Mixtapes are nothing but the new demo tape and that's what gets people on, I 100% agree with that. It can no doubt start careers. But to say that it's something that qualifies as a debut or even classic for that matter, no way. It's like saying this day in age there's such thing as a remix. The last true remix I heard was the "Moon and the Sky" remix. The beat was completely different and they added another artist to it. Just solely adding more rappers to an already popular song does not make it a remix. And putting yourself out trying to get a deal is not an album. Because last I checked J. Cole still don't have an album but has about a million songs.

I mean, do you guys understand all of the MCs Drake would have to "surpass" that don't even generally get mentioned on people's Top 10 lists? Artists like Redman, Common, Black Thought, LL Cool J, Q-Tip, Ghostface, Andre 3000, DMX, Snoop, Big L, Jadakiss, Eightball, Fabolous, Big Pun, Missy Elliott, Ludacris, Cam'Ron, Bun B, Guru, Raekwon, AZ, Kurupt, Cee-Lo, Beanie Sigel, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, DJ Quik, GZA, Juvenile, Lil' Fame, Busta Rhymes, Prodigy, etc.
Not to mention he'll have to beat out his contemporaries, including Kanye West, Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross, The Game, TI, Pusha-T, and Jeezy, all of whom I would take over Drake right now and three of whom will almost certainly end up "ranked" higher than Drake when all is said and done.
Finally, he would have to knock someone who's a "regular" in Top 10 lists out of their position. MCs like BIG, Tupac, Nas, Jay, Rakim, KRS-One, Kane, G Rap, Slick Rick, Eminem, Ice Cube, Chuck D, Scarface, etc.
IT'S NOT HAPPENING. PERIOD.
People are certainly entitled to their opinions and all but Drake will NEVER be generally considered a Top 10 DOA rapper. Ever.
speak for yourself bro thats my $%%!. as far as this topic goes drakes corniness automatically disqualifies him
Problem is that most of us who have listened to Hip Hop for years don't even think it's debatable. We think it's laughable...Originally Posted by KayCurrency

He's better than A LOT of those dudes you mentioned already. He just hasn't been in the game for nearly as long and doesn't have the album count and accolades that these people have..
Name another Rapper/Artist who's had THIS much buzz and was even CONSIDERED by ANYONE top 10-20 off their FIRST LP......Besides maybe Em'
He has ONLY ONE bar coded album under his belt...and we're debating about this...
