i can't wait to listen drake's south korean accent.

Drake completed the story mode on his music career he's just on free roam

Drake was the richest kid at my school, his family very connected to Toronto's film and music industry, So when I first noticed the song "started from the bottom" I almost died of laughter.

You forgot "Low income Drake" "Middle Class Drake" "Gucci Rich Drake"

“I did it all without a Drake feature.” -Mac Miller

Plot Twist: At age 50 Drake gets out of character and makes a documentary about an actor that infiltrated the music industry and acted like a musician, becoming the biggest rap artist in the industry

Imagine having ghost writers and your lyrics are still that bad tho

After kpop blows up in the u.s I'm waiting for korean drake

"Is Drake a genius marketer or a scam artist?" In reality they're pretty much the same thing.

Dang, there was a lot of Drake’s, there was even Arabic and African Drake 😂

I never cared for Drake as an artist. None of his songs ever clicked with me. I just always thought he sounded whiny and lazy

Drake is seriously a character we don't know who he really is.I don't think he's been anywhere near authentic since room for improvement and comeback season.

Drake makes music for people who drink beer with at straw

Toosie slide was literally the laziest song I have ever heard. Usually when you hear a bad song you can assume, at least a little bit of effort or emotion went into it. It sounds like if his manager wrote the song and told Drake to just shut up and sing it because it will blow up on tik tok and make them both money

The guy who started as child actor on a Disney show who made a song about how he started from the bottom should tell you everything you need to know.

Drake is merely a businessman. The most profitable jobs in the world are sales jobs, and he’s damn good at sleazing them sales. He hasn’t been an artist for a long time.

he is a businessman, not an artist easy as that

He steals from his own OVO artists. That's why The Weeknd left, look where he's at now

I was going to say Scam Artists, BUT when he mentioned Quint Tarantino, that's when I realized that Drake is low-key a genius. I mean if he was a scam, people would be liking his music, but drake is giving people what they want. And it's music that fans find enjoyable. I agree it's not the best music, but the music he makes are like the newer Marvel movies. Honestly, they all have the same idea, yet people still come and buy tickets. If Disney can do it, why can't drake

Genius marketer. You can’t call him a scam artist, when he’s just following the rules of the streaming system. At the end of the day, his fans will enjoy his music. He’s in the music BUSINESS. It’s his job to hit those numbers and stats.

i think drake stopped caring about really rappin when he felt people didn't give Tuscan Leather the love it deserved. nothing was the same has some of his best verses and got overlooked for grammys. I think he stopped trying. that being said, you can still make a 90 plus playlist of his songs and have a got ass time

Don’t disrespect The Weeknd like that though. He’s actually pure talent.

"It's not hip hop ,it's pop" Eminem 🤘🤣

“They might be geniuses, they might be scam artists. But one thing we do know is that they’re good at what they do.” That was a dam good ending for the video.

I really think he stopped trying after 2015

My take is that Drake's music is just a vehicle for him to be rich. Theres no artistic integrity

tarantino pays hommage, he loves films and is an expert at his craft.. you really shouldn't compare him to drake

As a jamaican, I'm personally surprised drake doesn't live in montego bay the way he scams. As you said, there's a severe drop in quality (stopped listening from the decent began) and he shows no signs of actually caring about the work he releases, he just wants money. Imagine if every artist only made art for money, shit would be terrible

“Tik Tok choreographer” dial it back there you’re giving too much credit

The sad part about all of this is that most of his fans don’t really care about his motives. The general public don’t really care if it’s art or just a money grab and when they see the latest trend, they wanna follow it and he is at the forefront of it always.

Let's not forget he tried to rip off XXXTentacion before he blew up, it's never mentioned but that KMT song is outrageous

This video covers everything I've been trying to tell people for over 10 years

"they might be geniuses, they might be scam artists, but one things for certain. They are good at what they do" Awesome closing line

I’m surprised he didn’t release an album soaked in auto tune, synths and reverb and steal the “YahYah! Straight Up!” after he hopped on Travis’ album

The cha cha beat was too basic to “copy” but his agent probably used it because it was the most recent source material

He's a Genius Scam Artist

Ah yes Drake, if you like one of his songs you’ll like the song he stole it from more

I like how Drake has the exact same 3 expressions in every photo of him ever.

