as a casual Drake listener, i agree with a lot of this really. I can't take him that seriously as some kind of GOAT rapper just because he sells more than others, and especially because he rides other ppl's waves. Last time i checked, the quality of someone's work determines how great they are, not just how popular they are.
MC Hammer was basically Drake before Drake, but no one ever confused him for being greater than acts like LL Cool J or Wu Tang. Considering how badly Drake got bodied by Common and sonned by Luda, he's pretty freaking far from being a GOAT rapper...especially with an album like Views that didn't live up to the hype beasting.
