Over Wayne's run. Wayne was just in the right place right time, his status was elevated by the fact that he was southern dude rapping like a New York mixtape rapper during the weakest period in Hiphop history. Comparing his output during his run vs the dudes above & the others that have been mentioned here I can't even call his run legendary.

Drake's run has been good. But Wayne's was Great.

You're right breh

Thank you for recognizing the truth.

The way Wayne locked the streets down with the mixtapes.

Then he put of Very good albums. Tha Carter series is better than Drake's 3 albums.

The girls loved him, the thugs loved him, the radio loved him.

It was universal.

The girls loved him, the thugs loved him, the radio loved him, although not nearly as much as the radio loves drake

It wasnt universal. wayne got as much hate during his run as drake

Drake's run is just as if not, more impressive

spot on post

 

[Shadow King]

Commercially? Absolutely.

Drake never went on the run his fans expected

Expound brethren his fans seem enamored with whatever he does

Wayne's run is better than Ross', Drake's and Kanye's, tbh

We talking about runs, not longevity.

Drake never had a period where he absolutely dominated the charts.. matter of fact dude didn't even have a top 5 single until 2013

Best I Ever Had was #2. Find Your Love was #5.

 

[Lavish]

Drake will never have a run like Wayne.

Best I Ever Had was #2. Find Your Love was #5.

His resume still light as hell for a superstar

Wayne had both Got Money and Lollipop hit #1... summer of 08

Drakes fans are similar to Em fans. Alot of his fans dont really like hip hop like that.
I co sign OP.

 

[BrothaZay]

Jay z
Wayne
Drake

Greatest runs in rap history. who else comes close?

We talking about three nikkas that did it commercially, for the clubs, and streets and hiphop heads all at the same damn time

Drake doesnt haev a top 5 run alltime, neither does Jay

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Wayne had the greatest run of a mediocre rapper. It would be equivalent to Troy Ave taking over between now and 2021.

 

[Mag149]

you are 100% right his run was incredible from mixtapes to albums, it might have been perfect timing but it was a great run but the fall off has been tragic and sad

 

[CHICAGOrilla]

So we gon act like Drake ain't carryin g the torch?
