Tbh this isn’t even nothing crazy to say at this point. Dudes right behind hov if anything
That’s where I got him
maybe like 1 or two behind Jay
First off, Jay-Z wasn't that great outside of a few albums
cap cap cap cap cap CAP!!!!!!
There is no Michael Jackson of other genres; the enthusiasm Micheal brought and the touch that he had to many people around the world (not even speaking about his music) was something that is extremely hard to replicate and to even argue that someone is the "Michael Jackson" of something ends up being a reach
MJ of rap. His dominance in rap and his reach can be compared to mj in pop music. I’m not Lietrally saying it’s on the same level but they’re very similar
@ deleted post about NWTS and IYRTITL
Yeah but content wise something is missing
Like to put them on that real GOAT level there needs to be a whole layer of substance that I didn't really find on those albums, at least personally speaking.
Still like them tho.
Ehhh. Lol he had some cool rap beats on NWTS. Nothing on the level of a Smile, a 4:44, a family feud, etc.
And tbh 4:44 isn’t even Jay z best produced album. I only named it cause it’s his most recent.
Here’s the thing tho. Notice how you shifted to production (neither drake nor Hov produce) because if we focused on the rapping and music itself it isn’t even close
Jay z wins
You were the one who mentioned MUSIC first, I agree with the rapping aspect, Hov is the best MC of all time and totally bodies Drake on that department. Drake is more versatile as a vocalist tho. Also no way Hov made better overall music than drake
drake doesn't even have 3-4 though so what is your point exactly?

That’s 4 & a much better ratio than Jay Z lol
Yeah if you're relating GHOST WRITERS to REFERENCE TRACKS then you have no idea what you're talking about.
Reference tracks are not the same as having people write songs for you and you perform them, which is the insinuation with Drake.
The amount of people that have seen and praised his pen is too large for people to still believe he doesn't write his own s***
drake doesn't even have 3-4 though so what is your point exactly?

This is still a thing? Drake not having classics is still a thing?

there is only 1 classic album on that list and that is still debatable as far as all time rap classic albums

This is false
MJ was the biggest star of all time & in all genres
Drake is just another rap super star, he’s not the anomaly MJ was, Drake isn’t even Adele level

Drake lost credibility when he released Toosie slide
Even Jay's worst song isn't THAT bad
First we need to determine what GOAT means in this case. According to the arguments people use itt, no one here seems to agree on what it means.
Is it commercial sucess and reach? If so I think no rapper has been as big as Drake. So yes he's undoubtedly the "GOAT".
Is it based on my pure enjoyment of the music, rapping skills and conceptuality etc...? I think its very strange that Drake's name is brought up to this conversation.
???
This is still a thing? Drake not having classics is still a thing?
It’s literally pure delusion
Drake lost credibility when he released Toosie slide
Toosie Slide was a good song, but it should not have been a Drake song
