  • This didnt prove shit lmao... and i'm a drake fan so don't come at me with that "hater" shit

  • @MisterBurrows Yes I know Adele is one of the most talented singers out there along with Taylor Swift. Even tho other people are auto tuned it doesn't mean that they aren't good singers. Like Drake has auto tuned songs almost everybody does. But at least he sings really good live unlike other artists. For example Fergie. She sounds nothing like how she does in music. Including The Black Eyed Peas or how I like to call them The Auto Tuned Peas.

  • @IXExpLoSiVeIX I agree with everything you just said--- except that Drake sings very well. He is average at best. He might be cool, popular, and successful- no debate from me. But, as someone with some experience in the industry, as a trained vocalist with a degree, and as a music educator, I cannot in good conscience feel right about even putting Drake in the same sentence as Adele. Let's be real: the fact that he's more real than the Black Eyed Peas isn't really a huge accomplishment.

  • @MisterBurrows Well Drake is known for his rapping.He is a decent singer to me for a rapper. I don't think I can name one rapper who is a good singer and a good rapper.

  • @IXExpLoSiVeIX Again, his lyrics are average at best. Every now and then, he has a clever line. Let's not give him credit that he does not deserve. He entertains you and on occasion, sometimes more. He's an entertainer; a court-jester; clap your hands twice and he does a fancy trick for you. He is lyrically inferior to Biggie/Pac/Common/Lupe/KRS-One­/Eminem/Dre/Lauryn Hill/The Roots/Dice Raw/Nas,,, Once again, he is an average popular entertainer. Nothing more. But, enjoy him- it's your right...

  • @MisterBurrows Meh i guess i agree with u son on the can't compare to 2pac but come on

    Who can compare to 2pac? LOL

    Only rapper i know who can come close whos still alive is probably eminem but I like drakes singing mostly his rapping is a whiney voice sounds so annoying but the beats and chorus are always top notch gotta agree on dat g.

  • Regarding his "vocals," he'd get a B+ in choir.... Regarding quality, he is an entertainer; not an artist. There's no emotion or true creativity from him...ever. Pretending to be a gangsta...you KNOW he didn't talk like that before signing with CASH MONEY records...why? It's right there in the name... Every one of his songs = sex, drugs, liquor, the club, how fresh he is, money...meanwhile, he just repeats the same words over and over again. He's a popular amateur; a step above a Kardashian.

  • @MisterBurrows Oh if you don't know anything about Drake STFU not every single one of his songs talk about that. Listen to Doing It Wrong ft Stevie Wonder. That's creativity. Don't be saying shit like he is an amateur if you don't know what you are talking about. Get the fuck out of here.

  • @IXExpLoSiVeIX Wow, that was a lot of cursing in a short time span....somewhat like his lyrics. Keep it up, and you too can be as creative a lyricist as him in no time.

    Regarding your example... 1) He is still autotuned in the song and an average-at-best singer 2) I'm proud that you have found a song with a shred of creativity (although it helps when you have a REAL artist- Stevie- working with you)... but even George W. Bush managed a concrete clever sentence every now and then.

  • @MisterBurrows Look bro. Why go to one of his videos if you are going to be a critic. Almost every single singer is auto tuned. Either way he is still way more successful then you shall ever be. You sound so stupid.

  • @IXExpLoSiVeIX For the same reason you are replying to me: I have something to say that I strongly believe. Onto point #2, I agree...and as one who loves and appreciates music and art, I am offended by the success and credence that so many give to the majority of those in the music industry. Thank God for people like Hudson and Adele. Onto point #3, success does not equal artistic or high quality. Again, George W. Bush is more successful than anyone in our family tree will ever be.

  • @IXExpLoSiVeIX And regarding how intelligent one sounds, you appeared like a middle school kid with your constant curses and name-calling. However, I have a feeling that you are actually more educated than you have presented yourself... and, in seriousness, I commend you on knowing the majority of people in the industry are autotuned, However, to me, accepting that crap is like living in The Matrix or winning a beauty contest after getting plastic surgery. And entertainer does not equal artist.

  • @MisterBurrows you drank a whole gallon of that haterade before you typed that huh

  • @PrinceBased I backed up everything I said. Haterade implies that I am jealous of his success. Far from it. I am merely upset that a phony has received such acclaim and fame. Read the rest of the comments and you'll understand how baseless your suggestion was just now. (In the meantime, please keep enjoying following the trends...)

  • @MisterBurrows you searched his name, watched the video, and hated on it lol if you don't like him why take the time out of your day to type his name in.

  • @PrinceBased I actually thought I was finding proof that I was wrong when I saw the title. Unfortunately, it proved I was right. You keep saying, "hated" or "haterade." As one who loves hip hop and the beauty that music and art are meant to give and have, I am offended when it gets reduced to computerized repetition of predictable autotuned words meant for the sole purpose of mere clown entertainment. Look up Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Nas, Common, Lupe Fiasco, KRS-ONE, Eminem, etc. You'll understand

  • @MisterBurrows first of all, no one is comparing him to pac or biggie so dont even think about starting with that when they're 2 different artists. 2nd not one song is auto tuned

  • @PrinceBased

    LOL!

    Wait, WHAT? Not one song is autotuned????

  • @MisterBurrows autotune is the t-pain effect. show me ONE song thats auto tuned...you don't even know what you're talking about

  • @PrinceBased

    Wrong....Autotune is an effect that can have MANY facets....T-Pain and Cher have taken it to it's furthest extreme. However, over 97% of all current mainstream singers and rappers use autotune....mostly since the late 1990's. Please get informed.

  • @MisterBurrows

    Why would rappers use autotune for rapping? wtf?

  • @patriciasmokes LOL, I agree...pretty pathetic. The reason is that every sound that is made is, in itself, a pitch, and it allows for more consistency.

  • @MisterBurrows

    Well, I've been producing beats for rappers since 05 and none of them used auto tune yet for their rapping '__'

    Anyway if it's true what you're saying it really is pretty pathetic

  • @patriciasmokes Agreed!

  • @PrinceBased

    I am sorry that you have been played for a fool by the music industry. EVERY song of his is autotuned...including when he is JUST rapping. You clearly have spent ZERO time in the music industry.

    Every seen The Matrix? You're starring in it....

  • @MisterBurrows lmao you don't even know what auto tune is...like i said autotoune is the t-pain effect...if you can't relate to one drake song then I'm sorry your life is quite boring

  • @PrinceBased

    EVERY one of them. PLEASE, EDUCATE YOURSELF.

  • @MisterBurrows lol hi hater

  • @PrinceBased

    Ahhh, another song that the mainstream listened to. Okay, I'll play:

    Hi, follower.

  • @MisterBurrows maino? mainstream? lol ya okay...go listen to your 80's hip hop tracks and the beastie boys...bye hater

  • @PrinceBased

    I realize you don't know what you're talking about, and most of the American public doesn't know much about it. As someone who has worked in the industry and is vocally trained and holds a degree in it, I saw this special on autotune on PBS last year and it was actually quite accurate. Do a search for NOVA, autotune, PBS

  • @MisterBurrows didn't know i was talking to an expert from watching PBS lmao foh 

  • @MisterBurrows obviously got that degree in the wrong failed cuz it sure didn't work out for ya cuz you on youtube trying knock off another man for his hard work

  • @PrinceBased

    ? Did you read? I have worked in the industry, and upon seeing this special on it...WHERE THEY INTERVIEWED THE INVENTOR OF AUTOTUNE, I agreed with most of the presentation.

    I am trying to be positive here, but like some middle school or high school kid, all you do is keep name-calling. There is nothing more I can say to help or explain this to someone who is not trained, nor an expert in the field. All I can do is hope that the program I told you of might at the very least, HELP.

  • @PrinceBased *field

  • omg how sexy !!

  • My favorite songs of his that show his singing abilities are: shot for me, shut it down, and marvin's room,

  • @LyricaLPC Yeah but he can actually sing man seriously he does all his singing foreal thTs why he doesn't sound that good..

  • Trace from the Stereo Hoggz could sit this guy down with one riff

  • He sounds amazing ! He just still needs more soul & range in his voice ! Big drizzy fan since degrassi :)

  • I didn't feel any emotion from his voice...he's okay but not amazing.

  • When will he prove he can actually rap?

  • R.I.P ALLIYAH

  • So Far Gone & Thank Me Later he still needed work.But on Take Care he's doing top notch singing.

  • @JimastaJ Top notch? C'mon lol he's better than the average person but most R&B singers can outsing him.

  • @Onlyrealmusic4life but he is not an r&b singer, hes a rapper and just sings too.

  • @manu25109 I know. This person tried to claim that his vocals were top notch though. maybe they meant top notch for rapper/singer artists like himself. My interpretation of top notch vocals is much different than someone who listens to mainstream music nowadays because I've always listened to motown, soul, and 90's R&B (what I call the Golden Age of r&b). I grew up on Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Boyz II Men, Brian Mcknight,etc., i think you get what I mean.

  • @JimastaJ ...he's auotuned throughout the entire song, on the entire album.... his COMPUTER is certainly doing top notch singing in Take Care....

  • You call that singing..ha. Smh

  • u kidding me drake is a talented singer , actor and rapper .. TRIPPLE THREAT!!

  • He does have singing lessons 5 times a week - so yes - he can sing. you listen to his WHOLE albums (ofc this would only be his true fans) and you'll see he does both. very well.

  • @jorjarr Autotune..........but he can still sing without it....

  • Can everyone shut up about him not being able to sing? I mean yeah he's a little off key but I'd like to see you try to sing as good as him.

  • hes a little off

  • reeverb help a lil bit but he can sing 

  • he can

  • This proved to me that he can't sing... It was painful to listen to how off some of his notes were.

  • What song is this?

  • Drizzy is amazing <3 Haters can sit down.

  • Y'all call this singing are you all high on crack.... The fuck has this world come to? THIS IS NOT SINGING!!!!!!!

  • @XDTheLaughingManXD HE CANT SING TO ME EITHER

  • omg drake is such a beast. so talented!!!

  • jk

    

  • @youngtt10 id leave my girl for drake ,who wouldnt.

  • @2:44 all the girls just came in their vickey's

  • Comment removed

  • He can sing, he just ain't a good singer and that's where the auto-tune comes in. Being able to sing mostly on key doesn't mean you're a good singer, but if your singing is okay and you're good at coming up with melodies you can make incredible music anyways.

  • Comment removed

  • ...

  • I Actually Cried at 2:45 :'(

  • damn he sounds good he doesn't need to use auto-tune like other rappers trying to sing

  • so he does that auto-tune shit for no reason at all!? >:s

  • This Man Right Here ? I Personally Know and Love. Adore Him For His Love for Aaliyah

  • That's my hubby right there.!

  • @EnvyLovely9

    I know he can sing, rap and is great looking we might have to fight over him cause hummmm wow I Love u drzzy

  • @mcahleah21 aight then when and where lets go lol jk

  • @EnvyLovely9

    Look girl subscribe to my page and add me as a friend and I'll do the same

  • the last song is not forever you idiots

  • -. somebody doesnt know how to spell actually

  • I guess people don't know you can still use effects at a live concert....

  • @LyricaLPC Shoot yourself, seriously.

  • Thats not singing thats pretending to sing you and I can do that, he didn't hit any notes he has no real vibrato. I can see how simple people would be fooled.

  • @GatewayXl He has no real vibrato? it's because he is lowering the use of it, the air he uses is just balanced to make that soft singing sound.

  • looooooooool no no no lauren hill can siiiiing, not drake XD

  • Oh come on... He can't sing. lol

    He's getting a lot of help with that autotune crap or whatever it is. You can hear it.

    If that isn't incredibly obvious, you really need to clean your ears.

    And even then, he still sounds barely average...

    Only idiots and Drake groupies will say he can sing well.

  • @mrusername The only effect he's using is echo. I don't think you should really hate on your so called "Drake groupies." They're just fans.

  • @mrusername its reverb dumbass... all of your favorite singers probably use it... and yeah he is not the greatest singer... but out of all the fucking rappers today he, frank ocean, and childish gambino are the best singers.

  • good god go babby

  • WORLDS GREATEST.

    thumbs this shit up!

  • ugh Unforgettable is the jaaaaam cant wait to see him live

  • thumbs up if u think he can sing

  • 2:40 wow that got me

  • mediocre

  • 2:43 got me the most.

    i<3 him

  • @MissMintiee im a guy and i liked that part too,he can sing for real lol,no homo

  • @MissMintiee

    Yes and he is a true bass so singing anything as high as that is not easy for him - he is talented

  • @MissMintiee with a quick glimpse, i thought you said "2:43 got me moist" LOL

  • Drake is the best. He takes his issues and write songs about them, that we can actually relate to. He has an amazing voice. And he can sing too. Its not like hes always talking with music in the background.

    Keep it real<3

  • @AubreyDrakeForever Subscribed.

  • I love you Drake sing to me one time

    

  • My Girl said Drake sucked, she single now!

  • @YOUNGTT10 Ha!

  • Comment removed

  • @YOUNGTT10 that's gay leaving your girl for drake!

  • @experiment0003 How's it gay? Bruh, I'll just get 5 more!

  • @YOUNGTT10 would you like Drake to say your name? be honest!

  • @experiment0003 Like a shout-out, yeah!

  • @YOUNGTT10 lol why you gotta add shout out?

  • @YOUNGTT10 You's a bitch

  • @MannyFr3sshh And your an internet gangster, all you do is talk shit on Youtube, oh well.... Hi Hater.

  • @YOUNGTT10 gayest comment ive ever seen without some1 actually stating they are gay

  • @IGotAllOfThat That's why you probably liked my comment!

  • @YOUNGTT10 no go spread your gayness elsewhere lol

  • @IGotAllOfThat how is it gay, and all I'm saying is Drake's a beast? That's the whole meaning to my comment, so all you hating motherfucka's can EAD!

