can't fully put this stuff into context because all the variables are different. time, media, styles will play into how this is viewed. and old heads just don't tend to ride for drake. not saying we should. it aint our time.

with that said, he's like surpassed LL from a status standpoint. As much as Cool J is revered, he doesn't even make the top 10 of some heads. with that said, his career is/was a monster. he was a superstar from hip-hop.

drake is also a superstar, but on a much larger scale. doesn't matter if you think he's better musically.
