the reason Drake can't die is because of how low the bar has dropped in HipHop
We have no one to truly take his place of the new generation. Kendrick is the closest but no cigar. I love Kendrick but he is not the hit maker to delete Drake as much as people want.
Back in the day you had to have respect of your peers, the streets and hits to dominate radio. The seat once held by Snoop/LL/Big/Jay-Z/50/Wayne...etc
He is the only person today putting equal value on dominating radio and having bars. This is the DIY generations fault. Previously, all the gatekeepers were the people with the measuirng stick to make sure all the boxes were checked before an artist saw the public.
People are extra upset that he abused the system via ghostwriters and we have no one to kill him the way 50 did Ja.
People can walk around saying Drake is their favorite rapper. After 50, people will look at you sideways if you said Ja was your favorite rapper.
