      Very true. '90s to the early 2000s, at least, something like Drake couldn't exist. There were still standards and codes in hip hop, and the streets, not these corporations, still had some say-so in whether an emcee was legitimate or not. None of that is upheld right now, which is why the industry and the music, for the most part, is basically trash.

TDE was a business yes, but these cats didn’t put out every year and top wasn’t forcing nobody to do that either.. everybody on TDE is a top performing lyricist, some more than others, but none less, high standard rapping. And rapping, putting word to paper, is the art form of rapping. And the fact that niggas let him get away with it, proves more so the threat of an emcee he is.. we would never let nas, hov, em, or even Kendrick get away with claiming they’re the greatest rappers, yet having other push yo pen.

Growing up, we were sold the idea that rappers were unique from other people in the music growing up, we were sold the idea that rappers were unique from other performers in the music industry, because they are supposed to write most if not all of their lyrics. I think we understood that other people might write a hook or something for a rapper. But one of the selling points of rap and hip hop was that they were supposed to be the ones who wrote what they were recording lyric for lyric.

    Stop saying “we know Drake has a pen and can get busy when he wants to” cause we really don’t. If some of his most popular songs have been shown to be ghost written or straight up stolen why wouldn’t his less popular ones? He’s shown us he can’t freestyle on multiple occasions and with all these reference tracks we know he can’t write a song by himself either.

    Drake knows about the unwritten rules in rap. He knows that you can't get writing help with your rap verses and then claim that you're the #1 rapper, but he keeps doing it. If you're being objective then you know that Drake needs to be excluded from conversations that has to do with who's the best rapper. If you're a pop artist/entertainer it doesn't matter that much, but if you want to be perceived as an MC you can't do that.

And he (and his fanbase) weaponizes his pop star status in the EMCEE goat debate. Because, if you want to put him in the Kanye debate there's no issue there

      Meek said all that because he didn’t post his album. The 2hr interview Drake did says Meek wasn’t in a good headspace when he said that, so he ran with that.

      He came out the gate with poppy hit records, that was always his lane.

      I dont mind Drake doing rap but he should NEVER be placed next to greats like KRS1, JayZ, 2pac, 50 Cent, Wu tang....
      As far as rap he is in a category with Dr. Dre, Eazy E, Kanye, Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer.

    These 2 dudes can never let Drake fall in their eyes
    People cannot handle this dude falling from grace and it is LAUGHABLE and TELLING
    Very Trumpish type of person with his fucking crowd

    It's not a, "reference track" if its the same exact track. It's Karaoke.

    It’s been so many references tracks from Drake that at this point he should not be mention with elite Rappers. They tip toeing around it and people like ICE Ish and Joe are the reason why drake continues it

    Bruh f the reference he lied on the shop that he made mob ties so doesn’t that show he willing to lie about his artistry gotta stop the bs 😂

    Drake's got more reference tracks and lace fronts than Lil Kim!

    Drake could have done all this and been fine. The problem is clamming the top spot as an emcee when you know you have help. Its like saying SHEIN is better than GUCCI because they put out more clothes. STOP IT

    9:32 Drake has loyal fans. The fact that he can't wait more months to actually work on a track, instead of using other people's work is worrisome.

    Drake’s pen is gonna have a big fat asterisk no matter where you put him. Putting out an album every year like Call of Duty and having help is wild

    Goalposts are being moved like a mf. Yes, it affects his legacy. Big part of the reason of why the goats are the goats is not only their rap skills but also their consistency, longevity and ability to make hits. He seems to be the only one who has so much help but it's swept under the rug

  • @marioedwards6289

    The hell is he talking bout. If he’s a pop star how can he be an emcee?

  • @bungle3912
    @bungle3912 Před 14 dny +1

    It's not a problem if he uses reference tracks when people say he's a pop star. But when you're entering him into the conversation of a GOAT MC - no. You can't have reference tracks and writers if you're the greatest MC.

    When hip-hop went commercial, it truly went dead. If you get millions, then your art you represent becomes comprimised.

    Jay-Z in his prime, released an album every year from 96 - 2004. So you can write your own work and still be consistent
