Irrelevant to the topic but reminder that Take Care is basically a Weeknd album
The first and only time in my life I’ve heard someone improve a Drake song
I’m impressed tbh
yachty sounds better on jumbotron honestly it fits him better but thats just me idk
Nas had help from QM and Jay Elec and none of y’all gonna tell me he’s not the goat
Someone was playing full jay Elec references for Untitled somewhere online allegedly
We have to actually hear them for me to discredit Nas
Drake is a rapper and a singer
If we’re being really purist on this then yeah it’s not great
But a lot of people have had help especially for their hit records
In a world where we accept that Kanye is a GOAT I thought this wasn’t as controversial anymore
Kanye hasn't been in GOAT consensus for a while now but there was a time where he was on a hot streak that people considered him as a goat artist. Even then, he wasn't in no talks about his pen game, which is sacred in hip hop if you wanna be considered the goat overall, but it's not everything
Gained some respect for drake due to not actually writing that trash ratchet happy birthday song
The first and only time in my life I’ve heard someone improve a Drake song

and as a singin ass nigga i know you for SURE appreciate this version of the song more
Kanye can’t even be in a top rapper list imo he’s my favorite artist ever but I wouldn’t put him in my top 5 MCs or some s***
Once you have all these reference tracks leak, you’re disqualified from that list in my opinion
are you just talking about verses?
yachty sounds better on jumbotron honestly it fits him better but thats just me idk
I could see that, I think I just prefer drakes voice on that one, and I prefer yachtys more aggressive songs
But ratchet happy birthday just went from being
to

Stop overrating Abel’s investment on Take Care
I've noticed that he'll add his own second verse to the reference tracks (Know yourself,10 bands, Ratchet, Mob ties, Legend) so it's not bar for bar just doing a cover of another track.Besides jumbotron which is only one verse.
Very good point

4 songs?
We have to actually hear them for me to discredit Nas
Even if I hear them
I will never discredit Nas
are you just talking about verses?
Yes rap verses, if someone wrote you a hook im not discrediting you as a rapper
Idk the people I discuss music with will care, this will be brought up for sure lmao
And if he doesn’t care about the “purist” opinion then why did he write a whole book at Joe Budden on IG then drop a boom bap pure rap EP two months later? He def cares
It went deeper than rap that’s why. Remember Drake saying he felt like Joe was coming for his character which was a bridge too far.
I really don’t think he does care if rap purists see him as the greatest. I mean one of those records you’re referring to was You Broke My Heart… clearly geared as more of a pop rap record. He’s certainly competitive when it comes to rap but I’d be shocked if he even knows this ref leaked and if he finds out id be more shocked if he even cares.
damn this party version hard as bricks i have a whole new appreciation for this song now
drake deadass made this song worse
Party song is great man
Women seem to like that song for some reason tho
In 2024 you know a song is 100% Drake if he’s rapping in that drowsy ass flow and lacing the song with cheap similes over a “real hip hop” type beat.
Anything mildly interesting assume he had help
Party song is great man
learning the brrrr on birthday was actually an effect and not bro making the sound with his mouth is wild why did drake change that
Women seem to like that song for some reason tho
I personally love the song 😂
Yes rap verses, if someone wrote you a hook im not discrediting you as a rapper
how many rap verses? lets say another rapper had mob ties and they copied half a verse would that disqualify them?
Yall thought Kendrick named BEAM for no reason?
I’m so mad that they keep using all his sauce, he should be so much bigger than he is now. Fye artist
and people using the “atleast it’s not a personal one or timestamp”
when we know “personal” for Drake is vague shots about random people hating in the industry, generic “how hard the come up was”, some lines about Baka or chubbs beating someone up, and maybe a shoutout to his mom every now and then
oh and I guess hell remind us he can act
Cmon man yall are pathetic
