    This reads like they’re his love interests.

  3. Enzo says:

    Get em Drizzy

  4. Word!!! says:

    Now That’s A List People ……….

  5. Ultrakid says:

    I think the list should have gone like this
    Kanye>Andre>Lil Wayne>Jay-Z>Nas

    808′s anyone??? I guess I’m the only one who noticed the 808′s influence on Thank Me Later and So Far Gone.

  6. phil says:

    way to suck that dick till it’s dry, Drake.

  7. yerr says:

    def going to be ALOT of hate on this list. *stans* but you cant really get mad at this list. I respect this list and respect that drake came out n said it. every1 else is pussy to state their opinon.

  8. Sin says:

    I think we all knew that already

  9. flow J says:

    @Matt LMFAO!!!!!!!!

  10. Ac@pella! says:

    Well, we already knew who his top 5 were. That’s a given. He says it all the time….by tha way TML is close to being a classic in the future. Listen to how it sounds sonically…No, really, go ahead and listen…

  11. Ultrakid says:

    @Ac@pella!,
    It was a good album but I wouldn’t consider it a classic ever but I really wasn’t expecting a classic from Drake just good music. That’s what I got from Wale and B.o.B.

  12. reythehussein says:

    Too bad TML was average.

  13. Drizzle-Nutz says:

    TML is one of those album thats you can and have to listen to all the way through. Sure they have some chart friendly singles, but he def is in his own lane as far as a “sound” No one can deny that from drizzy

  14. seemoregan says:

    @Drake

    But you “Feeling Like 50″ because Kanye said “50 told me to switch the style up” because Jay said “50 came through like Hurricanes do”.

    All ya’ll haters/bloggers/artist try to forget that nigga 50 because he did exactly what he said. Got Rich and does what the f8ck he wants and says what the f8ck he feels. he don’t have to politic.

    Drake we know who you admire the most but the politics of the industry have advised you to not say so. Sha Money already said he sat with you and Nicki and 50 declined (which I know he hates) but lets be real nigga. And we also know that you jock Bun B harder than Nas.

  15. Bonnie says:

    Not Eminem??? haaha rofl he used to LOVE Em and he told Recovery is alright…..yeah right drake you getting all arrogant with your new album which btw aint shit! and hes kissing lil wayne’s ass….young money aint shit!

  16. Fat Boy says:

    @Bonnie Lol

  17. E_ says:

    Political Choice.

  18. donkey says:

    no eminem?fuck drake,recovery is classic,go back and fuck rihanna

  19. damone says:

    Nobody looks at em for a list. These dudes smash him besides Wayne. Do your thing Drake

  20. SilkCityP says:

    The album is cool for it’s purpose… It’s something that you listen to when you’re riding around with your lady… But it’s not a Hip Hop album… It’s definitely not something you should be bumping in your car by yourself with the windows all the way down… Not a good look, LOL

  21. killah says:

    Eminem is my number 1 on thelist, fuck drake for not putting him on there ..

  22. Haters / Stans says:

    Fuck all this, u gonna leave Big and Pac off a top 5 list ON Pac’s birthday? fuck this kid.

  23. Enzo says:

    LOL at all you Stans gettin madd because the rapper YOU like isn’t on Drake’s list. He dont have to liek what you like dumb niggas so pop off like fiddy say

  24. webstar says:

    I’m not a big Drake fan but I respect him & his craft & I respect the fact that he pays homage to the artists who influenced him…you don’t see a lot of young, popular artists doing that anymore.

  25. ~~` says:

    @SilkcityP
    very true statement lol

  26. Donn says:

    Damn, i swear y’all think y’all kno Drake personally, why are u madd at HIS list and on the politic shit, u don’t kno dude so why do u have to critisize every move he makes and everything he says. If u dnt like em’, thats cool, but y’all have something negative every post. What is ur motivation honestly

  27. PUNCHYOFACEIN says:

    EMINEM AINT THAT GOOD! and Drake has no resemblance towards eminem @ ALL so why would he lie? he RESPECTS him thats about it Eminem is only good for white boys and Indians yah i said INDIANS they blast that shit too yall hate us blacks now?

