Why do people like Drake? (RANT)

Why do people like Drake?

Can someone explain why people like this "rapper"

Alright unless you've been sleeping under a rock for the past year or two, you've heard of a Canadian Rapper called Drake. He's been blowing up the music charts for the past couple of years, and I don't really understand the appeal of this guy.

I would say that my musical tastes are somewhat broad, but I mostly like rock, and sometimes other styles that reinvent older music. Before you say, "Well guy, you just hate rap music you hater!" No, I will admit I don't like most rap music, but there are some songs I do like in the genre. Frankly I respect more of the rappers from the 80's and 90's more so, over most today. But this article is not about the state of rap, just Drake.

So, Drake... why? Just why? Why is this boring monotone so popular. His music makes me want to fall asleep of boredom. He has probably the most uninteresting voice out right now. How could people find this man interesting? He just seems so uninterested in the music he puts out.

Let me give you an example, for instance in his song that came out a little while ago, Nice For What, he doesn't even sound like he's raping. He just sounds like he's trying to speak and match a rhythm but he doesn't seem that interested. This song almost reminds me of another bad song that came out this year.

Sorry for rambling on, but I really just don't get it. It's honestly the darnedest thing, and a complete anomaly to me.

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
