Drake — ‘Dark Lane Demo Tapes’ Review

These days there is an unfortunate trend of critiquing music more than trying to find the good in it. To clarify, there is nothing wrong with being a particular consumer — you like what you like, you don’t like what you don’t like. You connect with something, or it falls short. That is the way the cookie crumbles. In the case of Drake, though, a large portion of people only care to express their qualms with him. The compliments are lightly sprinkled like sugar on bitter, lemony jabs. There is this feeling of people seeing being a fan of his as a demotion in their music expert status.
