I think FlashyOne is talking about a purely lyrical battle, though he may have exaggerated some other stuff. I was looking forward to see what DrakeOriginally Posted by sillyputty
This is the problem I have...in fact, I really don't even understand how one can reach these sorts of conclusions.Originally Posted by Tha Flashy One
Drake not responding makes original hip hop look bad, then it shows how the game really changed. you can all thank Drake for destroying the true art form of competition and making sappy love songs. every once in a while Hip Hop needs a beef to spark interest, it's been a dry spell lately because collabs are now the hottest thing in the market. i actually wanted this beef to go down .
I'm not even trying to defend drake because there are so many others this argument could be used against, so much as I'm trying to expose the hypocrisy in this statement.
Are you seriously saying that:
A. Love songs are bad for hip-hop?
B. Drake is the sole cause for this?
C. Disputes are better than focusing on releasing good music?
If nothing else, it shows that rap music, like all other forms of music, EVOLVES.
How anyone can deny that we aren't listening to ballads from the 50s anymore is beyond me.
could actually do on a battle type record, just to prove a point since battling is one of the foundations of hip hop, and if he can't do that, then he shouldn't
try to carry himself in that way and aimlessly talk reckless on records.
