Drake will be just fine
This is similar to when Jay-Z and Nas had beef.
Nas won the beef, Jay-Z is currently just fine and often voted best rapper ever by mainstream polls
Drake will get teased and people on social media will comment Not Like Us lyrics in the comment section from time to time, but he'll be okay. He'll still sell, he'll still make number 1s.
That’s not what I meant I meant he shout have tried to be anecdotal about all the jabs against him. . by cerebral I meant quite and precise . Not sure how to say it but cerebral wasn’t the right word for sure 💁🏽
I think you mean “at its best”, and even that is false. There’s no way to spin “im too famous to be a pedo”, completely misunderstanding Mother I Sober and “i don’t even want to diss you anymore” as anything other than pure garbage
THP6 was terrible. Every point Drake made was poor or incorrect. "Too rich to be a pedo" - money and power is pretty much the only reason pedophile rings get away with things. Then claiming Kendrick is only saying this because he claimed he was assaulted himself in Mother I which is also blatantly incorrect. Not only incorrect but very insensitive and a stupid thing to say. I had second hand embarrassment for Drake listening to that song. That was Drake's answer to Not Like Us? It was game over.
Won't be half as bad. Pusha had a truth, Kenny had lies
Even with Push's truth, Drake went on his biggest run OAT. Its gonna be a long hot summer for the NPC class
People asking if Drake can ever come back. Bro, come back from WHERE? He never went away. Go touch grass, I beg y'all, life isn't r/KendrickLamar. His shit is just as popular as it ever was.
"He can't go to LA no more"... This isn't the 90s. He'll do sell-out shows over there in no time.
He can't continue as usual. It All started with Meek.
Meek took his artistic credibility away.
Pusha exposed Drake's insecurities and messy personal life.
Metro united Drake's biggest collaborators against him (and his source of cultural cache)
Weeknd divided Toronto's streets against him.
Kendrick, being the only artist truly big enough to actually smash Drake, took all of that and made Drake the poster boy for Culture Vultures and Industry Creeps.
Drake ain't destroyed. He's still too big of a force to be completely "Ja Rule'd" but his death by a 1000 cuts has begun.
And Drake's own deal is restricting him from freedom of maneuverability.
Drake can actually reverse a lot of this if he changes his mindset.
It will require:
Drake to transition to a Big Homie, and actually tap in with both Toronto and Memphis, cities where he still has ties and some good will, and actually put people on without stealing from them. He needs hungry young artists of substance that will actually be successful because of him, not in spite of him.
He'll need to quit the weird industry game of sleeping with everybody's girlfriends.
He'll need to create an authentic sound for his city and push it.
And maybe double down on his role as the bad guy a bit.
Shit. Set up Kendrick's next show in Toronto. Flex some muscle. Make Chubbs earn his check.
Personally I don’t share the disdain for him stepping into an accent. On The Radar Freestyle, or any of his UK Drill songs are always crazy and it’s brought attention to a genre of hiphop that doesn’t get enough love in the states.
Maybe "create" was the wrong word.
He needs to tap in with the actual rap scene in Toronto and introduce it to the world without cannibalizing it.
I never been to LA, but can tell you what a "West Coast" beat sounds like, how they dress, what they sound like, the famous hoods, etc.
Same with NY, ATL, Houston, Miami, etc.
Drake never really painted a picture of Toronto for me. He needs to at least give us someone who can.
There's gotta be some rapper from "The 6ix" that can really rep hard for that city and show me, some dude from Peoria, Illinois, how they operate and what they really sound like.
Drake has basically been a chameleon his whole career.
"Drake never really painted a picture of Toronto for me. He needs to at least give us someone who can"
That's crazy, Drake and 40 are like the YG Mustard of Toronto. Like Views is dedicated to Toronto
I feel you. I don’t agree because I think there are answers to your questions, you just have to look. Toronto has their scene, their underground artists, culture, style and their champs. Personally, I’m in the states so it’s not common knowledge but if you tap into it, you’ll get what you’re looking for.
You are severely misunderstanding me.
I have never said that Toronto doesn't have those things.
I am saying: Drake has never bothered to share those things with the world. He has been jumping every other wave but his own.
You keep acting like I'm denying their existence all together.
But outside of Drake, Weeknd, Tory Lanez, and Kardinal Offishall, no Canadian has truly blown up in the States as far as rap is concerned.
