Tell me if anyone agrees with me on how I feel about Drake:
I feel like he is more talented than he lets on. Being affiliated with Lil Wayne/Young Money and being pretty much a 'pop' rapper, I feel like he intentionally keeps his lyrics and flow simple and cliche to obtain the mass audience. He has a cool voice, and flashes of good ability, but in the songs I've heard he never really seems to break through as a legitimate MC, which I think he would be if he wasn't bound by the chains of... well, money. Listening to interviews with him, he sounds like a smart dude that knows what he's doing, not some moron like Lil Wayne or Plies or someone that you know is not intelligent and can't formulate any good verses or concepts. This dude seems to have his head on straight but is just stuck in that simple punch line crazy world of new "good" commercial rap. Maybe my opinions will change with this new album, but right now I'm not a fan of this guy at all.
Agree/Disagree?
