Who is the better overall rap artist/MC.... Kanye or Drake?

[CeLLaR-DooR]

kanye doesnt write his ryhmes

so drake wins by default

Kanye fans would know this if THEY OWNED THE ALBUMS.. (linear notes people)

Can we not get into this again...

 

[c.b.b.]

This thread just made me realize how close Drake was to Kanye, in terms of subject matter, when he first came out.

If Drake had stuck to this style

I would have put him above Kanye, but now I'd say Kanye, and I can't stand either of them nowadays really..

True, the Comeback Season Drake would've been comparable to Ye.

This version of Drake with no substance/subject matter doesn't come close to Kanye IMO.

Drake's content is no where near as diverse as Ye and his music is shallow IMO

Kanye never had a great flow or delivery to begin with ... he always "held his own" via punchlines and content and his own ability to create a song via hook and beats. Add a lil outrageousness, zestiness, bragodaciousness and over confidence (said the same thing about 3 times) and you got Kanye. People hate Drake so much they can't give him credit as a rapper and use what he does on the R&b side against him

Kanye's catalogue >>>Drake but as a rapper...

Drake wins in flow

Drake wins presence
Drake wins in versatility (lol @ anyone who thinks Kanye is even remotely more diverse but can't back that shit up)
Kanye has a slight edge on metaphors/punchlines
Drake has better"truisms"
Kanye and Drae are tied in hooks depending on how you feel...

The only way Kanye's flow improved was when he stopped sounding like his jaw was locked together...

the truth will set you free.

 

[DarthRozay]

if you compared drakes best verse to kanye's best verse... drake would have the better verse

but if you're talkin catolog... kanye. easily.

this pretty much

 

[And_So_It_Burns]

neither of these two are technical rappers....Kanye's catalog>>>> most rappers. Overall his music is a lot better...better subject matter etc. Ive only been really impressed by a couple of drakes songs to be honest

Drake

[MysticBoy]

I'll say Yeezy.

Kanye

half of drakes career has been saved by a computer effect only 1/5th of yes career has been wasted on that

Drake aint got shit on college droupout or late registration

drakes biggest claim to fame is being a singer and rapper but hes just a rapper who cant sing live

kanye's bitch rants > drakes crybaby lyrics

kanyes self production that complement his rapping > drakes inability to produce ( part of being a better artists is producing your own shit)

And I’m from the murder capital, Where they murder for capital
Heard about at least 3 killings this afternoon
Lookin’ at the news like damn I was just with him after school,
No shop class but half the school got a tool,
And I could die any day type attitude
Plus his little brother got shot reppin’ his avenue
It’s time for us to stop and re-define black power
41 souls murdered in 50 hours

The paper read murder, Black on black murder,
The paper read murder, Black on black murder again
Murder again…

Is it genocide?
Cause I can still hear his momma cry, Know the family traumatized
Shots left holes in his face, Bout piranha-size
The old pastor closed the cold casket
And said the church ain’t got enough room for all the tombs
It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from
I feel the pain in my city wherever I go
314 soldiers died in Iraq
509 died in Chicago

-YEEZY
