The Toronto Raptors basketball team has made him their official spokesperson recently as this week! and my grandkids listen to this! Nothing is sacred these days, And people dare to knock black and extreme metal! Give me a break!
The lyrics are the key...it will no doubt top or nearly top the charts! Other than that the music is secondary, boring out of the same old hip hop rap music template. I heard enough hip hop rap to know there are a lot of intelligent artists out there making this music but they are not mainstream and not many people know them...except for Eminem!
Common and Sage Francis are very good artists that also use sophisticated r n' b!
Maybe that's why a teenager told me to f*** myself yesterday! The music has contributed to total disrespect...any fool can see this!
Totally agree SteveO
amazing the rap that scores high on the charts
when there is actually good rap that gets made without the vulgarity
back to Drake
new album just came out
and it looks like everything on it hits the singles chart this week
with digital downloads there's no such thing as singles as we remember them
assuming downloads get counted in the sales figures leading to all tracks being on the singles chart
same thing happened with Jay-Z's album
