    Be able to so easily fit into urban hood culture where he has fans from the hood, is popular in the black community, he sometimes raps about street content even though he is not from the hood, never lived a street lifestyle, never grew up in the struggle or poverty.

    Even after P Diddy beat him and he never fought back which was no surprise. People from the hood weren't like this guy's a p----

    Is it because he isn't awkward? because he doesn't have an association of having teenage white girl fans?

    If we are honest he is fake as f--- as a person. He rides every wave and steals lyrics and flows from underground toronto MCs.
    But I listen to him 24/7 his music is just good i don't even know man.

    I don't think his music is that good to that extent. He can rap and he's a lyricist yes, he can't sing but somehow his attempt at it he made it work even though he can't sing

    I would say it is because he is not awkward

    he is white as f--- tho. In Interviews and in his acting videos. Don't get the hood love. But who can answer this question here. hood guys don't write in forums.

    Rapper yes but singer h--- no but that's my opinion but that's the general consensus anyway

    Also when i say he is a good rapper i'm not saying he just gets lyrical and sacrifices everything else tries to be too lyrical he has a good balance of being lyrical but sticking to the theme of love songs having a message but executing the message in a lyrical way but not too lyrical

    People just liked his music. It doesn't matter where you're from or how you were brought up if you can get people to enjoy what you put out.

    But Drake is not Jamaican or grew up in the hood

    Why use a Jamaican slang if u are a half Jewish guy from an upper class family raised in the suburbs?

    If you want to use that logic, then nobody who isn't black, outside of US ghettos can make rap music.

    Lil Wayne was the plug, he cosigned him and everyone accepted him in mainstream rap.
