He can hold a tune like the older people say. And he can do it better than a lot of these rappers who try to sing. But he can't sing on the level of great R&B singer or anything like that.

It's all about the content.

I'll take somebody who is an (below) average singer with great content over an above average singer with poor content.

Why you think niqqas like Akon & T-Pain got so many hits and dope songs. It's not because of their voice.

Just like some of you don't like rappin ass rappers, some of us don't like singing ass singers.

Drake's pen game when it comes to the R&B outweighs how he sounds at the end of the day.

Brand New is a classic.

When he takes himself seriously, he blows his R&B peers out of the water when it comes to lyrics. Its almost going back to the 90s with his choice of painting pictures and making choruses.

Hes not talking about beating it up or being overly explicit. Dude goes back to the lyrical essence of what people liked about R&B.

I don't think it's about vocal range or holding a note or none of that shyt, dude just comes up with good harmonies and melodies. The same way he's not a rappity ass rapper, but he can hold his own with the best. At the end of the day, his music just sounds good on the ears, which is the whole point of listening to music in the first place. Can't argue with the final product.

This. /end thread

P.S. Drake's penned R&B songs for artists like Alicia Keys, Mary J, etc ... he obviously have a talent for writing dope melodies.

Dope thing about drake is that most of the songs he writes aren't meant to sing by great singers .. its meant to sing by nyggas like him. He sings most of his just right enough and with emotion .. when real singers do covers of his songs .. they over do it and lose all emotion cuz they focusing on singing to much rather than the message .. or words he's saying :ehh:

yall cant stop 2013 from being light skin season! drizzy, chris brown, jcole. :ooh:
