exactly ^ and thats what this thread is about. As a rapper he's no where near top 10....
Drake is Drake though man...hes a different artist than a lot of rappers so whats the point of 'Top 10 DOA?'

"More money more problems" only holds true for idiots.
.....Oh and I bet dollars to doughnuts Drake definitely will be on one of the "Now" CDs if not "Kids Bop". I mean even Outkast has been on Kids Bop
And the award for the most non factual claims made in this thread go to you sir, so now most Drake fan's are rich kids driving around in daddy's car huh?

Just randomly turned on the radio and listened to Marvin's Room for the first time...there were many pages back where "simp song" vs "honest song" came up, and
that should not have went on that long. This was an awfully mediocre song to have been discussesd like that. Drake can sing here and there, but this wasn't one
of those times. Not sure what you would even call that. Plus, the beat (while fitting the mood of the song) sounded like it was made on some 1995 Casio machine.
This thread should've been locked after 5 pages.

They're for adults? B-Legit fell off hard after 90s, Andre Nickatina is basically pop in the bay area, and Tech N9ne... Come on now. Aside from Rakim, Wu-Tang. and Big L, you're list isn't even respectable. Step your game up, off the top of my head; Tupac, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Jay Electronica, Nas, AZ, Gang Starr, Binary Star, Lone Catalysts, Specifics, ShinSight Trio, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Blu, B.I.G., Big Pun, etc. I could name more, but you should get the point...
Point, what point. All you did was add a bunch of names to my list.
I clearly stated "too many to list" and "& many more".
Sorry I didnt "step my game up" dude
Tech, Niki, and Beela are kids stuff???
...not
...gonna...
...work
freal tho, that has to be "the most non factual claim made in this thread" lolz

I cant believe this thread is still alive, so let me make one last point.
This whole Top 10 DOA thing.....let's think about the reality of that situation. I live and breathe music. Like for real. It puts food on my table.
It's one of the things I've known and loved most in my life which is why I chose to make it my career.
When you're with the music long enough, you see certain things.
Obviously none of us know if Drake will be Top 10 DOA. I've made it clear I strongly doubt it. Here's why on another note.
People tend to prisoners of the moment in music. And you guys are taking MAINSTREAM greatness for musical greatness.
Is Britney a Top 10 DOA Pop star because she's all over the Radio now? Is Katy Perry? Christina? Or is it JUST Madonna?
Were the Jackson 5 Top 10 DOA R+B groups? Was Jodeci? Is it New Edition? Or Earth, Wind + Fire?
Was it New Kids? Was it Backstreet? Was it N'Sync? Or just The Beatles?
Think about how BIG all those artists were at their time. Back then people were saying all those groups were, like, the best EVAR!
Sadly, I think Drake will fall into that category. Great music for the moment. TIMELESS? Doubtful.
And think about how much anyone talks about them now. Very few of them remain LEGENDS, and/or GREATS.
I think Jay, Nas, Kanye, Em will be in that category. I think MC's like Rakim and Chuck D will be on that list forever.
As of now, none of his music is TIMELESS. Ultimately, it's all pretty disposable.

So instead of naming the artists on my list that you agree with, who are probably better suited here than most you listed, you're gonna cover them with "too many to list & many more?" What kind of backwards logic is that? Yeah, if Drake is pop then B-Legit, Andre Nickatina, and Tech N9ne are right there with him just not as mainstream. I'm not saying they rap about the same subject matter, but they definitely cater to a younger crowd.

Pretty much all of that. Drake looks like he's gonna go down as a top 10 DOA because in the current mainstream rap climate, nobody is really out there. He's
taking full advantage of that too, so can't fault him for that.

Well let me correct myself, nobody along the same lines as Drake who he is in direct competition with. Jay, Em, and Kanye are already set. They can literally drop anything (which they have) and
people will automatically buy it. As far as success, buzz, and popularity, would you really put Lupe on the same level as Drake? Drake is really competing against himself, Wayne, and Nicki Minaj. He's not
really even competing with Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Wale, nor J.Cole either. B.o.B? Not really sure. Basically, Drake appears to be a big fish in a small watered down pond.

Just remember, at one point Young Buck and Kanye West were both in Drakes position, and look at how different their careers turned out to be...

Bopping my head to versus ruining my reputation and littering the music forum with a ridiculous Drake Top 10 DOA thread is two different things champ, nice try though.

You think I ruined my reputation because of this thread?...
I can care less about what anyone thinks of my opinion or my reputation in this Music forum, which is why my opinion hasn't changed since I started this thread 490+ posts ago. You label the man a simp based of a song that really doesn't have anything to do with simping... Yet I bet son has had/accepted more FREE vagina thrown at him this year than you (or any other person who's posted in this thread) had in a lifetime...I'm not one to count another mans bed-notches, Just stating facts...but thats a whole different thread that doesn't need to be started.

Drake is clearly the most polarizing artist out in the rap community it seems.
Its funny though because people debate his origins, credibility, and his content...and yet he is still winning.
Maybe its the game that needs to be changed and not the players.

What does Drake getting butt have to do w. anything? That fat $!#*, LV from Gangsta's Paradise probably had women throwing themselves at him as well...
Anyways, for the OP....who do you see Drake overtaking in that top-10? Lyrically is he better than guys like Rakim, Jay, Nas, Big, etc? He makes catchy songs...songs a few dudes can relate to on an "emotional" level. However, that does not make him to be one on the track to be one of the best in hip-hop history. The Britney comparison was on point....