No shit Toronto has its own scene, that was never in question. What the comment was saying is that Drake has never repped it to the fullest to make Toronto well known with his non Canadian fan base. Half the time you’d think he was Houston since he never stops talking about it or J Prince.
Toronto can't tell an American who's promoted in America.
Where's the Her Loss/WATTBA record with the above mentioned artists?
He can go to Atlanta and make records like that with 21 and Future, but no one from his city.
Most of those artists get a couple records and then the OVO Sweatshop treatment. None of them can stand alone without Drake and if they can (Weeknd), there's beef.
Am I the only one who thinks Drake already has a signature sound and that very sound was adopted by Toronto?
Can't lie it's been years since iv tapped into the Toronto scene but I remember around Views era it felt like they had a little bit Drake in them (no Diddy)
Joe Budden actually helped Drake win a beef.
Drake, using Budden's flow, won against some Toronto cat named Aristo.
See: "Goodnight and Goodluck" and "Good Riddance"
What recovery? He’s already on Camila cabellos new album, and the beef won’t have any impact on his career. Nobody cares about the beef anymore shits done nobody I know care about it anymore or talks about it. We still listen to both artists like we always have
>What recovery? He’s already on Camila cabellos new album, and the beef won’t have any impact on his career.
Ahh yes, noted hip hop artist Camila Cabello…
Lmk when he starts working with dudes from Atlanta again…people are way too obsessed with the pedo shit when that wasn’t even the biggest allegation in terms of being a hip hop criminal.
Kendrick called him a colonizer and rightfully so. Lmk when Drake is back in the studio with real respected artists/producers in hip hop.
If Kendrick is actually what the culture is feeling then Drakes hip hop career is over. Drake the artist will always be fine and will always have the streaming numbers. But at this point he’s an artist, not a rapper not an emcee.
So if he works with black artists it’s he’s a colonizer but when he works with white artists it’s he can’t be taken seriously ok got it love the goalpost moving
I mean Drakes fallen from the 3rd most listened to artist on spotify to the 11th. For All The Dogs is and has been falling drastically lower and lower in the charts, and pretty much all the talk around Drake online is negative. I don’t think it’s ruined his career but I think the times where he’s pulling in the numbers he used to are likely over.
If that's his worst during the peak aftermath of the beef then he'll be fine. He already has 76 million monthly listeners and still doing numbers. Once he drops an album, he'll go back to where he was. Worst case scenario he downgrades to Chris Brown league. But I highly highly doubt that since he's already so big and there's no concrete court proof for the pedo stuff or victim allegations.
Only way he actually falls off is if he retires or dies.
I mean we can only speculate but I highly doubt Drake will ever go back to where he was, he’ll still be huge definitely but I think people are just a bit bored of him. He hasn’t had a good project since 2017 and the albums all albums since then were either dead on arrival or got really stale really fast. I think he needs to put out a timeless classic like Take Care if he wants to get back to where he was.
You did not just call him the boy 💀 Also yes but look at the people above him on the top list, Rihanna who’s more or less retired, Em who’s dropped a single song. I personally don’t believe numbers reflect the music but dropping from 3 to 11 is a drastic step down and it’s undoubtedly in part due to the beef and the bad press he got during it.
And Drane had more streams than Em last time he dropped. 3 to 11 makes complete sense when you realize he’s only dropped 10M monthly listeners. Most of them have had huge drops (Billie, Em, Sabrina, Ariana, Post). The other ones are ones who have large attraction to older audiences (David Guetta, Coldplay) Weeknd and Taylor Swift are obvious. Taking those out of the way, the only outlier is Rihanna. She has multiple songs with a billion streams and is arguably as streamed as Drake, so it’s not surprising that she hovers around 70-80. But Drake was ahead of her for a while, and he’s only 6M behind her now. Nothing a slight surge in popularity won’t fix. Plus she’s full pop, a more streamed genre.
And yeah, I called him the Boy. Anything wrong with that?
I agree but you can also look at websites which will show you the downward trends of Drakes listening, and let’s not pretend that Push Ups and Family Matters weren’t also huge drops.
