Drake’s FADER Cover Story
TheFADER just put up their lengthy cover story on Drake:
On September 7, 2008, Lil Wayne stepped onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards and then stepped decisively away from the words on the lyric sheet circulating in the audience with the following lines…
I’m on my Disney thang, goofy flow/ I’m Captain Hook on the beat and my new car is Rufio/ Damn where my roof just go/ I’m somebody that you should know/ Get to shakin’ somethin’ cause that’s what [deleted] produced it fo’/ I make mistakes that I don’t ever make excuses fo’/ Leavin’ girls that love me and constantly seducing hoes/ I’m losing my mind like, Damn where my roof just go/ Top slipped off like Janet at the Super Bowl
Then, as Leona Lewis launched into the hook of Nina Simone’s “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” he croaked, “Drizzy Drake: I love you, bwoy!” That namecheck was the only clue to most attendees that Wayne had just blatantly violated the unwritten rules of his own freestyle game by spitting another artist’s words. Though almost lost in host Russell Brand’s commentary on promise rings and presidential politics, it was a coronation moment rarely seen in the arena of rap, and with one verse, Wayne introduced the name of his protégé to the mainstream in dramatic fashion. Amongst those already familiar with the various Wayne-affiliated rookies collectively known as Young Money, the lines sparked a fierce debate over whether Drake was in fact ghostwriting for the master (he and Wayne both still claim he never has), but by the time the rap blog drama blew over, one thing seemed clear: Drake was the next big thing, heir apparent to Wayne’s multi-platinum throne and Young Money’s most likely flagship artist.

September 1st, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Thanks for your opinion AmpGeez, but i hate for you to let someone who luvs the album make you hate it…I mean what other people eat dont make you sh!t……
==========================================================
True, but Nah is supposed to be an HONEST cross section of fans and I know everyone is not feeling the album like that but you don’t see that reflected here. I actually dig the album but I can’t be a part of the hype machine proclaiming BP3 a classic. I’m just offering a different opinion then the ones reflected on here & even if I’m dolo, at least all the lurkers wiil get another viewpoint to think about.
^^^^
Its not a classic, compared to jay albums, but when you compare it to music thats coming out since his last album, its one of the best..the production and the word play is crazy and just to be able to play the album form front to back is a gem in itself….kingdome come to me was clearly a bad album, but this album to me, shows what he wanted to do with kingdome come and i think its a damn good album

sidenote: I met Styles @ the SH,Slum Village Talib show the other night, he can’t be taller than 5′2, 5′4 at absolute best
….
^^
Word, I met him a few years ago at the radio station I worked at (nhjic). It just makes me wonder, how short Mobb Deep really must be. I mean, are these nigga even five feet tall?
… word and Royce is BARELY 5′9, I mean I’m 5′9 1/2 to be technical and I felt like I was damn near hovering over him (none), the funniest part of the night to me is when Slum Village was performing I went back stage and asked royce if there was any shot of him doing Motown 25, he said yeah possibly, didn’t happen, after the show I went up to them Royce and Elzhi and told them I was greatly disappointed I didn’t get that Motown 25

Drake’s flow is always the same. Until he learns to switch it up he’ll always be a one-listen artist for me.

==================================================
There are some great songs on Kingdom Come and that album has an edge that BP3 lacks.
September 1st, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I never met a black Amanda that wasn’t a slut.
My boys step daughter named Amanda..she just turned 15..nigga came home to 3 boys running a train on her..She was more offended that he caught her before she could get hers, than the fact she actually got caught. She moved out the house to go live with one of them.
September 1st, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Amp,
I haven’t heard BP3 yet.
If you feel kingdom come is better than it, I need to know where you rank KC. I’m just trying to get a consensus on the album.

September 1st, 2009 at 1:39 pm
I never said KC was “better” then BP3, but it has some qualities that BP3 lacks & vice versa.
Namely, there’s a darkness there that BP3 is devoid of.
The album’s only been on the net for 2 days…not even.
I need a little more time with it to form an accurate review.

@sleep
if you’re not feeling like you want to be married don’t get married cause you’ll resent your wife and your union later on. your babies need to be bought up in a family but if you aren’t ready to turn away from temptation don’t potentially fuck up their family structure because you weren’t ready to settle down.

^^i dunno man..last I seen Amanda she was like 10 maybe..pretty/shy lil girl..the girl he describes to me now sounds nothing like her..Dem country boys got a hold of that NY ass..turned her out or some shit..how the fuck he look like shooting up a bunch of kids? How it look a bunch of kids punking your grown ass?()..I dont even be knowing what to tell him.

guaranteed you cheat sleep. i’ll put paypal on it.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:07 pm
niggas don’t stay faithfull because they can’t get everything they want sexually out their women….find an up standing classy intellectual type who is just plain nasty in the bedroom and you won’t have that problem……or learn to ask for what you want up front, if she aint willing that’s on her. you told her what you wanted.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Amp,
Your opinion is null and void….you just want to be opposite just for the sake of being opposite….if something is good and everyone likes it you think its bad, if something is bad, you think its good…you’re just an attention seeker for online therapy…no one will be reading your amplified grammar review…

Real talk I got way more blessings and money and secure things when I got married…I think if you get married for the right reasons it makes you more foucus, but i got married at 26, so i was done with my clubbin, but me and wifey still hit up clubs and places, we just do it together and real talk in my eyes wifey is one of the sexiest women i have saw with my own eyes, so i still get tempted but as you get older you are able to mature better…….
wifey looks= lisa raye…random people approach and tell her that

But my girl is pretty so even if I get another prettier girl. I’ll always have to urge to cheat cause I’ll always see a prettier chick. I’m not saying I don’t love me girl. I just get the urge to test out new pussy. I’ve yet to cheat, hopefully I could stay that way for the rest of my life. I’m sure all married men have that urge, don’t mean they act on it.
September 1st, 2009 at 2:10 pm
But on choosin a wifey, i honestly feel she has to be diff. than you, people look for someone that has the same interest, but at times that cud be bad, you need someone that balances you out…sh!t wifey dont even listen to hip hop but she tolerates it
