Is Drake the first mainstream rapper to never drop a true masterpiece?

[Human Torch]

Who called take care a 6-7?

He a FAN but we don’t gotta lie about the music

Ja rule? Nelly?

Nelly ain't a rapper though?
forgot about Ja Rule

Consensus among critics was a 7

people thought it was decent at best

It was mostly a thing about Drake fans tbh

 

[Peak]

Serious question...Even J.Cole has classic mixtapes

I'm personally not a fan but So Far Gone was absolutely considered a classic mixtaoe

Must be some internet shyt cuz in real life that shyt was considered elite. Maybe not a undebatable classic but I never heard anybody say this was less than a 8-9

 

[NZA]

Imma hear you out if you was a teenager in the 80s

nah, but it takes time for an album to really be considered a classic.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

What? There are plenty of mainstream rappers without classics

Just say you hate drake

This!

He the target of the moment


Niccas be like “I BEEN WAITING ALL MY LIFE FOR THIS” and just piling on for the sake of piling on

 

[FS4LFE]

Act like NWTS, so far gone and Take Care don’t exist.

he lost the Kendrick beef. but it doesn’t mean y’all have to start lying and trying to rewrite history.

 

[NZA]

The whole YMCMB crew


You don't even see Wayne albums on all time lists anymore. Same shyt will happen to Drake in a few years...right now you only see Take Care being mentionned at the bottom of these lists and the explanation them publications give you is that "he's hot right now so he must have an album on the list".


You already know it's a charity placement since his peers have multiple albums being acclaimed

i think carter 3 is widely regarded as a classic

I've never heard anybody say it was anything more than a 7, maybe by people that really don't care about music.

But all the people that care about music, the critics, the artists, those who are music nerds, those who are passionnate about music, I've never heard any of them claim Take Care was great.

You can easily see the big publication reviews on this album on Wikipedia

And the consensus wasn’t 7 ..the lowest review of those listed is like a 7.2 .

K bots stay cappin

 

[Nuuko]

Don't know if he's the only one, but he for sure doesn't have any great record.

 

[Pseudo]

This is a crazy statement. The majority of mainstream rappers within the genre's history don't have classics (classics by critics and the public not me)

And that's including legends like LL, Busta, hell Wayne's best works are mixtapes

He got a bunch of 50 and 60 on metacritic.

A lot of the reviews listed on Wikipedia are not taken into consideration when discussing the critical reception of an album.

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

He got a bunch of 50 and 60 on metacritic.

And the average was still 78 there
