yall can say this guys got sick flow cause he does but dont say hes got sick flow cause hes lyrically conscious, there are plenty of dirty no good thugs (they ssay it themselves) who have amazing ability, nas big l ect
we gotta differentiate between talent and message
but i gotta say Shad gets an A in both cateogories haha
shad is a beast and to me, he is the best poet of the 21st century...too often, raps name gets abused with music that aint poetic, neither its rythmic...im glad shad is educating ppl what real rap is supposed to sound like...
shads an inspiration. hes too real. i fuck with all kinds of rap but i think more people need to be put on this dude. I actually did a remix over Shad's "Keep Shining" instrumental called "Young Luns - Aspirations". Go to my channel and check it out along with a few other tracks I have. If you like my music feel free to follow me on twitter @YoungLuns and subscribe to my page. Big plans for 2012, takin it to the next level. Thumbs this up so maybe someone else will see it. Thanks
Nvm I found it. Aphrodite´s Child - The Four Horseman. The guitar solo was the giveaway. I was just listening to this album last week that's why it was so fresh in my mind.
Drake's a faggot. Marvin's Room and Trust Issues are 2 of the shittiest, most overrated and stupidest songs I've ever heard. Shad > Drake. Anyone as a Rapper > Drake.
@DISCL0SE Fawk! I so so wish I could see him in concert. However, being from Kansas, I don't think he makes his way down to this part of the states very often, if at all... lol
i went to his concert and his sweat dripped on me like 8 times!! i was front row, got a high five!! He's a great entertainer!!!! see shad in concert-check!! see lecrae in concert- not yet!!!
@a80a80a80 Shad won't sell out. There's no way. I had the pleasure to talk to him after a show and he was just the man. He was so sincere that he could and would NEVER sell out.
@michymi2 it's not about the music, it's about what they stand for. drake is against everything shad stands for, it's not about the rhymes, if you're really a 'fan' of shad, or if you're a good person you should be realising drake has nothing on shad
@MrQuintenq Umm, sir, you obviously are mistaken. No one uses legal music downloads anymore, duh! :P
(Only one excuse: your brother ripped all of your music in crappy quality then took all the cds with him to college, leaving you with 64kbps/22kHz mp3s. Then, it is justified)
the one thing you can't deny, every musician has haters, but for real...ya just can't hate on this man...i mean if you don't like this type of music i understand but there is absolutely no denying his true talent, something i think alot of musicians lack these days
Shad you have the sickest flow--way to go! I'm digging the honesty of your lyrics, but especially the creativity and internal rhyme schemes. Your DJ is also so sick he's probably halfway to the afterlife already. Wow. Shad U R fly like the Most High. Keep reppin' and keep your voice like an angel.
People stop comparing shad to Drake...its insulting to Shad. Drake is a commercially produced artist who was previously an actor on Degrassi high. Shad is a lyrical genius.
I was so happy when I saw this playing on the tv at my college's main dining area. I just saw/heard it for the first time this morning and i was like that's Shad K !!!
People who are pretentious enough to have to criticize Drake in order to appreciate Shad don't deserve to be Shad's fans. So what if some people don't share your 'superior' taste in music - no reason to call what those people enjoy 'garbage'.
@Thinkah While i agree with you, and i didn't spend the time to view the comments you are referring to, what's wrong with drawing a comparison? The fact of the matter is that Shad is better than Drake. I enjoy Drake's music, but Shad is unquestionably 'superior'. I won't criticize Drake to make my point, the music speaks for itself; so, as Shad puts it, 'no other pro is so proficient'.
@Thinkah yes, agreed, BUT let's look at the views and popularity that is DRAKE, and then compare them to shad. There seems to be something wrong there if we are talking about how they are both evenly matched as far as fan base goes. and Shad can make himself deep intellectually. Drake has to be super emotional to get people to call him deep. Because he's not smart or as capable to be as good a rapper as Shad. So that is why SHAD is better.
@Thinkah That's not true from a musical point of view. Shad's flow is more rhythmically intricate and his lyrical content covers a broader range of topics than drake. As well, drake uses auto-tune as a crutch to help him sing. My friend, who is a musician, has been to a drake concert and has told me it's pathetic to watch him try and sing live. If people just like drake because they want to bob their head to something then that's cool, but he isn't as musically talented as Shad. That's a fact.
@DMSComedy then you really don't get what he's saying. He's basically saying, or at least it seems to me what he's saying is: Not everyone is gonna like the same music and aritsts. some people may like Drake, but hate Shad, or vice versa.
Personally I enjoy most artists in rap/hip hop, but the song and its meaning is the decider. I like this song, but I didn't like "Yaa I Get It". Also, I like Lil Wayne AND Eminem, Drake AND Shad, Kanye West and..well idk who you compare him to...
wow, is this ACTUAL hip hop that I am listening to?
