In the year 2017, almost everyone is a Drake fan. His reputation has exponentially grown from rapper to worldwide pop star. One of the most significant points in his career and maybe the most impactful was his beef with Meek Mill, where he was accused of ghostwriting. Due to these accusations, there has been a question in the hip-hop community if Drake is really as good of a rapper as he claims.
That being said, here are seven times Drizzy proved that nobody should question his lyrical ability.
1. "Fear"
Drake raps about his humble Toronto beginnings and his rise to fame, as well as all of the complications that come with it.
2. "Say Whats Real"
A classic freestyle from Drake's breakthrough mixtape "So Far Gone" over a Kanye beat that will make anyone forget the original.
3. "5AM In Toronto"
Coming off of success from "Nothing From The Same," Drake shows up with bars fired at anyone who thinks they can compete with him.
4. "30 for 30 Freestyle"
A calm, conversational freestyle over a melodic piano, where Drake reflects after winning his rap beef (while at the pinnacle of his career.)
5. "Weston Road Flows"
One of the best tracks from the polarizing "Views" album. From the beat to the flow, Weston Road Flows is Drake at his best.
6. "Lord Knows"
From arguably his best album "Take Care," Drake paired up with Rick Ross to deliver what may be his best rap song with legendary Just Blaze production.
7. "Tuscan Leather"
The is the intro to "Nothing Was The Same," and after hearing this track, I knew this album was going to be serious. Drake rapped six minutes straight to start the album.
