I dare anyone say that when it comes down to it, Drake is one of the REALEST rappers out there.
Dude even makes fun of himself. You can't pull secrets on that guy or pull his card. Its all there in his music.
Dude is on his music who he is as a person. THAT IS HIP HOP. Is it not?
And because I said that, Kanye West is one of the GOATs. He made it possible for dudes who weren't necessarily street/urban to have rap careers...AND be open about where they came from. Mind you, a lot of 90s rappers didn't grow up street/hood but they HID that aspect of their lives. Thats the difference.
