Charlamange Tha God Says The Drake Era Is “Over”

Source: PYMCA / Getty If Drake isn’t still the top Hip-Hop artist in the game he’s easily in the top two or three of the genre’s echelon, but according to Charlamange Tha God, the era of the 6 God has come to an end. Known for not exactly being Drake’s biggest fan, Tha God shocked many when he said he wasn’t just not looking forward to Drizzy’s upcoming project Certified Lover Boy, but that the Canadian crooner/rapper’s reign was basically a wrap. During his Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne explained that he felt Drake had already given us everything he could during his illustrious career and didn’t know if the “Back-To-Back” rapper had anything left to impress. “Drake has given us so much music that I don’t know if he has another gear,” Tha God bluntly stated. “We know Kendrick has a...

“Am I Not Worthy?”: Trump Supporter Lil Wayne Addresses Grammy Snub

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Lil Wayne may be number one on the cancel list, but after the Grammys released their 2021 nominee and attendee list—he’s in his feelings. On Sunday (Dec 20), the Trump supporting rapper took to social media to shares his thoughts on once again being snubbed by the Grammys, as both a nominee and an artist in attendance, calling out the recording academy for the repeated oversight regarding his more recent body of work—before adding that he already has five that he uses to push him in the studio. “As an artist, when I see da Grammys coming up & I’m not involved nor invited; I wonder. Is it me, my musik, or just another technicality?” Lil Wayne wrote. “I look around w respect & wonder competitively am I not worthy?! Then I look around & see 5 Gram...

He’s never hidden the fact that he was M.O.T. … so a generation of Jewish parents could tell their kids “if Drake took the time to study for HIS Bar Mitzvah, you can too.” Ladies and gentlemen…challah at your boy….DRAKE!” the duo said of the song.

On Brand: Drake Is Really Selling Drake-Scented Candles

Source: PYMCA / Getty Is there any artist more self-aware than Drake? The 6 God is now selling “Drake-scented” candles, and it couldn’t be more on brand. The Toronto rapper has never been one to try to pose too tough beyond his bars, and the constant singing and melancholy tunes has shown he has no problem embracing his emo-side. That’s a side stereotypically attuned to images of bubble baths and candles, so it only makes sense that the “Marvin’s Room” rapper is now officially in the candle game. As first reported by InStyle, a brand called Better World Fragrance House has not so quietly revealed it is launching five “ultra lux candles.” You may remember that Drake gifted the then-new NBA champion Toronto Raptors’ players with candles that had personal messages on them, which in hindsight ...

The Most Influential Artists: #32 Drake

As part of our 35th-anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #32. From Toronto, Ontario, Canada, here’s Drake. CREDIT: Paras Griffin/Getty Images You can easily compare Aubrey Graham to one of those automatic baseball-pitching machines. Every throw somehow lands exactly where he wants it.  Drawing from Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak playbook, Drake’s first move was his 2009 breakout So Far Gone, a mixtape that truly “sounded like an album,” as opposed to, well, a mixtape. And while his signature sing-rapping smashes haven’t since found their way onto equally great albums — with Take Care a major exception — Drizzy could be modern music’s most consistent hit-maker. Attempting to even list his top five is impossible — there really is...

Source: Phillip Faraone / Getty Whew, that’s a relief, is what some Drake fans are saying after SZA revealed their favorite rapper wasn’t out here being a creep. Drizzy had fans talking last week when he revealed he and SZA used to date her over a decade ago on the track “Mr.Right Now” off 21 Savage’s and Metro Boomin’s latest project Savage Mode reportedly prompting her to hit the unfollow button. But, that was not the only thing that raised the listener’s eyebrows.
