It is 2016, and unless you're living under a rock, it's been impossible to ignore two people, Hillary Clinton and Drake. While these two might seem like they have nothing in common, when you really think about it, there's way more in common between the two than meets the eye. And not just because they are both Grammy winners.

Both have essentially run their own respective "games" for the last five years. The rap game has been ruled by the iron fist of Drake—if you wanted a song to get big, it had to be given a thumbs up and remix by Drake (e.g. "Tuesday," "My Way," and "Where Ya At"). On the other hand, you have Hillary Clinton, who stepped down as Secretary of State in 2013 and started what feels like the never-ending campaign to run for President. However, after Bernie Sanders announcing his bid, suddenly a Hillary presidency didn’t seem like the best move.

However, for Drake, the change in the claim as the best rapper came more subtly. By putting himself in context with every good rapper, his flaws became more apparent. He wasn’t a better rapper than Kendrick, he wasn’t as melodic as Fetty, and definitely wasn’t as weird as ILoveMakonnan. Soon, him singing “Uh-uh, uh, think I need some Robitussin,” in the same song as Future was like watching your friend embarrassingly strike out at the bar. It was cringe worthy. Drake and Hillary have over-represented themselves for years in the media, and it's possibly come back to haunt them (but probably won't).

These two have had a very open dialogue with the outside world for a very long time. Clinton has been in the spotlight since before Drake was even on "Degrassi." But on the other hand, Drake has been putting out personal songs about his love life, family, and himself for the better part of a decade now. However, in 2016, it seems like what these two are trying to say has become backed with little merit and has just become fan-pleasing substance.

Let’s discuss Drake first:

Starting with the fact that he will drop a diss track with lines like “Make sure you hit him with the prenup,” mocking Meek Mills for having less money than famous rapper girlfriend Nicki Minaj, it came off as not only petty, but also sexist towards a good friend of his. Only a few months later, Drake released an entire mixtape with Future with the opening song “Digital Dash,” featuring the line, “Just walked in with a girl making triple what I make / What an entrance.” Drake had never even addressed the fact he was mocking Meek for the exact same thing, because the words have no substance to Drake, they are just “cool” things to say.

Now, Drake isn’t a garbage rapper and has definitely changed how people look at and listen to rap music, especially at a time when the scene was run by Waka Flocka and Lil' Wayne talking about slinging cocaine and killing people. Few people will argue that “Take Care” isn’t a classic album and won’t go down as one of this generation's best rap albums, but nothing Drake has done has matched that output.

“Nothing Was the Same” was good and had plenty of hits, but lacked the depth and longevity that “Take Care” was dripping in. “If You Are Reading This It’s Too Late” was a flash in the pan, sure. And he pretty much just made everyone join #futurehive when he was bodied by Future on every song except the one he does by himself. Yeah, there have been some good singles or remixes he's done since then, but at this very moment could you name five of them? I bet you can't.

However, Drake has announced that “Views From The 6” will be dropping in April of this year, his first album since 2013. Get ready for this to take over everything you hear for the rest of the summer. No matter if it's good or bad, it will have a stranglehold on the rap game for months.

Now, the lady that is trying to have her cake and eat it, too, Hillary.

She and her team think they know what the kids want and try to tell it to them, but it comes off as a fake, like her tweeting asking what emojis best described her political campaign. Exactly like how Drake has a meme ready for almost every single thing he does.

Additionally, while most Democratic debates have been on days that no one would be down to "watch a debate and chill," like Saturdays, Hillary has used the events to try and match Sanders' anti-big money rhetoric. She will denounce the big banks who have donated large amounts to her campaign. The only problem with those small donors (less than 200 dollars) is that they make up only about 15 percent of her campaign, the same as Donald Trump, 10th lowest out of all Presidential campaigns, and not even close to Bernie’s 70 percent small donors.

Then, Clinton will then pull the biggest “Drake” move by tugging at your heartstrings and mention 9/11 as one of the reasons Wall Street loves her. She even went on CNN during a town hall meeting in New Hampshire in which she refused to debate Bernie (could anyone picture Drake agreeing to battle rap with Meek Mills?) and praised her amount of small donors. Clinton, just like Drake, is just saying things she couldn’t care less about, whether they're real or not.

This isn't to say both are horrible people, just past their prime. Go watch Hillary’s speech at the 1995 United Nations Women’s Conference in China and try to not get goosebumps. Hillary took the role of First Lady to an entirely new level. At the time, women's rights in China were nonexistent, and for Hillary to go out and say things like, “We are to find common ground so that we may help to bring new dignity and respect to women and girls all over the world,” was groundbreaking at the time, and should always be respected as such.

Since then, she's run a successful Senate campaign, an unsuccessful presidential bid in 2008, and now another presidential campaign in 2016. She's morphed into what she thinks the people want and hesitates on answering questions that border on more "controversial topics" to see what the best answer might be, instead of going with her gut.

Ultimately, predicting what a Clinton Presidency will be like is just speculation, but it probably won’t be the political revolution Bernie Sanders has dreamed of. It will be old people keeping things safe and not trying to rock the boat. Hillary becoming the first woman president would be a well-earned historic event, however, her flaws still remain obvious.

When it comes down to it, if you don’t like Drake and you don’t like Hillary Clinton, 2016 might not be the best year for you. But it will definitely be one for the history books.
