The Absurdity Of Comparing Drake To Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson’s life is one of the most insane lives ever lived. If you look at his career, he’s like NBA Legend Kobe Bryant, they’d have to retire two jerseys. MJ’s impact as the lead of The Jackson 5 alone could go toe to toe with Drake’s career. Michael Jackson was a global multi-generational superstar. He wasn’t an artist with crossover appeal, his music was universal. On the other side of the coin, Drake is one of the greatest of his era. However, his music is not universally loved around the world, in the way the numbers make it seem.

Is The Hype for “Certified Lover Boy” Insurmountable?

It’s been a wild ride in Hip-Hop these last 10 years since Drake released his Grammy-winning “Take Care.” Since then his career has been a never-ending soap opera filled with #1 records, baby reveals, legendary rivalries, and a level of artistic dominance that few could ever even dream of. So what role will “Certified Lover Boy” play? Will it be his best project yet, or just another addition to albums in the “just not as good as ‘Take Care’” club?