  • @YOUNGTT10 Shit send her my way man lol. I can sing way better than this guy.

  • @YOUNGTT10 LMAO U REAL AS FUCK!!!

  • @TheMafiaRevolution Haha, thanks.

  • he can rap his ass off but his singing is mediocre

  • Comment removed

  • I think I feel deeper in love wit this man.....Drake is the truth!!! Hands down. Middle finger to the haters who said he couldn't sing =P

  • what can't he do?!

  • He shoulda had Wayne play the guitar for him... Oh wait, he can't play

  • i think the problem is just in the american iq, im sorry, but cant anyone hear his voice is SOO offf, ITS nothing like the original recording, becouse he is al autotune, u want real singin? go watch bruno mars, thats called singin, what he is doing here is just very soft wining EVerybody can do that especially when the mix has echo, but come on listen closely he is singin false, its nothing special, he can sing a little bit, just like almost everyone!

  • @soerenna

    american iq joke? that's great for you, whatever helps your self esteem. i'll stop there and leave you with one comment - please make a song of this caliber and upload it, seeing as everyone can sing like that. all his producer , 40 , added was reverb and echo, which is available in garageband and fruityloops. please,make a song of the level.

  • he's still using effects -___-

  • @jweezyswag still amazing too ;__;

  • @HappyGoku579 lol yeah it's cool

  • @jweezyswag Eheheh yeah

  • Who thought he couldn't sing?? PUNK ASS NIGGASSSS! :]

  • he went flat and sharp a lot actually. not hating, i love drake. but it's obvious why he uses autotune. he's still my favorite rapper turned singer though<3

  • @anthonypucino

    But listen to Take Care his singing is much better man,no autotune on that

  • @gio1764 he still uses it, he just has top notch engineers to hide it. either that or he uses melodyne. look it up. it's all good though, i still love him. haha

  • @anthonypucino

    have you heard him sing with Justin bieber on the 2011 Juno Awards,Drake has a real singing voice trust me fam

  • @gio1764 A lot auto tune on that album actually lol. 'Look Wha You've Done' 'We'll Be Fine', 'Practice', and 'Shot for Me'

  • his singing makes me melt! <3

  • VOICE TRANSFORMER MAKES IT SOUND LIKES HE CAN SING NO HATING JUST FACTS

  • Yeah, okay. Add an echo to anything and it sounds like singing.

  • He still has his voice modified more than any rapper/singer in music. He still sucks. You aren't a real emcee if you also make pure R&B songs. Who other than teenage black girls and ghetto white girls listens to R&B anymore anyway?

    #Shady.

  • @TheSpliffstarEffect That comment made me laugh. You sound mad.

  • dayyumm..i love hhis voice and smile! he's HOT!

  • He takes voice lessons..

  • @blizzared2 Ok

  • of course he can sing, but his producer "40" or his engineer is back there on the mixing board putting the same effects they use in the studio on stage to make it sound like the song, hear the reverb and delay in his voice??

  • @JJCruz9128 someone who knows! sick of hearing people chatting shit about auto-tune... reverb and delay exactly...

  • :3 c: ^-^ :D xD These are the faces i made as soon as he began to sing.

  • autotune i think...

  • @ARTEIU1 in the studio? Might be slight autotune, otherwise it's based on 200 takes :P

  • @ImDino mmmm no i mean he uses autotune also in live

  • @ARTEIU1 that would suck

  • his singing brought tears 2 my eyes but i think thts cause im pmsing but he is a wonderful singer no doubt

  • @monkeychild27 lmfaaao, omg

  • @briii96 lol, yaa it was 2am n i was pmsing leeve me alone ;P

  • Shit if i knew his ass was in seattle, i would have stalked his ass ahahahah jk

  • Check out my Marvin's room and my brand new remix promise you'll love them people say I sound just like Drake

  • People are haaaaaaatttttttterrrrrrsssssss­.. lol, making him even more famous

  • everyone who is hating on drake needs to shut he fuck up. why the fuck are you here if you hate him? gtfo

  • got it in

  • only thing i can stand listening to anymore : drake since 2004-2005

  • this nigga really can sing :O

  • @kabine1234

    I keep telling people that,but you know the Rap heads arent open to him singing,so they dont like him singing,they say hes not a real singer,me i like both his rapping and singing equally,but id rather hear him rap more than sing as of lately

  • I agree about what you're saying, I don't like most of Hip Hop today either. I'm stuck in the 90's era still. Drake is probably the only good ones in the industry.

  • :D

  • Why can this nigga sing loll.. autotune is so misleading. oh well, i aint complining, she sure surprised the shit outta me though loll
