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

[Youseenmywork]

Drake is the Brittney Spears of hip hop

 

[JYoung24]

Who's number 1?

Kendrick or cole

Kendrick or cole

MC yeah... I can agree but overall hip hop artist right now

It's hard to argue against homie

It's amazing how BIG KRIT is over looked like wow when we talking about the new generation of MC/Rappers. He writes his own shyt and produces it . The underground legend he is destined to become .

I can't knock Krit at all but both of his solo albums didn't hit to me. Kendrick, J Cole, and Drake all have delivered one/two great projects

I'm looking forward to his work now that Def Jam isn't involved in his career.

You tripping...


nikka was in his bag on that 4PM in callabases jawn

The bars
The flow

My question is what's the criteria we're grading him against since he's become some what of a Rap anom

that shyt was average as hell

This discussion is pointless on the Coli for a couple reasons.

Coli brehs can't process that somebody who has had co written songs also writes. To the Coli Drake and Kanye never wrote anything in their lives despite them having credits writing songs for others.

The extent to which Drake writes his straight rap is speculation depending on what you believe or want to believe.

Drake is in the same place as a writer to me pretty much. A tier below someon like Kendrick but still a better artist / writer than most of rap.

drake is not a better artist then kendrick

 

[JYoung24]

Maybe that's it.. you can't deny his talent and his music

It's undeniable

Great hip hop artist but he isn't an MC

how is he a great artist when he has wack albums his music is not great views was straight weed plate status

 

[JYoung24]

MC yeah... I can agree but overall hip hop artist right now

there albums are better than his especially Kendrick he got certified classic albums drake don't so even as a artist he can't be better than them

he's another one better than drake not just as an mc but a artist too

It was the opposite for me, even in my Stan days. I always saw his strength as his writing and lyrics. As s musician he's just okay. He's not like a Kanye level artist. Doesn't have undeniably amazing LP's. They range from good to great. Nothing ground breaking. Just good music. So when he got exposed, it was weird for me

This. nikkas can't act like he wasn't in those discussions before July 2015.

You gotta write ya ish(at least most of it)....it's an mc requirement....simple as that
