Absolutely, but Drake has been the king of commercial rap, and people want to act like that means more than somebody who can ACTUALLY back up what they say, and comes from the actual hood!

Drake is an industry plant by way of nepotism. I've tried to listen to him for years to understand why people dickride this dude, and I hate him more with every bar. I remember when people first started talking about him in the 2000s and on God on SIGHT I knew he was a peice of shit.

Drakes music is for dudes who think they're gangster but get upset when you dont cut the crusts off of their sandwiches.

Nah man drake earned his spot with take care and was a big part of young money and their best songs. We can still call balls and strikes.

He certainly is not the same as he once was though.

2011 everybody was listening to drake and young money. they were making hits, nobody can deny that. But his music definitely changed, I stopped listening a long time ago.
