    1. DRAKE IS BULLSHIT RAP, CHEESY RAP…NOT INTO THIS GARBAGE AT ALL, IT IS FUCKIN BULLSHIT, HIP-HOP IS DEAD AND BELONGS TO FAGGOTS

    2. DRAKE AND HIS EMOTIONAL STRAIGHT BITCH RAPS, SOMEONE SHOULD SLAP THIS FUCKIN LOSER TO THE FLOOR

    3. his album got pushed back because the “OVER” single didn’t blow the fu%^ up like they had hoped…oh well…either i ain’t anticipating or copping his lp anyway…

    5. How well do you think an album would sell from a major Artist …Jay Z, Eminem, 50 cent, if they released it with no promo. Like you walk into the record store and damn there’s a new Eminem cd just sitting there. I personally think that would be sick and I would gain mad respect for the artist. It would be like blam, a sweet surprise. What do you all think about that?

      1. WTF. An artist on a major would never do that. That’s the whole point of being on a major, they can support you with a strong marketing push and supply the budget to make videos for your singles, ect.

        Happens for plenty of indies though, probably not by choice though, haha. Save that surprise shit for a mixtape, or maybe even an EP, but it would be dumb to do it for a full length LP and not sell to your full potential.

        Or maybe it could work if they dropped it with no promo, but then once the word spread that it was out, that’s when they came with the marketing force.

        Still, they wouldn’t do that since majors put so much value into first week sales.

    6. Wowwwwwwwwwww!!!Recently, I came across a hot military dating club.

      There are many sassy ladies and handsome military guys seeking fun, friendship, love ,marriage and even more!!!!! Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

    7. Faithums thinks that Drakes hype has just about run up. Faithums means liike he had a good run in 2009. and even had Faithums jammin’ to his records but Faithums cmon, whens the last hot record you heard from this Yellow-Piece-Of Shit. Faithums opinion is that “Over” is a very cheesy song with boring punchlines and annoying flow, and Faithums isn’t alone. Drakes next single better be better, or he can kiss his Faithums career goodbye homie. Faithums.

      1. Come on now, what does a Sprite Comm has to do with it. KRS1, Nas and AZ, Common, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Goodie Mob, have all done Sprite Comm’s and they’re all legit.

    8. Wtf happened to hip hop than people started giving a shit about Drake’s album? Man’s work consists straight up of bitch raps and emo crap. My problem is really with Young Money – a joke of a set, screw Weezy and Baby dem gay-ass fucks, screw Cash Money and screw their shitty releases.

    9. HIS SHIT GONE END UP LEAKING HE BETTER STOP PLAYING AND DROP THAT SHIT BEFORE THESE INTERNET HACKERS DO

    10. He must have heard J.Cole’s shit and ran back to the lab LOL

      I’ve been saying it since day 1. Synth pop beats, songs about girls and money. drake ain’t nothing special. he needs to drop a street single where he’s just ripping it bar for bar with no hook.

      Until that day…

    12. Does this really require news. I didn’t want to even comment on this shit, but really this nigga is at about 14m 58s. I wish those last 2s would hurry the hell up. I mean seriously the jury is still out on this kid and he has had everything given to him. Who gets features with the people he’s gotten features with? And don’t say thats a testament to his talent level. Its the hype machine and the hunger for established artists to make themselves relevant to this cookie cutter 106 & Park audience. Mary J. – timeless, Jay-Z – was timeless and shrewd business acumen, Timbaland – top 3 producer of all time but thats his job is to make hits, he’s not an artist. When Drake gets a beat from DJ Premier or Dr. Dre, or gets a shout out from M.O.P, Sean P., and Freddy Fox, that’ll be the day I go and get on the bandwagon. Until then, I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid – THE DOPEREST!!!

      1. Yeah this cat has no street cred…except for on the set of Degrassi High…LOL…This cat would be easy pickins for a guy like 50 Cent right now….someone needs to eat off this dudes plate until he aint got no more food LOL….I’d love to see someone go at this guy like 50 killed Ja…PLEASE….if your better than good….destroy this kid and rise to the top…..this is the guy that comes with a black eye from the school yard every week….

    13. damm i need this album. this is gonna step up everyones game. he got a classic in the work. straight heat rockets, he got the most swag outta any mc out there. he be pumpin the block just in time for summer, youll catch me blasting this in my corrolla

      1. “He’s got the most swag…” LOL, I always laugh whenever someone talks about swag.

      2. And, I like how it’s a classic already…..prob due to his swag points, or whatever these youngins call it.

    14. “He must have heard J.Cole’s shit and ran back to the lab LOL”

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^AGREED……Drake must have a scouter at J.Cole’s shows. Heard his Sob’s performance shitted on his from last year, which I went to both and Drake shit was an industry concert compared to J.Cole’s Hip-Hop performance……Thank Me Later, fuck that, I didn’t grow up with manners. *fin*

      1. Or probably heard B.o.B.’s material. Drake was probably like “Damn, this guy’s more creative than I am!” J.Cole’s work is nice too.

