"How To Drake It In America"

Post by Employee »

http://www.gq.com/entertainment/celebri ... -july-2013
It begins at three in the afternoon—the pool party—about an hour after Drake wakes in his manse in the San Fernando Valley. Another brightly scrubbed California day, and Drake's crew—the guys from Toronto who live with him here—are downright joyous. It's been a stretch of hard work, and everyone's eager to blow it up a little. Suddenly, bikinied women seem to materialize from thin air, as if competing in a rap beauty pageant. Some are super chatty, some aloof; some are full-bodied, some as wispy as a tamarack. A number swan about as if in a museum or a music video, firing their iPhone cameras, while others take dramatic, slow-motion strolls by the pool, as if this all will soon be theirs.

the whole shit is Special Olympics. Idiots will lose their shit over it regardless. People with taste and an interest in actual music will listen to something else.

Step, you're a fucking herb. You're like Jaz with no redeeming hilarity. Literally all of your posts are variations of you shitting on an artist you don't like and calling their fans dumb.

yeah, but so does Drake.

in my city, in my life, and in my mind: Drake certainly has created some classic songs and moments.

looks like more are on the way. and 'Yeezus' is NOT fucking classic. NOTHING NEAR THAT. if Kanye puts out nothing else in 2013, dude jumped the shark for me. I'll be bumping Drake and Jay-Z and Nas and Wu-Tang and anything but Ye.

and step one, I have taste in music and I enjoy some of Drake's material. To write it all off is to be ignorant. There's a thought to take away from every piece of art in the universe, no matter how bad or good.

The difference between me and you is that I KNOW when my preferences are pronounced to the point of making me see reality with a bias :rofl:

you actually think you are possibly logical when you write your absolute madness. and i think it's adorable. :ironmike:

Drakemania is about to fucking mop the floor with Kanye's blown out ego. Watch.
Jay-Z is about to also get a lesson in who's who in modern rap. Jigga can broker big pimpin business (spending G's) but his music? Doubt it's the cutting edge of the culture like the youth think Drizzy's is

A milli the first week is still possible for Aubrey. Kanye just tapped out at 400,000.
If Drake's new album does better than Jay-Z's does... that will REALLY be the :omar:

:bunk: I am a Kanye fan, bruh! fuck outta here with that either/or shit :rofl:

I love Kanye but don't love what he did on Yeezus.
only white hipster critics who want to look cool are rating that album great. Fuck Pitchfork praise
I ain't just rating only album sales, but they count on that level.
I prefer the music Drake is making over Kanye lately. "5 AM in Toronto" >>>>>>> every verse Kanye dropped in 2013

I am a God that could teach Kanye that being God is more than demanding croissants in a restaurant with a menage :bunk: x infinity

Spin's Julianne Escobedo Shepherd is similarly enthusiastic about the sonics. "Production first: I have been waiting to see who's gonna bring back IDM (intelligent dance music), that maligned and ill-christened style of clicks-and-clacks that overtook Aphex Twin-sweating producers in the early 2000s. Time is ripe for a response to the corporatization of 'EDM,' but who the hell ever expected Kanye would be the one to do it?"

Drake is on his third album and has done pretty darn good creating a legacy of his own

'Take Care' isn't 'Late Registration', but was historic in its own way

Kanye West put out 'Graduation' on his third album
I prefer that album to 'Yeezus'

I think Drake's first album is pretty fucking classic. It is in my world for sure. I don't care if your peoples don't care about it, but if you live in NYC then I know half your city slobbers over all things Drizzy :rofl:

'Thank Me Later' is a Canadian hip hop classic so we'll see what happens come September

fuck albums and verses, I like Drake as a person more than I like Kanye these days. PEACE

yeezus???? lol, fail

Yeezus is pure trash. I could give a shit about Step One but he's right, this shit isn't about music anymore. Most of you turds are just rooting for an artist that you have a buttfucking allegiance with. FYI, you aren't a "team member", just a nutjuggler. All of these fucks make variations of the same bullshit, I happen to think Drake does it a lot better than most though, his shit is somewhat memorable and much more fun.

he's trying. if anyone has a chance, it's him. more than anyone else on the planet, i'd think. Him or Bieber.

I mean, white people just made that mediocre, middling R&B rehash bullshit Justin Timberlake just put out do 950,000 in its first week or whatever. God it must be nice to be a white pop tart mainstream darling in 2013. You can leave for almost a decade, and when you come back, white folks will buy truckloads of your shit with open arms. Macklemore is set for life! :rofl:

Drake will go gold the first week, easily. If he has the right type of songs playing, and some surprise guest appearances or something that makes his hype stock skyrocket this summer, then he might be able to do those first week Jay-Z/Samsung numbers the old school way: one sale at a time :lol:

Lil Wayne, Kanye, T.I., and Jay-Z don't do those huge first week sales anymore... and we shall see if Eminem-mania still exists the way it used to, when the 'Marshall Mathers' album came out. But Eminem's white, thus white people will faithfully go to the record store and purchase a copy of Em's album in the first week, so whatevs. Marsh Math won't suffer the fate of T.I. or Weezy F.

rap is out of control

holy fuck has the internet destroyed the music industry as we knew it. :owens: :arrow:

MAD CO-SIGN STEEZES POPPIN' HURR :cheers:

peace to binary for telling the brutal, beautiful truth.
this shit is NOT about music anymore, it's about which punk motherfuckers can accumulate the most pliant drone mobs to obey all your idiocy without resistance or hesitation

few people do this shit for the art of rhyme, culture, family, or creativity anymore. it's pure commerce. they'll do anything in their music to make money (which these days mostly includes sounding like Drake) :bunk:
