\n\tA few weeks back, it was the Game. Now we can add DJ Whoo Kid to the list of people saying that the rap game is missing Drake on the charts.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhoo Kid sat down with Diverse Mentality<\/em> recently, and was asked about the Toronto rapper using his drop for the Kendrick Lamar diss track \u201cPush Ups,\u201d revealing that Drake hit him up randomly for permission while he was on a cruise with a significant other. He also said the moment helped younger fans become familiar with his mixtape days before equating it to the battle between the two rap titans. \u201cYou know, the thing I\u2019ve learned when you do stuff like that? It\u2019s just a moment, man. Everything is a moment. Kendrick had his moment,\u201d Whoo Kid said. \u201cSix months, he\u2019s the man. Then the Super Bowl, he\u2019s the man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, according to him, the genre is in dire need of Drake making his return to chart dominance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBut the thing about Drake, he uses patience as a way of getting back,\u201d he explained. \u201cAs you can see, I mean, where has hip-hop been? There\u2019s no Billboard<\/em> charts, there\u2019s nothing. I think French Montana and Max B barely is like in the 80s and thank God they there in the Hot 100, but I don\u2019t know. I think Sexyy Red is back up now because she just dropped, but there\u2019s not really nobody like\u2026I don\u2019t know. You tell me. I\u2019m not an expert in this, but I know when he\u2019s here, we\u2019re on the charts. If you wanna talk numbers and facts, whether it\u2019s inflated or whatever \u2019cause labels been inflating sh\u2013 for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe wait is almost over, though, as Drake\u2019s ninth solo album Iceman<\/em> is set to drop next week, on May 15.<\/p>\n
