Charlamagne: Drake Should Stick to Rap, Not Singing

[@ZthaIncredible]

This proves that Charlamagne isnt a drake hater, he just prefers rapper drake compared to singer drake.

Brett Hickey Well you know everyone has an opinion (I like Kanye's music better than Pac's) but nonetheless Vlad saying Drake is the best MC right now and his one verse is better than ALLL Kendrick's shit, that is just stupid. Makes me a little skeptical of everything they do now.

[@walterromeoartist]

drake isn't even an R&B rtist, he made his own sound, nobody can copy drake's singing, it's really just melodic rapping aside from Hold On, We're Going Home, but I understand Charlamagne when he says Drake can be the next Jay Z and he's passing that up cuz he''s not just rapping, but I think drake wouldn't be as relevant just rapping if he wasn't singing, a lot of people like him singing..and that's fine, he'll be his own legacy, he doesn't have to be the next Jay Z, he's already Drake, maybe someday someone will wanna be the next drake, who cares as long as we're getting good music..

Heres the thing that people dont understand about Drake's singing.Hes not doing it to be the next Chris brown or Miguel,hes singing just for ASTHETIC,STYLE,and EXPERIMENTATION.Hes not singing to be a singer,he is singing to show an ability to step outside of the box and be DIFFERENT.

[@bamm86]

"Best I Ever Had," "Find Your Love," "HYFR," "Started From The Bottom." He makes pop music. The thing is, he's more than just a rapper. I'm not a huge fan because he's a little too soft for me BUT I like some of his songs. I give credit where it's due, but I'm not going to be delusional and say that he never makes pop music. His music is so damn pop. That's why his albums are all over the place because they're just collections of pop songs instead of being a collections that tell overall stories

[@MrGcmrG]

I have come to realize most HUGE Jay z fans don't know much about the history of hip-hop! Charlamagne is indeed a huge Jay z fan,so I'm not surprise why he thinks Drake is that great of a rapper or could be! HOVA is one of the originators of "brag rap" which is what floods the radio stations til this day.If you ever listened to Drake,that's all he does!

[@DonThrilla]

Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.

[@bboyfan22]

JCole, Hopsin>Kendrick>Wale and Drake doesn't compete lyrically against any of them. The thing with drake is that he had all the raw talent in the world and the potential to be a REALLY dope radio lyricist when he first started doing it. But when he signed to young money he became complacent and his style became generic. I still see that potential he had but he just seems like he doesn't care enough to really be dope with the lyrics. Now for anyone wondering why I put Hopsin and Cole on the same level it's simply because Cole is MUCH smoother than Hopsin, he's more of an artist than Hopsin, he's about making the music while Hopsin is all about the rapping. Cole is a better songwriter but Hopsin is the better rapper (much better in fact) but on the whole they are about equal.

i disagree completely with charlemagne on this video. drake's singing is the only thing that makes him different from other rappers. not that his singing is that good but as rapper he is just boring. he sounds like everybody else. he's not whack at all. but that hold on we're going home track was whack. not even because he sang on it. it was just lazy. he didn't even have a verse he just repeated the hook over again.

Jesse Urena you have any reason for why he is the best rapper in the game? because you kinda just sound like a dumb fanboy. i mean dont get me wrong he is better than a lot of rappers in the game but the best? nah. and by the way kendrick aint falling off because he can't keep up. he is taking time to perfect his craft. instead of dropping a mixtape every month.

Obviously everybody is gonna say drake is better cause he's been in the game a lot longer and he has more fans. people who say drake is better have not looked into kendricks music, kendrick is a better influence, if you hear his older album like Overly Dedicated or his mixtape Training Day, you may change your mind. but drake is Aight......
