You can have different "tastes". This isn't about tastes. This is about defining the word "artist". Drake is not Gregory Alan Isakov. He does not sit alone in a room, composing his own music all by himself as a means to exorcise his inner demons. He has an entire team of professional song writers who all sit around and figure out how to make the most markable "product" possible with the intent of making as much money as possible. It's two totally different things. One is a genuine expression of the human soul via music. The other is just a businessman, trying to make as much money as he can.
Now, if you want to call Drake an artist despite all that? Fine. But I will not.
