Drake The Rapper is Overrated and Trash

Framework My interpretation of the resolution stands. My opponent has not challenged the interpretation. Which is overrated being a reference to drake"s rapping, and the garbage portion being a reference to Drake"s morality and practice of ethics. Douchebag I lot of people think that Drake is overrated because he is a douchebag. It"s more about a personal problem they have with him than anything to do with his actual talent. I admit it. Drake"s a douchebag. The way he carries himself, the way he talks, the way he dresses. He also insulted his own family on Saturday Night Live once. It was joking, but he felt bad enough that he had to apologize to them anyway. However, being a douchebag is just part of being Canadian. I"ve never met a Canadian that wasn"t a douchebag. That"s just the way those people are, and as much as I"d like to see them wiped from the face of God"s green Earth, they"re nice people. They also have the privilege of being home to the greatest rapper of all time""Drake. The kid who started off in a wheelchair and had to teach himself how to walk again and who would eventually grow up to be the greatest rapper of all time. Greatest Rapper of All Time I"d say that Drake is arguably the greatest rapper of all time, for a variety of reasons. He actually did start from the bottom of the rap world if you think about it. People like their rappers to start out with extremely rough lives, and from tough backgrounds. Look at Rick Ross. He had to pretend to be a drug kingpin to make it in the rap industry because he knew admitting he was a prison guard early on would spell an end to his rap career, before it even started. http://www.thesmokinggun.com... While Rick Ross had the advantage of being able to lie about his past to overcome the initial prejudices, against people not starting out with crappy lives in the rap industry, Drake had no such option due to his career as an actor in the television series Degrasse. Drake started out as a well-paid actor, from an upper middle class, maybe even wealthy background, and is a Jewish Canadian. With all the prejudice against Drake, because of his great upbringing and lucky start in life, he needed to be good at rapping to make it as big as he did. His rap skills, forced people to take him serious. http://www.aux.tv... Believe it or not, rapping talent is extremely subjective, but when we look at what this guy has produced when the whole world was against his career, it is simply amazing. People were forced to recognize his talent. Fans have propelled him to ten number one singles, which is more than the Beetles, and also more than any other rapper ever. So he is arguably the best rapper of all time. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca... Most Hated Rapper Alive I"d say that if you look at the facts it will show that Drake is in fact, typically rated very low as a rapper, besides be the greatest selling rapper of all time. You can go to a single hip hop thread without hearing people hate on Drake. How can somebody who receives so much hate be overrated. If you look at all these threads, what everybody says about Drake, he is arguably more hated than Adolph Hitler. Drake would literally have to be Adolph Hitler to be more hated than he is now. With everyone saying he sucks, while secretly enjoying his music and giving him a number one hit ten different times, it"s pretty clear Drake is in fact underrated. http://www.passionweiss.com... Quick Rebuttals, and Conclusion My opponent argues that Drake cannot freestyle but that is entirely subjective, and not important at all. Drake is a recording artist. Insulting a recording artist for not being able to freestyle, would be like calling Muhammad Ali a bad fighter because despite all his success in the ring, he sucks in street fights. It"s simply a nonsensical position. I"ve addressed the part about Drake starting at the bottom as far as rap music is concerned, and my opponent has yet to show how Drake is a bad person. My opponent also fails to show how Drake is rated highly, at all by anyone. I"d say since he"s the most hated rapper alive, he is rated extremely low.
