Remove: "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" as a studio album as it is a mixtape. The reason that it is being sold for money makes no sense, as Drake's third mixtape "So Far Gone" is being sold on iTunes and select retailers, and is still considered a mixtape. Drake has stated himself that it is a mixtape, verbally and in the liner notes of said mixtape. Mixtape was to be released for free, but the record label Cash Money pushed for a retail release for monetary purposes. 72.69.130.73 (talk) 01:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Not done. This has been discussed ad naseum. Whether it's a mixtape or not is irrelevant to our including it in the discography section.

Origin

Drake's origin is not from Hidden Hills, California, U.S. His origin from the day he started to this day, is still Toronto, Ontario, Canada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sweeterman (talkcontribs) 14:12, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Drake is know for being able to rap, but at the same time sing with a gracious tone, which could be said to be very unseen in todays popular music scene.[1] "JON CARAMANICA." New York Times (1923-Current file): 2. Jun 13 2010. ProQuest. Web. 5 Oct. 2015." Gsb1395 (talk) 04:46, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Feuds

I believe this section should be removed. Most of the feuds are trivial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HipHopVisionary (talkcontribs) 14:44, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Feuds are a part of hip-hop competition. Many feuds within hip-hop have been notable in an artist's career, including Drake. While not every feud is notable, some, which become the talk of the culture, are notable and have significant effects on one's career. You may not have interest in them, but the culture and fanbase do. Keep section. -- Jayo68 (talk) 14:51, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

These aren't feuds. This feuds section is nonsense. Watch Meek backtrack his opinion just like the rest of those rappers. This is why the list of Drake feuds article got deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilovemexico99 (talkcontribs) 12:38, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

These are not real beefs. I proved it with citations. This section should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HipHopVisionary (talkcontribs) 12:48, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Keep Notable beefs should be included. Not just any time something harsh is said about another artist. Let's not go overboard here. I do agree that the Common beef could be removed. I do not object. The Chris Brown beef is notable, so is the Meek Mill, being that it is current and lasted more than "a week" as you put it. It's also received an overwhelming amount of media coverage and continues to be a topic of discussion in hip-hop. Also, it should be noted that both HipHopVisionary and Ilovemexico99, along with some other accounts are currently being investigated as registered by the same user. Jayo68 (talk) 03:48, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Comment This is not a poll, there are no votes. If 20 people (or 20 user names) agree that we should say Drake is a vampire who was born in 15th century Spain and one person says that the only sourced info we have says he's a rapper, the one
!vote would carry the day. - SummerPhDv2.0

It is a irrelevant feud. Jayo68 is a just a number one Meek Mill fan trying to promote Meek Mill on Drake's Wikipedia and add fuel to the fire.

Keep Meek Mill didn't remove his diss because the feud is over, WWE filed a seize and desist for using The Undertaker's theme music.[1] Just because Meek said he wasn't exercising a beef, doesn't mean that the beef doesn't exist as there's a large amount of controversy that lies in this situation. Looks like Equal amount of Keep votes as removes.Funkatastic (talk) 19:13, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
Actually, HipHopVisionary was banned and was reported for using other usernames to override it. So technically, more keep votes than remove votes.Funkatastic (talk) 19:22, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
Mr. Veteran Expert, HHV isn't banned but blocked. I know; I just blocked one of his IP socks. And "technically"? There is no consensus here, certainly not a clear one: I have closed dozens, if not hundreds such discussions, and there is no clear consensus here. It's not about numbers anyway (read SummerPhD's comment above), and there's a pretty solid argument by User:Azealia911 (who's a pretty rock-solid editor, as it happens, with good common sense) for deleting a bunch of the material. This is the internet, I know, but it doesn't mean you get to yell at everyone. Drmies (talk) 22:08, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

In the controversies section, with the Meek Mill debate I think it would be useful if you included the rolls of Funkmaster Flex and his endorsements of Meek Mill, such as playing his diss track "wanna know". Also it is worth mentioning that drake endorsed DJ Clue as an attack towards Funkmaster Flex. My last suggestion for an edit would be to reference the usage of meme's at OVO while drake sang back to back. Thank you, sources for this material are the following: Hill, Glynn A.

Rap style

"Drake, whose sing-song lyricism is frequently interrupted with an emphatic "Ah!" Drake's vocals are accompanied by a staple blend of strings, piano, and "soft" instrumentals, drawing attention to a vulnerability often lacking in commercial rap narratives."

Legal issues

In 2012, Drake came out with the song " The Motto", which consisted of a lyrics saying "You only live once, that's the motto, Yolo". The term "Yolo" became one of the most popular sayings among teens during this time period. Companies such as Walgreens started to use the saying on shirts which brought attention to the rapper and his rights for the saying. That being said, Drake has started to speak up about the possibilities of royalties regarding the term "yolo"[1] Gsb1395 (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

security

With the creation of social media there is no hiding information from the public when you are a public figure thus making security very important for these individuals. After the shooting involving Suge Knight in Los Angeles, NYPD has stepped up their protection for rappers like Drake and many more due to the unknown actions of others when in public settings. NYPD protection includes that all New York club owners inform the HipHop Police in advance of everyone coming in the club and who is on the list. [1] Gsb1395 (talk) 20:34, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Hotline Bling

It's kinda stunning that Drake's Wikipedia page has zero mentions of "Hotline Bling," considering it hit #2 on the Billboard charts, had it's dance mimicked by an NFL receiver during a game (http://fansided.com/2015/10/25/mark-ingram-hotline-bling-dance-td-video/), and has a mention on Wikipedia's own List of Internet phenomena page. A simple google search of Hotline Bling reveals hundreds of news articles, calling the dance the newest internet meme. And Wikipedia has NOTHING on Drake's page?

