comparing pitbull & florida to drake
Straight clowning now
How?
They're all rappers who make pop music. They're just marketed differently but in reality they're very similar.
Kendrick Lamar IS The GREATEST Rapper Of All Time (Vol. Hear Me Out. LOOOONG read)

How am I hating?
I didn't say he makes bad music I said he isn't apart of the culture.
Just like I don't hate Chris Brown, but I'll be damned if you say he's one of the greatest R%B singers. No, he's a pop artist.

A rapper has to speak about social issues to be aligned with the culture
Is it drakes job to be a politician or make ppl feel good with his music
How did I miss this.
Actually, yes, speaking about social issues and being conscious about what's going on DOES make you more in tune with hip hop culture. It's what it was built on, bruh. If you'd actually read what was written, it's right there, plain as day.
Again, Drake is a great artist, but he stays in his lane. There's no comparison with guns and Kendrick, it's apples and oranges.

Drake is a pop rapper, but I don't understand how that somehow makes him a "bad" rapper or not one of the top rappers currently out

Dude...no.
There are artists who've sold a hell of a lot more than both these dudes and they aren't considered pop artists.
Again, there's a reason why Pitbull gets categorized as a best selling pop artist and not a best selling rapper.

it was also built on party music and moving a crowd yet when that's a artist lane there music gets discreditedBut that's what hip hop was built on.

I'm convinced 90% did not bother to read the op post, just read the titles and replies and started going in.

Drake isn't a bad rapper but he's not a lyricist. His content is as limited as it gets. He's only four or five albums in and he's easily run out of **** to say. Everything is the same.
His last album is closer to Future than Kendrick
I don't understand why Drake fans get so mad. Is calling his music pop insulting? Does that make him a soft rapper? The guy sings and cries to men and women on records, I don't see the problem with calling him a pop star.
Like my man said, Pitbull was a gritty rapper. He's not considered a rapper.

I think he does have his fair share of lyricism, it's just ridiculously overshadowed by his limited *** content. It's either:
Whining about or gassing up some stripper
How rich and successful he is
But Drake definitely has rap skills. And just because his last album was very Future-ish doesn't mean it's not a fantastic record
EDIT: And nobody in this thread is mad about anything. Why do dudes always accuse other people of "being mad" when they hold differing views in a music debate?

Because if I was putting a random person onto current rap music, Drake would be one of the last recommendations. The guy has average bars, melodic hooks and 40 makes incredible beats. Drake is selling but I look at more than sales when it comes to who is running rap.

Unlike you; I witnessed N.W.A and the only people who were hating on them were old White people. They were completely embraced by the culture.Yall love taking it to the extreme
When nwa was running the game they were getting hate for their content, what social issues were they speaking on?

Kendrick named Drake in "Control" for a reason.
And hundreds of other B-list rappers made responses because of the sole fact that they were NOT named (except Eminem I guess)

Eminem is one of the top selling rap artists of all time.... Don't see you guys mentioning him.
Why does everything always go back to album sales when that has nothing at all to do with the quality of the product.
It's like in the Drake thread, the only argument anyone can make is that he's more popular and sells more. The ONLY one.
Do you even know the definition of the word "Legend?"
Just because dude has a song called Legend doesn't make him a Legend lol.

Drake is a legend?!?!? ****, come on now. Can't help but laugh. Zero classics, average verses, has stolen everyone's flow, isn't a great singer and has a dope *** producer. How in the mother**** is he a legend?
I like Take Care and half of NWTS. But a legend......
