breaking and battle rapping aren't the only criteria. both are huge stars, but drake has grown bigger.

you're talking about how things were vs how they are now. stars aren't made the same way. things are faster and less grimy. the path for 80-90s legends was of that time. today, it's different.

hip hop legend vs pop star is semantics at this point. both are pop stars. LL can be seen a pioneer because of when he became popular. not sure if Drake has that under his belt.