  28. Fat Boy says:

    Wait so yall sayin Blacks don’t relate to Eminem STFU!!!! This is why the racial card is always brought up….smh

  29. flow J says:

    @Fat Boy ……………..the people bringing that same shit up every time are the same people that diss people for fun and are internet gangsters…..o well….. let the ignorant people fight and let the cool calm collective people be smart & live their lives….Theirs a reason why Eminem is put on every feature is put last….”SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST” killed everybody on Forever……Watch yall stans come hate

  30. Fat Boy says:

    @flow j. Cosign

  31. Nathaniel says:

    lmao @ niggas getting salty at his list because their favorite rappers aren’t on it. not only is it a solid list for a toronto native of 23 years old (i mean c’mon… it ain’t 2000 no more we ain’t gotta look at Rakim like God no more. there are greats amongst us), but he gave some pretty good reasons to why they are HIS favorites. no, not they should be YOUR favorites or the official “favorite” of every person who ever heard a rap album, but HIS favorites. y’all niggas kill me.

    and The Love Below was one of the best albums, period, cross-genre of the past decade. i can see why a nigga who is 40% rap and 60% sing would love it. Andre 3000 is the greatest artist… key word ARTIST that Hip Hop has seen since 2pac. (ARTIST… i didn’t say rapper or emcee). i’m thinking Kanye will be next to hold that place… then maybe Lupe Fiasco. just a prediction, shrug*

  32. j305 says:

    tired of this race shit every color gender and bak ground listen to him thats y he is the most selling artist of the decade, get over it, if you don’t like him don’t comment and move on.

  33. G says:

    I Still don’t get it. How can he say that Nas influenced his album when there are no tracks that you would say Nas influenced or any tracks that Nas would make. come on son.

  34. bffl08 says:

  37. Drizzle-Nutz says:

    Drake Stans need a new name. Stans are for Eminem. FROM THIS DAY FORWARD. ANYONE CAUGHT DICKRIDING DRAKE INCLUDING ME WILL BE CALLED:

    AN AUBREY

    So for example:

    “You aubrey’s need to get off that canadian jew niggas dick”

    Capishe?

  38. Nathaniel says:

    @G and @mmkayy

    …apparently the nigga drake hasn’t figured out Nas’ rhyme structure. prolly got mind-boggled and said fuck it, back to the drawing board. maybe the right word was “inspired”…not influenced, lol.

    he also said he was studying andre 3000′s rhyme-style and structure… and once again, no trace of that whatsoever. “inspire” is the word… or maybe just “intrigued” lol

  39. Yo Moms says:

    Why is Drake so damn corny? His music is str8 but dude is a corn ball no wonder Rihanna ditched him. Str8 cheese.

  40. Mike says:

    @Yo Moms. LMFAO!!!!!!……Fuck All the Drake Stans Enzo & Word

  41. Enzo says:

    Im about whatever mannnn, fuck what they be talkin bout, your opinions doesnt count….

    FUCK YOU HATER DIE OF A LYNCHING!

  42. bonbon says:

    no lightning bolts here.

  43. L4U says:

    Any HIP HOP top 5 list without EM on it is a failure??!!! GTFOH I can put at least 10 MC’s in front of EM now what……You know what OPINIONS are like

  44. Thank Me Hater says:

    @Ultrakid Did you just say Kanye > Andre>Nas….I can’t even finish it….. *blank stare*

  45. robert says:

    THE PUSSIFICATION OF RAP = DRAKE

  46. Thank Me Hater says:

    WHOA CALM DOWN YALL. THESE ARE DRAKE’S PERSONAL INFLUENCES….HIS IDOLS MORE SPECIFICALLY. THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS IN MY EYES. PAC BIG AND EM DIDN’T INFLUENCE HIM AS MUCH AS THESE GUYS. THAT’S UNDERSTANDABLE!! THAT DOESN’T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM PAC BIG AND EM AT ALL.

  47. Thank Me Hater says:

    By the way The Drought is Over mixtape >>>>>> Thank Me Later…. he was straight spittin on that shit!! What the fuck happened?!

  48. Barzini Meeting says:
