Anybody else here not like Drake...like at all? Or am I a one man show strumming the banjo to an empty room? Just curious.
He has some alright stuff but in general is vastly overrated. Like "Hold On We're Going Home" has so little substance to it and yet it was consistently named one of the top songs of the year? That's some dumb shit.

I agree with you. I kinda feel like he's leading the charge for mainstream hip hop these days. But aside from singing in his songs, I don't really see what he's doing different. The emotional rap artist persona has been run down the field by Kanye and a few others after him, Drake just seems to be kicking it into the end zone.
But my main issue with his music is how one-dimensional it is. I've listened to his albums and can't really say there's a mosaic of topics in them, besides the derivative "why I'm awesome", "how much money I have", "this girl broke my heart". Any thoughts? Am I wrong? Just a hater? Haven't listened closely enough?

Arctic Monkeys have a bad*** cover of that song, which made me appreciate the original even more:

I loathe Drake, but I hate most mainstream rap/hip hop/etc. It may explain something if I tell you my favorite rapper is Scroobius Pip (Die Antwoord and Saul Williams are up there though).
I am sad to say my wife loves him. But she is also really looking forward to Hozier...so I will not vouch for her taste of music.
Maybe I'm missing something but how would that impact the ability to release the lineup.
Just guessing but if they are in negotiations with a security vendor and there is no agreement in place you can't go ahead and sell 80,000 tickets and hope it resolves itself. Firefly is holding what little bit of leverage they have left until it's resolved. This person said Big Barrel is not effected because the security plan is already in place with the knowledge it will be a much smaller festival. Also read that last year was the first year the festival moved across Dover lines so with a sellout expected (if Paul is true) it's a major detail they have to worry about. Again its all just speculation but I just highly doubt its lineup related at this point.
Either way it's probably time for another blog post from Firefly's director if there is no end in sight to stop this insanity.
It'll be pretty funny when the lineup announcement is followed with "By the way, hope you like dogs! Because we'll have a ton of them! And they do this cool trick where they can find drugs using their noses! Also, there will be no booze this year!"

Jesus. Hating Drake is the new hating Kanye. Everyone "hates" Drake.
Meh, I have to put my two cents in here and say that despite thinking that Kanye is a gigantic tool with just about the biggest ego out there in the world of U.S. musical famedom these days, he is also a lyrical genius and fantastic producer. His music is incredible. Drake, on the other hand, seems like a perfectly nice fellow, I really have no reason to hate on him. But I don't love his music. I find it boring and, as someone else said, thematically repetitive. Give my Kanye's jams over Drake's all day any day.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I'm still reeling from the conversation of people who don't appreciate Prince like 7 pages ago.
I haven't heard Prince in years, so I thought, "Hmm..you know what? My musical tastes have changed as I've matured. Maybe if I try again I will find something I like about Prince."
So I went on Spotify and I checked out a few songs, and lo and behold...

Yup. And I'd like to mention that I too don't care for the person Kanye is, but his music speaks for itself.

Drake is a lot easier to hate than Kanye. Kanye's first few albums were almost universally praised. It wasn't until recently that people started hating Kanye. Drake is nowhere near the same level of talent as Kanye.

I freakin love Drake
Edit:I also love Kanye
I don't feel like I hate Drake I think I just have a hard time respecting him as a true artist. All I think about is him portraying wheelchair bound jimmy on Degrassi

And his real name is Aubrey...
That's not really the point. When someone says "am I the only one who hates Drake?" The correct response probably was "no, idiot."
Here's how you appreciate Drake as a true artist: listen to some of his fucking music. He's a great producer and he's a great R&B singer.
He ain't my favorite by any stretch, but people treat Drake like he's Nickleback or somethig and it's whack.

I've largely stayed out of message board beefs, but I'm going to respond to this one. First off, I didn't say am I the only who hates Drake? And I clarified in a second post what exactly I disliked about his music after listening to all of his albums, and asked people here if they agree, disagree, etc.
I'm not here to raise an army of Drake-Haters if that's what you've gathered from my posts. I'm here to gauge what other people think. And I'd appreciate it if you tone down your aggressive reactions to harmless comments. It's the major factor that sends this thread spiraling into chaos.

I guess my mastery of the English language is failing me.
Sure, if you don't like R&B, I can see not liking Drake. That's fine. But you have to live under an Olympic size rock to not realize that Drake hating is a thing.
But my real criticism is to the "I can't take him seriously because he played a disabled person on TV." That shit's just ridiculous.

I enjoy R&B. I also find Drake to be incredibly boring with absolutely nothing exciting or new to say. His voice is flat and he's not a great R&B singer, but people shouldn't have to justify why they like him though. Just like whatever you like. Who gives a shit what anybody else thinks.
