    "I mean no stomach but I came straight out the gut (out the gutter!!)"

    I wonder whose idea it was to basically rework a thug song into live from the gutter

    :hmmmmm:

    Don't see a problem with what I said. You've been saying that for awhile now.

    wpg out of anyone knows how to be objective. he gets paid to do that. if he hates drake its probably for good reason. and regardless, it won't effect him/or any critic like him giving a fair reading of a project including the artist

    Well I haven't seen anything on IYRTITL, not sure if you wrote about it or not. I was speaking more to your comments about him being a fraud last week, and I saw a comment ITT about you hating him.

    but he is a fraud, and that's speaking objectively. this is a guy with no discernible style of his own who poorly imitates and waters down the styles created by more talented, less famous artists. that's the definition of being a fraud, never mind the ghostwriting.

    Just had my first listen and the tape is solid. Not a big future fan but i listened with a very open mind and future was better than i expected. Drake was very consistent and the need for views is growing immensely right now. I wish there was a track where they both went in and were trading bar for bar. Nonetheless the tape will get more spins without a doubt.

    Who was he imitating during SFG era? IMO his style has been evolving since then. I know you mentioned him stealing from The Weeknd on Take Care, but Drake's style had been established before that. Abel clearly influenced and helped him with that record, I just think you're selling him short by saying his whole style isn't original. There weren't a lot of rapper/singers who made good music when he was coming up.

    Drake fell off. This is common knowledge right?

    I may be wrong, but I do remember him paying homage to a lot of the rappers he bit off of earlier in his career. Nickelus F, Little Brother, Big Sean, etc.

    EDIT: I'm not excusing anything you said though because you're probably right.