    15. Whooooo boy…. seems like the people want Drake to stop being a sappy R and B rapper (term used lightly) and actually bring some real hip hop??

      With this happen ??? HELL NAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drake is what he is, and he is making loot so he aint gon change. Toronto Stand UP For real tho!

    17. Daaaaamn this is why hip-hop is dead, a bunch of hating ass sofa critics sitting at their work procrasiHATING on a young rapper making his money, instead of actually DOING THEIR JOB.

      Yo, the MOPs and the Gurus and all those old ass dudes won’t come back. Drake is the next generation of hip-hop whether you like it or not. His 15 minutes is up? Check his youtube hits, check his EP sales, check his singles on the billboard.. He’s staying, just because we’ve got 30 hating ass retards on this article spewing their garbage doesn’t mean dudes time is up.. This album will decide his future in the genre but as it is right now he’s got everything going for him. If he makes this album just as good as So Far Gone he’ll be a strong force for yeeeaaars to come… Fucking haters choke on a molotov coctail.

    19. Y all americans are funny, i like J cole and i like the old Drake but the fact that J cole is a “true” american (whatever that means) makes y’all root for him over Drizzy coz he’s from Canada and deep down y’all can’t get over the fact that A FOREIGNER IS THE HOTTEST IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW, suck it up niggaz and i’m not canadian nor american, i’m from Gabon in Africa but i follow the shit, Drake did grind on a hip hop level, he put out different mixtapes not his fault if you ain’t peeped them. Let’s see how J.cole is gonna do, it’s always easier when you the underdog, but being with Jigga may not necessarily be a good move for him, let’s see… AT THE TIME JIGGA WOULD VE SIGNED DRAKE OVER J COLE IF IT HAD CAME TO THAT AND YOU KNOW IT! NOT COZ HE S BETTER BUT AT THE TIME JIGGA WAS FEELING DRIZZY MORE IT SHOWED EVEN IN INTERVIEWS, DRIZZY TURNED HIM DOWN COZ HE WANTED TO BE LOYAL TO WEEZY? THE PERSON THAT GOT HIM THERE, CAN T BLAME HIM!

      1. Bullshit! It has nothing to do with him being Canadian. J.Cole can spit…and not off his black berry either.

        1. He sounds like Wayne with that lazy flow and auto tune bullshit. 2.) All he’s dropped is synth pop bullshit 3.) All his shit is about girls, cars, and money. He’s not saying anything new. Go listen to the Warm up. It’s about all that shit plus politics, storytelling and str8 shitting on other rappers. Cudi is special, Wale is special (tho his album sucked), B.o.B. is special. There’s nothing redeeming about Drakes generic rap formula.

        Old Drake might have been nice but he’s turned into hot garbage. Tell me one song Drakes dropped since getting on with YM that made you say, “This kid is nice”? I’m a real HIP HOP fan. It’s not about who’s hottest, it’s about who has real talent. If its about who’s the hottest, then you’re probably a Black Eyed Peas fan since they’ve been in the top 10 and gone @least plat every time they dropped something.

        I’m waiting…

      2. Drake has some talent, but he is either A) dumbing it down in order to cater to the genre of ignorance that most hip-hop has become, or B) rappin’ about the same shit because it’s easy and that’s what the radio execs want to hear. Either way, I think he may be better than he is leading on. I, for one, am tired of his voice, generic rhymes and his corny punchlines. Anyone can rap about money, hoes, clothes, or ice. And, if thats the only shit youre accustomed to hearing, then Drake would probably be ‘the hottest in the game’ in your book.

      3. It has nothing to do with him being Canadian. I’m from Toronto and we gotta stop using that as an excuse. Drake ain’t all that. Yeah he’s got talent, but we can’t forget about the dope emcees making noise up north. (K’naan, Kardinal, Saukrates, Shad, k-os, etc.)

    20. this whole thing with release dates is absolutely ridiculous… although we have to recognize in hip-hop we are dealing with what we refer to as “colored people time” (not meant as a racist remark, just a social observation that can just as easily occur in caucasians)… all im saying is that when a brotha says its gonna drop in march, don’t expect it until september

      1. Like Kanye West said…”I’ll be there in 5 minutes….5 hours later, I’ll be there in five minutes!” Niggaz…….

    21. I think the longer he stalls the more its going to be a detriment to his career, I never really was feeling drake, but did reconize that he had a buzz in the summer of 09, but with those sub-par verses lately, and with that weak ass single over, his shine has dulled, and buzz has just about fizzled out, he should have dropped at the end, or beginning of the year

    22. smart, keep pushing the date back makes people want it even mo, sells mo albums
      keep building that anticipation,

    23. Wat most of u niggas r failing to realize about his flow is dat he only spittin wat he kno and wat he live. since dat nigga aint frm the hood or a fake ass thug like most of these rappers today all he can rap about is money and girls and shit. he stick to da life he live and aint nun wrong wit dat. Im’ not really a fan of dat nigga but i respect him for doing shit dat he comfortable wit instead of talkin bout he a gangsta and shit when everybody kno dat shit aint true.

