    il agree take care was a classic, but what has he backed it up with, a slightly above average album, and then a pretty decent mixtape/album
    i get he is a great artist, he just never lives up to hype for me

    and as for kanye i dont expect him to write all of his rhymes because hes a producer first, rapper second, so i dont mind his lyrics not being 100% his if he does the majority of the production

    I find his albums incredibly lackluster tbh. I think he's a great feature artist but he's albums really do nothing for me. I agree there'd be about 3 or 4 tracks I'd maybe play again.

    id say he knows how to write a hit, but i think a more accurate statement would be his team knows how to write a hit, but he dosent have skill like them i agree

    It frustrates me because he seriously murders some features but I've never really seen him transcend whatever it is I like about those features into an album. I've got all his albums and I really don't think I've ever played any of them more than once straight through. They just don't engage me.

    f---, Drake is one of my favs OAT but I don't think he could beat Crooked in a rap battle. Yeah if Drake takes his time he could come up with some crazy bars but Crook got them straight up grimy bars :hard:

    And to answer OP, no. I don't think Drake is overrated. I've loved all his albums and he's an amazing writer. Up until like 2 months ago people weren't even talking about him and Drake SXN was dead :emoji_slight_frown:

    Glad Papi back on his grind

    i think he hypes himself up to be a rapper, and part of rapping is holding your own against someone else

    im just sayin if hes a producer/rapper id give him a pass, but he dosent do jack shitt in the producing side, all he has to do is write and spit bars..

    and people are suprised with my opinion that he is overhyped when he dosent even live up to the writing side of rap, like thats part of rap.

    if you guys dont even understand where i'm coming from then i dno

    obviously people are gonna say yes and no so thats fine, its cool you can understand where im coming from though

    I think people do tend to overhype him on this forum, but I don't think he's overrated.
    He's a good artist who's capable of making good music.

    i just think hip hop is based on respect, and your level of respect decreases when the ghostwriting stories come out
    it would happen the same with any artist, but cause its drake people look the other way

    but forreal. ik crooked I can battle and i kinda misread the question a bit. drake is miles ahead of him in rapping but i honestly dont know if drake would k--- him in a battle because i've never heard drake battle rap. i have a feeling he'd be good at it tho cuz he's typically involved in a lot of the big battle leagues or whatever the f--- they're called.

    what a dumb OP lol, drake would most likely beat all 3 of the names u listed in an actual battle

    i thought this thread would be about him as an artist smh
