Drake is just Drake. I mean, I've grown to appreciate the guy but if I'm looking to here some rap music, he's the last person I think of. I can understand how someone looking at the state of hip hop might completely ignore that he's a part of it. Drake doing big numbers doesn't mean that the rap game is healthy right now. He's so far ahead of any of his peers there has to be something else at play.

Sales+highly sought out features is something. KDot has one album people broadly talk about. Unless he's leading from the rear, it's not even a debate that Drake is the face of that class. Now, you guys can argue about who is better, I think that's different than who is the leader.
Is this the same Antwon that works with Lil Ugly Mane?
damn this is dope
Right click, save as
Antwon is west coast Nature Boyz.

agreed.
I'd love for someone to confront Drake on sales. Vanilla Ice sold more albums than Kool G Rap, does that make him more important to the culture?
Then you don't agree...LOL
Anyway, was blazing through my old library, what the fuck happened to Quest???
...Also some new Thurz would be nice!
Oh and U-N-I???
HRD, you cop the tri-color Quelle vinyl yet?

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
oddly enough, maybe so.. VI helped to bring hip-hop mainstream. Made it more acceptable for white America, and even more accepted as a legit form of music. If you remember around that time there was music and then "oh, hip-hop"
Not to say that it wouldn't have happened without him, but he did help in that regard quite a bit..

Oh no, VI contributed to hip-hop's success.. Denying the fact that he sold godly amounts of records and helped bring hip-hop to mainstream is just being silly..
7x plat.. basically from one song. lol.
Him and Hammer are a real big part of hip-hop being a commercial success...
They're oceans apart man. Anyone ever seriously considering comparing them on that level needs to get their heads checked.
If this was Civ V K.Dot would already be in a renaissance and Drake is stuck in the dark ages.

I thought he wasn't going to be able to top Section 80.
Then he did by a long shot.

Drake type of person to start pillow fights at young money sleep overs
Yep. Kendrick running around with Swordsmen while Drake got some leveled Warriors or something.

I still stick with whoever said Drake is an R&B artist that happened to be able to rap.
That's why he's making music with his brother, Chris "Oooh Kill Em" Brown

Got a friend saying he was there during the Kendrick cypher. Said we haven't seen anything yet.
Does Eminem the Gawd make an appearance?
He was marketed as a rapper, he associates himself with rappers, hes on a label with rappers, rap is the base of his music.

If he actually made an album where he only raps instead of crooning all over the place, then maybe he'd be two stages below Kendrick on the Rap totem pole.
The vox ain't doing anything for me, but that beat is fire.
I consider Drake a rapper that can do R&B, not the opposite tbh. Because one, he's a studio singer. Lol. Whether he's a better rapper than Kendrick is a different story. Which he's not. But going back to his first tape, he was obviously rapping more than singing. I'm a fan of him mixing both. Only reason I listen to him in the first place.

Can Drake really sing though?
He seems like the next evolution of Skateboard P (crooner/rapper) but with better hooks and a better falsetto.

I never heard him sing live so I don't have a particular care for his actual singing talent. All I know is I listen to his albums, and well, he can be melodic and hold a note on his tracks. Lol. I'm not looking for any Marvin Gaye vocal chords when I listen to him. Just, nice music.

Who else is in the Cypher with Kendrick? ASAP, Pusha-T, Drake, Big Sean and Eminem?
Seriously. And the funniest thing is that they're as insightful as they are funny.
e:Hi 5's are corny now? Y'all are too much
Q reduced to Kendrick's prop lol
Given the quality of his music and work ethic, what do you expect. He's TDE's Memphis Bleek.
