hiphop Drake

[Mame Biram Diouf]

of course not.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

It not about how many tapes or albums you put out

Its firstly the quality of the music and secondly what it brings to the rap game

Biggie is a legend of two albums a few features

Drake has probably about 10 tapes, they may be consistent but they aren't ready to die or life after death or Infamous

You can't be a legend without classics imo, and Drake doesn't have any classic albums

Very good music, of course, classics no

Maybe we have different views on what makes someone a legend

Biggie, Nas, Pac, Jay, Rakim, Raekwon, Pun, 50, Dre, Cube etc these are rap legends, to put Drake and Nicki Minaj on that list is very disrespectful to them and rap

If we are talking football, who is Drake comparable to?

What recent classic albums have there been?

[Mame Biram Diouf]

None since The Documentary

Good Kid Mad City is in contention to be one though

However it does need to stand the test of time, but it has the potential to imo be cemented as a classic

Other than that off my head nothing else

[Frank White]

drake is iniesta

[Kuffir]

Putting out very good, consistent music in a weak era doesn't give you legend status

 

fam

 

if drake is a legend then that tells you all you need to know about the levels of the game in the modern era

 

push his career back five years and i dunno what he's saying, side dish/hipster fetish or bossing the game as the guy yeezy and wayne are biting

to say no classics have come out since the documentary is ludicrous though its been ten years or suttin

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Legend of his era

Henry maybe

Won't be remembered amongst the Messi, Cryuff, Maradona etc

But one of the best of his generation and a legend to some

The records keep coming for Drake, who matches the Beatles' feat first set 51 years ago.

Thanks to his surprise album If You're Reading This It's Too Late, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Feb. 28) with 535,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music, Drake has tied a record that stood unmatched for 51 years: He charts 14 songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 7). The sum equals the 14 titles that the Beatles placed on the Hot 100 dated April 11, 1964.

The history-tying achievement is the latest chart honor for Drake via the new set. In addition to the release's No. 1 bow (it dips to No. 2 on the March 7-dated Billboard 200, down by 65 percent to 187,000), he became the first rapper to top the Billboard Artist 100 chart (which he rules for a second week). Drake also boasts a new-record 21 titles on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, including all 17 tracks from Late.

With Drake (now up to 85 career Hot 100 entries, the fifth-best sum all-time) and the Beatles now side-by-side in Hot 100 history, here's a look at each act's 14 songs that have placed them above all others. In one notable difference, Drake is the lead act on 10 titles and featured on four others; the Beatles were leads (in an era largely devoid of featured billings) on all 14 of their simultaneous chart hits. (The Beatles additionally held half the top 10 on April 11; Drake's highest-charted hit this week ranks at No. 16.)

(The Beatles' Paul McCartney, of course, is currently continuing to add to his legacy: His "FourFiveSeconds," with Rihanna and Kanye West, ranks at No. 6 on the Hot 100 after rising to No. 4 last week.)

Drake's 14 simultaneous Hot 100 Hits (March 7, 2015)

No. 16, "Only," Nicki Minaj featuring Drake, Lil Wayne & Chris Brown

No. 17, "Truffle Butter," Minaj featuring Drake & Lil Wayne

No. 26, "Energy"

No. 49, "Tuesday," ILoveMakonnen featuring Drake

No. 52, "Legend"

No. 58, "10 Bands"

No. 68, "Blessings," Big Sean featuring Drake

No. 70, "Know Yourself" (debut)

No. 81, "No Tellin' " (debut)

No. 82, "Preach," featuring PartyNextDoor

No. 83, "6 God" (debut)

No. 84, "Used To," featuring Lil Wayne

No. 95, "Now & Forever" (debut)

No. 97, "6 Man" (debut)

These records are meaningless now with the ability to download individual tracks from an album. 

[dub]

they're not meaningless, they just mean something different to what they did 10+ years ago

[underwriter]

see all these numbers are confusing me

 

people can download albums/mixtapes/singles from pirate sites

 

so obviously these numbers come from credible sites to compile these lists?

 

so platinum is what... 500,000 units? so @ 99p for example is $495,000 ?

 

so clearly these guys are making all the money from tours and endorsements if im not mistaken

[Yoshie]

The album isn't 99p.

[TF S4DK]

Platinum is 1 million in the USA for singles or albums.

[Supermalt]

 

50 cent had the crown once he aint no legend g