Controversies Section Edit Warring

One editor in particular has taken it upon themselves to continually revert the Controversies section to an older revision without justifying it here on Talk. A few notes I've made on the Administrators' Noticeboard about this specific issue (which I will add here, on this article, for posterity, as it's this WP article that's being affected):

So the Talk page discussion (which you neglected to form yourself) is here now for you to share your concerns and collaborate. You don't accomplish that by reverting impulsively and failing to explain yourself. So I'm going to revert now to the updated revision and I expect to hear your concerns about it on here. Antinate (talk) 17:08, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

I think it's worth noting, that every single thing you've accused me of doing, you also have done. My stance has been and always will be that controversy/feud sections must be unbiased and stick strictly to facts. You have not done that and rewrote the sections to favor Drake. If you'd like to "clean up" the section in a neutral way instead of just trying to edit war with users who don't let you do what you want, be my guest. Funkatastic (talk) 05:28, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
If you would like to actually contribute using explicit details and references about the content of the writing, instead of accusing editors personally of faults or wrongdoing, that would be great. Thanks. Antinate (talk) 05:32, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
"...embarrass Meek Mill and extinguish any buzz around Meek's failed sophomore album" extremely opinionated as well as claiming DWMTM a "failed album" is inaccurate on top of being extremely bias. A #1 album for two weeks and nearing Gold certification, additionally you removed all evidence of Drake's ghostwriting from the section. If you'd like to rewrite your the section free of your opinion that's fine but until you do so I will continue to remove this edit and still consider it vandalism. Funkatastic (talk) 21:56, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I fail to see how you could not have applied your edits and omissions to my update to the article. In fact, I'm confident that you never once looked at the diffs of my first rewrite to the Controversies section nor acknowledged my continued insistence that I did not add any new content to the section that had not been written in by previous editors. PLEASE LOOK!!! If some other editor added in parts to the section that you disagree with, and I had since then rewritten the section before you caught on to those other editors' additions: I'm not apologizing for that because that's how Wikipedia works, plain and simple. It's a collaborative process, and being reverted from the changes you made to your personal-favorite diff is one of the pitfalls of editing decrepit versions of the section. It gives you no authority to completely wipe out any proofreading done to the section since then, so quit this foolish tantrum you're having, revise the specific proofread passages that bother you, and move on. Antinate (talk) 01:42, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Addendum: to reiterate, and reinforce: yes, as was responsible for this entire affair in the first place, you went back into an older diff and edited a non-proofread revision of the section. We wouldn't be having this issue if you would simply revise contemporary, proofread revisions. Meaning: by all means, go ahead and redact any and all opinionated content. In fact, I encourage you! My only problem is that you seem to think (erroneously) that your changes necessitate going back to a version preceding proofreading, clarity changes, and encyclopedic language. This is the only issue, but you are hell-bent on making it a big one. Antinate (talk) 01:46, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
First of all, WP:No personal attacks you need to relax. Secondly, for future reference, before making major changes to articles and their section layout, check the sections you're changing for vandalism. This is basic editing 101, and your skipping of this very simple step when making said changes caused this entire issue. Obviously you making this mistake must mean you're a little new to editing, so I'll kindly act like you didn't know about WP:No personal attacks instead of reporting you, let's leave it at that. Funkatastic (talk) 02:41, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Report me all you want. I have been very reasonable about your misbehavior thus far, and administrators' attention to your conduct throughout this ordeal will not be in your favor. Secondly, I've been around here for a very long time, so I know how WP works, thanks. Thirdly, I've taken note of your edit on the article. Will you edit it for encyclopedic language, or should I? Antinate (talk) 03:44, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Just delete the trivial section. None of these rappers have a effect on Drake's career. There was no proof or a leaked video of him throwing bottles at Chris Brown in a club and Drake and Meek Mill still follow each other on Twitter. Common and Pusha T are irrelevant towards Drake's career. This trivial section is causing to many edit wars and disputes on Drake's article. This article should only be about Drake's career not rumors and other rappers. I suggest to just remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:50C7:4200:6D96:E97E:8A82:4EEF (talk) 01:37, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

The terms "diss" and "diss track" need to be defined in this article. The initial references to those terms should be hyperlinked to their own Wikipedia articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robcotnam (talkcontribs) 14:46, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

On the Wikipedia page it lists many of drake’s accomplishments and then says, “His work has earned him a Grammy Award, three Juno Awards, six BET Awards, and set several significant Billboard charts records.” Although this is accurate, Drake achieved 2 grammy award nominees and 2 juno awards before he even came out with his first official album, “Thank Me Later”. Considering this is a pretty impressive achievement, I think it should be mentioned on the Wikipedia page. I do not think the above statement should be changed just after the sentence is added, "Even before Drake's first official album he was credited with 2 grammy award nominees and 2 juno awards." Also another piece of interesting information is the first person who signed drake to a publishing deal. This man was the West Coast Creative President of EMI Music Publication, 'Big' Jon Piatt. I think this information should be listed in the first paragraph after the sentence about Lil Wayne's Young Entertainment.
