    1. Well of course he is! There is a very large gay district in the heart of Toronto. let me guess. Biebers the most influential?

      1. why would you need to guess you illiterate f uck, the article states whos number one if you were capable of reading

    2. Influence people to be the fakest bitch made pop princess since milli vanilli. Talking like he’s from Jamaica then England then Houston…running and avoiding challenges from REAL MC’S who would destroy his fake pop singing Career. #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH # FIRST NAME FAKEST…LAST NAME EVER

      1. Tired of him stealing everyone else’s work and trying to pass it off as his own. Hip hop needs a saviour. And it’s not him.

      1. The Weeknd or any of the other artists whose work he steals then passes off as his own. He took almost all of Abel’s(The Weeknd) first album for Take Care. Gave him NO credit or money. That’s why he wouldn’t sign to OVO. The only reason he wants to joint album with him now is because Cash Money’s going to have to pay this woman off and Drake’s not going to get his royalties he THINKS he’s owed. Ask HipHop Dx why they’re not reporting that. Cash Money doesn’t owe him anything. He’s been criminally charged in Canada. Stays faking Instagram pics. Has anyone actually SEEN him lately? Not just a photoshop picture?

    3. Only influential because he’s stealing other people’s songs and ideas. He’s getting sued again in Toronto. But hip hop dx doesn’t post that. Dick riding at it’s finest.

        1. Drake represents the absolute WORST things about hip hop-stealing lyrics and beats, under paying or not paying producers and underground artist, not feeding your crew, unchecked arrogance, and just general b*tchassness.

    4. Smh any nigga thinking he gon influence negatively how niggas think bout Drake by rambling bout bs should find a life lol

    5. Drake must be out here in the comments. Hip Hop Dx won’t report on his criminal charges and lawsuit against him. Someone comments on him not paying Abel, now they’re doing an album together? So he can get his money through Abel not Cash Money. Drake keeps screwing over CM and is a liability to them. That’s why they don’t pay him. I heard he took all his advance money from CM upfront and is now trying to dip out and consider it ‘monies owed’.
