So I was searching for places to find some good hip-hop and I came across this blog. I heard from Julio Paz that the blogs is where you keep up with your music. Figured I'll stick to this one. And it had a great article about Drake: check it here.
I just wanted to comment on one idea proposed in the blog:
"Not Drake himself, but the fact that EVERYONE is seemingly head over heels in love with him... "
YES! I completely agree. It's definitely a phenomenon that's going on in hip-hop. I think fans have been clamoring for so long for a rapper that can actually rap. Wait, wait. Let me rephrase that... a rapper with MAINSTREAM APPEAL that can actually rap. He's very user-friendly. He's got the same swag, wordplay and entertainment value as Lil' Wayne. But Drake can go where Lil' Wayne can't: the eyes & ears of the easily-offended conservative.
Ladies love him because he's got that confidence and looks (no homo, but he's mad over-rated in that category). Fellas love him because he's got lines for days. Dare I say... he's even better than Wayne? Yes I do dare. Yes I do.
I don't know who kept their ears out for this guy, but I'm pretty sure Drake already knew how he was gonna market himself. And damn he did a good job at it. I mean, who would have known where you can find a clean, marketable version of Lil' Wayne? Apparently, you find him in Canada on the set of a Nickelodeon teen drama.
Drake is it. There's no stopping him. All Young Money needs now is a great-looking Latino from Los Angeles. And I thiiiink I know where to find him....
Lol.
