i never did like him and his lazy voice style of singing is so fucking annoying to listen.

If you are a Drake fan, go listen to people with actual good voices who can put all the emotion into their performance. You will realize there are actual artists out there who do mind blowing stuff and y'all just listen to basic ass Drake.

For real, I can identify a Drake song by asking myself "Do I feel annoyed?", and if I am it is usually Drake. I usually get most musical tastes, I don't get Drake. Sure some songs are ok, but so many are just incredibly annoying.

Just gonna put it out there, but when he was getting radio play between 08-10 I honestly thought he was biting hard off of Lil Wayne’s flow and trying his hardest to imitate it.

He’s got a reputation for stealing flows and cadences from other rappers. XXX, Wayne, Eminem and migos to name a few I’ve heard of

Way back when I was in high school I listened to the Take Care album on repeat. Then I outgrew it and haven't listened to much of his stuff since. The only thing I really listen to that has him is Going Bad but I love the way it sounds in my car. I can't name one solo Drake song that's come out since ... Hold on We're Going Home?

There's definitely way better artists out there but everyone has their own style. Some people like his lazy style. My music tastes are all over the place so I really enjoy some creativity in my music.

That's fair. I don't mean to say there is nothing to his music or that it's wrong just to like the way music sounds to you. I try not to have any judgment for most genres and people liking what sounds like bad music to me, but I do get upset when people make mediocre artists into international, super rich celebrities. But many times that's just me being extra grumpy that day.

No, your words have merit. The most obscene and talentless individuals are often brought to the limelight. The Kardashians, although an easy one, are an example.

In my own opinion there's a big difference between a full band writing their own music, lyrics, and actually playing to be proficient versus someone such as Beyonce in 'Run the World (Girls)' who did absolutely nothing but sing what others wrote for her to a music track someone else made for her as well. That's why I usually opt for some lesser known indie bands and smaller metal bands. I remember listening to Wage War and Villain of the Story open for other artists before they were able to stand on their own. But I digress because I could discuss music all day! Lol

Drake was relevant when Thank me later came out but after Quentin Miller Was outed as his Ghostwriter my respect and attention vanished.
