Drake?? Really?? All he does is bite off sounds or artistes styles. He's a biter not versatile or experimental. Bit off grime... Bit off Carribean/afro beats...bit off the Weeknd and pnd sound.
In terms of versatility, Bowie and Prince.
Prince was definitely experimental and versatile for his time. A great singer and actor, hard to pull off especially for someone who was shy. I see alot of him in Drake now that you mention him. Prince looked to Toronto for inspiration before it was cool to do. Both mixed race, similar struggles with women in their songs.
Do you think Prince was more versatile than MJ tho? I don't think so but I could see an argument for it.
