It’s a typical interview… until he speaks on Drake. ICE provided the quote:
“I can’t fuck with Drake. I like Drake as a young man trying to make money but I can’t take him serious because for one he’s rich…I don’t like when these spoiled rich kids just get into rap cause it’s something they could do…and they start rappin about a life they never lived. Niggas like us rap about shit because we lived it these niggas use rap as a hobby.”
I don’t like Drake or listen to him either — does Drake rhyme about selling crack and robberies and shootouts? I thought he just rhymed about that dumb shit that gets hip-pop acts popular…
always like cormega. but that shit just ignorant. drake aint rappin like he lived the hood life.
Drake looks like DJ Khaled’s suicide bomber cousin.
[standing ovation]
lol as i thought cormega speakin the truth & niggas already hating smh
I always thought people used rap to express themselves and tell a story, as far as Im concerned Drake does that… so whats the problem?
People want the kind of rap they want. He probably doesn’t like Kanye or Lupe either. Drake is just the subject of this particular interview. If you want gun talk and hood play then Drake wouldn’t get it done for you.
lol end of the day rap is for the streets weither your conceptual or gangster…u gotta still be from the hood….example..pahrcyde, de la, slum village etc…even the backpacker rappers are from the streets that are dope….
co sign wierd.. look at those backpackers u mentioned along with tribe called quest etc… i mean u dont have to be a 5%er to realise the stuff they rap about is for the hood.. i mean the suburbs can listen to it as wl.. nothing wrng wit that.. but pls dont start bringing in rappers like asher roth drake etc. into the game.. cos they dont belong.
Have no problem with drake doing him or cormega speaking his mind on it. Cormega is speaking on what he knows and what he grew up around. non issue.
preach…
Wow,the things people do to get a little bit of fame hi I’m cormega(who is he?)
My “career” is dying what should I do? well I think I’ll say needless
Comments about the hottest artist in the game and see were that gets me.
Well mr cormega(still who is he?) You fail.
“who is he?”
please NEVER comment again.
ok, this “rap is for the streets” stuff is nonsense. rap is for whoever wants to be involved. if it’s good, it’s good. if it’s not, it’s not. point blank period.
^^^
Yes.

No. You may think that it’s that but do not try to rewrite history, hip hop is from the streets and represents a voice for people who otherwise don’t have a voice.
cosign tomfoolery like a MF… 2 anyone who agrees w/ Cormega or dumba** hood/street BS… “Your STUPIDITY amazes me” in my Rosie Perez voice from Pineapple Express… D.A.D.

If his album wasn’t already copped, it is now.
@wow
read what i said. I never said hip hop isnt from the streets. it most certainly is. however, that shouldnt stop anyone from doing it if they think it got what it takes. and im cool with that, as long as you’re not lying on your life (i.e. pretending you are from the hood when you aren’t, acting uneducated when you aren’t **cough** PLIES **cough**, etc).
Drake doesn’t represent any kind of struggle. How many rappers are from famous offspring? (Cory Gunz dont count cuz hes always been better than his pops) That kid is a lucky mfer for real, famous songwriting pops or uncle, Degrassi????? I mean , THATS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID …DEGRASSI!
daaaayyyyeeeuuuum….. shots fired!!! but drake dont rap about stuff he doesnt know tho. hes not frontin.
ohhhh…
and cosign tomfoolery
Hip-Hop has always been a voice of the struggle thats basically wut Cormega is tryin to say Drake isnt really from a struggle hes always had dough still like his shit though
Cormega’s comment is stupid for one reason … when did Drake ever rap about something he never lived?
And I’d rather listen to Drake than Cormega because 1) Drake is more talented and multi-dimensional and 2) he’s more relatable to me than Cormega is.
Saying you can only rap if you’re from the streets is akin to saying you can only be smart if you’re from the suburbs. The two aren’t always synonymous.

“Saying you can only rap if you’re from the streets is akin to saying you can only be smart if you’re from the suburbs. The two aren’t always synonymous”
no its not
PAC IS DEAD , DMX SMOKES CRACK, PLIES IS A COLLEGE BOY , LIL WAYNE IS A FAKE BLOOD , RICK ROSS IS POLICE , 50 MAKES LOVE SONGS AND GUCCI MANE RAPS IN POLISH
Amazed at all the replies! And no surprises here that most cats don’t even know bout Cormega! The thing about Drake is that he’s industry molded, and real cats will never respect that! I kinda agree with Megs that dude is just doing it as a hobby! That wackass single Drake had was steadily on radio rotation without him even being signed … as 50 said in that video interview, someone is working the wheels, shit like that does NOT happen by fluke! Anyways, just my opinion! Best believe Im buying that Cormega (and Royce) album tomorrow, that song “Girl” produced by LES … is waaaaaaaaay to crazy! And fyi, he aint talkin bout no “girl”, Drake fans
I understand dude saying he relates to Drake moreso then Mega! Coremga is for people that like hearing real hiphop raps legendary producers! Premier, Alchemist. Havoc just to name a few! I can relate more to Mega, and I think hes much more talented and Mutli-dimenstional then Drake! Compare ‘American Beauty’ to ‘Best Ive Ever Had’ ! “If Ya Man Ever Steal From You, Never Trust Him! When Niggaz Keep It Real With you, You Never Fuck ‘Em, If You Got Plans 2 Get Rich … Don’t Discuss ‘Em, Cuz Who Da Fuck Wanna See You Blow, You Know? Money Comes and Goes … Like Friends, Had a Bunch of Those, How Many With Me ‘Til The End … I Don’t Know” – Cormega
I been sayin dat. Hip hop was built on struggle. U can look at dis dude n tell he dont kno struggle. Puttin out mixtapes aint strugglin wen u already got mills. Ur steppin on the people that really struggle (and rap way betta than u) toes.
FIRST OF ALL WHY IS THIS O.A.N. TALKING DOWN ON A YOUNG RAPPER?
ISNT HE A LEGEND? SHOULDN’T HE JUST SHOW RESPECT CAUSE DRAKE ISNT REALLY INJECTING IGNORANCE INTO OUR YOUTH?
HOW COME I CAN RELATE MORE TO DRAKE THAN TO THIS O.A.N.?
WHAT IS O.A.N.? ASK SOULJA BOY
Man, ya niggaz (or white boys( I should say—-asking who the hell Cormeaga is. Awe, cum on you little young ass white boys and backpacking sissy black brothers. I’m from NOrthwest Detroit, nigga. And straight up-a nigga like Drake, or should I say Aubrey, would get his ass FUCKED UP around here. They’d run that niggaz chain and his jordans. That hoe nigga drake ain’t shit but a rich half black boy from the suburbs. He don’t even got the right to say, “nigga”. When he started hanging with lil wayne is probably the first time he even fucked a black girl. Mch luve, Nw detroit.
