Serious Question: How do we grade Drake as an MC now?

[10:31]

@WickedGames got me thinking

This is an all hands.... Yes I love a lot of his music... I think he makes good music but we all know why his legitimacy is being questioned

so lets get to it

Drake and Mc in the same sentence

lol......

lets get to it

great album.....

 

[H.J.Duck]

well, let's start with the fact that he can't be in any "best mc" conversation

sure, Take Care was a really good album and couple of his other albums are good too. just don't mention him with the top mc's & I'm cool with everything

 

[mr.africa]

great album.....

great song
stillhow much of it did he write!!

 

[MostHatedBox]

Its crazy what Meek's accusations did to his legacy even my homies that listen to Drake had the when they realized breh was a fraud

 

[10:31]

great song
stillhow much of it did he write!!

this is also a great album

but we know Dre ain't write shyt

 

[Roovers410]

Not. Someone who does not write his own rhymes is on the level of dre/puff and them. Great hiphop entertainers...but an Emcee? Hell no ...thats up to Big, Pac, Jay., Nas, Rakim, Kool g rap and them

 

[unstoppable589]

Top 5 top 5 top 5...

He's still my favorite out of the new school but there is no logical way to defend him when ghostwriting is brought up.

For instance, I made this post in May 2015

WHEN HE FALLS

You nikkas still don't get the point. Half white, Canadian, didn't grow up in the hood, starred on a teen soap opera, raised in the richest suburb in Toronto, and still made it. Drake has been the hottest new rapper in the game since 2010 and still hasn't fallen off. Kendrick doesn't have the charisma or the artistic talent (singing, picking beats, etc.) to challenge him. J. Cole suffers from the same problem (and I'm a J. Cole fan). Wale and Sean aren't top tier artists. Drake is THE ONE. I know how much it hurts you guys to accept it, but "If You're Not Reading this it's too Late" cemented it. It's over, done with

"I must have been hard to watch, what a [career] for you nikkas"

Post the ghostwriting shyt, especially after that bullshyt "Views", you won't see me making posts like this anymore

Like I said, still my favorite of the new school, but he made it extremely hard to defend him or any legacy he may have had as one of the greats

Yes but Dre produced it (along with others) and mixed it which is why he can say it is his. We don't know what Drake's involvement in his albums is.

 

[LightSkinYeshua]

We dont...
