Which of these lyrics appeal to you:

"That's right I like my girls BBW, the type that will suck you dry and then eat some lunch with you"

"All up on my phone looking at pictures from the other night, she gon' be upset if she keeps scrolling to the left, dog"

"You should print the lyrics out and have a loving read along, it ain't a loving sing along 'less you brought the weed along and juuuuuuuuuuuuust drop down and get your eagle on"

"BITCH YOU WASNT SHOOTING WITH ME IN THE GYM!!"

every true dubstep fuckboi on my newsfeed is complaining about grime being popular now, but tbh i've tried to get into grime like 8 times but all the songs i heard were poo poo. It seems like they all learned how to rap good recently, although when I go beyond the surface of what is popular now almost all of it is trash. I do get the feel that there is really good stuff somewhere, but like all euro stuff its hidden on vinyl and will never be on the internet. :(

Drake is fake and gay it shouldn't matter if he has ghost writers like every other pop star. That's my 2 Lincoln's.

Wait did you guys not hear the 10 bands reference track where the guy literally raps the same words that Drake does on his mixtape/album version? It's not kind of ghost writing lol

Also Drake still makes some awesome music and lol if you can't admit that. And also lol if you don't think Drake has written for Wayne. Not a good look but you can cherry pick bad lines from literally every rapper ever and when you read them in your own gay voice they are going to sound awful.

Seems more like Drake took it, tuned it to himself and turned it into a full song. I mean there's definitely the hook and most of the first verse in there, no doubt, but it's really unfinished. If that is ghostwriting (with that guy also being credited as co-writer of the track on the album) then Meek Mill needs to get himself a ghostwriter too and maybe he'll be worth listening to.

I expected full tracks just being completely written by another dude being rapped by Drake.

Drake is too boring to talk about in any detail. BigGhostface and the reactionaries made Drake a lot more fun than he is.



Meek is too boring to talk about in any detail. Omeeka is the best thing for both of their careers. He doesn't come off as a bad guy but he was a product of the MMG wave and we good on that.

Yeah I mean there's ghost writing and then there's "I have a buddy who I bounce ideas off of and helps me clean things up and occasionally contributes lines so I give him co-writer credit"

I kinda assume most rappers do the second thing, even if they don't always credit people for it.

Drake is just suuuuch an easy target and is super fake hard....he sings and raps at the same time and does make great music, I don't know why he tries to play the tough role instead of just embracing it.

The fact that so many people try to beef with him is a testament to his hugely successful career more than anything, but I have no idea why Meek is trying to curve Drake here...I mean anything to keep you relevant???

Meh. He's obviously not from a tough background but he really only talks like he's a goon on a few songs. And those Toronto dudes Drake hangs with are involved in some sketchy poo poo, like human trafficking poo poo. And he was/is with Birdman and co who are absolutely responsible for a lot of bodies in New Orleans. And he's got J Prince backing/being extorted by. The same Rap A Lot J Prince who Master P had to get clearance from when he wanted to kill Pimp C while he was already kidnapped with a gun to him. One of the most feared people in the music industry and those guys are eating WAAAAY too much off Drake that you'd have to have a death wish to gently caress up that cashflow, look at all the credits they have on his albums lol. Not saying he's hard by ANY means or would have anyone hurt but it's not like he couldn't if he wanted to.

Drake takes himself too seriously on a few songs but is clearly not that person outside of the music.

Welp just wrote a whole bunch of words defending Drake cya

Here make you summer better, 213 didn't get enough play in their day. Nate, Snoop and WC in the same group was nasty. Nate's best hooks are on 213s albums FYI and WC has a real nice west coast flow. I guess it was just time for G Unit and the rise of the south around then though :shrug:

Grime vocals have been improving a lot lately but you still pretty much have to listen to longform sets to find good poo poo.For some reason basically every grime vocal mixtape/ep/single/whatever is 90% bafflingly terrible poo poo with boring beats and boring hooks, especially stuff from people in the scene's old guard who aren't skepta. Theres actually been some really good things coming out from random miscellaneous teenagers on soundcloud though recently:
