It's simple mathematics,
He's a mogul aka a powerfigure in hiphop because of his status. Thus confusing that with his accomplishment in hiphop.

No.
Hov simply has more classic/amazing albums than any other rapper ever.
This is an undisputed FACT.

Halloween GangWorth mentioning that Hov undoubtedly would’ve had more billboard hits if he was around in the streaming era. There’s a bit of stat padding nowadays tbh. Drake, Wayne and could are still the better hitmakers but as TGD said, versuz battles are mostly about nostalgia
I don't count songs that just peaked in the top 10 for one week and fell off "hits". I generally only consider a song a hit if it has some longevity in the top 10/top 20.
With that being said, Drake would still have a s***-load more hits than Jay Z without the streaming era. He surpassed him as the rapper with the most rap #1s back on 2012 (3 years after he broke into the mainstream music market).
That's what inspired the "most #1s ever, how long did it really take me" line on 5AM in Toronto.
As at 2013:

Drake is only this popular for the exact same reason that Eminem was so popular back in the day
Because hes basically white.
His music really doesnt have any kind of substance

Even Jay Z has admitted to this before, what are you saying?
He NEVER ran a year in rap commercially or even culturally. He was always #2 or #3. Where he wins above most of his peers is his consistency and the fact that he outlasted most of them. That's all.

These kids grew up in the streaming era and sadly thats all they know
Their logic is that CLB is better than illmatic because it sold more and had more hits
No point in arguing with such dumbasses

Jay Z was the numbers guy till he stopped putting up numbers. Then the narrative changed to "fuck Billboard" and "we don't care about streams here" after buying a whole streaming service to get in on the money being generated and the streaming service failing and forcing him to sell off parts of it.
When are y'all gonna see that this man will be for something as long as he can benefit from it. The moment he can't, he'll try to make it seem uncool but he's lost that power decades ago. That's why DOA aged like milk.

You comparing two different eras with two very different means of consuming music.
The streaming era began in 2015. Drake surpassed every rapper as the rapper with the most #1 rap hits in 2011. Back then only digital and physical sales counted towards the charts, so how am I making the wrong comparisons?
