This too.

It's like this.

Drake serves a purpose. So Far Gone raised the bar of where hip hop was going. To this very day, rappers are harmonizing, instead of rappity rapping. He allowed the genre to branch out of the box.

Yes the branch ended up in suburban homes, but so did NWA and em.

Bottom line, yes Drake is a goofy but he serves a purpose. Dude been in the game for almost two decades, while most of the mixtape blog rappers either phased out or went crazy.

Mos is the same goofy that starred in shyt movies and had that god awful rock album, when most hip hop heads wanted another hip hop album.

Don't get me started with the Gitmo stunt he did where dude was bytching and snotting all over the place because he wanted to demonstrate to be tube fed.


Ja Rule harmonized before Drake debuted his first album
50 Cent harmonized before Drake debuted his first album
Kanye harmonized before Drake debuted his first album
Akon harmonized before Drake debuted his first album
T-Pain harmonized before Drake debuted his first album


Come on breh :russ: :deadrose: :deadrose: :deadrose:

Drake isn’t someone who needs defending but he makes better Music than Mos Def and its not even close

He could bite Def’s whole M.O. if he wanted
weren't you dissing eminem in the other thread? but you here defending Drake over Mos def?

fukk outta here. this is what i knew you nikkas were. Not real hip hop fans.

What’s wrong with what he said Drake is a pop star so is Eminem.:manny:
We'll one is a better MC than the other and can actually freestyle, and is respected by Lupe, Nas, Kendrick etc guess which one that is.

but mcdonalds burger is not better than au cheval, shake shack, or even five guys.

But McDonalds has more stores, and over saturates the market so that you'll always see a mcdonalds and thus its more convenient.

and the same goes for Drakes music and the machine that runs him. He's McDonalds. not the highest quality but always there.

ehhh no, eminem is more skilled than drake at rap. anyone who looks at it as a skill will tell you that.

at some point we have to realize our standards have lowered for the MC as time went on.

if you like the overall songs drakes makes, thats different, but that doesn't mean he's a better MC. he's not. few people discern liking the overall songs versus understanding who is better at flowing, rhyming, cadence etc.

Like I like Kanye's SONGS wayyyy more than eminem's. But if i want rapping...I'll prefer a verse from 2001 eminem over kanye.

just because I like Kanye's songs better doesn't mean he's remotely close as an MC.

Yes Eminem is more skilled than Drake as far as being a mc. But they both are pop stars and all fall under Universal they work for the same people. MUSIC BUSINESS. They both are pop stars.

then every famous rapper is a pop star.

but eminem is more respected by real MC's than Drake.

eminem has been on more tracks with real MC's than Drake.


eminem was cosigned into existence by real MC's. drake was cosigned by a popstar in Lil Wayne.

Eminem wasn't some industry plant like Harlow or Ice Spice.
