It’d be pretty easy to attribute the majority of Drake-hate to this kind of prejudice ( he’s biracial AND Canadian! How dare he swear!), but I can actually sort of see where Bulldog’s coming from. Though it would almost certainly hurt my argument to categorize all listeners who dislike Drake as doing so for the same reason, a good example of the typical skeptic/hater mindset is located in Sputnikmusic user Bulldog’s otherwise pretty solid review of Thank Me Later: “Moreover, when Drake - a biracial Candian named Aubrey who played a wheelchair kid on DeGrassi - swears, I die a little inside.” Look at any musical discussion on Drake and his album Thank Me Later and you’ll find proof of the “repetitive” part of that claim, but the “questionable” component is a little harder to establish, especially considering almost all arguments against the guy have been bashed into the collective minds of Internet music communities that even the rare fan usually has to agree with all those negative traits Drake is often charged with (wannabe, awkward, whiny, and oh my God, he was on Degrassi) and then proceed to why he or she can enjoy the music in spite of those flaws. In that respect, Drake is as good a musician as any to swoop in and heroically defend as artistically legitimate Drake-haters often employ arguments that are not only repetitive but also occasionally questionable. Thank Me Later has a tentative March release date.To re-assess an album as actually really great when most people, about a year ago, labelled it as either terrible or, at best, something that “doesn’t really deserve all the hate” (i.e., “not bad” rather than “good”) might seem sort of deliberately contentious-basically, taking the unpopular side of a cultural/musical argument because the more popular alternative has been worn out past the point of use. The fact I have to perform these songs over again, the fact that they have integrity, I never tire of them." "I love the fact that I can tell my story and people enjoy it," he said. Luckily, Drake's vision has resonated with hip-hop fans. "I'm not making the song with the purpose of carefully placing them, like, 'This record serves this purpose, so you can dance in the clubs.' It's about continuing with the vibe that I have and being honest." "So far I've done a couple songs where the individuals have been willing to come into my world," Drake added. " 'This sounds like where I'm at in my life.' So, we took it, and did what he does to pieces of music that I see potential in - he took it to the next spot. "When I heard that beat, the drums that they had come up with, it was like, 'Man, this is a moment,' " he said. As we've previously reported, the Jiggaman laid down bars for the Thank Me Later track "Light Up." There's people that just add to my story." I'm not really worried about the special guests.
"If I get people's verses back and they don't coincide with the vision I have, I'll do the whole album by myself. "I really don't bank on collaborations unless it makes sense," Drake said recently in Toronto.
