If J. Cole and Drake are the future of Hip Hop then Hip Hop has a bleak future. Drake tweeted about jumping on J. Cole’s “In The Morning” track off his ‘Friday Night Lights’ mixtape which drops today. I go hard on Drake but I love his music. That’s why this track is disappointing. What happened to Drake’s lyrical swag? Doesn’t he hear his fans pleas for him to stop singing?
Even rapper Sagon says Drake’s buzz is dying:
“And no disrespect. I love Drake, but I don’t think too many people are really anticipating his next album like crazy. Like, you almost know what you’re gonna expect from him: the love songs, singing. He makes great music, but you never know with those guys. The thing is, [Lil] Wayne is the Madonna of rap. He reinvents himself every two years, that’s why Wayne’s been around for so long. People be thinking he’s a new artist a lot. Wayne is a vet. Wayne got like 14 years in the game.” (VIBE)