Drake is a robber😁 I found out a month ago he bought One Dance, his first biggest billboard #1 song, 3rd most streamed song on Spotify, Drake bought the song from a Nigerian artist called Wizkid and man didn't even give him much credit💀 He tapped from Afrobeats culture 😂💔

How he explains tiktok as the one hurting brain the most is just too funny.

¨they scream out my failures and whisper my accomplishments.¨

I remember when Drake went from a big artist to a phenomenon when Hotline Bling was released. I remember feeling like Drake was changing into a different type of musician. I guess "If You're Reading this, it's too late" is the last genuine thing he released then.

when i used to be a kid, i used to wear my moms lab coat and pretend that i'm a doctor. Seeing drake just reminds me of the shit i did..

Borrowing sounds and styles is literally what music is. It's the core of hip hop.

Drake: the ultimate culture appropriator

'The line between scam artist and genius is a blurry one' - Obama

The difference between Drake and Tarantino is that one of them is the biggest artist in the world.

Aubrey copies, steals, and recycles. That's why he's on top smh

I'm glad somebody finally said it. Drake throws out these quality loosies to keep people interested and then puts out blatant cash grabs to keep his checks big.

surprised there hasn’t been a kpop drake yet

Rappers are literally actors that don’t drop character much

Remember 2010-2013 drake,man that was probably the last time he cared about music,he was really consistent back then

Every 5 years or so there's a shift in music that you either appreciate, or it serves to make you realize that you're getting old

The difference between Tarantino and Drake is, as was stated, Tarantino puts a spin on his projects. Yes, he may borrow ideas from other film makers but he does it in a considerate and passionate way. You can tell Tarantino loves his art and always puts his all into his films. Drake however, blatantly steals from other artists and does what he can to stay relevant to appeal to the general public. At one point, he did care about the music and the industry. He let his riches and fame consume him, so now he will either A) pander to the fans of his old music or B) create a project that only serves to further fufill his monetary gain. I find it hard to respect Drake in the same light filmmakers respect Tarantino. Everything seems so fake with Drake; where with Tarantino it is evident he puts time and effort into his films. Most of which are very enjoyable and are celebrated as pop culture icons (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglorious Bastards)

Name one rapper that is not doing it for the money

You nailed this. People who really like Drake beyond his music but as a person make me ask questions about their values

You gotta despise the man to notice all these things about him 😅 damn his music is still good

Meg thee Stallion created the Savage dance. She knew what she was doing.

You know what man? I just have to say, this was an awesome video. You did a great job. I am kinda disappointed I didn't watch this when it was first published! Thank you!

this video is just story of adidion 2 but without a beat

Every rapper: *has talent* Drake: i am the copy cat ninja

A large part of hip hop is based on using shit without making the previous artist benefit. Hip hop was legit created by rapping over other genres. Look at the trouble producers go through to flip a sample to the point where they dont have to pay to clear it. Look how many times people got fucked financially after copyright claims on samples or used melodies. Migos literally took someone elses flow and then said they created it. Soon after everyone in hip hop copied it 😂. All of these lil rappers that used to be carbon copies lil wayne plus now youve got young thug and future clones. Yes he has done some suspect shit but its funny to me how everyone shits on drake and at time ignore the unoriginality of a huge sector of hip hop. I guess everything is cool until you start doing it really well cause before you know it everyone is at your throat.

Thank you for making this, I knew I wasn't alone on this!

The difference between Tarantino and Drake is that you can feel that Tarantino loves film and you cant feel that Drake loves music

Drake just wanted a quick buck during the virus my guy. He’s always been a businessman over a musician. I would be angry if it wasn’t so successful. Yes you’re a music channel so this is blasphemous to you but to get as big as drake wouldn’t be possible now a days just by making good music. He’s not the beatles, he’s Warren Buffet.

I'm so glad I came across your video. I've been saying for a good while how I didn't like him, but couldn't exactly explain to people why. He always seemed fake, so all I could point to was how I used to watch him on Degrassi and... I just didn't like him. Thanks for putting into words what I was feeling.

Maaan u hit this on point

I didn’t know any of this stuff about drake, but I never really liked his music. It always felt... disingenuous.

