The Influence of Drake: The Good, The Bad, & The UGLY

Drake is an artist who has been one of the most influential individuals on my music taste of any other musician. I will always hold a significant place in my heart for my first listens of So Far Gone, Take Care, Scorpion... but the last few years have hurt me greatly.

This is not a video about why "all of Drake's new music sucks!" and how he's just the worst person ever; it's a commentary and examination of how Drake has changed the culture surrounding popular music and what I believe we can do as fans to move this influence back in a positive direction.

Do I think we can create a large enough voice to actually turn the tides? I don't know, but I'd rather fail at something important than be complacent...

What do you think of this record? Let's talk about it in the comments!

Thanks so much for watching. Every subscriber/viewer means a lot to me, and I appreciate every like and comment. Let me know what you think about the video or the album and I'd love to have a discussion in the comments! Music is meant to be discussed to assimilate ideas and to grow as people.

I am a Christian and student and I made this channel when I was in high school. I started this channel because I love talking about music (specifically hip hop) and given that the genre seems to be going downhill, I want to be part of the community that preserves the expectation of great music and dissecting what makes a beautiful record. Dealing with a lack of friends to discuss these matters with, I hoped to start my own community that loves music just as I do, as well as to provide a unique perspective as a follower of Christ that also appreciates this community. I appreciate everyone who watches and I am truly happy to see anybody comment their thoughts on a project I talk about.

Put "HOW MUCH TIME IS THIS GUY SPENDING ON THE INTRO?" as your comment if you read the description!

As always, thank you very much for watching and taking time out of your day to discuss music with me, God bless. Isaiah 55:8-12
