This gotta be the dumbest post I’ve ever seen. Wale doesn’t make nearly as good of music as drake does
How yall let me run it down here?
Im not even from around here
i know theres a lotta ppl on here that are foreign (in terms of usa pov) but people forget how deep and "put on for home team" usa is and especially rap
if a usa rapper came out with a similar album to the one in 2010 it would have been taken different in terms of talk/reception in the genre, even with all the singing and "soft" hangups of the time - at least to some degree
Drake also having a connect already in usa with his dads family plus being in touch with Rap royalty of Rap-A-Lot did help him "survuve" a lot and was smart, which part of why foreign rappers didnt work beforehand because they had no base and no "helping hand/cosign" like Drake was able to achive.
Multiple reasons made Drake able to succeed in the in, & imo it was his connect to Rap-A-Lot the most - at least state wise, which also would help with Lil Wayne taking him serious with his connect too out & the industry in general with respects to them as well.
TL:DR: Rap-A-LOT a top GOAT and Scarface top 10
MJ’s most known, highest-selling singles and album (Thriller) were released pre-vitiligo when he was still a brown skinned black man
if anything, his success decreased (though not by a great deal) starting w the Bad era once he got lighter. so he is not a good example of this
bro what are u talking about lol
