    Especially considering that Drake is "competition" to him. In one line Jay-Z could ? Drake's entire career and ? will freak out too cuz we haven't heard new music from Jay in 3 and a half years....

    Iono bruh, he went pretty much unscathed after that "Mrs. Drizzy" line

    Only on the IC we acted like it was a career ender.

    I hate that I missed all that. Was still in jail when it happened >_>

    That is a good question, LOLOLOLOL honestly it prolly dont matter as long as he stays rich. But to purists and the like, if Drake doesn't get a classic album he can't stake his claim and place in Hip-Hop's hall of fame.

    To me if he can't drop a classic album his career will fizzle out and ppl won't remember the music the same and hold him in as high regard.

    ? don't even remember or give a ? about Biggie and Pac these days. Hip-Hop Hall of Fame is just some conversation ? . This genre doesn't celebrate its legends. Hip-Hop is just like the streets. Out with the old, in with the new.

    Nobody needs classics in Hip-Hop.

    The bar has been raised the last few years and it continues to get higher. A lot of the top artist are taking thier albums and craft more seriously. For him to be the "top guy" there is a certain criteria and expectation that is expected of him that his predecessors in the same position have met. Does he need a classic album? No. But look at it this way. a classic album is sort of equivalent to a championship ring. You have your Barkelys Ewings Iversons ect but then you look at the elite round table of top 10-12 NBA players of all time. Each one of those guys is a champion if not a multiple time championship winner. That accomplishment along with other variables puts you in the conversation as one of the greatest of all time. I look at Drake sort of how I viewed LeBron before he left Cleveland. On pace to unquestionably go down as one of the greats but in order to get a seat at that table you need to not only dominate your era but you also need to be a champion. Drake has done the former now it's up to him to seal the deal.

    Yall can disagree and nosign the ? outta this but I think Jay-Z will get at Drake for the ghostwriter ? . I think Jay-Z is the only artist who can come out and denounce it and EVERYONE will stop ? with Drake. Just like how he did DOA, throwbacks and Cristal. They're definitely gonna ask Jay about the Meek ? especially cuz he manages Meek and that's money to him.

    I can't see how Jay wouldn't take it as a slight to for someone to have writers and then say they're "Jay-Z" now when Jay don't even write.....

    The ? am i reading. Jay and drake appeal to two different demographics. This aint apparel or champagne

    If he keeps doin' what he's doin' then more power to him. If he wants to be remembered/respected as an artist***, he needs a classic.

    Im expecting this album to be overhyped garbage like all his other albums. Maybe Drake will prove wrong this time but I doubt it.

    Why would you listen to garbage?
