The only ones saying that Drake is the next coming is radio stations, rap magazines, and bitches. His shit is wack and only a lame ass motherfucker needs to get 3 or 4 heavyweights on a song to try a legitimize his shit. I guarantee it after a few months of this bitch shit, everyone will see that his style is as crippled as his Degrassi High character. BUZZ, yeah right. More like force feeding.

1.Pac (fresh out of jail; signed to the Row)
2.Snoop (fresh off The Chronic)
3.50 Cent (killed it with the mixtapes)
4.DMX (you cant tell me that nigga didnt shut shit down)
5. Drake (sometimes its not what you know its who you know, i havent really heard many people in the streets talk about him, mostly the radio stations and xxlmag blowin him up)

How about Wu-Tang’s buzz? They had shit on lock from Enter the 36 Chambers all the way through Ironman.

In all honesty soulja boy had a bigger buzz than drake and everyone knows where sb’s lyrical skills are at the big difference is soulja boy created his off of myspace by his damn self. The only difference here is all the stanism going on with drake because he is down with whack ass lil’ wyane and drake is somewhat lyrically inclined i’d say if big daddy kane was a college professor drake raps at about a 2nd or 3rd grade level with cats like nas and jay-z being students in kane’s class

50 cent’ buzz was probably thebiggest
oh and don’t forget Banks
Damn he was a beast(still is but a little different) back in o3 with the classic mixtapes
And after dominating the g-unit album with his carzy punches the mixtapes led banks to almost triple platinum status with Hunger for more

Hate to burst y’all bubles but the two higHest selling(argubaly dopest) rappers of all time
didn’t have much rookie buzZ
2PAC & EMINEM DID NOT HAVE A ROOKIE DRAKE/50 CENT TYPE BUZZ LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE ACHEIVED!!!
Buzz ain’t that big o deal as long as you’re very talented focused and know how to make hits you will make it as an acclaimed mc

i think 50 cent and snoop’s buzz was bigger than drake’s because i’m in france and 50′s and snoop’s buzz was international i knew 50 since he dropped his mixtapes with the unit and me and my homies we were like who is this talented guy, but drake i only discovered him thanks to thisis50.com,beacause his music doesn’t pass on tv (not even on french mtv base) but drake has allot of talent to and i think his career is gonna be big.

Sorry for bad english

@latino heat

“as far as Nas goes he had no buzz on the west coast when he came out.”

I have to disagree with you there. I’m born & raised Los Angeles. Back then, if you knew Hip Hop, you knew about NaS. You undoubtedly had “Breaking Atoms” & listened to 3rd Bass, therefore you knew NaS was coming [||] & no pun intended. I only know a few people that had the “Zebrahead” soundtrack, but the folks out here that really lived & died this Hip Hop shit were on him from day one.

Before the ‘Net erased regions, a cat really had to have a buzz to make it all the way cross-country with only a few guest appearances, like Nas, Snoop & 50 did. People translate sells into buzz nowadays, but it wasn’t like that in the 90′s.

NaS, 50, & Snoop generated certifiable attention without downloads & leaked tracks. Drake (& the ilk) has it easy, per se.

It’s pretty close between Snoop,5O & Drake. What i like ’bout Drizzy though is’nt he tryna being hard or talkin’ ’bout being a gangsta’ or gettin’ shot but he’s being respected 4 his craft. Ya dig?

Let’s c if he can have a classic debut like Snoop btw Fiddy’s GRODT was pretty close 2 classic status.

My Asian friends ain’t never heard of him, they’re like “Who he?” coz Drake doesn’t exist on the charts here in Asia.

@Silly Willy
I agree with you about Snoop and 50 but to tell the truth, I didn’t really learn about Nas until “It WAS Written.” So, I think Drake’s buzz is bigger than Nas was and I don’t even listen to that type of rap (sissy). I am from the south but no buzz was bigger than Snoop’s buzz where i’m from. 50′s buzz came close and Pac’s before “All Eyes On Me.”

@Enlightened

Yeah, I am old enough to remember and you are right, no one comes close to Snoop Doggy Dogg. He’s the reason Gangsta Rap went to selling big numbers in the first place. What made me a big fan was that “Doggy Dogg World Video,” I thought I was a true pimp after that. Hell, I was about 10 years old. Lol

Yeah, a lot of those guys had big anticipation but Snoop and 50 cents was the biggest. Nas didn’t sell nearly as many records when he first came out, it took Biggie to rerelease his first album a couple times to sell what he sold, Cannibus….well, you know how wack his career ended out, but DMX also had a big buzz but not like Snoop and 50.

I think 50 had a bigger buzz. I went down to Haiti to see my fam in summer of 2001 and niggas was bumpin his mixtape. That’s right. In HAITI.

I guess I’m gonna have to shut this shit down !! The biggest Buzz that rivals Snoop Dogg goes to the one and only Foxy Brown. Don’t believe me? Wanna laugh ? Peep game: 1995, LL drops his 6th album titled Mr. Smith. Gets the ball rolling with Hey Lover, followed by his duet with Leshaun with Doin It – both bangers. Now, here comes the heater !! A posse cut that features Keith Murray, Prodigy and Fat Joe , all well known artist with the track “I Shot Ya” Remix. Funny thing is there is this female spittin’ and spittin’ hard !! And we don’t even know what she looks like until the video is broadcasted. And she looks good, spittin’ hard !! Basically stole the show from every emcee on the track, including the host – LL. But she’s not done. She creeps on the Nutty Professor soundtrack and wrecks the Case track “touch Me, Tease Me” another banger. Now here’s Jay-Z with his debut Reasonable Doubt. He comes with heat with “Dead Presidents” but it’s her feature on “Ain’t no Nigga” that makes that cd a commercial sucess- all before her debut dropped in November of 96. Jay’s shit dropped in June of the same year.

“Not only does the song feature three of the game’s best artists, but the rookie arguably got the best verse on the song.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wow…really? Y’all getting out hand with this Drake riding thing. Anyway…

I honeslty say the biggest buzz not for a debut a album, but for an album period goes to 1 of the following three albums…
1) Tupac – All Eyes On Me — Fresh out the pen, beef with Big, signed to Deatch Row w/ Dre behind the boards, and the fact that it was a double album.
2) Nas – I Am — highly anticapated, one of the first albums to be mercilessly bootlegged from East to West coast a good 3 months plus before the actual album dropped. Half the tracks from the original became the now classic “Lost Tapes”
3)Jay-Z – The Blueprint — y’all should know the science behind this one.
