I think a recurring theme in here is that everyone should listen to what they want and you if someone likes Katy Perry and someone else likes Jay-Z then thats what they like, everyone is allowed to have their own likes and dislikes.
That being said, hey Eheath, do you like the song on here Bye Baby?I personally do. its a deep, interesting look at his breakup with his wife.
Would your opinion change if i told you your boy Drake aka Drizzy Drake aka Young Angel, Young Lion aka Champagne Papi co-wrote that song with Nas? and his producer noah 40 shebib did the production?
Chill with your butt fuck of 90's rap dude. If Nas who made as you stated the alleged best rap album of all time, can understand how good Drake is and reach out to him to make a song clearly means there is something wrong here.
People like Drake.
Hip-hop culture respects what Drake has done. It is not even a debate that So Far Gone is one the best mix tapes ever. Drake is not naive to what his predecessors have done for hip-hop and he respects that. His influences range from Outkast to the Clipse to Nas, to 9th Wonder and Phonte. He made some poppy radio singles to make some money. not the end of the world his sound is so cohesive for the most part.
You should listen to what you like and I'm glad you do. but it is wrong to bash "mainstream" artists like Lil Wayne and drake is wrong. People that listen to these guys listen to what they like too and big deal if it's not what you like.
next time you chirp anything other than the great Nas, telling people to "fuck" their music tastes why don't you open up to different genres? No one says you can't enjoy an album like Illmatic and play The Motto at a party for everyone to dance to.
My main point is that your almighty opinion of fuck this, fuck that, fuck you listen to Nas cuz he's not mainstream is wrong. Music is subjective and people as a whole need to be open to new things.
This is why hip-hop is dead. It is evolving with people like Drake, Kendrick etc. but people are so stuck in their own godly opinions that their preferred type of rap is the best thing ever and does not allow for growth and change.
