Hip hop music is bigger than ever now an it cannot and will not be reserved only for those from the hood. I have found that this type of lifestyle simply provides anecdotal situations to rap about. Living thug life is not prerequisite for hip hop artists. Also, he's different, he's form the burbs, he's educated, he doesn't have the "traditional" hip hop background I just hope he embraces this and doesn't try to put on a fake show of being thug life, that would be a travesty. That being said, Drake has been able to put together catchy versus with a pretty sick flow that makes many of us wanting more. The problem with hip hop is that its much more difficult to create hit song after hit song when compared to pop music. Look at artists like Katy Perry, a couple cookie cutter hit songs and now she's one of the biggest pop stars in the world! Thats how it works now. This is very characteristic of pop artists currently. However, unlike other artists, he had hit after hit after hit! Also, SICK verses like on I'm goin in with weezy, say something, and lets not get it twisted, best I ever had is just one of the illest songs in a hot while.
Instead, with MAJOR support of young money and other huge names in the biz like Kanye and Jay, he got propelled to the top quick. If this was true, he would have been his plateau last year and he'd be in everyones rear view mirror.
Alright, Drake's rapid rise to fame is much more warranted than other artists who come out with a monster song and fade away.
