Every great career has its ups and downs. Drake is very much a popular artist, but he's always looked to the hood for credibility and now that his artistry has been questioned, he can distract everyone by dropping a mixtape with the most popular hood artist active right now. Drake's brand has some chinks in its armor that needs fixing

Collaborating with Future on a mixtape isn't going to fix any chinks in his armor. Him dropping a mixtape isn't a distraction. The distraction is him dropping songs that are popping, which he doesn't seem to have a problem doing. According to The Coli, Drake never had credibility in the hood, so I don't see what this is supposed to do for him besides making music with an artist that have a mutual respect for each other.

That's how Drake was legitimized the first time. He jumped on that Versace remix, stole the Migos flow and hasn't looked back since. Kanye got the same hood stamp by doing the Put On Remix.

But it's more than that for Drake. He also jumps from muse to muse when he starts to get stuck in a sound/flow/mode. That trend-hopping of smaller artists allows him to switch up, steal something from them, look like a trendsetter instead of a jacker, and keep "evolving" as an artist without much of a backlash.

Migos didn't legitimize anything. Kanye got a hood stamp when he dropped "Can't Tell Me Nothin". That was his biggest song in the streets. LOL, Kanye was on the OG "Put On".
