Drake



Drake has a new song and I think he goes in. People might question why Drake is so dope. This guy has some serious rewind factor and drops really dope metaphors. I appreciate a writer who does not state the obvious in his raps like I’m dope, I’m the best MC and I drive a Benz. Of course those are all part of rapper swagger, but if you are able to get your point across without stating the obvious I love it. It shows you how the persons mind works.

Think about the Clipse, they talked about selling mad drugs without having to literally say I SELL DRUGS. know what I mean?

The other dope thing about Drake is how he puts words together. It’s the same reason why I love BIG. I can’t explain it but you hear the order in which they place their words and how they rhyme them together. Very Clever! I don’t want hate mail I am not saying Drake is in the same league as BIG, I am just saying he uses similar methods.

Some dope metaphors to look out for:

“Only see the road trough the wings of an Angel” meaning : I only see the road from the back of a Rolls Royce (the Rolls Royce has a Angel as the front ornament)

“Drake was at the club and he Ball’d like no hair”
Listen to the song and please give me your feedback (positive or negative)
thanks
