helped introduce weekend. influenced tiller, prob won't have acts like A Boogie, PND, and commercializing melodies into rap

sorry man but has some great tracks but the album hasn't aged great to me. Fancy sounds dated and I believe drake has improved writing wise.

Plus im a Ye fan saying this so im just seeing things from an objective viewpoint

we had melodies in rap before drake b

nah at this level. when ye was at his peak ye looked like a unicorn in hiphop dropping 808's plus only person close to making songs like that was T-pain and he wasn't viewed as a rapper

Take Care-Views run isn’t classic according to KTT2 dot com
also

This was the biggest song of 2008
Sounds like you need to do some rap history

Idk thank me later so far gone was both some mid imo with great songs sprinkled in

more life is amazing bish

Take Care and NWTS are certified classics and he has like 3 projects that are up to debate.

karaoke, fireworks, resistance are still classics

over, fancy, miss me, best i ever had, find you love are culturally defining hits

cece's interlude is one of the most emotionally draining songs ever created

tracklist looking like the 92 dream team. would be the best project in any other artists discog besides drake

lol bruh get outta here with that should've used now why you gonna do that. this is nothing compared to hiphop post 2009

TML only Drake album I don’t like tbh. Aged terribly.

NWTS is his absolute classic and a landmark in hip-hop history

the beats changed but nothing else
t.i. is singing rapping all over that song
stop being delusional
and that was just one example

only tracks I go back to are cece's interlude, find your love, resistance, and show me a good time. I understand though I have friends that still bump TML

I mean you can say the same for miss Jackson and Hey ya but now half the hiphop songs on the radio are full blown half rapping and singing

Im starting to realize how blind some of you guys are to drakes dominance and talent. Drakes not one of my favorite artist but the man has been running the game and actually has quality bodies of work

and it's always been like that?????
wayne was singing rapping on got money
kid cudi day n nite
t-pain can't believe it
and many more just look up what was charting back then
i would say future was the reason it became more popular this decade not drake
i hear more artists trying to sound like future than drake

8.5/10

more ppl sounding like future than drake is actually debatable, however when someone hears a rapper singing and rapping the first person that comes to mind is drake. not saying drake is the first to do this but he's perfected the mix and commercialized it to a point where others have used his formula

so just cause he's the biggest artist this decade to rap n sing does that mean he made it popular even if it was already popular before him? there were songs with rapping & singing that went #1 before drake had a #1 and that wasn't no streaming era
name few artists that sound like drake right now other than irrelevant cornballs like kyle and russ

He has many classic tracks
