You said sold himself as an MC. His body of work doesn't reflect that.
:comeon::comeon::comeon::comeon::comeon::comeon::comeon::comeon::comeon:

"Who else making rap albums, doing numbers like it's pop?”

"Yeah, I mean you already wrote for us, damn, nikka, what's one more quote for us?"

"I can tell you not a rapper"

"We don't dress alike, we don't rap alike
I shine different, I rhyme different"

"I could load every gun with bullets that fire backward
You probably wouldn't lose a single rapper"

"Give these nikkas the look, the verse, and even the hook
That's why every song sound like Drake featuring Drake"

"Without me, rap is just a bunch of orphans"

"With the ink I could murder, word to my nikka Irv"

"It's feeling like rap changed, it was a time it was rugged
Back when if a nikka reached it was for the weapon
Nowadays nikkas reach just to sell they record"

"Young rich motherfukker getting mine off rap"

"Whatever it is I got, it's clearly appealing
These other rappers getting that inferior feeling"

"Bars sound like I'm under oath nikka
I comedy central roast nikkas and turn 'em to ghost nikkas"
:ohhh::merchant:


"Okay, I had to switch the flow up on you nikkas
The shyt was gettin' too predictable
The new shyt is on steroids, I would never pass a physical"
:ohhh::wtf:

"Cause myself just told myself:
'You're the motherfukking man, you don't need no help
'"

"I am convinced I'm the only one left
That's still doing this shyt, man"


"Man that boy growin' up quick, that boy know he the shyt
That boy singin' on every song when he know he can spit"


"I got these new rappers nervous: prom night nikka
I grow tired of these fukking grown man liars"

"You know they love to pop all that shyt when I'm not around

But when I'm here, not a sound, that'll make me snap, jot it down
Go in the booth and lay a body down"

"Off everything my pen wrote we went from Bundy to Winslow"

"Machine gun raps for all my nikkas in the back"

"New flows got new flows, rap is stress, but it pays great"

"Make you think about all of the nikkas you've been leadin' on
Make me think about all of the rappers I've been feedin' on
Got a feelin' that's the same dudes that we speakin' on, oh word?"

"I’m just feeling like the throne is for the taking
Watch me take it!"

The bulk of his major records are pop.
That is demonstrably false. Out of all his singles, the only ones that could even come close to being defined as pop are "Hold On, We're Going Home", "Take Care", "Marvin's Room", "Find Your Love" and "Best I Ever Had". So that's 5 out of 26 singles. The man is a rapper.

You do understand that rap can be considered pop too right?

What non-commercial sounding his does he have? 0 to 100....Back to Back...the Motto...Started.

You're right, there are different definitions of pop. I was considering pop as a genre, not literally "popular music". Commercial sounding rap doesn't mean it's pop imo. Non-commercial is also hard to define, because IYRTITL was one of Drake's least "traditionally commercial" sounding projects but it was very popular. :yeshrug:

Either way, my point is that Drake has always considered himself a rapper first and foremost (or at least until his rapper cred got pulled and he overnight became a "singing nikka" :skip:).
