, The beat is good, I'll give ya that. But really?!?! It is VERY repetitive and VERY boring. Saying "Started from the bottom now we here" EIGHT TIMES. That is this number >>>> 8 <<<< Just to let you know, is not going to make it a GREAT FIRST SINGLE. I think the song sucks monkey balls.

Hahaha IBasicallyRage, the 15 year old schoolboy who has trouble accepting that other people have different music tastes. It's okay though, we can wait for you to drop your balls.

Take Care IS a great album. Not a masterpiece though. Too many fillers for a masterpiece.

The beat, however, is dope.
