^word, Rae probably ain't tryin to lose supporters or make enemies in the industry at this point in his career
not to say he ain't really feelin Drake, but he's just bein diplomatic here, stayin positive, which you can't really hate on, imo
and @ Pandemic & Hollow Dartz, if y'all would quit blowin each other long enough to go and peep the countless hybrids of musical styles throughout history, you might learn that Drake is nothing if not a pop-rapper. pop music is literally popular music, which I've never taken to mean any music that happens to become popular, but music that is tailor made to become popular. catering to what the masses want, in other words. even if the music he's doing is hiphop, it can be considered pop as well.

^Drake's profile on allmusic, the closest thing to a music review website that doesn't suck, says his primary style of music is "Pop Rap." I didn't even check before I started typing this, I just knew any unbiased music listener would agree. once again y'all are just bein contrary, nitpicking what OP's saying when you already know the point he's tryin to make. I don't even completely agree with OP, but I still understand what he's tryin to say.
'lol, he does rap music, he ain't pop' - but lady gaga technically does dance music, yet you don't hesitate to call her pop?
trying to classify an artist is gay anyway, like if Drake is pop you're not allowed to like his music? who fucking cares what ppl classify him as? if you like it, play it, if you don't, then don't. simple solution to your whole problem.
