There is open-minded and then there are people like Drake and whomever who don't at least give credit where credit is due...like how about them giving a shout to the original artist. The originals will always be the best, the most unique, and will never be able to be duplicated.

[ccisurbud]

wow Drake's and his are so different... 

[gabriel72r]

@darkknight187 i could agree with you, but there's a small difference... Drake and Rihanna are imposed to the masses by the music industry, while is up to you & me (& the few ones) to discover (and like or not) Gil Scott Heron !

i guess you have heard about tv's brain-washing ? (like a trashy song sounds like a divine melody if you heard it a million times) ok? ... then resist ! :)

[darkknight187]

@gabriel72r Yeah I can understand why you'd want to defend him his version is awesome and people shouldn't bash it, but as a counterpoint you said "music is about feelings" well what if the listeners who prefer drake's version emote and relate more to that version that Gil Scott Heron's. It's about both sides of the argument not being juvenile and respecting other people's tastes in music.

@gabriel72r Best comment so far!

[gabriel72r]

when some of you realize that music (arts in general) is about feelings and not about consumption or who's got the better voice (and bring more cash to the music industry) ... the world is gonna be a better place !

till then listen to Mark Lanegan's version of this song ... (who the f*ck is Drake,anyway?)

and show some respect to Gil Scott Heron

@MrHoneyloops No, it's an opinion, which by definition can never be right or wrong. Also, it's just a bad song with him singing it. IMO of course.

[BaCkWeRdZ]

@princemjforlife I agree, I admire the lyrics. But as for a "song", it's horrible to me. Horrible voice. I am so glad Drake covered it so we could hear it in a good fashion!

[fuckfucketyfuckfuck]

@BaCkWeRdZ you dont know what real music is and probably have no idea who this guy is and what he did for music

this guy sounds like dmx
