Drake can never be as good as Jay-Z

It is a mystery

Not calling him top-50 is crazy, even as a hybrid it's still influenced by hip-hop, he has the numbers and longevity to prove it. He's also had too many good tracks to be disrespected like that.
It’s not crazy at all. Hip has been around for 40 plus years and it’s easy to forget just how deep this music runs.

I disagree on the hybrid part. It would be one thing if he had side project albums where he did his pop and r&b and whatever else. But it’s there mixed in with all his albums. How Much of the numbers and longevity is due to hip hop as opposed to Hotline Bling and Take Care and all the other “other” shyt.

He’s got good tracks? Who wrote em? Even if you list out all the good rap songs, how do you weigh that against rappers who got classic hip hop albums?

He’s in a category win Missy Elliot and Lauryn Hill. Just leave him there.

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.
Because writing comes from experience
