Thank Me Later for taking you Higher

Lupe, Andre 3000, Jay Elec, Talib, these are a few of the artist that keep hip hop an art form. Jay, Nas they are fantastic but both have the tendency to go commercial at any moment if the money is right. Now 2 artist that are very interesting right now are Drake and J Cole, because both are aware of hip hop history, show mad love to the the greats before them and are very lyrically gifted but they don't rap to their potential.

Drake is a MONSTER, but its hard to keep up with him because he squanders his punch lines on sissy shit. He's so into rapping about broads that he rarely gives you anything like, Fear or Uptown or You Know You Know. A large portion of this I feel is he can't show up label mate Lil Wayne. If you listen to any of Wayne's music when he began to blow up, it screams Drake. Since he has given Weezy this image through his lyrics, he can't take that persona back so Weezy reeps the benefits of Drake's better flows. The flows directed towards females is .what's selling right now, and his label has him pushing that crap out like clock work. Us hip hop heads don't wanna hear Find Your Love when were expecting What I'm Thinking Right Now. Also with Drake being an actor, you can clearly see he is acting out a role when he performs. It's like he studied a bunch of his favorite rappers and incorporated their onstage presence into his own.

Cole I recently got hip to, but I already think the dude is SICK. He makes hip hop fun with his punch lines, and he delivers shit that makes you have to listen to it again. My only problem with Cole so far is that he taps about hoes and is too playful with his lyrics. If he got a real topic and left the bitches alone dude would be bananas. He has Nas type flow in him and when he perfects his craft he will be mentioned as one of the dopest ever. He handled the so called he and Drake beef wonderfully, which shows his mind frame is ready for the spotlight.
