I've heard the first track, really like it, but then again, I really like Drake and 40 anyway, which is hardly a popular opinion round here.

@Garethom - I have never heard a Drake tune. Could you, as a Drake fan, please post his best tune so I can reevaluate him?
I have stupidly prejudged him based on the big ghost chronicles.

Ermmm... I dunno about best really, hard to call for me.

Marvin's Room maybe?



Him and Rihanna did a version of Jamie xx's take on Gil-Scott Heron's "I'll Take Care Of You" which was SHIT though, disregard that tune entirely.

@Garethom - thanks for that. I must say it wasn't as offensive as I thought it'd be, really like the tune itself.
How does he market himself though and how is he seen? Is he supposed to be a rapper or just an '''''R&B''''' singer? If he is a rapper, what's his most lyrically impressive tune?
I literally have no idea about the guy apart from big ghost chronicles, various memes and the hatred on here. That y o l o thing is pretty fucking annoying though, I must say.

Don't really know about how he's marketed to be honest with you, guess he's a mix of both. I know Pkay was slating him for being a rich Canadian Jew before, and that he was a child actor, that's about as far as I know. :lol:

I don't really ever go on twitter, so haven't encountered the YOLO stuff, and I have no clue what big ghost chronicles is. :lol:

His music is good.
I don't really see the point of the hating.

Big ghost chronicles is a rap music blog written in the style of Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang fame. It's fucking funny. He absolutely rinses Drake, not in a hateful way.... hard to explain.
The guy knows his stuff though so it's worth a look.

ok, I was given one example of a 'good' Drake tune by a fan, maybe you can give me an example of one of his tunes that made you hate him.... In the interests of balance and all.

Sure I read on Fact Mag that Drake & 40 are only producing/vocals on about 5 tracks, and Timbaland and Missy Elliott are making some.

Might be chatting egg, so don't take my word for it.
