  1. If drake listened to real hip hop heads he’d be an underground rapper selling 50k albums.. Instead he sells millions of records. Wouldn’t you rather sell millions? I would.

    1. It depends on what you want for your career. Kendrick would rather sound like Kendrick and sell 500k, and eventually go platinum while keeping his soul in the music, where you Drake who’d rather sound like Tom, Dick, and Harry and do millions of records that are sold to sheep.
