The best musicians can play an instrument.

Pretty sure drake can't do that on any meaningful level.

Drake also can't sing beyond an incredibly mediocre level. So how does that matter?

And despite that, still manages to have the most recognizable and marketable voice in music for the past 15 years.

Huh. But you're right, he's probably just an amateur at what he does.

I can think of one. Insert your two favorite musicians

That's fine.

I'll choose the boring guy over the underage groomer any day.

I didnt call him an amateur. Calm down.

Calling him one of the greatest musicians of any era is even more ridiculous than calling him an amateur would be though.

Sales and billboard success have absolutely nothing to do with talent as a musician my guy.

Unless you're about to tell me celine dion and Shania were two of the greatest artists in the history of all time thats just a silly argument.

I didn't ask for that surface level commentary. That was a reply to your assertion that on a spectrum of amateur to greatest of this generation, Drake would fall closer to the amateur side.

You know what does have something to do with talent as a musician.

Making consecutive hit songs for your entire career.

No, Taylor Swift holds that title.

Drake didn't 'make' any songs, he uses ghost writers and everyone knows it. He doesn't write any music, he just sings what other people make. He's purely a performer

He DOES have a good eye for talent though. Dude has discovered an impressive number of people, biggest being The Weeknd

He has the most top 10 hits.

He doesn't have the most number ones.

Number 1 >>>>>>> top ten.

Post Google edit - he isn't even top 10 in number one hits.

In terms of Top 10 hits on the Hot 100 chart, Drake has 42 to The Beatles' 34. But again, Drake is listed as the main artist on only 26 of these hits, meaning that he only has a feature on 16 of the 42 Top 10 hits in his repertoire.Oct 23, 2020

My b I thought you were talking number ones, which is the traditional metric. However as above that's only due to features on other's records; if we're counting features then we count the Beatles solo efforts in combo with their own, meaning Paul McCartney is number 1 and still has the most number 1 hits, and Taylor Swift has more top ten hits as well with 29. And Elvis beats that as well

Also J Cole >>>>> Drake

That's not even in question, J Cole can write, Drake doesn't. Calling Drake a musician is sort of silly
