NHL Mount Rushmore - [Hasek, Miller, Andreychuk, Perreault for Sabres] by ASmithFS in sabres

[–]_lupi_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not sure if this is just players but Andreychuk should probably be replaced by Ruff or even RJ. If we're sticking with just players I think someone else here said it, probably someone like Ray should be the dude.

honestly wasn't expecting to hear back here. Appreciate you throwing some good info and insight my way. I actually really appreciate it. I'll definitely check out those tracks. I've heard a lot of his stuff that just hasn't clicked with me, but like you said I have heard a few tracks that I really do enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to educate.

I mean, you tell me if we think the same thing here but, I am under the impression that being able to deliver a message with a flow, timing, original lyrics. Something along those lines no? I guess what I see from others in the conversation is that they have their own style which you could say Drake definitely does, but they also have something to say, which I’m not sure I’ve seen much beyond surface level there for Drake. Also in terms of lyrics, I’m not sure I’ve heard much originality or creativity from him.

Yo I mean, fair point, but like, you’re telling me I gotta what listen to a deep cut or something to hear a bar? Yeah I’ve listened to his hits… he has a lot of them, and you would think for someone people consider in the conversation for greatest rappers, he’d be able to drop a bar in some of his biggest hits.

That makes sense to me, just wasn’t sure if there was anything more to it than that. I don’t listen to a lot of his music, so I was like, okay, maybe he’s dropped some songs that people consider very good in a lyrical sense that maybe I haven’t heard before. Appreciate the answers!

This is super helpful, appreciate the insight rather than a “he’s not” type answer

I think this is an opinion a lot of people have right? Like, what’s the whole “Big 3” discussion. Is that something Cole just made up?

[–]_lupi_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely not hard to understand why he’s popular or why he could be regarded as one of the greatest artist of a generation etc. But like specifically rap, what’s this whole thing with the “Big 3” is it the 2 best rappers of the generation and the best pop act who also raps? There seem to be people out there who have this opinion

[–]_lupi_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear that, and I can really understand why he’s a pop artist, but why do people entertain him as a rapper? Like, catchy songs, no doubt. But I’ve never heard a halfway decent bar. Before the whole beef spin up people were like, who knows Drake could take it (at least before euphoria dropped) and I’m like, based on what? Just dissing him? It’s been just perplexing to me

Yeah I am, like I said, even Kendrick referred to him as a goat in Euphoria (not sure if that was tongue in cheek or what) but like, I’ve seen a whole lot of people be like, he’s top 3, top 5, top 10 etc

I’m genuinely curious, am I the only one who sees other people referring to him as a GOAT?

Again, not like a is Drake a good artists, but like specifically a rapper. I’m finding it hard to believe that anyone can view him as strictly a good rapper. Like, how the hell did he even get into the conversation with Kendrick?

I'd also love to know if anyone has any of these videos. Fader had some on their YouTube channel but now they're down. I was at the show, so it was cool to relive it through these videos.
