Great job on the presentation and shows how popular Drake is in both his and other genres. The rap centrality was interesting and seeing how large the artist and other artists are in the genre and beyond. More graphical insight on his potential to expand into other genres would be ideal. A job well done overall.

I thought your team had Interesting insights especially how Drake is so popular and well-known yet has lower influence (degree centrality) within the genres. Great work!

nia-ramcharitar

I thought your presentation was very clear and it was insightful knowing that Drake limits his collaborations to the top 50 artists which limits his growth opportunity into new genres.

Ilona

Great presentation! You took a deep dive into the dataset in regards to Drake, and found a lot of insightful information.

One question I have for you: In your first insight you mention that Drake is very versatile in terms of genres but in your third insight you state that he exhibits low versatility in terms of collaborating with different genres. Can you expand on that?
