He's surpassed him on a mainstream level. :yeshrug:

Jay has the longevity but he never reach the heights of Drake
nikka please. Jay z right now is more internationally and domestically known.

We talking about a billionaire and head of multiple brands, married the biggest female star almost ever, and still puts out #1 albums where he doesn’t even put out singles or appear in the first 5 videos.

Drake has more hits. I’m not even sure about records sold. Jay got like 20 albums on his own.


Y’all really comparing someone who is STILL considered the rap king, 22 years after his debut... with someone who just got discovered didn’t even write all his hits and is banking on stream numbers

Drake got a long time before the hip hop world sees him as the king

Drake has delivered time after time just like Jay was doing, but Drake won't ever be accepted as being anywhere near Jay level really, he may have more hits but as for impact and skill nope. In the end Drake will go down as the biggest as for record sales and number 1's etc but lyrically and impact no. Jay has done things none of us expected any Rapper to achieve. His global success has been great, and kept a solid image with it.

Drake still has a controversy to go through, we shall see how he copes after it.

More #1's? Yes, because of streaming being factored in. But record sales? No, for the same reason. Due to streaming, sales aren't what they used to be so I don't think anyone has a shot of breaking all-time sales records of 2Pac, Eminem and Jay.

Drake is a bigger Pop star then Jay. But he will never surpass Jay on the rap tip.

All I can say is I heard about Drake in 09 and its 08 and he still the man .....he will go down as one of the GOATS in hip hop... Now will or can he have the business prowess is up for debate...props to him and he has a few songs I can jam....but I'm not even a fan of his...but I get it and let's say if u were say 13 in 09, and now your almost 23, and this dude has pretty much been on top that whole time..and he certified with the females.... So ppl my age gotta get ready for some top 5 shifting in a few yrs
bullshyt. im 23 now and the only top 5 where drake is included is top 5 punchable faces

He's missing the respect.

It's like College Football with the power 5 conferences.

Jay Z was running shyt in the SEC

Drake is doing it in a division that isn't respected.
