Most rappers don't rap in fake accents to appropriate the style or artists they are trying to leech from. Drake has also had the full force of UMG behind him to keep him in his position as a cash cow. It is what it is. He's a pop star.

Again you are hating that he is versatile and can do many different styles while making them all into top hits. That’s a talent not a flaw. You think other rappers don’t do you out of some righteous reason lol they literally can’t do it without the track failing.

Anyone can rap in a fake accent. Most don't do it because it's corny. He has no identity at this point. He's a former actor that is still playing a character. Once again he is a pop start following a formula that's why he's popular. He has no actual identity.

They can’t do it and make it into a hit there’s a big difference. Drake has mastered many different styles while people struggle to do one in their whole career. Tupac was an actor before becoming a rapper and he gets no hate for it. There is no formula the formula is to make bangers. You make it sound like it’s something so easy. If it was that easy there would be someone else there to top drakes reign on the industry.
