Whether you consider him an MC or not, Drake should not be able to put himself in the conversation of best rapper. TOO MANY reference tracks have come about showing us that he doesn’t create the music that he raps over on his own. He got on The Shop and spoke to the fact that the Push beef got him to create Mob Ties and other records, only to find out that he inherited the song from a younger talent. It’s weird. He is a colonizer in the culture playing the part of someone that belongs, but doesn’t.

To say this does not effect Drake at all, as Ice claims, is not opinion it is demonstrably false. You cannot be named a top 5 rapper and 4 rappers write their own lyrics, learn the beat, create the cadance, formulate a style and one rapper every single part of creating a rap song from cadance, style and lyrics were handed to you. You have forfitted your title as a rapper, a lyricist in the catergory of rap. It is like entering a lawn judgement contest and 5 contestant procured their own lawn, 1 hired a lawn service, and hirer wins the money and title. If you want to say Drake is a great artist, pop star, I cannot refute that but to say it does nothing to his rap credentials, miss me with that.

[@whym6438]

Let me put it this way. If Drake was really the best lyricist in the game, he wouldn't even want ghostwriters. What could they even offer him that he couldn't do better by himself?

[@kaydee1485]

​@@whym6438 Writing takes effort and time so I get the appeal. The issue to me is he's been jacking songs since his 2nd album so how far back and how much has he been taking other people's songs. Also constantly jacking songs and flows is going to make his pen lazy and weak, if it wasn't already.

He writes. But he also has writers. So he has hits but he also uses steroids. So the hit is the hit but it’s a hit with an asterisk.

[@andredmoss]

@@regalsylvester I believe he writes but to what extent is what comes to question with each new reference track. But I also don’t want to hear you are the greatest in your raps and on the shop nodding and grinning like you like Mob Ties I did that.

[@regalsylvester]

@@andredmoss tbh when he was on the shop his body language wasn’t “yea i did that”. It was more like “im glad you like it” he didn’t own it. It’s like he’s happy they liked it but he knew he couldn’t brag about that record the same way as if he was in his bag. And tbh that record hurts cus i really love that one. It’s still good but it’s like maaan, i wish u did this one yourself.

[@fredricksmith8760]

​@regalsylvester he DOESN'T WRITE, dude. He's 100% out of the GOAT MC CONVO. No matter how much you raise the goal post, the DAMGE IS DONE. Not while Nas, Kendrick, Jay-Z, Royce, Eminem, LUPE, Crooked eye, School Boy, JCOLE and the such are alive. Drake will NEVER be mentioned among the greats. That's what matters the most to him, and that train has PASSED

It’s ridiculous. They talmbout he not gonna care cause he not catering to hip hop anymore if that’s the case, why he still doing records and tours with 21 SAVAGE? Why he still doing records with J.Cole? Tell him to stop collaboring with hip hop if he truly doesn’t gaf 😂

Thank you for keeping the workday flowing with solid conversation and laughs.

[@gregwallace34]

All this “he too busy to write”, well don’t proclaim him as a rapper because what was required of a “MC/emcee” WAS authenticity. Crazy Ice has that stance consider Arse name his built off his OWN bars. This whole sh!t garbage

[@vashonsantiago818]

The writing matters just like the flow does, Drake is described in a rapper category and that's why he's picked at. We can't put Drake in convo with Jay z, Biggie, Pac, Nas, Kenny, Cole etc. He's in a group with Diddy, Timbo, Ye etc. but not really because he doesn't do that completely either. He's some what manufactured. He can rap probably but if left on his own... Who knows what his grouping would be.

[@damariuspenson8612]

There is no other rapper we consider as one of the best that has reference tracks and writers he lose alot of points to me

[@devildham]

Drake has more in common with Lil Dicky than he does Lil Baby. The reason Dicky doesn't get that kinda smoke is because he's honest about his life experience and he can rhyme without the whole writing room of Empire in his pocket. Hip-hop ain't just your delivery it's your pen. You can still be down if you're not writing but don't be fake and don't call yourself the greatest MC of all time. Cardi got ghostwriters, too, but nobody comes for her because she ain't lying about it.
