Not that this will save the music industry any more than Justin Bieber will, but it is fun to see an ‘event’ in terms of new music for the kids.
Drake is cementing the return of the lightskint dominance. Shout outs to Grant Hill, Tony Dungy, Shemar Moore, Alfonso Ribiero, Christoper Williams, Cockroach, and of course, the patron saint of lightskintedness: Al B. Sure
Giggly cute tenderonies, and fans saying fux that leak& waiting for the release…..I love it. Drake is definitely not losing.
Hilarious how any dude out there with a lawn chair suddenly feels like an outed fayg when the camera is on.
So lemme say this. I think you have accurately captured The Jewlatto Canuck’s audience well. TEENS, TWEENS, & TWENNIE SOMETHINGS. So basically this music is not made for me, and those I who I regularly kick it with. Therefore my missing of this “event” is actually a more normal behavior, than those outside of Drake’s target demographic clamoring for its greatness. If you’re a male born before 1980 riding around bumping Drake you should be banned from coming within 1000 feet of a school.
Now people are going to misconstrue this as “hate” because most feebleminded people or those who think listening to Drake and these other kiddies is some sort of “Fountain of Youth Serum” for their aging lives. However I’m not mad at lil homie. Get yours and be a star for your generation. I’ll stick to the relatively “unsexy” world of my “old guy” rap. There’s room for everyone. Props to Drake for being the icon for Rap’s New Generation.
Co-sign 40 (for Mayor!)… I couldn’t give even half a shit about Drake other than DP’s use of (II) as riff vehicle… I’m all for aesthetic plurality too but it’s something of a motherfucking shame to compare discussion of Drake in any sense to Nas + Damian Marley, which isn’t perfect but is often astounding. I’m hoping sidewalk sales gets this heard by both the hip-hop and reggae/dancehall crowd more than just the #s suggest.
Sidenote: will anyone who bought or dl’d “Wu Massacre” ever listen to it again? Damn them for phoning (almost all of) that in.
@40….umm yeah we should hate on Drake, as the grown men in this joint we need to school the young ins so they realize that the Drakes, Hammers, and ‘Tag Team’ are not music, its just rhythmic noise.
We never heard from dem franchise boys again right? We did our job!!!
@Willis – Your cosigns and supporting statements have you as my campaign manager and in my cabinet.
@Lion – LOL! You’re probably right, but the this monster might be unstoppable and just let it fall off on its own accord. This dude is Nelly, 50, etc. He’s the only rapper that hasn’t begged to a track with Susan Boyle. Again I’m not mad at the youngin, not trying to be the bitter vet, because he’s got some talent, but I’ve officially found the most major case for drawing a significant generational gap line.
@ Dallas – You have that witty unpredictable talent & natural game. I also give you free “reign” (Chris Rios RIP always intended) over the newly coined term Jewlatto.
How many of these golden era artists have their supporters (you three, starting with 40) running to the store for a CD within the first 72 hours of its release?
And how many of you would wait outside the damn store for it in a chair?
The kid is playing the game right and is going to WIN. The lineup was AROUND the block downtown T.O today.
MrThoro – I’m a grown ass man, when Nas & Damian Marley dropped I went to iTunes and copped it. My days of waiting outside for anything from albums, to sneakers, to video games, or concert tickets have long passed, that doesn’t mean my support for these things has waned or “fallen off”. When I see Golden Era artists while I’m out and about I stop, give my respect, and if they’re up for the conversation I talk to them for a while about what they’ve done and what they’re doing. I’ll take it beyond hip-hop, as much as I LOVE Sade, when her first studio album dropped in almost a decade I wasn’t going to wait for days to see her, but I bought the album all the same. The point is I’ve grown up and most of my peers have as well. If I had one of my 35 year old (or older) homies waiting outside for days to see Drake I’m gonna wonder about homie. Which leads me to say – YOUR POINT IS FUCKING MOOT.
