In a recent interview, Dipset rapper Jim Jones reaffirmed his belief that Drake is the greatest rapper of all time.
Jones originally made the claim during a March 2023 conversation with Complex, and when asked again nearly a year later, he stood by it without hesitation. Breaking into a playful rendition of Drake’s “Babygirl” line from “Nokia,” Jones emphasized the significant impact Drake has had on hip-hop over the last decade.
Jones argued that Drake has transformed the way audiences engage with music and has played a pivotal role in boosting the careers of countless artists. “What you gonna say to Drake? What you really gonna do with him, man?” he asked, pointing to Drake’s unmatched versatility and influence. He credited the Canadian rapper with helping evolve the sound of modern Hip-Hop and offering a platform to both rising and established names—through collaborations and touring opportunities.
“He’s done more for our culture than most of these people,” Jones said, stressing that Drake’s contributions go far beyond his own success. While the interviewer noted that much has happened since Jones’s original statement—likely referring to Drake’s public feud with Kendrick Lamar—Jones remained unfazed. He focused instead on Drake’s broader legacy and lasting influence.
His comments fuel the ongoing debate over Hip-Hop’s GOAT, placing Drake at the forefront not just for his chart-topping hits, but for his cultural imprint and the widespread impact he’s had on the genre and its community.
