anyone here likes a drake’s cake?

Nas doesn’t know WTF he’s talking about anymore. Drake is fuckin’ wack. Too much R&B shit in his music and sounds too much like a lot of the other rap shit playing now a days. Another direction, lol. If by another direction you mean the same one, then yeah, I agree. Otherwise, Nas fell the fuck off years ago, so I’m not sure he knows a damn thing about hip hop anymore.

Nas NEVER said he was good. He said he is the most musically serious at the moment. Wayne is musically serious but Wayne isn’t really good.

And for being the fresh water right now, I agree. He is not doing southern music, has a different sound(though copies styles) and rhymes are somewhat decent.

All in all though, with the crap that people have been putting out in hip-hop recently, it doesn’t say much. This is in Nas’s defense, just actually looking at what he said.

When so much crap out today, decent stuff sounds great.
