Black's Lips' Guitarist Says Drake is Kinda Fake

Black Lips is an American rock band, and their guitarist (Cole Alexander) recently said Drake appears fake to him. He said this during an interview with A.V Club, in a segment where you have to name the song you hate the most in the world. He gave that title to Lorde's Royal, but he said he would have picked DJ Khaled's No New Friends, solely for his Drake hate. Read his words below.






"I’m sure he has some struggles in his life like everyone does, but I just don’t like Drake...He seems kind of fake to me. I like my rappers more ghetto and ratchet-sounding. Personally, I like more melodramatic, ignorant Rap where they’re talking about violence and anger and it’s just evil. I don’t like when it’s too conscious, I don’t like it when it’s too smart. To me, it’s just like a gangster movie. In a gangster movie, you don’t want to see polite guys. You want to see them do horrible shit. It’s a movie. It’s entertainment, and, at the end of the day, music is entertainment. It might reflect what has happened, but a lot of times it’s an art form of telling stories.”





This is really funny to me...this dude is saying Drake is fake because he is not an ignorant gangster? Because he is being himself? Hmm! So, everyone should be one way? Everyone should be gangsters, and rap about selling drugs and killing people? This is the problem I have with some people that believe Hip Hop is all about street music, and bravado ish.
