He doesn't have to say he believes those things, it's a vibe, i mean he thinks he's making music more timeless than others, so obviously he believes his technique in some way better than others. Which is pretty wrong.

Tuscan Leather, Hold on we're Going Home, Started from the Bottom and Wu-Tang Forever are all bona fide bangers. If you think differently, I think you may be going in without an open mind. For what they are, they are all great tracks.

"Hold On We're Going Home" i'll give you, especially since I don't have to hear him rap once, but "Started from the Bottom" is the epitome of wackness.

Drake also has going for him that he doesn't need to rely on guest spots. Shit, over half of all 'mainstream' hip-hop albums over the last few years have actually included a Drake verse somewhere so if the people who're actually making and making a living from hip-hop appreciate what he brings to the table and you guys don't, I'd say it were you lot who're in the wrong on this one.

Wayne did it.

Genuinely give this album a try as apart from maybe DJ, I find it hard to believe that any of you actually listened to it before writing it off. Imagine the shitstorm that would erupt if I wrote off Madvilliany without actually listening to it. Don't be mindless haters guys.

But I do have a basis for writing it off, judging by Drake's previous shi
ttiness.
