lmao, seriously? you want to compare the notoriety of "drake" to michael jackson?

just...wow.

"garbage music" yet he broke records held by the beatles and madonna lol. it's ok to have an opinion but the facts are all in the numbers. in terms of fame there aren't and haven't really been many artists bigger than him in recent years. bieber is probably the only one that comes to mind and he got burned out like 5 years in. the only problem is the older generations will never accept rap as a legitimate genre of music

"As of 2017, based on both sales claims and certified units, the Beatles are considered the highest-selling band. Elvis Presley is considered the highest-selling individual artist based on sales claims and Drake is the highest-selling individual artist based on certified units"

sorry, call me an old man (i'm 39) if you want, but all this shows is that the tastes of the up and coming generations is hogwash. music, in general, is garbage nowadays, that much should be pretty obvious to anyone above the age of 30.

I'm not sure you know what notoriety means, or what "" are for.

I agree it likely wasn't gifted by Rolex for show.

But Drake is still a drop in the pond compared to many rappers. Kanye is worth 1.8bn. Jay Z about $1.4bn.

Kanye West was on the brink of bankruptcy and he has had so many embarrassing meltdowns, and he has mental problems, which is fine, but he is in denial about those mental problems.

You don't necessarily measure his success and impact on the music industry on earnings alone.

Having said that, I don't deny the musical genius of Jay z or Kanye

I really have no opinion on Drake but he seems like a cool cat.

But I do want to say I don’t see any stickers.

I’d end by saying the bubble tea White Russians are a-OK.
