Billboard names Drake as the 4th greatest pop star of the 21st century

[spacewraith]

Drake should be above Rihanna

 

[_genocidecutter_]

Drake is overrated

 

[BreezyH]

They are celebrated and primarily known for their singing

ah yes, world class singer Rihanna

 

[Solo_87]

ah yes, world class singer Rihanna

I mean I really don't get the hype myself

But a lot of ppl have told me they enjoy her singing

 

[Shadow King]

This is fine but this proves the point on why he shouldn't be placed among rap...

 

[Shadow King]

u discussing a nikka who actually writes maybe 70% of the time
vs the people above him who never write at all

Maybe 70% of his lyrics (which is generous at this point) isn't enough for respect in the genre he springboarded off of.

same logic applies to Em, Ye, & Jay since they also are the list?

For an artist that doesn't write her songs, is a mediocre dancer, ok singer, can't act. I guess in a way, Rihanna is the best popstar in that her aura carries the entire thing.

Em and Jay write their shìt, so no, the logic does not apply. They don't use rap as a springboard while failing to play by rap rules.

Rihanna should be 1 or 2

You got a point

Even if that was 100% accurate (it’s not), they all live on the same list

Jay technically doesn't write but I see where you're coming from.

It is 100% accurate and you don't have anything to dispell my point.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

They got it right with pop star and not rapper
