Apr 5, 2016 i'm talking generally. i feel like i get what you say about other rappers--even when we disagree, e.g. j. cole. so i'm always confused that you're such a staunch supporter of drake, who is so obviously and consistently mediocre (or, frequently, worse). i'm not talking about this thread necessarily. it's funny you call my "hate" "over-the-top"--i feel like i've laid out in pretty measured terms my issues with his music, where you, who are usually detailed and thorough in how you talk about music, kind of recede into jokes and memes in defense of him? i know you're doing it for comic effect, and i know you have a more fleshed-out opinion on him, i just think it's an odd card to play.
Apr 5, 2016 okay, well: first of all, i don't like j cole. anyone from j cole nation can attest to that. i liked j cole, in fact, when he dropped Friday Night Lights, he was my favourite rapper. but 2 terrible studio albums followed by a mediocre one has pushed him out of my top 20 as of right now. and he'll never make it back, dude is corny to me. as for drake, if i had to pick only 100 albums that i had to listen to for the rest of my life, both take care and nothing was the same would be on there. you can laugh at that, given that you probably heard 100 albums in the first quarter of this year alone, but i haven't. i'm a casual when it comes to music. and as a casual, i enjoy drake's music heavily. if you honestly asked me if drake was in my top 5, no. top 10, nope. but if you asked me, "hey hasman what 3 artists would u take a new album from rn if u had a choice?" my answer would be kanye, YG and then drake. it's really not that serious, but a lot of it gets escalated by comments like "ur so stupid for liking hotline bling" the same way narsh's hate for kendrick is escalated because of all the TPAB d-ck riding. it's never as serious as i let on, the only artist i'm that passionate about is kanye because to me, he has had a more profound impact on my life than tupac did. i've criticized drake on this site more in-depth on this site than the people in this thread quoting tweets or calling him corny for having a s-----y channing tatum bar tho, but those posts are probably lost somewhere between all the semi-sarcastic "drake is goat" and "why is drake so hype at this" posts.
Apr 5, 2016 I swear 90% of the people on this forum dont understand sarcasm or banter. Like they take everything 100% serious.
