    Yeah it is bro

    Kevin Gates is a great rapper, but he gets overrated on this site a lot.

    Ftr I actually kind of like Take Care. I'm basically president of the Drake hater's club and even I can admit most of Take Care is decent. It's also not even in the same universe as Islah, Stranger Than Fiction, By Any Means or either of the Luca Brasi tapes.

    He's one of the best rappers out right now lol, don't know how you can deny that. You may not like him but at the end of the day, not many are rapping like or better than him. His song writing ability far surpasses Drake's as well.

    Took this from an article that was written a little while back but explains things some more: "But what Gates is is a bar-for-bar monster, a guy who puts enormous force and energy into every line that comes out of his mouth. Even if you can’t tell what he’s talking about, you can tell that he means it."

    At the most, we could maybe get a mixtape before the end of the year but I wouldn't count on it. His label isn't letting him release another album until 2017 but I think we could see Luca Brasi 3 before then/

    You can compare Kevin to rappers like Meek Mill, Hopsin, but don't compare him to far superior rappers like Drake

    I didn't deny that. I even called him a great rapper. Drake isn't rapping better than him right now. He's not rapping better than most rappers lol. All I was saying was that Take Care > ISLAH which makes is kinda hard to call Drake a poor man's Kevin Gates.

    Don't know how people can't see the similarities either, listen to this and tell me you can't.
