Who paved the way for Drake musically?

[BlackMajik]

Lauryn hill lol

 

[Tom Foolery]

He's a mix of a lot of people. But he angled that relationship/personal success position perfectly.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

Dude is the second coming of ja rule. Who are you guys kidding.

 

[ML29]

I was just fukking around. But in a way that actually works. She broke through in a major way rapping and singing on her singles and album In the 90's.

Mostly from 808's album, but he carved his own lane later on, but most successful rappers took inspiration from someone/thing else so I can't blame him for that one

Craig David

vocally drake does sound similar to craig david

"seven days" was actually a well written song though. real catchy hook with basic but effective guitar playin'

remember the "7 days" dj premier remix with mos def and nate dogg though?
