No one from todays gen stands up to anyone you listed if im being real
Kanye, Frank definitely do
I mean most mainstream classics have gone on to be platinum etc, no non mainstream classic is going to do numbers or be known to most of the public
Yeah again I’m talking about artist careers not specific projects
Not every project an artist is going to release over a decade span for example is gonna be a 10/10 to everyone
But when it’s all said and done, don’t the numbers mean more than what this or that guy thinks is a classic?
Drake is basically LL Cool J, someone who sold millions consistently but no one cares about in due time because his music didn’t pass the test of time
Good post
Again I think people are thinking I’m talking about an individual project when I’m alluding to an artists entire career
I feel it’s more plausible to check on what he was able to do statistically to place him here or there then to place him based on what this or that guy thinks is a “classic”
Big statistics always lead to impact, genre shifts, etc.
Stop speaking so hypothetically and just say “drake” bro 😂😂
Great music > numbers
Yes objectively great music exists get over it
To answer your real question OP yes drake music is mid and doesn’t stand up to real goats like MJ, the Beatles, prince, Stevie wonder, miles Davis, etc. All he has is numbers
Was gonna respond to this but i don’t know your username and “kanye Frank” post speaks for itself

Lol i don’t know man haven’t mentioned drake in here once
I don’t think you can read??

Not sure what this has to do with the thread or how insanely stupid you have to be to type this out but try to stay on topic little buster
What it really means is the drake brand is on its A game of appealing to the most diverse range of demographics without necessarily being off-putting to anyone
This requires a lot of thinking and strategy. What you're left with is diluted music, and that's rarely able to be classic in the hip hop genre
Stop speaking so hypothetically and just say “drake” bro 😂😂
You can’t have a normal discussion?
Kanye, Frank definitely do
True i'll put them in there when its all said and done but we are still in the moment

Wasn’t that hard to put two and two together dog

well said
One of my friends always says yb is better than thug because he has a much bigger audience, and I get so angry because good art has nothing to do with how popular something is...

Yeah that’s fair. But you feel me it’s the same caliber of artistic greatness. I’d think of putting Kendrick up there but he’s missing something

I don’t know why drake keeps being brought up but ok
I’m asking if being able to do what you said in the first half of your post for example for a long time puts an artist at a top tier level or if that’s trumped because this or that guy thinks he doesn’t have a “classic”

Dude you are off the f***ing bean. U With Me? alone is better than 96% of rappers’ and LL Cool J’s entire respective careers. And that’s off one of his weakest albums. I’m not even a Drake stan but you’re just a hater if you really think that or truly know nothing about music

Definitely doesn’t think that haha
Just a troll for some KTT2 likes
Who’s saying not to care about the art?
I’m saying what holds higher weight and speaks to the art being good
Project consistently putting up big numbers all over the world let’s say or what this or that person thinks is a “classic”
Oh ok I see what you’re saying bro. I think acclaim hold more weight cause a lot of trash go on to sell (6ix9ine). I’m not downing putting up good numbers consistently cause that’s an incredible feat but I’d rather be remembered for my body of work, not sales. But if I could do both >>>

Depends on whether 'classic' is just in the context of rap only
I make a general statement about music and he take’s it personal I don’t think I need anymore proof of mental instability