If you read my initial post I said I wasn’t made at old boy, its just a sign of a new generation of rap fans. When I was in my teens I would have stood out for hours to meet rapper of my choice. When I was 13 I waited for three hours just to shake Run DMC’s hand at an in store at The Wiz. I’ve moved on from that chamber, and I’m happy for young boy if he has that kind of fan dedication as I said in my first post. You can actually scroll up and see I gave him props for being his generations big star.
So your need to get froggy comes from where? Are you of the feebleminded I speak of? I don’t prescribe to the tribalism of rap, that I’m supposed to give props to whoever it is because its rap and they’re the current “IT BOY”. Just because its rap doesn’t mean I have to follow it. I didn’t expect my old man to like New Edition, as much as my little cousins didn’t expect me to like B2K. The same applies to this music as any other genre. You think Harry Connick fans give a fuck about Justin Bieber? I think not, and if some of them do then that’s on them. Stop trying to paint with such a wide ass brush. Its lame.
Lemme ask you this. As a Tron-tan, with your unabashed support for your countryman, do you still wave the flag for Kardinal Offishal or Saukrates with the same vim and vigor? Do you own their material? Would you stand out on Yonge Street for hours draped in Argonauts and Raptors gear waiting for the next Kardi project staying awake on gallons of Tim Horton coffee? You asked and I answered. I love these war of words so now the ball is in your court on the 55 yard line.
PS – Comparing someone who’s had 20+ years of material vs. rabidly supporting the newest pop sensation’s FIRST album also leaves meter size holes in your argument as well. Hell I remember people causing a ruckus for alot of rap cats first albums (and at their shows) that can’t even get booked at their High School Homecoming dances no mo’…
I ain’t never been much of an R&B dude………. I can’t even relate to teeny bopper hearthrob shit like Drake and Justin Beiber, like Rap Radar feign to. Them and these other blogs who wanna ride on a “hype” bandwagon to seem “hip”,
Midlife HipHop crisis is real.
If this was back in the day these cats would be holding down New Kids on the Block something tough……talking bout “don’t hate”.
I’m a outdated dinosaur….. I don’t cosign kissing men on the lips, don’t cosign tight spandex type jeans and big fluffy assed Supras, and can’t cosign grown men getting they panties wet over Drake.
I’m so out of touch with HipHop culture it ain’t even funny. SMFH
I’ve got all Kardi’s joints (multiple copies) and most of Sauks slim catalogue (original pressings) on vinyl but I deal with real life before consumerism, so I will also rain cheque on a lineup.
And while you might have thrown the “I give props for him being the new icon”, you shoveled two tons of horse shit on top of it. I don’t ride for dude but as an ambassador for the city, I find humor seeing the crabs come out of the sand around the world like they did when he was riding up to the club in his rented Bent.
i just saw this on nah rite & had to come say wassup. LOL. that shit was funny as hell.
SMH @ a nigga w/ a Drake poster.
*says prayer for Lakers (to win)*
“Drake is cementing the return of the lightskint dominance. Shout outs to Grant Hill, Tony Dungy, Shemar Moore, Alfonso Ribiero, Christoper Williams, Cockroach, and of course, the patron saint of lightskintedness: Al B. Sure”
carlton and cole ain’t never been that entrenched on the lightskinted side dallas.
all in all, let’s hope aubrey moves on from the music before the fans move from him. he might pull a kid cudi if that happens
I listen to Masai Bey as I read this. I’m just not that interested in cats such as this whose rappin’ is lackin’. For sure, more power to him, every man gotta find his own meal, but, um, NO. Where is Maestro Fresh Wes right now? Props to MarQ Spekt: grown man rap.
Giggly cute tenderonies, and fans saying fux that leak& waiting for the release…..I love it. Drake is definitely not losing.

drake gonna fuck around and impregnate a teen. christ.

LMAO @Drake excitement vomit. Props to you DP for even getting near them teenie bopers.

fuck is a drake? I just don’t understand….smh

……
how did Canibus say it?
“99% of your fans wear high heels”
drake, if the kangol fits, wear it

I wanted someone to tell me that my headline copy was on par with my normal genius.
Like Drake, I too am a sucker for love.
@ Dallas – You have that witty unpredictable talent & natural game. I also give you free “reign” (Chris Rios RIP always intended) over the newly coined term Jewlatto.
@ WWIB
I only listen to ‘Our Dreams’. That’s it.
Diesel,
‘Jewlatto’ is fux’n gold!
