Forget Donald for a minute. I’m still stuck on the fact that y’all really put Drake in the A range as far as technical rapping
@fader @insertcoolnamehere
We dont get lost in recency bias like you bro bro
Explain nigga
Ask @Sk8brdKee thats what he said
*kee nigga dont put words in my mouth
Oh my bad Im sorry fr lol i thought u said it
I don’t think there was ever a period in time where people were attracted to Kanye West albums primarily for his lyricism
I’d say people were definitely attracted to his lyricism during Colo Drolo and Late era, it’s literally his most well known verses without the music. most people can rap them first 3 songs on Late if they were Ye fans without the music behind it lmao
He’s more charismatic and humorous too
Yeah I think Ye’s best aspect as an MC has always been his delivery and mic presence, that’s what’s kept him listenable even when the decline lyrically and flow-wise started to kick in
We dont get lost in recency bias like you bro bro
This is not recency bias. Drake has never been a A range rapper. You guys are just trying to lower the bar dude. I never see y’all give this much love to niggas like Wale or even Cole.
He’s more charismatic and humorous too
That too, a lot of bino bars would sound better coming out of ye's voice
I don’t think there was ever a period in time where people were attracted to Kanye West albums primarily for his lyricism
Not primarily but he is a cut above them bc he would have certain albums where the lyricism would really step up
LR & MBDTF maybe just those two but his lyricism was really on point for both

Right, but I don’t think it was ever the primary draw for a new Kanye West album
That too, a lot of bino bars would sound better coming out of ye's voice
I honestly think they sound good coming from Bino himself people just arent fair
Bino is super charismatic and funny
Funny enough two out of that A range you listed thinks drake is elite tho
BUT WHAT DO THEY KNOW OBLIVION.
These pastel color coded attire wearing niggas wasnt really listening to room for improvement drake and you can tell
Not primarily but he is a cut above them bc he would have certain albums where the lyricism would really step up

Those are probably his only two albums where I’d give him an A+ on the lyrical front
I’m not even talking about Donald anymore, I’m more concerned about y’all putting Drake in the A range, because that’s horrendous.

Facts
I’m not even talking about Donald anymore, I’m more concerned about y’all putting Drake in the A range, because that’s horrendous.
He is though
Right, but I don’t think it was ever the primary draw for a new Kanye West album
the entire beginning of his career is social commentary bruh
lmao. it was equally a strong quality
If lyricism was a tier list Id say Drake is overall a B tier who is A tier when hes in his bag
BUT WHAT DO THEY KNOW OBLIVION.
These pastel color coded attire wearing niggas wasnt really listening to room for improvement drake and you can tell
This is like a nigga saying yall weren’t there for Ben or Forever Michael
I’m not even talking about Donald anymore, I’m more concerned about y’all putting Drake in the A range, because that’s horrendous.
How is he not lmao
He’s great at wordplay
Can flow on literally any production
Cadence is pristine
Quotables for days
The only thing I’d knock him for is that in recent years he’s become too reliant on simple similes for punchlines
This thread definitely confirms FATD was one of the most disappointing albums in history.
look what it’s done to discourse around this man
Not to me, he’s never been that level as a rapper.
Oh okay guys everybody was wrong Kee just put us in check
the entire beginning of his career is social commentary bruh
lmao. it was equally a strong quality
And yet the production is still the highlight
If those albums were average production wise they wouldn’t be regarded as classics, he’s not a Nas-type
Drake being at a B in terms of rap ability seems...extremely fair?
I don't know man lol when I'm thinking A-A+ rappers I'm thinking of niggas like: Sean Price, Big Boi, Andre 3000, Jay Z, DOOM, Nas, Scarface, Jay Z, Mos Def, Ghostface, Phife Dawg.
And if we're talking more modern/contemporary: Danny Brown, Conway, Earl, Action Bronson, Boldy James, Freddie Gibbs, Lupe, Blu, Ab-Soul, Big KRIT, Mick Jenkins
Drake ain't rapping better than any of these niggas on a technical level. Sure he's a better song maker. But we talking straight up raps? Drake ain't touching these bonafide A+ cats with them basic ass bars man knock it off lmao
