Drake

Drake
This isn’t really a question. There is a reason Drake is the Man of the Year. Like I stated, you can’t escape dude’s shadow. He’s definitely following the template laid out by HIS big brother, Weezy. Add to the musical accomplishments, he’s currently leading the new brand redesign for NBA’s Toronto Raptors. Sounds like another repeat Rapper of the Year winner and legend in the game. How do we give him the nod over KDot….well, they seem to have done the same thing. They both have a lot of features, they both have appearances and are in demand. Where Kendrick has some hot guest verses, Drake dropped yet another platinum album. He parried the #DrakeBeLike attacks on some Jedi mind trick of playing along and having fun with it. Drake just happened to have a better year in our opinion…album being the breaker. – Saule Wright
