Can Drake be better than his contemporaries before we compare him to GOATs?
Can Drake be better than his contemporaries before we compare him to GOATs?
Drake doesn't have the same pedigree so he couldn't be anywhere close to Jay in a lyrical or deep song regard.
- Not from the hood
- Never been arrested
- Never sold drugs
- Seems to have a good relationship with his fam
- Never had street beef
- Never balled the fukk out before fame
Drake seemed to have a normal life before being an actor. You can't write the shyt Jay writes living a normal suburban kid lifestyle.
He can write about the traps of success and celebrity beefs, but that would be kind of diva-ish.
Drake on the other might go down as one of the greatest hit makers of all time.
Depends on what you want out of your career and your artist.
Certain shyt you just have to experience yourself. Not everything but certain aspects of life you have to experience 1st hand on order to put your soul in your music.This is where I raise the question to you: Why does it matter where a dude is from?
This is why so many cats out here capping today. Just because a dude is from the suburbs does not mean life was easy, and it does not make him less official. Everyone wants to glorify the hood aspect of their lives for the raps but really why is that so important?
Can someone not make a deep or lyrical song without being from the hood? Prior arrests mean you got something to say? Selling drugs makes your music hit harder? Never balled before fame like the majority of stars?
I'm not here to push the narrative that Drake is touching Jay, cuz he's not. But its not for any of those criteria.
this. drakes music lacks depth and only a handful of his songs have any replay value.
lets just call it how it is. drake a chart chasing fakkit that dates 14 year old girls.
jays muslc already been proven to stand the test of time.
Damm just posted the same thing .Certain shyt you just have to experience yourself. Not everything but certain aspects of life you have to experience 1st hand on order to put your soul in your music.
Don't ever compare that fakkit to Jay again
Yeah cause some guy named NaS doesn't exist:nawnikka:
Sure is. Thread inadvertently shytting on JayIsn't that a Big Daddy Kane line first?
What is Drake's best verse? Admittedly I'm not a fan and haven't heard many album cuts but this is one of the better verses I've heard from him..
Drake is not even a top 50 MC and we comparing him to Jay?

You know what’s so crazy is when he first came out people said the opposite .
He was seen as too sensitive and a cry baby .
Then you go back and listen to his music this dude doesn’t talk about shyt .
His music is so hollow but he does it well .
He literally has a hand full of songs where he tells you small details .
I think everyone who we consider very good to great . Has poured their hearts out on either a whole album or enough through out to make one .
We actually know a lot of these artist story that why people connect to them . This is why it’s shameful when you hear a RAPPER doesn’t write .
Of course we like the turn up shyt but we like the personal journey too .
