You surely aren’t giving Drake credit for Griselda and Gibbs. Little Brother came before Drake...not to mention, I wouldn’t even name drop them as an act consistently putting out work. Lil Nas X is absolutely fucking terrible.

This is what I mean, people give credit for bullshit. Just because something is around or different does not mean it’s a positive.

I don’t necessarily disagree with this but it has absolutely ZERO to do with Drake and everything to do with the landscape and how music is consumed. I’m actually baffled at some of your response in the context of giving Drake credit.

None of these acts are that good. Sorry, they’re not. I’ll give you The Weeknd I guess. But none of those acts will go down as all-timers by any means. So what is your point?

It’s really not though. Everything sounds exactly the same. Back in the day we had distinct sounds. West Coast, East Coast, Down South...everyone had their own thing. If anything Drake and these new artists pushed an agenda to morph everything into these same lazy atmospheric beats with no grove, no funk, no vibe to them. For you to come on here and try to praise that as a plus says a lot about your knowledge in music man.

Again...the FUCK does this have to do with Drake?
