Clearly somebody didn't do their research because according to Drake his stated that his the the first artist to successfully merge rapping and singing. Speaking to The Jewish Chronicle at a sold out event in London this is what he said in his OWN words:
"There were people who incorporated melody before me, but I would deem myself the first person to successfully rap and sing.
Yes, there are aspects of it that are new in the rap world. But it's not a gimmick. I just sort of exist and people embrace it. I'm one of the few artists who gets to be himself every day. It doesn't take me six hours to get ready and I don't have to wake up in the morning and remember to act like this or talk like this. I just have to be me. That's one of the favourite parts of my life - I've done this purely by being myself"
Missy Elliot, Left Eye, T-Pain, Kanye West, Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah? None of those names ring a bell? Somebody give this kid a seat and a history book puhhlease.
What do you think?
