It was always surprising to me that he's never made music at a really high level.
Also. I literally hate hearing uninformed white people talk about Hip Hop. It gets under my skin.

It won't be. It will be forever difficult for Drake to make a "classic". Almost all hiphop "classics" have had a theme and typically focused around street/hood shyt. Nothing Drake does will really fall into that, especially with the singing.

Drake can't make a classic album. He's gonna chase hits until he falls off.
Drake already got classics
So far gone is a classic mixtape of Lil Wayne's dedication 2 caliber
And all his album have been classics or atleast quality music

He's came extremely close before with So Far Gone and Take Care but always seems to miss the mark by inches. I think it's due to the inherent parts of his style (the singing, the commercial shyt, the good but shallow lyrical depth) that make him so popular but aren't conducive to making classic 5 mic hip-hop albums

Pure ignorance. Surprising coming from you actually. Plenty of artist have blurred that line before. plenty of Hip Hop albums that are classics that don't focus on Hood and Street shyt. Kanye's first 2 albums kept that at a minimum. And both are universal classics.
I think he just lacks the depth and subject matter. Even looking back, a lot of "deep cuts" are shallow. Even when he's trying to showcase some form of depth he rarely ever leaves the surface.
I noticed this a little while ago. Even with tracks like "Fear", it's worded nice, vocabulary on display in some areas. Good metaphors. But then you look closer. He really isn't saying anything.

I think if the genre is to continue, its going to be hard to deem something a classic only relying on a street/hood theme, as more blacks move out of them and the perspective and definitions of what it means to be black and real continue to shift. Hip Hop's original purpose was to shed light on the struggles of the black community with the hope to change the way we were living. It would be in vain if we only give credit to the systematic structures set out to destroy us as a defining benchmark to what makes our music what it is. We make black music as black people. Good music is good music regardless of where you come from. It's not keeping it 100 about who you are that makes you less authentic and less hip hop.
Drake can't make a classic because he just fronts all the time and lacks the skill to make a hip hop classic period.

Cant be a classic those 3 songs we heard are duds and wack ..classics cant have 3 skippable jawnts n trash 1st single
Lol at asking Drake to make a classic. When will so-called hip hop fans learn?
He has one in Take Care, and Nothing Was The Same wasn't too shabby.
As I put down my stanning for a little bit, this needs to be at least a 4/5 album.

There are plenty of quality albums that are not classics.
I think he's always made good music. Nothing groundbreaking or amazing though.
