Drake Says that Macklemore Apologizing to Kendrick Lamar was “Whack as Fuck”

Drizzy did an interview with Rolling Stone and commented on Macklemore apologizing to Kendrick for the whole GRAMMYs situation. Drake said:

“I was like, ‘You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn’t deserve it, go get better — make better music,’” he tells us. “It felt cheap. It didn’t feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won?”

I did think it was kinda whack that Macklemore felt the need to post the picture of the text though. That’s sort of like when celebrities do nice things and then broadcast it. I wonder if Drake would’ve had this reaction if Macklemore apologized to him instead of Kendrick. Noticed how nobody said “Drake got robbed”?

No rapper had a better year than Drizzy in levels of consistency. Dude been dropping hit after hit since the start of 2013. Fuck “Started from the Bottom” tho… He dropped another successful album in “Nothing was the Same”, started the “Versace” frenzy, dropped the fire “5AM in Toronto”, so on and so forth. This was Drake’s year, no doubt.

EXP Award for Best Instrumental: TIE Between “Pound Cake”, “Tom Ford”, & “Nosetalgia”

All of the other awards had definitive winners, but on this one, I really couldn’t pick just one.

“Pound Cake”, produced by Boi-1da, is heavenly. It’s so laid back and chill, has that singing in the background, and the Wu-Tang sample. Shit is great.

Timbaland been making bangers for Jay Z for years.The beat is the only reason I like “Tom Ford”. The video game samples and the energy just make this beat really fun to listen to.

“Nosetalgia”‘s beat, produced by Nottz, is raw as fuck. It’s gritty and has those electric guitar riffs that took this track to a whole ‘nother level of dopeness.

All three are extremely well-constructed beats.

Drake: Top 5 Best Songs

Light Up

The best track on his debut album, Thank Me Later. A simple, yet hard-hitting beat, started off with some piano keys. Drake had a dope verse on here with some quotables. I think Jay Z had a great verse on this, and I’m not really a Jay Z fan. It’s hard to deny he can be nice on the mic when he really tries though.

The Calm

This ended replacing “Too Much”, which was a song I originally had on this list. Drake has quite a few good venting songs that don’t come off as corny, “The Calm” being a great example. 40 made a good beat, and Drake complimented it well his verses. I really like that “Women need attention, therefore women will complain, develop hatred for men, and say that you’re the one to blame.” line on here. Now ain’t that the truth….

5AM in Toronto

Bars nigga…. bars. No hook, no singing, just bars. This is better than just about every song on Nothing Was the Same, which makes me wonder why this song wasn’t on the album. I like when Drake leaves the “I’m tryna save these hoes” gimmick at home and showcases his rapping ability. He had aggression, and overall just very good presence. This is one of my favorite songs to drop this year. “Without me, rap is just a bunch of orphans. But if I stay , then this shit is a bunch of corpses.”

Say What’s Real

I like this WAY more than Kanye’s “Say You Will”. Drake put alot into this song, and is actually my favorite Drake song. Like “The Calm”, it’s another one of his venting songs that don’t come off as corny. He put emotion into it, which added alot of feeling to the track. He talked about his frustrations with the music industry and his personal life.  “I’ve always been something that these labels can’t buy, especially if they tryna take a piece of my soul.”  Great track.

Pound Cake

The beat for “Pound Cake” is just heavenly. Shoutout to Boi1da. Phenomenal instrumental. This was a really good way of closing out Nothing was the Same. This and “Paris Morton 2” sounded like it was the closing of a chapter. Drake had the confidence that I enjoy hearing from him, and once again shows that he’s not just interested in whining about relationships. The only issue I have with this is Jay Z’s verse. This nigga wasn’t even trying, which is a shame because my expectations for his feature on here was high because of his “Light Up” verse. Drizzy beat you on this one, Jigga.
