Yes but no... imo he is mediocore When he hops on other genres. He isnt the best at anything honestly, The Weeknd sings 10x better than him, Kendrick can out rap him any day, The UK flow of his is just so mid you could imagine it was just a lazy parody, Even in the snippet with carti his shit just okay compared to How carti Blends in with the sound and Dont act like his afrobeats song are just half assed people in tht genra really be going Harder than his songs and Lets be honest, Migos got a way Harder songs and dude aint Even innovative like Kanye. But the fact that He has tapped into all these genres without failing or making an absolute trash song is somewhat credible not gonna Take that from him.

Drake on the other hand just straight up rips musical styles from their ecosystems and slaps his name on mediocre version of it and moves on as soon as the trend goes out of favor.

One thing with Drake is when he does a song in uk drill or a dancehall vibe, it never comes across in a bad way. Speaking on my parents behalf they think Drake using afro beats (theyre nigerian) puts their sound on the map and gives it that mainstream attention. He always gives the people involved with the sound hes using respect. I really dont see why people have issues with it.

That being said outside of their respective region artists ain’t getting mainstream or international attention until certain situations occur like a major artist like Drake co signs them not to sign Drake is the only person that can do that. I’m not saying Drake found any of these new artists from Day 1 then built them up to who they are today what I’m saying is he finds out what’s bubbling and like you said he is good at spotting what’s gonna take off and capitalizes off it but at the same time shines a light on them and brings them to a mainstream audience.

@@AlejandroBlackMusic I agree but that's not the issue. The issue isn't that he shouldn't be allowed to try different styles, especially when he can make good music. The problem is that the music already sounds good before Drake jumps on it. You (the masses) just don't check for it. Then he jumps on the bandwagon, blows it up and then everyone thinks he is the greatest and most creative artist of all time (or at least, this used to be the case much more). That's what the problem is, he was being credited with the creative direction and artistry which he wasn't actually responsible for creating. As far as making music, everyone should just do whatever the fuck they like. But credit it where it deserves the credit. Hotline Bling is arguably his biggest song of all time and it's accused of being a copy of DRAM's Cha Cha. Even small little verses he features for people, like his verse on Who Do You Love by YG, is a basic copy of Rappin 4 Tay's verse no Playaz Club. But at least he did credit Rappin 4 Tay for that one. This is just scratching the surface anyhow. Edit: he also definitely isn't the first or last person doing this, it's just that he's been the biggest male artist if not artist period, for a few years now, so he's been the poster boy for this practice.

I give Drake the benefit of the doubt most of the time. He clearly acknowledges most influences and he usually attempts to evolve with the times without really compromising his Musical Character. People don't understand to be this big for so long you have to ride certain waves to remain relevant with the times. The only thing I don't like about him is for him to downplay or outright lie about taking concepts/songs and claiming he or his team naturally created them himself. But it's the music industry and I wouldn't expect anything less from him in that aspect either. That's why it's easier to respect Kanye who will always give out credit musically.

But to be brutally honest several celebrities have done the same before him (just look at Sean Combs aka Puffy aka P.Diddy), so in that regard he shouldn't be penalized or critiqued more than others. Still at the end of the day he caters to a demographic that is more interested in "Popularity" than "Authenticity" or "Credibility" so he can carry on...his career has no impact on me or my culture...(despite what the "industry" wants others to believe).

1-877 Beats4Kids First, I’m not that old my generation is the younger generation I’m considered a millennial. The original comment was talking about how Drake, in this instance, is a “jacker”. That’s someone who steals. Whether you don’t care or do care about someone stealing depends on your morals. The comment also mentioned, authenticity, popularity, and credibility. Whether you don’t care or do care about someone having these traits to be a fan of them depends on your morals. Some morals and values that hip hop held was originality, credibility, and authenticity. If you weren’t original you were shunned. If you weren’t credible you were shunned. If you weren’t authentic you were shunned. Examples. Bitting, ghost writers, genre crossovers (not to be confused with genre fusing), being pussy, not living what you rapped about, etc. The era that grew up in cared about these things so deeply that careers where over after one blog, one freestyle, one diss track, one interview, one chain snatch, one punch, one robbery. Secondly, Morals doesn’t have anything to do with musical taste. Logical fallacy. I may have used the wrong word by saying “no”. I should’ve said this younger generation does hold the same morals that hip hop was founded on. That’s my mistake. Now calm down with the internet bangin, peace lil bruh. Abibifohdie

