5 Current Rappers To Watch (And 5 To Forget)

3. It's Time To Forget: Drake

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RubBzkZzpUA He started from the bottom, now he's here. And no one cares. Unlike the hype-worthy Childish Gambino, Drake is a perfect example of what you would expect from a TV star-turned-rapper. Were talking about a hip hop megastar so terribly dreary and void of personality that Wu Tang legend Ghostface Killah has this suburban fool on his Softest Rappers In The Game chart at 3rd, 2nd and 1st place - an unprecedented achievement in anyone's book. We don't expect all of our rappers to be straight up ghetto thugs, but Drake deserves any and all derision he gets for his weak attempts to come across as something he isn't. This clown works tirelessly to pretend he's "street", while his background hints that Drake's only real interaction with the streets was rolling his cripple Degrassi: The Next Generation character around town in a wheelchair. Regardless of his roots, it's his drudging, nasal drawl and dispassionate flow that secure his place on this list. Another cheap Lil Wayne knock-off, Drake should be forced at knifepoint to refund the unsuspecting children who fell for his cheesy smile and gormless rhymes.
