you never seen him perform motion live man shut da f*** up

Drake has never released a strictly rap album. He has always sang on at least one song. What are you even saying? Lmao. F*** outta here.

exactly .../ the closest we got to drake releasing a rapo album was 2013/2014.... theres a reason he never has because hes not HIGH LEVEL RAPPER

Oh, you're one of those? I see. Have a good day.

Admittedly, Billboard has been late to adding certain things to their charts.

as a rapper hes outclassed sorry to say this

Jordan vs Bron. Peak vs longevity. Numbers show Nelly's peak was higher

:he:

I can’t wait till the day he does if he ever does it cause he has nothing to prove real hip hop rappers all give him his props but for people like you I hope he does

Nelly never flopped in his prime. So respect to him.

the only rappers peaks that could be higher are ems and 50s

A peak that lasts 15+ years with a much stronger discography/legacy > a 5 year peak.

Nelly was never the top selling artist of the year let alone multiple years so no, his peak wasn’t higher.

He's never done this/he's never gonna do this not because he can't but because he doesn't care to do it lol. Niggas who wanna be mad and not give him his credit as a rapper can stay mad. They don't matter and their opinions don't dictate s***.

People really won't fully comprehend how unparalleled Drake's run of dominance is till he hangs it up and no one comes close after him.

I don't even think this is up for debate. Nelly's hits are still huge 20 years later. Drake's will never have that longevity

Yeah cause this guy called Eminem existed. You know, the highest selling rapper lol drake wouldve been under him too.

What the f*** do y’all be talking about lmao.

You dusty f***

We're talking about Nelly, not Drake. He was never the biggest rapper during his run. Drake was.

It's always this stupid, tired argument with them. The "I need Drake to make a 100% rap album before I consider him a real rapper" clowns.

Nelly wasn’t even top 5 during his biggest album

Stop comparing hits from streaming era to songs back in the day

Hot in here and ride with me would have 2.5 billion streams each on Spotify if it got released today

Drake didn’t make it big in Latin America and Africa like nelly

only see em as far as rappers go above him

MIA is bigger than any Nelly song in Latin America, and In My Feelings is bigger in Africa (and reached more places globally) than any Nelly song.

Drake was also the top selling artist WORLDWIDE multiple years.
