Timbaland On Drake: “He’s The King”

    Timbaland asserted his view that Drake is “the King” during a recent interview with HOT 97.

    After discussing Kanye West’s ability to create hit, radio-accepted records without the use of a traditional chorus, the famed producer went on to praise Drake for the way in which he uses established methods in a contemporary way.

    “That’s why you got to look at homeboy now, he got it – Drake got it,” Timbaland said during the conversation with Ebro Darden and Peter Rosenberg. “He the King. He got it. He doing everything that the people done in the ‘90s, but flipping it in a cooler way. I watch [him] and I say, ‘This dude doing everything. He really studied it. He really studied it and flipped it to this generation.’ People need to pay attention to him. The way he do his business and the way he doing it, it’s on point.”

    Timbaland’s recently released King Stays King mixtape received a 3 out of 5 rating from HipHopDX. In his review, writer Marcus Dowling said: “In total, a producer and artists who have lost a bit of the passion that brought them to stardom reside here, which ultimately causes this mixtape to be less than successful. Can a king still be considered a king without a crown?”

    8. No doubt! People can hate all they want, but when it’s all said and done Drake will be considered one of the greatest of all-time. If he ain’t your top 10, you a hater.

      1. he’s a pop act, not a lyricist, can’t see Nas or even over Jigga or Q-Tip’s shoulders, he’s a long way down the list, and that’s not hatin’, that’s the truth, the drake and kanye generation set the bar so low lyrically, you hear two words that rhyme and is used emotionally and you

    9. timbaland ridin drake’s dick tryin to get him to use his tracks, he would be better off writing some tracks for drake at the same time, drake’s always looking for new writers. FUCK DRAKE FUCK OVO #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK

    10. LOL fake drake gets booed out of the building at a basketball game last night, jay-z gets loud cheers. #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK

    11. Say what you want about Drake but I am putting a new team for Drake. Mac Miller and Mariah Lynn, white people. I am taking Drake out of the black media once and for all. Because Black people got problems like Latinos and cause all the crimes.