Drake just followed Jay-z blue print and Kanye’s wave riding

Drake is overrated. Really, the only reasons why he's so popular are that he's a hip-hop/rap artist, hops on to any trend that's popular at the moment, and the memes.

At the end of the day it's about getting paid, Drake has mastered that, he keeps his name relevant, he keeps music on the radio. If you could do the same and secure your financial security for life , you would too, its to many singers ,rappers etc on the streets and in subways performing for nothing , that should be making money for their music like drake. I respect Drake's hustle 💯

Drake only does good Simp themed songs.

Views (2016) is the last time he genuinely cared about his music. Not scorpion, not more life, Views. All the songs match the theme and aren’t made for a quick cash grab. Views.

Aged like wine

thank you for making this.

there was no need and place to compare what quentin does to what drake does

I remember when hotline bling was uploaded to Apple Music (he had an exclusivity deal at the time) and it was listed as a remix to DRAM's Cha Cha

Enjoyed this . Your a good journalist

I have a feeling that Kanye West is this threads most beloved artist

im a music fan. Like genuinely I spend my days enjoying and discovering new music from shoegaze to punk to hiphop and rnb and industrial and I love drake. Even as I discover new music, I just understand that drakes make pop music that to me is very enjoyable to which I can turn my brain off and that’s great in its own right. Just want to break the stereotype that all drake fans r brainless tiktokers that just listen to what is trending.Hopefully I didn’t come off as pretentious or anything

I don't think the word scam artists applies to people who just sell out and buy into marketing trends, he's not scamming anyone and it's very apparent to most people what he's doing. He's not scamming anyone

New subscriber!👍💜😊

Here after the beef

he's both. great analysis man, I used to be a Drake fan, but you articulated better than me as to why I'm not so much now, and also the Pusha T conflict was life changing embarrassing for Drake.

This is an interesting conversation. I love Drake, but I do understand and appreciate your perspective on this. Believe it or not, most artists tend to do this anyway. It's just that Drake seems to be one of the biggest offenders. On the music side of the conversation, I can admit that he does stuff like "Toosie Slide" (Which is ok, btw) that is obviously pandering to the TikTok trend and stealing full verses from other rappers (i.e. YG's "Who Do You Love?") is just flat stealing. However, for some reason, he always seem to find a way to make it where people can enjoy it. Like, I can still listen to that WDYL verse and still enjoy it despite knowing that he lifted half of it almost word-for-word. It's weird for me. As for the accents, I think it could be trend-hopping and him having a connection with those places as well. I mean, he did have family in Tennessee via his dad. It's strange. If any other rapper did any of this, more people would've called them out on it and sooner. But since Drake is... well... Drake, he has a bit more leeway. Again, that's an interesting question that's going to cause a lot of discourse in the comments. Also, I don't know if this would to the conversation, but there's a book called "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon. I haven't read it (Though I plan to), but from what I've read about it, it talks about how to stay creative in the digital age and how that nothing in original. I think it could add some depth to this.

This video aged brilliantly 🙌😂

Bro this title is some crazy foresight

Bash Drake for feeding himself, on a video that’s just barely 10 mins long which is KZfaqs criteria for video ad money

7:03 Swans "To Be Kind" is a scam *confirmed*

Only old heads or rap historians will know how he is an emulator. He is innovative with his bites. Mighty morphing other rappers power ranger.

Or he’s a man who changes in 10 years in his life and it reflects in his music.

I see drake as just mediocre, nothing more, nothing less

"A good artist steals but a great artist copies"

We want Bollywood Drake and KPOP Drake.

Drake stealing verses sounds like he's doing a KidzBop parody

I know he has it in him to make another great album like NWTS or Take care but he’s been hella lazy lately 😔 love him but he’s selling out

So Drake steals like an artist... Dude seems to give as good as he gets. Besides, can't hate the player if he's just playing the game 🤷🏾‍♂️

WOAH WOAH WOAH Was NOT expecting that low blow to Quinton at the end, can't believe you compared him to drake 💀

Wow good stuff. Its so true

U guys forgot about 'Nigerian' Drake with Wizkid one dance. 😂😂 So every continent *Africa *North America *South America *Europe What's next Antarctica 😂😂😂