      1. So your saying if you’re not from the hood/doing thug shit, there’s nothing else to rap about after cars, clothes, girls & ice?

      2. So your saying if you’re not from the hood/doing thug shit, there’s nothing else to rap about after cars, clothes, girls & ice?

      3. I dont care if you rhyme about a cracker jack box, you can make it sound dope as hell with intricate wordplay and slick metaphors. Why do these cats limit themselves to the same boring ass topics??

    24. “Over” is decent… don’t care if he a canadian or Jewish.. dude can make hits.. I’m looking forward to it actually…

    25. They hate on Drake because, he is a foreigner. LOL Your tv is foreign, your clothes is foreign, your dinner probably will be foreign, your car is foreign, but Niggrs have to be home grown. LOL We understands our niggras! They like there gold in their mouth, baby mommas, and spending all the money on the white gals. We can predict them. Them foreign niggras like saving money and sending their youngins to school! That aint American. That aint no niggra behavior. He might teach the rest of em to read them books!! Books is for white people!!

      1. Lol, are there no ppl in Canada with golds, or who’s not married but have children, or spend there money on white gals(sound f*ckn stupid). Just like there are some ppl here in the states with f*ckd up priorities, I’m sure there are some in Canada as well. You sound just as dumb as the rest of these clowns on here, and probably thought that you were making sense. GTFOH

    26. First, for you folks on here that keep saying y’all Americans or you Americans, you need to kill that, because the few ppl on here that have their opinions and feelings about this guy being a Canadian are just that, their feelings, they don’t represent all Americans. Please don’t put every American in a box, because of a few. You sound just as ignorant as the ppl insulting him because he’s Canadian.@TRUTH TELLER @Black White Supremist Some ppl come on here to bait ppl like you, you fall for it, and you stoop to their level

      Now as far as him not being legit, because he doesn’t rap about the street is just stupid, because not everyone who enjoys rap can relate to what’s going on in the streets, but that doesn’t take anything away from what rappers in those lanes are rapping about. Some of you can’t relate to Gucci rapping about yellow diamonds, or this rapper rapping about his Maybach, or that rapper rapping about screwing diff females just because they can, but you still listen. As a matter of fact most rappers can’t relate to what goes on in the streets now days, because more than likely they’re not in the streets anymore, unless all of their songs are referring to the past. It’s as simple as that.

      As for the ppl that are just being insulting, why even pay attention to them, more than likely these are the ppl who are baiting ppl, are unhappy, because either their favorite rapper didn’t get put on or don’t get the same cosigns, or buzz(can’t blame Drake for that) or they couldn’t make it so like most they result to trying to bring ppl down with insults, which is just sad. At the end of the day everyone has an opinion, I will admit that I’m not a fan of everything that he put out so far, but I don’t see a point in insulting him either.

      Some of you need to get yourselves together. Put all this energy that you use to call ppl names and being “haters” behind whatever your hustle is and maybe you too can be as successful in whatever it is that you do.

    28. NO ONE IS ANTICIPATED FOR THIS GARBAGE! I WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO LIL WAYNE THAN THIS WANNABE RIPOFF OF HIM!!!

      HIPHOPDX STOP BEING FAGGOTS AND STOP BIGGIN HIM UP! WE NO U GET $$ TO BIG UP MAINSTREAM ACTS BUT ONLY REASON HE KNOWN IS CUZ THE MEDIA IS PUSHIN HIM !!!! TAKE THAT AWAY AND HES SHIT!!!!!!THIS IS Y ALMOST ALL THE DRAKE NEWS GET HATE! CUZ NO ONE LIKES HIS WACK ASS!!!

      1. hes done more than your sorry ass… Drake is a masterpiece, he must be good if Eminem and Dr.Dre and Jay-Z look at him as an upcoming great. Lil Wayne sucks more dick than any other rapper except for Gucci Mane, sorry but you really dont know hip hop, Drake is one of the very few that are keeping hip hop from completely fizzling out (along with Eminem, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Game and soon to be Dr.Dre) . why would you comment on something that you know nothing about, if you hate Drake so much then dont comment…. fuckin tool

    29. lol fuck drake hes wack as fuck. j-cole is the newest best shit comin out. he gon blow up watch

      lol i agree with that hiphopdx ridin up on the mainstream’s cocktails. i mean, they always put their top 5 or hottestsingle/pick of the week to be drake wen he releases a track, no matter how wack he is. dis is y i dont trust hiphopdx’s opinions.

