Lets compare Nelly and Drake, 2 artist same lane, different times...

[50CentStan]

Nelly came out in 2000 and took the Hip Pop lane and was the top rapper until 2002. Dude did the Super bowl!
Drake came out 2009 and been running the game until now in the Hip Pop lane.

I think Drake is this generations Nelly dertty. So lettuce DiskUs.


Drake will never have a timeless song like Ride Wit me that even old cacs can get jiggy to.



Drake will never have a song/video combo as good as Nelly had EI and Tip Drill



Drake will never have a group of friends that he brought with him and made a classic album with.



Drake never called out anyone that was sh*tting on him by name, Nelly went at



Dake is more lyrical than Nelly as proven on 6PM in Jew York.


I would say Nelly has the more heartfelt song about his loved ones, Luvn Me > look what you did

Drake has had a longer run than Nelly. But I think Nelly is the better artist if we only count his work 2000-2002, nothing after that please

What do the brehs think, especially my friend @Napoleon zI want zo hear!

Nelly>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Wacky D]

theyre not the same type.

the closest early '00s comparison to drake is that hes a softer version of lil zane.

 

[50CentStan]

hmmm ^^^ i see what you're saying, but drake is very popular, Lil Zane wasnt Very Popular.

 

[Foxmulder]

Drake is a better rapper than Nelly. Nelly fukking sucked.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Drake is a better rapper than Nelly. Nelly fukking sucked.

No and Nelly has two classic albums, possibly three.

 

[JustCKing]

Nelly had his own lane and it's not Drake who occupies that lane these days. Flo-Rida is in that lane. Before him, it was Chingy. Drake is more of a Hip Hop/R&B hybrid. I don't get the Lil' Zane comparison as Lil' Zane was somewhat of a wannabe Pac, but he had more of a rapid delivery/flow. I don't recall Lil' Zane singing.

 

[tybo]

Drake created his own lane.

[KEEPITTRILLA]

[OfTheCross]

Sweat and Suit was his last great work..

Nelly had more timeless music than Drake, tho.

He was more street as a person and still had more reach as an artist
