Several sites say the same thing but I knew it was wrong because I know that the most #1s by any rapper after Drake is 5 #1 hits. Here's a breakdown of the most #1 hits by hip-hop acts:
1. Drake — 11
2. Cardi B / Diddy / Eminem / Ludacris — 5
3. Post Malone / Kanye West / Nelly / 50 Cent / Jay-Z / T.I. — 4
4. Travis Scott / Lil Wayne / Flo Rida / Ja Rule / Snoop Dogg / Dr. Dre — 3

How many Drake shows have you attended?

Luda

High level rapper yeah
Top tier vocalist hell no

Not a single statement you made is true lol. Drake is the bigger hitmaker and has more sales overall. Thats just the facts

went to fest 2013 and he was good but TOP TIER VOCALIST, and HIGH LEVEL RAPPER who had his best RAP songs like 6 years deep into his career and never did better is crazy.

Nelly had 4 #1 songs before streaming. thats like 15 #1 hits in this era lol and Nellyville and Country Grammar are two of the top 10 highest selling rap albums ever. there is no drake album in the top 10

He's a top tier vocalist where singer/rappers are concerned, yes. And he's definitely a high-level rapper. I don't know what you're on.

Also acting like Drake hasn't had incredible rap verses/songs in the last 6-7 years is simply being delusional.

I mean even if this is true you’re acting like 6 years is early?

Most artists peak by year 6 to be frank. MBDTF was 6 years after Kanye’s debut so?

hes never been the best rapper in his era its not ridiculous, hes been maybe close to like #3 or #4.
he still isn't a top tier vocalist for a singer/rapper (whatever this means). and to compare him to lauryn hill is f***ing insane, go listen to her live shows versus drake and you will see what it means to be a top tier vocalist lmaoo

drake is outclassed in practically everything he does. was he the best rapper in the 10s? no. was he the best singer in the 10s? NOOOOOO. was he the best anything in the 10s? maybe best popstar

I stopped reading this s***ty post after the first sentence. In what world is Drake a "top tier vocalist"? I really want to know because you must not be familiar with any rnb legend.

This whole thread is just ass.

As it stands currently, Drake is at 25.5M RIAA certified album units. Nelly is at 23M. Nelly's discography is up to date (he had an update in late 2021). Drake's discography is not up to date (he'd be at around 49-50M RIAA certified album units if he re-certified his discography). Let's not even talk about hits. It ain't close.

Drake still sold more records lmao.
Consistency>>>two or three massive albums

I'm not hearing s*** you have to say about Drake's live shows, man. You haven't seen him in 10 years. And you're delusional if you think only live rap performances dictate rap artist rankings.

Shutup c**

Albums released in 2000 and 2002 being in the highest sales how shocking

Take Care & Views are both going Diamond in some years so regardless even that argument will be out the window.

i never said that once, you are saying drake is a rapper but when was the last time drake released A STRICTLY rap album ???

like 2013 and 2014 ...?

Scorpion as well.

go shower

Was wondering why this blew up. Carry on...

you sayin this like drake live right now is good ...? he just jumps and dances with lebron and says 4 words LMAO

The 6 God is a mean God, an old testament aberration. No commercially viable artist can escape his reach. No cultural niche can break his grasp. He is the singularity. He is the all consuming void. He was everything before anything. He will be everything when there is nothing. Praise him. 🙏
