    pluto✰ where the opioids?

    here's the way I see it

    eminem is very very lucky his first three albums were so good because he is 100% incapable of making music like that again. but just off the strength of those first albums, he's still somewhat respected

    the situation with kanye is exactly the same except it extends past 3 albums, pretty much straight up to Yeezus. no matter what kanye does at this point, he's virtually untouchable

    drake has been hit or (slight) miss throughout his whole career imo so other than take care, it's not like he's built up a huge repertoire to fall back on when s--- hits the fan. he doesn't have what eminem or kanye has, that's why his future from here on out is SO important

    I think he's in a very comfortable place musically rn though. very strategic, thinks quickly on his feet and cranks out diss tracks like back to back with ease in just days. he possesses the skill to tack on more classics, something the two former artists I'm afraid cant quite do anymore

    dont s---t me tho, obviously we know almost nothing about Ye..just a hunch

    it doesn't hurt his legacy because drake fans don't care about rap legacies

    I don't see what the issue is when A ) Quentin Miller was credited and B ) a lot of rappers collaborate with each other

    You'd be naive to think an artist writes 100% of their raps.

    I mean.... considering he's credited his supposed "ghost writer" no, I don't think Q. Miller will affect anything. What Drake does is no different from what Kanye does. He collabs with other artists/song writers. This happens in the music industry all the time.

    This isn't really fair though. Kanye is just as much of a rap artist in 2015 as Drake is. This isn't 2004/2005 anymore lol Kanye isn't some producer who's trying out rapping lol

    That might be true but I doubt it'll have anything to do with the whole Q. Miller situation.

    Don't think it has affected him that much. He's still the hottest commodity on the scene aside from Future.
