Please who sent you? Even when Take Care was about to be released, I didn’t hear word again. Y’know, you cats are real funny, when songs like Forever, Over, Miss Me came out, y’all were all on his dick, doing ‘YMCMB’, ‘#Team Drake’ up and down. He would only rap about stuff that he’s been through and that’s why we have his type of songs.Īnd to those saying Drake can’t go hard, I’ll post a list of some of his songs that should shut you up forever. So you don’t expect him to get up in the studios and start rapping about shit that he barely understands. I once heard him say in an interview that people shouldn’t expect him to rap about the ‘thug life’, he’s never been there, never did drugs and he never lived that kinda life, yeah he had some struggles, things weren’t always smooth but he’s never been a major gangstar. Sometimes you wanna hear hip-hop but you want it to be something you can relate too, so that’s where people like Drake come in. Not all the rappers can go hard all the time about weed, hoes, bling, whips, clothing, sneakers, violence, crime and all that. (No disrespect though I actually admire both Jarule And X-Zibit). Y’know some real hardcore, we-in-the-hood, we-so-ghetto, I-run-the-hood type of rap and not everybody can get along with that. I think everyone has stereotyped the image of a rapper, the ideal rapper or rap artiste is expected to be a DMX prototype who’ll start barking like an over-excited dog once you turn up your head-phones or a cross between Ja-Rule and X-Zibit. Those reasons are not in any way legit so if you were thinking along those lines, I’ll point out a few reasons why you shouldn’t be thinking that. Did I say kinda? Naah scratch that, it annoyed me! Big time! Like crazy! I mean why on earth can Drake not be called a rapper anymore? Because of his ‘Take Care’ album or because of the fact that he’s in touch with his feminine side or he sings or maybe its because a majority of his popular songs are about females and heartbreaks and emotions? To me that shouldn’t mean he can’t be called a rapper. Okay y’all, I came across this article that said people couldn’t decide if Drake belonged to the rap genre anymore, and to be honest it kinda irked me. These were the times I discovered Drizzy and whenever I hear it, it still makes me fall deeper and deeper for hip-hop! Amaziiiing, the both of them <33333! And then my nigga Drake sampled her instrumental ^.^, talk about bliss, ear-gasms of major proportions once it comes on yo! Incase you were wondering, Drake’s version still bears the same title ‘Closer To My Dreams’. I really love this song, been my best material from her ever since I discovered her music. It warms my heart and it’s heaven to my ears. Everything about this song makes me alive and serene. I really admire her ethereal and down to earth appearance. Besides she rarely releases new material and her lyrics aren’t all that fantastic, but no doubt she has majoor talent. And like most people who say Goapele is underrated, I don’t think she is, she just makes music that isn’t commercial, y’knoww like for real soul music fans.
Lol basically when you’re a baby and you don’t know what a song means and the mood just makes you sad and even though you love the song, you just can’t help but cry when you hear it. A really old song, I used to tear up hearing it back in ’03. This song is basically the definition of soul.
