SUMMARY In this episode, after a long hiatus, we decided to tackle a New York Times article about Drake. The article is titled "Rappers Are Singers Now. Thank Drake" and written by Jon Caramanica. It got a LOT of attention in multiple hip hop circles due to the audacity of the statement. We had no choice but to talk about this. We dive into the article and ask does the author make a good pernt? We ask what other artists were signing before Drake? And we also consider what the next decade might bring us.
