VeggieMid 2010s before rap became the cultural zeitgeist, yes.
Him being the most popular doesn't mean he was carrying the genre lol. Also thats when the new era came out like Uzi, kodak, 21 and xxxtentation

He literally was tho.
He was tolerated because he carried the rap game and was essentially the gate keeper in crossing over.
Now that rap is more popular, these rappers feel comfortable to toss him aside.

He wasn’t tho, rap didn’t look or sound like him. He (and the other big three) noticeably didn’t influence the kids under them. He carried it commercially - that’s where it stops and ends

Respectfully, crooning rap is only here because of Drake

The best argument for Drake carrying the game was in like from SFG to 2014. Maybe until IYRT.
That was when he was at his best and most genuine

Don’t even think anyone is downplaying him. Just telling it like it is.
Yall got tricked by record sales and streams into thinking he was something he wasn’t. People who knew ball were telling yall for years

He was but using the numbers to back that dominance up doesn’t work because of his crossover ability. Like if we talking about the biggest runs in rap and u bring up “One dance” and “Hold on we’re going home” it doesn’t really make sense.

Running the game was never about sales. Sure, sometimes they went hand in hand but it was never just that. Drake fans never quite understood that.
There’s a reason Drake had to step into Metro and Futures world on WATTBA and they didn’t have to go into his
