I was just thinking, Drake is shaping up to have a legendary career

[Never Broke Again]

omg...this dude capitol..smh, between MBDTF being a classic and saying Drake will be legendary...this is why I say I cant stand rap fans

you act like MBDTF being called classic is some bizarre opinion, its praised and loved and called that everywhere but this forum.

but "classic" doesn't really mean shyt at this point

The bar for "legendary" is pretty damn low nowadays. You know how somebody has a legendary career? You're still talking about them 20 years later, after they aren't in the spotlight any more. Dude is at the height of his fame/popularity....gauging how "legendary" his career is right now would be like guessing how 50 Cent's career would go when he was still selling 8 mill.

Basically people are high off his fame and popularity. Yes he's sold well, and yes he has a lot of hits, but that's not the type of shyt people are going to care about years from now. Likewise nobody cares how much "GRODT" sold because his career ain't poppin any more.

Excellent post. Especially the bolded.

Daps and reps

He makes good music that's accessible by the masses. Has some classic songs and hooks under his belt. I think he's the only artist of the new generation (Cudi, Wale, J. Cole) that actually has potential to have legendary career. As of right now he isn't, but if we're still talking about him 3 years from now...

GRODT is still significant as an album no matter how you slice it. You can say it's wack or out dated, but as a debut no one game out the gate harder than that. They way he game out the gate and then the subsequent run he had along with his crew is important to remember in hip hop. In my opinion that solidifies 50 for life.

That's all fine and well but nobody cares about that shyt in 2012. That's my point. And in the middle of G-Unit mania if you tried to project the trajectory of 50's careers and/or over all placement in rap history, you'd definitely have a skewed perspective.

I'm not saying Drake is going to stop selling records any time soon, but if selling records and/or being popular at the height of your career is all it takes to be a legend, then it's virtually impossible for the bar to be any lower.

You need perspective....time....let a few years pass when Drake ain't hot any more, then look back and ask yourself "did he have a legendary career?". I'm sure a lot of people thought Nelly had a legendary career too, back in 2000....2012 it's "he had a good run, but ultimately nobody gives a fukk about him nowadays".
