I like both Drake and Gambino... I just enjoy rap, and listen to people whom I can enjoy. I don't really focus in on who's good or not, if I did I probably wouldn't listen to Mac Miller as much as I have. But I enjoy both Drake and Gambino, so it's not like it's a big deal.

There is indisputable evidence that Drake is better than Childish Gambino.

More number 1 songs than any other hip hop artist.


Camp - 69 metacritic score
Take Care - 78 metacritic score

Camp - 160,000 in sales in the USA
Take Care - 2 million in sales.

or when comparing Camp with Drakes first commercial release, So Far Gone Ep has sold 639,000 units.

So not only is he more successful in the popularity section, he is also more successful in the critical realm.

In the law world, this is indisputable evidence.

Thank you, Lawyer JT.

So he's more successful in terms of commercial success. Oh I see. Chinese Democracy went platinum and has pretty good commercial success despite being an absolute pile of shit aside from when Buckethead is on the track, And judging by MetaCritic Channel Orange is a better album than GKMC, Meaning Frank Ocean is better commercially and popularity wise than Kendrick Lamar.

Also number one hits means nothing, Considering Gentleman by PSY is number 5 currently on the hot 100 and peaked at #2. All that means is people listen to stupid shit

I'd like to see your review of Camp to be quite honest. I don't think you've even listened to it.


- Maxy - 04-30-2013

Oh and JayTee. Lil Wayne has the most entries into the top 100 charts. With 109. Yeah. 109. Most of them post Carter II. Chart spot means nothing

Thank you for admitting it. Critical Acclaim defines how good an artist is. Frank Ocean is more popular and critically successful yet it is funny you compare two separate genres.


Not a good lawyer tbh.

I never said commercial success is the end all be all. I said Drake is BOTH critically and commercially more successful, which covers all the bases for what makes one better.

Try assessing my argument in terms of the whole picture.

I did. I listened to it a few weeks back. I didn't have any comments since I only rated it, but here ya go, tough guy:

Outside: 3.5/5
Fire Fly: 3/5
Bonfire: 3/5
All the Shine: 4/5
Heartbeat: 4.25/5
Backpackers: 3.25/5
L.E.S.: 3.25/5
Hold You Down: 4/5
Kids (Keep Up): 4/5
You See Me: 3.75/5
Sunrise: 3.5/5
That Power: 3.75/5

3.6/5

There were some tracks I liked, but overall, it wasn't overly exhilirating.

For comparison, here's my take on Drake's debut Thank Me Later:

Fireworks (ft. Alicia Keys): 4/5
Karaoke: 3.5/5
The Resistance: 4/5
Over: 3.25/5
Show Me a Good Time: 3/5
Up All Night (ft. Nicki Minaj): 3.75/5
Fancy (ft. T.I. & Swizz Beatz): 3.25/5
Shut It Down (ft. The-Dream): 3.75/5
Unforgettable (ft. Young Jeezy): 4/5
Light Up (ft. Jay-Z): 4/5
Miss Me (ft. Lil Wayne): 3.5/5
Cece's Interlude: 3.75/5
Find Your Love: 4.25/5
Thank Me Now: 3.75/5

3.7/5

Not overly different. As you can see, I'm not a huge fan of either.
