You right. Drake makes great ATL, Houston, and Miami music. Now tell him go make his own.

But first, he needs to figure out what that is. Does he know?

Do you know? He's from Toronto. What is their hip hop sound? Toronto is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. Do they need to have an identifiable sound?

What you're really trying to say is that Drake should be kicked out of hip hop because he doesn't have a regional sound? If not then feel free to correct me. No disrespect.

I'm asking what is your end game. You want Drake to find a sound? What does that look like to you?

IMO, I don't think that there's any artist out right now that can do what Drake does. I'm talking about their musical talent as far as rappers go.

Also Drake reps Toronto heavily and he claims that. So is you big hang up that you don't know what Toronto's sound is and therefor Drake shouldn't sound like anything? I'm trying to understand even though we have different opinions.

Still the dopest thing to come out of the 6



C'mon, bro...Did you burn this song or K-Os music on CDs or put it on mp3 players and tell your peoples to check him out back then if you were familiar? Are you seriously checking for his music today?

If not, stop, please.

Secondly, that song isn't even K-Os best, much less out of the city. But you are entitled to your opinion but still stop lol

We don't have a sound per se but have a texture, feel or some sort if that makes any sense. Folks already know about the influence of the Caribbean, West & East African cultures here.

The underwater, spacey, eerie/gloomy sound from the eras raging from So Far Gone, Take Care, and House of Balloons/Trilogy could've been coined as 'Toronto feel'...but we fucked that opportunity up because of all kinds of shit that I don't care to get into.

Drake definitely built a lot of the feel using Texan & Memphian hip-hop music and that's just being dead honest.

Almost like Drake pioneered a sound for Toronto but I'm sure people will think that word is too strong.

He's what I'll say about Drake. Drake came into the mainstream in 2007-2009 when the tide was changing in hip hop and a lot of young and up and coming artist were moreso trying to be like their favorites rappers that they admired and not so much like the sound of teh region that they came from.

The game was changing by then. That's why I said earlier that the regional argument for hip hop is an outdated one. By the time Drake hit mainstream, physical media was dying and things like Soundcloud and YouTube were starting to become more popular. The majority of rappers that you heard freestyling and trying to be clever with their bars like Lil Wayne were not from N.O. or even the south. They were from everywhere. By this point, the influence of individual rappers was bigger than the influence of the sounds of the regions where they were.
 
Wait, you from Toronto fam?

And yes, I am going to tell you about your opinion as you told me and every other user about theirs in the past lol. This is a forum for discussion, no?
