From what I’ve been seeing and following (different hip hop podcasts and platforms and people I know)
People are relaxing that rule recently
I think a lot of people now feel like the music, albums and catalog matter more than certain old standards
Kanye’s impact coupled with his catalog is enough to get him serious top 10 consideration and I’m actually seeing him included more than I used to
I was on board with “he can’t be on a list” at one point
But I don’t think I feel the same anymore. Maybe not a lyricist list but a rapper list and all that encompasses, Ye and Drake can’t be outright disqualified. They did too much and even people like Nas Pac Jay Snoop etc would have to possibly be investigated too.
yeah that’s why Kanye slides
when Drizzle puts out anything that’s on the level of Kanye’s peaks maybe we can reconsider
Are there any Gillie or Spitta ref tracks for Wayne?
Was a different time. They obviously helped him though I’ve heard a wayne verse that was definitely Spitta

lie
I almost forgot about this
is nwts this nigga's only unsullied classic? idk any songs anyone has owned up to on that one
QM was hanging with drake at that time too
4 songs is half on an album to you?
OVhoes at it again with the mental gymnastics as predicted
To be fair, House of Balloons is only 9 songs
I see what he was trying to do with it but it got lost in the mix of the album tbh. Ratchet Happy Birthday on an album even like Honestly Nevermind would’ve received better in my opinion
I very true, I usually listen to albums as opposed to throwing on individual songs so it feels out of place

In the all-time rankings of the overall artist I can definitely see ye being included. We'll see how he's considered further down the line, but personally, the pen is so crucial for an overall goat status.
oh, and the whole “im a player but im also heartbroken because I keep getting done wrong by women” like yeah it sounds cool over different bars and s*** to an extent but that s*** is so shallow when he’s one of the biggest artists in the world, a billionaire and pretty much also brags about how many women want him
Like its not really personal at all versus Kendrick talking about cheating or even Kanye mentioning Kim

✅ bingo
At least drake has that
There’s no song that we can hear and say “kanye wrote this it’s definitely his pen” unless it’s a schizo mumble session
Okay but we all acknowledge Ye ain’t really on s*** as a rapper these days. And it’s looking like Drake is closer to that than he is to Kendrick and Cole

I mean heart break and women problems are something men of every tax bracket have dealt with

“That was definitely spitta”
Where’s the proof besides your baseless assumption? We got over 20 reference tracks that were made for Drake

Abel on Drake and Take care:
"I was hungry....I was like, 'Dude, take anything.'" Today, he says he has nothing but gratitude for Drake, whom he calls "my closest friend in the industry at that time." Still, he says, "I gave up almost half of my album. It's hard.''
What mental gymnastics are you gonna come up with now to cope?
Half of weeknd's album is like 5 songs right?

the average listener can’t relate to it besides try hard guys in their 20s still pretending to be in high school and hyper Drake stand
yeah that’s why Kanye slides

Drake’s song catalog, impact and longevity is strong enough to get him in consideration too. Take Care is still considered a generational album

@Nikedufflebag wasnt this nigga just getting on your head for “speculating” about Drake

is the "im a player but im also heartbroken because I keep getting done wrong by women” s*** even his bag fr or did he just take that from weeknd and party too
Best believe there’ll be more Drake reference tracks coming out. I’ll see y’all in the next thread 🤣🤣🤣

Shut up man lol

they delusional if they think currency wrote raps for wayne.

We live in a time now where we get references
This was completely unheard of back then lol
Where there’s smoke there’s fire though tbh, I’m a Wayne stan but there was too much talk of him getting helped at that time to discount it. There wasn’t f***ing leaked.com back then
