Here comes the ego, drake doesnt know what he talking about.
PM Dawn was rappin and singing.

he's right if you think about the context of having literally R & B quality songs on an album. This guy wrote records for alicia keys and jamie foxx, i cant think of any artist that has done it to that degree

like he said "a lot of artist have incorporated melody" but drake not only established himself as a good r & B songwriter, but also launch off the style of cats like The Weeknd

Singing with autotune and pitch correction isn't singing!

He's never heard of Lauren Hill then. Because I swear she used to rap and sing and was very, very successful with it before she disappeared.

^^^Lauryn and Wyclef above all. Ja Rule and Nelly were very influential as well. Queen Latifah? Missy Elliot? Kanye? T-Pain? Even Wayne unless I'm f**kin up the timeline(Lollipop was before Drake, right?)We'll be here forever naming reason's why he's wrong.

I get what he was trying to say, but no.
