    Drake would undoubtedly be perceived as the GOAT across the board if quentingate wasn’t blown out of proportion and Views completed the “Drake is now the millennial rap god” trilogy after NWTS and IYRTITL

    Or if IYRTITL was properly rolled out as VFT6 instead of being used as the surprise contract fulfillment project

    So yall crucified Drake for using QM as a reference artist but not Jay Z when Kanye basically gave him that song 😂

    I mean it's HOV though.
    yeah there's a double standard for some reason when it comes to Drake. I never question Drake's skill or passion for the art. he's easily going down as one of the greatest to ever do it. I always criticize Drake from an artistic stand point

    It’s not ghost writing, it’s co writing, Kanye didn’t write the entire song but it looks like he was just giving him a reference

    Thank Me Later had some great tracks but also suffered from some clumsy tracks and seasonal Young Money summer hits - a victim of its era. He came back stronger with Take Care which was a lot more atmospheric.

    Views was another mixed bag. Album lacked direction and felt like a compilation. The cover art was TACKY! I can see why some people enjoy it though.

    What are the clumsy tracks in your opinion?

    Views cover is kinda lame

    no rapper has ever rapped with the same mastery and passion as Hov on his classics.

    Many great rappers out there, including Drake. But there's only one JAY-Z.

    This is valid. If views was properly executed and those ghostwriting stories wasnt around him those 2 years then it would a easier convo. Views still did amazing nonetheless

    How is that a bad take? All things considered he has the second best discography ever in rap. Features, loosies, albums, mixtapes...only Hov and Wayne can compete with Drakes discog

    Me personally I don’t care but the hip hop community has created this stupid double standard to validate their fav artists and invalidate the ones they dislike

    People praise Jay Z for the same things other rappers get criticized for doing, it’s weird & hypocritical
