Drake makes music for bad bitches with sugar daddies and White women with Black sons that say nigga too much.

So many good looking women at a Drake concert

The funniest shit about Skillz post is that part of the reason that Drake apparently gets some hate too is because despite the at times self deprication and perceived "softness" by all accounts the niggas he keeps around him will and have put hands on a few people. Especially Chicago niggas for some odd reason. And that's part of why he moves with the arrogance he does that pisses people off

Mos a hating ass dude.

But that’s hip hop for ya.

Mans don't want the tag 'hiphop' associated with him or his music... He's literally done things to that effect; declining awards that categorise him under 'rap' etc, he also prefers 'singing' to rapping more or less of the time on his albums



But y'all want to put him under a label he don't want no part of...

Mos def a old hater

It's literally the equivalent of some Dominicans saying "Mi No Se Papi, I am not Black" and Pan-African niggas putting up charts, maps and blood quantum levels to prove they are Black in a sense.

"You look just like my uncle, how are you not Black."

Lol, can't just accept the motherfucker don't consider themselves Black.

Crying and begging for them accept your group on your terms because it looks good for your group in the eyes of others.

Drake associates himself with Hip Hop the same way Miley Cyrus did lol. He uses Hip Hop the same way Post Malone does. It's part of the repertoire for the modern Pop artist.

Hip Hop is more than just rapping, the same way being Black is more than just having trace ancestry.

I'm not even a Drake fan but Mos is wrong on this one. Drake is hiphop he may not be the one two mic check hiphop but buddy is just as much as hiphop as Mos Def. Drake can rap and he's actually good when he's rapping that singing shit is all trash but he still can rap.

Ironically Mos Def sings as well

 

[OGDirtyD]

Mos just dealing with the typical haterade syndrome.

Neither of those artists u mentioned are considered hip hop.

So it looks like this all comes down to whether u think drake is a culture vulture, not the actual music.
