Drake is on the path to be classified in the same category as the greats like the Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z, according to legendary Houston DJ OG Ron C.
The southern DJ said Drake will be one of the biggest rappers of all time during an interview with the LaunchDon Podcast. “I think a person like Drake is headed to G.O.A.T. status because they’re reaching everybody,” he said. “He reaches any type of person. If we just want to section if off, not in race but for genres, of what people like as far as Trap, as far as the lovers, as far as the average day modern day worker, as far as the Pop, as far as the Reggae people, Dancehall and all that. Like, what artist is? It confuses me when I’m seeing the critics, [when] they giving him a hard time, ‘Oh, he whining on this song,’ or ‘Oh, he doing this on that song.”
OG Ron C is a pioneer in Houston who founded Swishahouse, a label that housed artists like Slim Thug, Paul Wall, and Chamillionaire. It also helped to usher in the city’s signature chopped and screwed sound. Drake has a close relationship with him and once featured him on his OVO Sound Beats 1 Radio Show. He even released a chopped and screwed version of Drake’s latest album titled “Codeine Views.”