Nothing wrong with calling him the boy it’s just really weird thing to call a man you don’t know 🤷♂️
Fair enough, but that's one of the nicknames he prefers lol. I'll stick to Drizzy for this lmao. Push Ups and FM are still being heavily streamed every day. They dropped off Billboard, but that really doesn't have any impact on the Spotify charts. And that's two songs. Not every single Drake drops is going to be massively successful. If it was then I'd worry he's paying for streams. Nobody can accuse Drizzy of that one now
I mean if that does happen.. it is what it is. He had a good run, no shame in that. Happens to the best of them. He had talked about retiring or taking a step back from music eventually. Hopefully he gives us another album full of bangers before then
Breaking streaming records really ain’t as impressive as people make it out to be. Streamings been mainstream for roughly 10 years meaning there’s hundreds of years worth of artists whose music would’ve easily achieved that if it were around in their eras. Drake was just in the right place at the right time.
Because Kendrick isn't pop. He doesn't commonly do pop songs and songs with pop artists. Pop is the most popular genre. You'll never see Kendrick doing a song like 'one dance'. No one is saying Kendrick is going to out stream Drake from now on. Kendrick is a rapper who doesn't venture far from the hip-hop genre.
Why is Kendrick’s name being mentioned 😭
Yes it’s obviously a great feat but let’s not act like nobody else in history wouldn’t have accomplished that if streaming was around in there era. MJ, The Beatles, Elvis, Eminem and countless others would’ve all undoubtedly hit that record by now so I stand by streaming records aren’t that impressive and breaking and setting them is just a right place right time thing.
Yes but the numbers on spotify reflect the people who are listening to the music. I still listen to quite a few Drake songs because I think they’re good songs and the internets opinions on him as a person true or false don’t impact my ability to enjoy his music. However, for some people that’s different and that’s clearly enough people to make him fall so far down the spotify charts (He’ll probably climb up again though I doubt to as high as he once was).
My point was Drake is losing monthly listeners at quite a fast rate and it just so happens to be after a huge rap beef that he lost with horrible allegations brought against him. Your point was Drake has more monthly listeners than Kendrick. That’s not relevant to the conversation.
drake has been eternally hated online since 2018. FATD is no different than his other post Spotify change albums. You people need to touch grass and realize the world isn’t the internet and the internet isn’t the world
Do you just think people are upset with you because they reply to your comments? I was merely saying that hatred for drake on the internet is not new and he’s still got plenty of people irl who don’t care. The projection is crazy outta you so imma let you hold it.
Yh no shit it isn’t new but it’s obviously gotten a lot bigger in recent months and obviously there are ppl who don’t care either way. that doesn’t take away from what I was saying though so i’ll ask what is the point you’re trying to make?
drake will continue to do his thing and no one will care by the time he rolls out another album, his sales will remain to do the same and he’s always done and people on the internet will continue to bitch.
If you account for the 2017 album sales changes with streaming, he’s as big as he ever was. The numbers have just been changed since his peak with views so that it requires a lot more streams to convert to album sales.
Reactionary threads like this is exactly why drake will go nowhere.
I mean it’s all speculation at the end of the day and we won’t know until the next album actually does come around. I think it would be stupid to dismiss this beef and think it will have absolutely no effect on his career going forward. I will be interested to see how his next album does and also if it’s of a higher quality than his last few albums.
Maybe you bro but rap wise hes fallen off for now - any rap conversation that you see hes seen to have fallen off
However I agree - his summer hits vibe will not fall off; at least for now; as you say case in point is his joints on Cabello’s album. They arent the best but anyone has to admit his summer vibes style is catchy and honestly sadly for Cabello I feel Drake did better than she did on that record. Time will tell how those pop records face against the likes of other pop stars like Sabrina Carpenter etc but pop hits wise Drake will likely always have it
That’s just the opinion of the internet, nobody in reality I know has stopped listening to him because of the beef. People thought it was entertainment for a week or two and that was it. The internet however thinks his career is over
Again i said maybe you, i could say the same thing but opposite, nobody I know in reality listen to him especially now
Those i know who have been listening to him it has been his pop stuff eg hotline bling
This Camila feature is going to do more harm than good. She is a DOCUMENTED racist. This only makes it look even worse lmao. Why do you think he was trying to stall this song from dropping? “Kendrick called this dude a colonizer and he goes and does 2 songs with a chick who calls people the N word and has a very racist history! Kendrick was right!” That’s 200% going to be the narrative. Her label can’t afford to eat the L, most of her budget probably went to those Drake features. But I’m sure they’re all scrambling because they know what’s about to come and it’s not a good look for her or Drake, because the Kendrick crowd is going to bring all her shit up she’s been trying to move on from just to drag Drake.