It is easy for the casual hip hop fan to say Drake is a culture vulture at surface level. In essentially every instance of him delving into different cultural music, he has already established himself with other artists apart of that movement or will already have his own prior experiences. For example, Drake's dad lived in Memphis and he spent time their during his childhood. He has his own experiences and is naturally drawn toward the cultural music of the area where he follows up with an artist that was essentially only known within Memphis. He puts forth this effort in many instances so it always bothers me when he stills accused of this more than any other artist

He gets a lot of heat unfairly in my opinion. Hip-hop has been about sampling and borrowing from the beginning. Other artists sample but Drake is accused of being a Culture Vulture. Like or dislike whoever you want but be consistent about it. I’m not a huge Drake fan but I respect his artistry.

I understand sampling and reinterpreting concepts isn't a bad thing, but with Drake he does shit when it's hot and takes all the view from those artist then letting them do their own thing. I know putting them on the map can be a good thing, but it's definitely a double edge sword. He just does shit to stay on top and have his way with money. It's disingenuous he doesn't care about music, just profit. That's what makes him goofy. Plus all the times he did shady shit like steal Kanye, XXXtentacion and other artist beats/flow it's weird. Also forcing and accent is definitely weird. Especially when those Uk dudes was hot with their sound. He's literally just watering down their sound and feeding it to the masses since he's more popular. Even if he's on their track it just makes the whole thing less genuine from who that artist is. Especially since Drake doesn't really like to talk about controversial shit. He definitely leeches

There is no debate, he IS a culture vulture. The man hopped on Skepta's Wave when he was gettin hot not cause he fucked with him there were other American rap artists that collaged with him years before. Drake also wore black face and said not a word about it until Pusha T exposed him. Drake was going to reveal his son to the world as a part of an Adidas press run, until Pusha T ruined that. Drake stole Dram's song and made it Hotline Bling. Drake made the gods plan video giving out money in Florida as a diss/slight towards XXXtentacion who was already doing community service stuff that wasnt just handing out money that would be gone in a week. Drake's Take Care, considered by many his best piece of work, was only possible due to the weekend giving him half of the songs that were used on the album. Drake was exposed using reference tracks(which are worse than having bars written for u) If it isnt clear, there is not a damn thing sincere about this man in anything he does, He is backed a powerful figure in hip hop which is likely the reason he is allowed to do what he does. He is and has been for a very long time a cancer in hip hop. If Eminem had done half the shit Drake has done he would have been banned from hip hop. When we gonna stop capping for him?

Uk rap, Afro beats, Canadian vibes, American hip-hop, Caribbean accent's, let a nigga be black the internet connects black folk like the pigmentation we share. Why are we tearing down our own?

He name dropped Aventura back in 2012 on the Motto “them Spanish girls love me like I’m Aventura”, then collaborated with Romeo Santos (Aventura’s frontman) in 2014 on Odio. He also made a song with Bad Bunny in 2018. Both songs Drake was singing in Spanish.

Appropriation is not an individual thing; yes the artist knows what they're doing but they're not just an artist, they're a brand, and his brand does not have the ethnic background of its face: drake. then there is the industry who is deciding what to promote and distribute which willingly do because the drake's brand makes money, not because he is an ethnic reflection of the cultures he performs (why was the drake brand pushed harder than other similar brands earlier on needs to be further examined). And finally is the audience most often welcomely accepts drake (why? this needs to be further examined) which makes them more likely to accept drake doing music of other cultures than other similar acts. Also, just cuz you're strategic and calculated doesn't mean you're not appropriating. Just because you appreciate doesnt mean you're not appropriating (they're not opposites!). Drake absolutely makes more power and influence from doing other culture's music than individuals from the culture itself. I agree hes not responsible for their careers, but the people he put on wouldnt have been put on and dont continue to be put on without drake because people follow drake not the cultures he takes. he could absolutely make up his own sounds but instead he just takes it from existing sounds and profits from it; in fact he does it quite strategically scoping the new up and rising sounds to be one of the first to jump on board. Cultural exchange is real, but a brand as big as drake will have a hard time ever simply culturally exchanging with cultures because of drakes size of power and influence. it's not drake's fault in its entirety, its is the neocolonialist capitalist music industry that he is a powerhouse in. Drake is the Disney of hip hop.

I agree with everything except the claim that Drake was probably familiar with British street culture from a young age. Black British culture only started becoming known in Toronto around 2014. It's wild to me that some Brits truly believe that Toronto slang is rooted in British culture especially since most of these terms have been around for decades
