How can the man with the most billboard hits ever lose in a hits battle? Even against hov
This is going to sound like the most simple answer ever but it depends on who you ask.
Drake said it best: "We play an opinion based sport, not a factual based sport"
I'm guessing, most people aged over 30 will say HOV. Also, nostalgia hits different with Jay. He made classic tracks before Drake even started rapping. However, Drake has a more diverse catalogue, due to him dabbling in various genres of music.
If you're talking pure rap, Jay probably wins. If you're talking overall artistry, Drake wins.
HIT FOR HIT Drake wins
CATALOG FOR CATALOG Hov Wins
Drake’s 20 best songs Vs Hov 20 best songs (which is really the format for vs) Hov wins but it would be close and extremely entertaining
This would be crazy but hits cant compare to classic records. So Hov wins
I feel like nobody would ever choose a Hotline Bling over a Dead Presidents
