The problem is that he acts like it when he's not. Talks about running the the 6 with your woes, but Quentin wrote that and we all saw you on Degrassi so thats not what you were doing. Talk about running in your label with a baretta and how you go from 0 to 100 real quick, but you couldn't go 0-100 when Diddy popped your shoulder and rocked your jaw.
Theres nothing wrong with making love songs and songs for the girls and other stuff. The fakeness though is what makes it hard for some people to respect him.
But even then despite all that you could say he makes good music and was a good MC. But now even that is fraudulent with the discovery that he uses ghost writers.
He's just feeling himself too much the fame got to his head, he started getting in the weight room and that boosted his ego, he even talks about how he loves the person who he's become etc. etc.
1. Its a hook. There's not many rappers that write hooks and most that do write terrible hooks that's why guys like 50 were so big for their crews.
2. I don't think he meant he was running through the 6 ten years ago counting money.
3. He's not talking about walking in the label with a gun its a metaphor. The last thing Wayne says before that Baretta line is "Go in the studio with ****' clips, clips, ammo". Basically the whole tape is him letting his ammo go so he's releasing a surprise tape to get closer to ending his deal, filling it with subliminals at Birdman, and walking in the label to get paid for it.
4. 0 to 100 is about his career as in his career went 0 to 100 real quick and how hard he works to stay big. He has lines like "they be on that rap to pay the bill ****/and I don't feel that **** not even a little bit" basically talking about how he decided to immediately pick up endorsements and make himself an icon over the music because there's more money in it. He makes no mention of anything that'll make you think he'd put his hands on people.
5. That said Take Care era Drake that was talking about catching bodies was annoying but he's catching bodies right now so idk what to say about that anymore. I really didn't like that album like that tho.
6. People call him fake but really don't listen to his lyrics. He's a shrewd business man and ruthless hitmaker its what he does and he doesn't hide it. Say what you want but personally I like him for at least giving back to cities he's not even from.
7. You mad he's feeling himself? That's a female feeling right there. He's at the top of the game along with Kendrick (who's feeling himself just as much - look at everything he's done since GKMC) and Kanye (who's feeling himself more than anyone ever). What rapper that's at the top doesn't feel themselves?
