THE DRAKE TRAIN


Have you heard of Drake? I am sure you have.
You know what is bugging me? Everyone riding the Drake train.
No No Dont get it twisted I LOVE DRAKE.
But I been rocking with Drake for a while!
Actually you guys put me onto the So Far Gone Mixtape not too long ago. I thank you guys for that!
But I knoew this was coming. The Drake Train has emerged! I love that Drake has made it mainstream, but I hate the fact that now maybe he is getting watered down. Let me explain...
Lil Wayne is exploiting this negro. The Best I Ever Had-Why did Lil Wayne have to jump on the remix? Successful- Again why did he have to be on it?
They are acting like Drake cant stand alone. He can STAND alone Lil Wayne. I think Lil Wayne is scared that Drake might blow his A** outta the water. Drake is very talented! But its like he is making Drake his puppy dog and I dont like that. I hate that he signed to Young Money, because Wayne is gonna be making the profit and once again exploiting him to hype his fam up!
Drake doesnt need Wayne. I think that is also the problem too...all the Wayne fans are also Drake fans (what a coinkidink!) That the problem.
1. I was trying to put people onto Drake the moment I heard him. I thought he was refreshing to the music industry because he wasnt 1 dimensional. NOBODY WANTED TO BE PUT ON...THEY WOULD TELL ME TO TURN IT OFF OR BE LIKE ITS OKAY.
2. DRAKE IS NOT NEW. AT ALL. I remember him from Replacement Girl w/Trey Songz & this dude was on DeGrassi (he is an actor too-triple threat!)
3.DRAKE Mixtapes are this ish. I am afraid when he comes out with his CD this year they are going to throw in some "mainstream bullish"...like having him talk about groupies, money, strippers, materialitic stuff, etc...he is so deep but I dont want him sounding like a mini Lil Wayne.
Like I said I am happy Drake is getting recognition, but I want people to appreciate his talent rather than his affiliation.
I really dont like the video for Best I Ever Had...it was just booty & dumb girls.
I love Drake beyond the mainstream songs

Omg girl yes!! Ive been thinkin this for a while now ive been a drake fan since i knew he could rap a lil bit after he dropped room 4 improvement ive taken a listen since ive been watchin Degrassi since 10th grade and his whole flow is different now that lil wayne has gotten hold of him and it disturbs me... Drake sound used 2 be more deep like he colaborated differently wit ppl like Little Brother and he started 2 make undergound sound cool like a Lupe Fiasco or Common. Now he rappin bout shit he aint been thru soowooopin in songs and aint never been a blood a day in his life,shit neither has lil wayne, that nigga is gona get drake shot! It pisses me off 2 see ppl who claim 2 be drake fans but never heard of anything prior 2 so far gone & i kno its all about evolving but im afraid Drake is gona lose what made him special in the first place the same way Lil wayne did that nigga erased the whole cash money sound completely like he was ashamed of it. Thats what made u famous & u cant say ur aa real lil wayne fan if u only know the carter 3. I feel if Drake was 2 roll wit sumone mainstreaam it shuda been Kanye over Wayne jus cuz they fit better musically im afraid drake is going to lose his humility which makes me love him as a person and artist becuz he is hangin around this fake blood, mighty mouse soundin, abc 123 rappin, no condom wearing, pharrell wanabe dressin, gremlin lookin nigga....i dont hate lil wayne 4 what he is doin or tryin 2 do he is good but there are things aboout him i feel dnt make him great as everyone tries 2 make him out 2 be but he is a totally diff. Story. I jus see his visionn watering down Drake & it doesnt please me
