Y’all gotta take Drake OUT of top 5. He was considered that due to his consistency and work;however, upon learning how he stifles up-and-coming artists and steals their work, steals styles and flows from established poppin artists, and doesn’t write a lot of his work, you cannot keep him top anything!!! What we were once judging is a façade and changes everything. It’s now disrespectful to keep him close to any artist that doesn’t do the same.

[@leandroportillo1234]

I agree 100%. If Drake fans had a family member or friend who Drake screwed over, they would have a different take on it. They just can’t understand how much Drake has hurt so many people. And the people he put on, it was for his benefit. Drake doesn’t do anything out of the kindness of his heart. It all boils down to money.

Drake above Nas is fkn crazy. 30 YEARS of excellence. Drake got 15 years in. 10 of them is “Drake.” The only person with more longevity at a High Level IS JayZ. Jay went on his first tour in 1989, bruh. And he can drop a, “God Did” tomorrow and be the talk of the moment. 35 Years is unheard of. He’s also helped put-on on more high level artists than any other emcee. To be The GOAT its more than rapping or hits. It’s the Positive impact of your presence. It’s culture. It’s who you put on. It’s your influence. It’s how many other artists look up to you. The way rappers make albums was changed forever by Nas - ILLmatic. He changed the genre, forever. Drake and everybody else makes albums after Nas’ influence. Jay and Nas are #1 and #2 in any order. Undisputed. Nobody has been high level respected longer. Eminem came in the game rapping like AZ, who Nas put on. We know AZ from ILLmatic and The Firm.

Elliot saying DONALD GLOVER Is cosplay as HIPHOP is bananas it’s totally different from someone who does not come from or was not born into the culture. Drake mite have liked rap in his younger days but HE IN FACT DID NOT GROW UP in the HIPHOP culture. The hip hop culture consists of how you grew up as a kid, from first scuffles, hand shakes, where was you in life during hip hop prime pivotal moments, how you felt when certain hip hop songs made you feel in you daily life.

[@blacklinkfirelink2304]

I don't think Drake is one of the top 5, in terms of skill or in accomplishments. Drake rules popular music, which is his main qualification for any "all-time great" list. In my opinion, his competition is simply far weaker than what the top artists of the past were dealing with. He is just benefitting from an era where the "real" rappers don't make mainstream hits, and the mainstream hitmakers don't "really" rap. I firmly believe that if he was dropped into the early 2000's rap environment, he would be middle of the pack at best. Does anyone really think that Drake would be the dominant artist in a field that contained greats like Em, Jay, Wayne, and Outkast, along with mainstream radio staples that were still rappers actually rapping, like 50 Cent, TI, etc.? Mid-00's and earlier, he is not even close to the dominant artist of those eras.

[@SweetieMs]

That’s what bothers me about people who keep putting Aubrey in the top… he didn’t have the same kind of competition AND IT WAS BECAUSE labels would make sure he hopped on songs with all his potential competitors, and many artists who didn’t do that got suppressed in marketing budgets to work their music. He’s a plant in alllll the truest ways

How ? When he’s referencing Akademiks and the lies Drake was just telling. Do you think ?

[@trutherbotJOKER3]

Drake is not hip hop, somebody lied! Lol

[@vegsbeats]

Drake tried. He understands the culture

[@remiemayfallia]

Drake mimics the culture. Like what a mime does to somebody walking by.

[@Hiii_Power_Cuban]

To include drake in any hiphop list is disrespectful wtf going on 😂

[@remiemayfallia]

@@Hiii_Power_Cuban Yeah, it’s one of those topics where people try to be politically correct. And go with the most relevant. He’s a very good pop artist and good at making song for women to get ready for clubs, etc.

@@remiemayfallia I feel you if thats your preference but I just don't like em at all and never did the same way I don't like eminem I think he's over hyped and I don't relate to em.
