Today i was talking to someone and they asked who my favorite artist were. Easily, i blurted drake, then jay Z and Kanye following. HE criticized my first choice saying "Drake! he just came out, he's way over rated, why is he your favorite"... At that time, i wasnt interested in a debate, so i just simpliy said.. " He's a talented artist with great lyrics for all kinds of listeners... But if i was in the mood for it, i would have said...
Drake is not only a talented rapper, a talented singer, and lyricist, and he obviously knows how to build a great team, seeing how he did what he did, with his team on his side, without a big label contract backing him... Name someone else who did it....You can think for hours, you wont find anyone. He went from being a backpack rapper, to a household name almost over night, and he's still semi humble. You realy cant blame him for being a little cocky, he deserves the right. And he is also my favorite artist because he is the only artist, who in every single song i hear from them, i can either relate.. or im saying... "Man", then immediately put it on repeat... I think i listened to Fireworks (which is number 1 on his upcoming album, im buying 2 copies you should do the same) at least 30 times literally before i even made it to number 2.. them, i maybe listened to Karaoke(track 2) twice as much....If it wasnt for the singles that he released that i had already heard a million times, id probably still be on track 7(Unforgettable ft Jeezy)... Thats good music. Honestly i sort of feel like he should be under a new label like Roc Nation or GOOD. But then again, i dont think he will have the ability to make people rock to his music the way he does, if he wasn't under the leadership of Lil Wayne, who is a genius in his own right.
People always say "that album is weak, no where near so far gone quality".. Well yeah maybe not. But i know that i didn't have every song on repeat like i do Thank Me Later. I personally think that he just set the bar extremely high for him self when So far gone released. It was like when a unknown boxer just comes out of no where and does a TKO on a Championship fighter. Totally unexpected...
Another thing i like about this guys music, not only do you not know what you're going to get with the coming of each line.. But then the honesty in his lyrics. He isnt one of those rappers that like grew up in agated community and you always hear them rapping about how hard their life was on the streets! What?!. He speaked the truth. Back when he released Comeback Season, he wasnt afraid to talk about how he was broke, with a rolls royce. Or when he released so far gone, he talked about how he was making a come up and "getting rich twice".. Or with Thank me later, when on alot of the tracks, he talks about that girl that left him because of his fame. karaoke... In the song he talks about how at the time he chose his career over her, and she left, and he wants to go back for her, but doesnt have time, and even if he did, she wouldnt care, because she doesnt want to be with a celeb.
Every song on this album, i just sit back and think.. "Well doesnt that sound familiar".. Amazing... Well Sir, this is why he is my favorite... Can you say the same about Mr. J. Moss?.. No No you cant, i can hear him lying and saying that he can relate to atleast one part of every song by him. .. pathetic church folk..
