    HIPHOP DRAKE BY THE NUMBERS

    Let’s classify a hiphop song as pure rap verses over a hiphop beat. Now let’s look at how much of the runtime of each mainstream Drake project is comprised of hiphop songs:

    So Far Gone

    57% of the runtime

    Thank Me Later

    72% of the runtime

    Take Care

    68% of the runtime

    Nothing Was the Same

    77% of the runtime

    If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late

    68% of the runtime

    What a Time to Be Alive

    78% of the runtime

    Views

    46% of the runtime

    More Life

    48% of the runtime

    Scorpion

    76% of the runtime - Side A
    31% of the runtime - Side B
    (52% overall)

    Dark Lane Demo Tapes

    60% of the runtime

    Care Package

    55% of the runtime

    Certified Lover Boy

    47% of the runtime

    Honestly, Nevermind

    7% of the runtime (obviously)

    The average percentage of hiphop tracks across Drake’s projects is 56.5%

    CLB only 47%???

    i thought this was odd too but depending on what you consider rapping/singing drake i’d say it is about a 50/50 split across the 21 tracks

    or close to it

    Beyoncé with only 1 song in the top 10 seems weird. I guess a lot of the sales were physicals.

    This is already a flawed classification because we know that there are dozens of Drake songs that are hip-hop songs which he sings on/which have melodic verses. What is this s***?

    I’ll have you know that these songs are included (when he’s purely rapping as well). And the numbers don’t change f***ing best I ever had was counted for crying out loud lol

    Another thing that’s funny is I’m including the whole songs runtime as a part of the percentage, not just the parts of the songs with pure rapping

    f***ing fans

    That's just the thing — Drake is rapping on Girls Want Girls, In the Bible, Pipe Down, IMY2 and F***ing Fans. On TSU, he's sing-rapping. The only songs that could be regarded as R&B records on CLB are Yebba's Heartbreak, Fountains & Get Along Better. He sings on most of Race My Mind but then there's a long rap verse at the end lol.

    The songs I'd categorize as R&B Drake songs are the ones with zero rapping. Drake doesn't have 50 songs that fit that description in his entire discography. Most of his songs are either straight rap or songs where he sings/raps or uses a melodic rap flow.

    If you actually read posts instead of rushing to judge based on numbers, you'd know that's exactly what Brave did. And go ahead, nobody's stopping you

    yea so not based on any objective criteria got it

    Brave defined the criteria, it's right there. But as has been pointed out, that's tough for Drake. Think about Lust for Life - "My ex sending late night texts because she don't know how to let go go go" starts off as rapping but then transitions to singing. You expect him to count how many seconds are spent rapping before Drake starts singing the end of the lines?

    If you think he's wrong, there's a simple solution - do your own count

    Simply amazing. A 3 year old song from the deluxe of Indigo. It's what it deserves.