    30. On some real ish, i wish so-called “Hip-Hop purists” would learn to appreciate music that isn’t made in tribute to the ’90’s. Drake is good… at what he does. He can’t do what Nas does, or what Kam Moye does, or even what some of you may do. But honestly, the kid is talented, and there’s a very good reason Hip-Hop DX is ridin’ with him: he makes good music. ‘Nuff said!

      1. if he was making good music i would agree with this…..but hes not. his music is usually dumbed down, i can see potential in him but ever since he signed with young money hes going even more downhill. i agree that hes at the moment, he’s a wannabe unpolished blueprint of lil wayne.

        i think that cats thats gonna blow up like j-cole, jay electronica, and jay rock(lol they’re all j’s haha) are a better investment for hiphop as a whole. ill rather put my money on them. they’re undisputedly better, have more skill on the mic than drake, and they got enough people/media backin them up(roc nation, just blaze, warner records,etc)! watch out 2010! and most of all, they not just in it for the $$ like trust fund baby drake is.

    31. fuckk soo many hateerzz wow..ya’ll need to chill man drake is illmatic of this time nobody comparing him to n e one he’s himself..let the man drop his album then talk as much shit as you want..n this man always says toronto i got you so be sayin he doesnt rep canada..ya’ll dont understand the man need learn more about your hip-hop then be judgin people hes hood boy so he wont rap bout the hooed..he grew up with money now theres too much he can talk all he wants so dont hate..he’s made a name now its the next step wait for is album and thank him later..chi chi fuckin manss

      1. Kill yourself for saying Drake is “illmatic” of this time. Comparing his music to Illmatic is blasphemy. While I admit Drake is talented, don’t ever EVER f***ing compare him to an elite emcee who pried the game wide open with 1 Freakin’ Verse!

        It’s guys like you who always complain about haters but at the same time give someone too much credit, as if this n***a is 6 albums deep. People give their opinions (or hate, to you) because the majority see bullsh**, just like I see bullsh** with your “drake is illmatic of this time” statement. FOH.

      2. You show your lack of knowledge by saying he’s the illmatic of our time. Illmatic is somethin that was so far ahead of its time people still talk bout it today Drake will be gone when people get tired of the meaningless lyrics and the hip pop he produces. Fuck all of Young Money and anyone who calls me a “hater” i don’t hate em cause they are successful i hate em cause they make bad music there’s a difference

    32. if he was making good music i would agree with this…..but hes not. his music is usually dumbed down, i can see potential in him but ever since he signed with young money hes going even more downhill. i agree that hes at the moment, he’s a wannabe unpolished blueprint of lil wayne.

      i think that cats thats gonna blow up like j-cole, jay electronica, and jay rock(lol they’re all j’s haha) are a better investment for hiphop as a whole. ill rather put my money on them. they’re undisputedly better, have more skill on the mic than drake, and they got enough people/media backin them up(roc nation, just blaze, warner records,etc)! watch out 2010! and most of all, they not just in it for the $$ like trust fund baby drake is.

      hiphopdx needs to get up on people who are actually good contrary to the people getting massive media backing.

    33. Wowwwwwwwwwww!!!Recently, I came across a hot military dating site.
      If you put “Blackmilitary” and “friend s ” together, then you will get the great URL
      It’s a nice and free place where military personals and civilian friends seeking friendship, love marriage and even more!!!!! Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

    34. Question? How are cats saying J. Cole is way better than Drake? I’ve heard a couple tracks and 1 mixtape from J. Cole, and he’s alright…. I’ve heard about 6 mixtapes on Drake, some before Young Money, and dude is cold

      1. j coles The Warmup>everything drake ever done, especially including all his young money sell out shit!!!!!!!!

      2. the warm up was banging but yea like he said drakes got 3 mixtapes and the dudes niice your all gonna find out and thank him later for bringing life back into hip hop he makes hardcore dudes from the projects singing i just wanna be successful

        but dont get it twisted j. cole is the next big thing drakes already huuge i cant wait for both their albums

    35. first of all, niggas need to stop hating on drake just cuz hes canadian. big ups to lil wayne for going and snatching that nigga out of toronto. lyrically, hes one the best since luda. im not comparing him to luda, but drake killing shit right now. second of all, his buzz is slowly fading away and he needs to drop this album sooner rather than later because if his shit is wack, niggas gone be like u made me wait this long for this shit. but if his shit is legit, hes gonna be on some lebron-type shit. so just drop the damn album already.
