Bottomline,

Started from the Bottom is one of the biggest contenders at a Rap Classic this decade.
Drake will be one of the biggest Rappers ever.

Kendrick Lamar was a fad, and won't be one of the biggest rappers ever.
Super Bass won't be a classic.

Usher is a timeless legend.
Miguel (not ATRL member) is a gay fad.

Cases solved.

SFTB is nothing but a meme (I say this as a Drake fan).

Drake will be iconic and a symbol of hip-hop in 10s because of his success and longevity, but he won't have enough universal respect to be a rap legend. Many people view him as a joke. You won't see people making a joke out of someone like Eminem, 2pac or Biggie.

Kendrick Lamar will be a rap legend if he continues on his track, and will be the most respected/loved rapper of the 10s at this rate.

Super Bass may or may not end up being a classic, but it certainly has potential to. It's not totally outlandish to say it could be.

Usher is an icon but not a legend.

Miguel is just there, but I love some of his music. He's underrated. Coffee's one of my favorites this year.

The thing is, Miguel is an ARTIST. He didn't have a hit single anywhere and STILL released his album. Usher is serving R8 realness. He's no legend. Legends release their music whether or not its forecast to be a success. Prince is a legend. Usher is not.

2014/2015 has been a great year for rap coming back into the Top 10/high up on the charts in general. I feel a classic is most likely to come during this current time period. The rap hits just keep coming rapid fire.

Miguel won't even have a 4th album at this rate, let alone an 8th with a Platinum single + World Tour sir.

smalsd;s other artists who probably won't have a 4th album:
B.O.B. and Kendrick.

Cap10 always loses the worst.

Usher cares too much about commercial success even at this point in his career when he really doesn't have to.

[Cap10Planet]

Guess who still released their albums despite not meeting mainstream success. Kendrick and B.o.B.

Usher, the ball is on your court.

He didn't even shoot a music video for his last single, promote it, or even acknowledge it despite it being an ACTUAL hit while his other singles flopped and you're saying 'he cares too much about success even at this point'.

[NewRihannaStan]

Drake is already a legend of his generation. Drake gets some flack but he is still respected heavily and especially after he ruined Meek Mill

He does. Why else wouldn't he release his album? He knows it would have probably bombed harder than Elusive Chanteuse. He is SCARED. Let's get real here.

[NewRihannaStan]

I Don't Mind was an urban hit and top 20 single !

[MusicTalker]

Dudes at uni look down on Drake a lot. The frat dudes will play Kanye, Kendrick, Chance, Fetty, and Eminem freely but rarely Drake.

Drake will play at big events where everyone is but forget it if frat guys are making the playlist or if it's a smaller party, pretty much.

[FAME.]

Drake is interesting. He is like both respected and clowned equally. It's weird. The thing really keeping him pressing is the fact that he's so corny and white people friendly. He is "urban" but still white enough for the white people.

He's not afraid to release anything. He said months ago, he stopped working on it.

You are miseducated and think he's still working on it. If he cared about success, he would've finished and released it while IDM was a hit, instead of doing nothing while it was a hit.

He released Looking 4 Myself while Climax, was a lower charting hit. 'Papers' (the lead single of RVR) also didn't even go Top 25, and he still released the album under it. So you literally have no logic. Why would he be afraid to release the album under a single that was bigger then the single L4M & RVR were released under?

It was a Mainstream hit, don't downgrade it honry.

[NewRihannaStan]

Kendrick is cool . He isn't as popular than Drake though ..

Take Care is still the best rap album of the 10's

[Cap10Planet]

I think Drake is a meme joke, but he is no Iggy Azelea. He has respect. Coming from a Canadian teen soap opera (lol) and becoming the biggest and one of the most acclaimed rap act of his generation should speak a little to his respect. However, he's not considered of the best emcees not even by a little and he has no classics. "Best I Ever Had" is like his biggest hit, and it's completely forgotten.

[NewRihannaStan]

Best I Ever Had was never his biggest hit

The worst thing about Usher nowadays is that there's nothing worth discussing. His songs from 2014 were pretty decent, and a L4M was a really nice album, but there's just nothing to keep people super interested. Not sure what he should, or even can, do to fix that. New Flame was a step in the right direction.

He can still get the hits here and there, like he just did with I Don't Mind, but in the end did it actually matter? Then you consider even his Top 10s this decade no longer have any presence, even worse
