"I actually heard it is straight-up rap album," the old man said when somebody speculated it would be a straight R&B effort.

By focusing on rap, Drake will heighten the comps between him and Kanye and Kendrick.  We've already heard what Ye got.  Do you think Drake can out-rap they other two heavyweights?
