    by who? i would venture to guess that a plurality of people in america who call themselves "rap fans" would list drake as the hottest rapper out right now

    I was speaking in future tense "Drake will be in", not right now but in the grand scheme of things.

    you're still full of s---, though. the vast majority of people consider drake a serious emcee, however we feel about him in our dusty corner of the internet. in terms of all-time recognition and importance, drake is not and never will be held in the same esteem as kanye.

    The dusty corner of the internet crosses over though, most views I see are recognised on media platforms to some extent, and this is hardly Canibus-central forums ffs.

    Some mention about I flopping which it did. But don't forget The Recipe was the 1st single from GKMC & it flopped too. I'm sure Kendrick will get at leas gett an Urban hit because if he releases any sort of radio friendly single it will do good.
    I don't see anyone with the potential to surpass Kendrick. Drake seems to be on the decline becasuse the 6 God EP was terrible & NWTS wasn't as good as Take Care. I might not have have really connected with everyone but Multiply sounded incredible.

    Wouldn't agree I was a safe song. The production is alot different to nearly every song on Urban/Rythmic radio.

    If they built up Jon Connor. And had Kendrick/Jon like the new Eminem/50. Buuuut interscope ain't that smart and Jon will sadly sit on the shelf.

    Regardless of how "i" did commercially, the focus I see in Kendrick during his recent performances has all but solidified my hopes for an album even better than GKMC

    No one is going to surpass his ability to make boring music. He has got that s--- on lock.

    This dude is the leader of the new school. He's pushing the genre forward like kanye did. He won't be surpassed unless his album is trash, and kendrick dropping a trash project is almost impossible at this point. The attention to detail kendrick puts in his raps is unmatched right now. Also I think "I" flopped, it got a lot of push from the label but didn't really connect anywhere and take off. Classic number 3 is incoming though. :khaled2:

    Who do you have in your top-5 currently? Would J.Cole be the #2?

    The Recipe is something that Dre should have released as a single, great westcoast 'Dre' vibe. Verses are not that great but still, I love it.
