    Drake as a artist (singin,songwriting,etc.) he's really talented but people wanna boost his rapping ability because of the other talents.Because strictly rappin he's average he has hot lines here and there but People hype up his lyrics because people want that next complete rapper.Thats Ill lyrically and Musically so therefore hyping up alot of young cats talent for the sake of it.

    He can rap, he's just not good at it.

    If you've heard his pre-Young Money stuff and don't like it, I understand. But if the earliest Drake song youu ever heard was "Best I ever had", then you are not qualified to say whether or not he's a good rapper. If BP3 was the first Jay album someone heard, they'd prolly think he was a wack rapper.

    TIP's flow is superb to anyone in the game right now, that's what has kept him were he is for close to 10 years, are you seriously trying to say that Drake's flow is in the same lane as T.I.'s? I mean this place is truly wack with some of the stuff u dude's come up with

    Come on son? Getdafuckouttaherewithdatbullshitson!

    Yeah I know, he's a much better singer than he is a rapper. His rapping voice is so annoying too. Idk why ? today gotta rap all the time. Are there any singers anymore? Why the hell you gotta rap for? Your gift is singing and songwriting so let it be. Jeez.

    I've listened to his old stuff and his new stuff, his hyped stuff and his wack stuff. He just doesn't have it.

    If the Blueprint 3 was the first Jay album someone heard they would at least acknowledge that he can flow.

    BP3 >>>>>>> Drake's career

    drake is wack if he wasnt rapping with wayne no1 would give 2 ? about him. lil wayne is wack too. ppl are afraid to have their own opinion. i rather listen to dudes like cassidy, fab, and banks at least they dont use some recycled wack punch lines all the time


    LOL @ Drake being wack, but then mentioning 2 punchline rappers as being better. GTFOH!!!

    so instead of people having their own opinion that he's nice, they should take on your opinion that he's wack...cuz that would certainly end the problem of them having their own opinion...

    so you are saying people should share your opinion then...you're pretty much saying it's impossible for somebody to genuinely think Drake is a good rapper for any reason other than them also being a fan of Wayne...

    Drake does everything on an average level.... LOL @ ppl really thinkin he can actually sing... Like someone else said his song writing abilities are AMAZING i.e. Unthinkable- Alicia Keys... but he's an average rapper in a sea of wack ? and the Token guy in a group filled with some of the weakest ppl ever (Young Money). Drake isn't wack he just isnt that great...

    Lauryn Hill >>>>>>> Drake both in Singin and Rappin... who wanna disagree??



    Id rather jam drake then lauryn hill, but thats just me cause I dont jam females period, thats like watching the wnba(but I do know the meolh is a classic)

    I call BS on that, He was big in Canada before he got with Wayne with songs like "Replacement Girl." And "Best I ever had", the song that made him popular, didn't even feature Wayne. WTF are you talking about?

    This was when he was co-signing Drake, it's basically a way of paying homage to Drizzy. You rly think Wayne thought no one would notice
