What current musician do you think will stand the test of time? There are multiple artists that I believe are able to stand the tests of time the same way 2-Pac and Dr. Dre did, but I think there is one glaring answer that many people might not like, and that person is Drake. By no means is Drake my favorite rap artist right now but he creates music that has already stood the test of time.
With multiple throwbacks from when he first started his career like Look What You’ve Done, Forever, and Headlines, all songs that are over a decade old and are still relevant. I believe he will only get better and create more timeless songs. His ability to change his style of music between songs has only gotten better. From songs that have rhyme and rhythm similar to poetry like Chicago
Freestyle and Champagne Poetry, to hype songs that you can play before a game like Back to Back and Wants and Needs , he even has made songs that have an early 2000’s flow to them like 4 pm in Calabasas and Energy.
Drake is not an artist that is amazing at one style or has his own signature style. Instead he is the type of artist that is good at everything. He is also able to adapt with time and create new music throughout any generation, always keeping his name relevant. It is his ability to stay ahead and adapt that makes me believe that he will be timeless.

Drake surely has withstood the years, usually living on past other people he used to collaborate along with. All of the albums you’ve listed all have some uniqueness to them that brings attention back onto Drake, and the fact that the songs themselves are timeless, always being brought back to the present somehow.
