In reply to C**********.

Well Drake came out during the time the whole Crunk era was coming to an end. He was one of the very few rappers that came with a brand new style/sound. His impact on 2010's Hip-Hop/R&B simply cannot be denied. Pretty much every Hip-Hop track featured Drake & most R&B artists tried to sound like him oppose to the early 2000s R&B.

Personally I don't think he's overrated if we're comparing him to many Southern rappers who made club/twerk music. I do however believe timing played a role in his success.
