Drake beef gave the rhyme to reason needed to elevate his status
Not to say he is not a master of his craft as a rhymer but this doesn't always translate to great songwriting
Song are more than rhymes and flow, it's lyrics within format that merge with music that makes a song
Not Like Us is the first anthem Hip-Hop has had in years and someday it may not even be remembered as a Drake diss because it transcended beyond that - in the same way that Dre Day did
Within this song production is when his skillset was able to shine, with the motivation of an active rap war to bring the best out of him
That song about diving into swimming pools and going on late show performances looking like a drunken hobo wasn't it - songs like that need to be sustained with label marketing budget
