After Scorpion's Release should Drake still be compared to Jay-Z?

[Guvnor]

I wouldn't consider those albums, one is a collaboration and the other is a mixtape compilation. Jay has more albums to his name. the same way I won't put Watch The Throne in there with The new Beyonce and Jay joint.

Breh If you reading this is an album, the Future joint is an album, More Life is an album.

Don't fall for the okie dook. They are original music he put out there for profit. Even if you take those away, look at Jay after his fifth album and compare him to drake, there is really no comparison. I'll let you say those aren't albums and it still is not even close.

Coli stay exaggerating shyt, everywhere else I see this getting major love

Drake's new album 'Scorpion' lacks a sting in the tail - review

I'm not a review guy but just had to post that for the sake of clarity.

Then you got Akademiks who is a Drake nut hugger hating on it. People on many other message boards have been let down with the record. Check twitter! This album is getting crushed by many.

Two overrated rappers with mid catalogs who have gotten by due to manufacturing hype instead of good music who've been releasing garbage for years??

Sounds like a fair comparison

Social media was loving it from what I've seen. Ya'll just didn't get what you wanted from Drake just like when Views came out, ya'll wanted it to be on some hard shyt. He'll never make an album totally on some tough talking shyt for a full project, closest thing is If You're Reading This

No, it's not that it's not what we wanted but that it was trash. He sounds uninspired, he sound like he has given up and he also made songs like Ratchet Happy Birthday and Summer Games. Defend it if you want too but I as a man can not and will not.

In other words has Jay-Z ever dropped something as horrible as Scorpion. I would argue no though kingdom Come and Blueprint 2 may be the duds in Jay's discography, he would never drop a scorpion tier album. Scorpion is so bad the cd should be sold with a trash bag to dump it immediately upon listening but that's another topic

I also would argue no because OVO is no Rocafella records, Jay is a way better businessman then Drake has been thus far.

With that said, what do you all think? Should Drake still be compared to Jay-Z? He went on one hell of a run to be fair but imo he is at the end of it here or is approaching the end of it and has been since Views.

I don't think Drake should be compared to rappers.. he's not a rapper imo.. bro sings and does dancehall.. jay can't step foot in those lanes and be successful.. drake is a unicorn

Fair opinion but he's not a good singer and is not an authentic dancehall artist.

He made his name off rapping and people do compare him to Jay-Z whether that's legit or not is the topic of this thread.

I don't fukk with those two songs either I'm just saying all this criticism sounds the same as when Views came out, give it time

Views as a whole wasn't good though and this imo is even worse. I hear you on letting people sit with it though but I'm just saying man.

As of now I don't like it.

Kingdom Come has Lost Ones

Also has The Prelude.

I've never understood the Drake/Jay and Kendrick/Nas comparisons. They're all completely different artists.

Nobody takes the statement seriously when you post it under an alias breh.

It's just comparing the "greats" of each generation against one another. There's no real though process to it really.

 

[PaperEnterprise]

Jay-Z song "Where I'm From" >>>>>> Anything Drake ever released

 

[New Username]

Jay has ownership

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Its not even close. .. As rappers Jay >

I think you gotta compare Drake with people like Bruno Mars, Chris Brown in pop realm....

The progression as a rapper just isn't there. He has some decent songs on here but no real rap bangers and no verses that make me want to rewind that shyt....
