#9-Drake
Drake gets so much unnecessary hate.
His debut mixtape might be one of the 3 biggest...hell, who are we kidding, his debut mixtape IS the biggest mixtape of the modern era. It got him chased by every major label, got him signed by the biggest rapper of the time, and was good they repacked it and people PAID for a free mixtape.
Then his debut album is one of the 10 best albums of the year and people STILL complain about the guy. I don't get it.
What makes Drake so good is his smooth flow. He's the SECOND best R&B slash Hip Hop combiner in Canada don't cha know! And while rap has always been extremely personal, Drake takes it a step further; his songs tell stories, letting you into the intimate details most rappers rarely let on. Does it hurt that he raps about double pump lattes and ****? Not at all.
This guy takes you through every single detail of his life: from his adoration of guys like Wayne and Jay-Z to the clothes he wears on flights. As with most rappers, Drake is confident enough to believe every intimate detail of his life is worth mentioning, but unlike most rappers, Drake's life is not only that much fun but he's self aware enough to recollect it with charismatic completion.