I honestly think this CC collab is a horrible move. They should’ve tried to shelve that shit indefinitely. It may have flown under the radar before this battle, but it’s going to be under a microscope now.
Not smart imo.
You don’t have to be white to be racist lol. When you are calling your own band mate the N word and the text get leaked that is a horrible look regardless of race. Then your mom doubled down on it….sheesh! Now it looks like Drake co-signs racist pop singers. Bad PR move in my humble opinion but aye, if that’s the hill he wants to die on…so be it.
If we're going off color of skin that's a weird argument. And race is broken down into social AND physical qualities so you can honestly argue either way. Her family is Colombian, so it's safe to call her colombian. By white I mean Caucasian, not the actual color white, because then we're lumping Asians into the white category.
It's not an argument, that's how it works. Think of it like this: Are Maria Montez and Sammy Sosa the same race because they're both Dominicans?
There are Colombians of color and Camila isn't one of them. She's a blanca, directly descended from Spanish Caucasian colonizers. If she's not "White" most of "White America" isn't.
Asian is a race, separate from Caucasian. Latino is not. Legally speaking.
First of all yall really like to drag this whole thing on the internet if one person does something a decade ago the person is still the same. She apologized and since then has had a really successful career, she dropped one of the hottest songs with young thug that year. I really don’t understand why at this point Chris brown gets the pass because “it happened all those years ago” but someone who did something around the same time doesn’t? Make it make sense. The internet police is fucking weird
To say it havent had any impact on his career is a massive understatement and sounds like some r/Drizzy type cope.
Sure, he will still be able to put out hits and have commercial succes’s here and there, but he wont ever be taken seriously in any rap GOAT debates again. His legacy will ultimately closer to attached to a pop artist than any form of MC and last but not least he is going to be clowned for being a PDF-file the rest of his life. Once allegations like that are put on you, Its pretty permanent.
The question should be if Kendrick Lamar will come back or is his sole purpose to diss Drake to sell some records.
Drake will be fine. He doesn’t have to diss anyone to be relevant.
He’s a pop act who comes in and pillages what’s hot for his own gain. He’ll be fine. Not to mention Universal has nearly half a billion dollars tied up in him; Universal is going to pimp that boy so hard over the next few years to recover that. You thought Drake ripping off everything under the sun was bad the first time around, just wait, it’s about to get a whole helluva lot worse the second time around.
Drake literally is the only artist with 100bill streams on Spotify and on top of that it’s drake. If you don’t like bro it is what it is but this will just be another grape juice stain for drake.
Try to get over it my guy. Kendrick won by calling man’s a ped and ignored commenting on him going at his girl like Canelo Alvarez . A win is a win but not all wins count the same.
And to add to this for how he acts to be full of morality he still is with Dre (who is a serial DA’er) and others on the pop out show some of who were literal pedos, talk about the irony.
This definitely did damage to him, especially the pedophilia part.
But, Drake has been one of the most polarising artists of our era, so, he'll be back. At the end of the day, the music industry is a numbers game, and as long as Drake drops, haters and fans alike will listen to it. He'll be back.
He'll be fine. Kendrick will be fine. We all understand that Drake just isn't someone who can go bar for bar with someone like Kendrick but at the same time, he doesn't need to do so to be successful. He's Drake. We're not expecting him to be some hyper conscious lyricist.
Drake’s core fans are still gonna buy his albums and bump his music. The people on this sub are not the ones who buy his music. Bottom line at the end of day Drake is biggest selling rap artists around and maybe next to Eminem ever. I am not saying he’s the best rapper far from it in my opinion but as far as hits and sales no one touches him.
Just like the end of a Marvel movie…Drake will return. He didn’t really go anywhere but on vacation. The fact that one man got this reaction out of so many people is saying something.
Only thing that’ll change is hopefully he’ll stop doing the weird shit with teenage girls, and he he’s going to be taken even less seriously in barbershop best rapper conversations.
He’ll still make hits and be Drake.
Bro get off reddit go outside u honestly think Drake needs to come back guy hit 100 billion streams that’s more than any artist in the world or ever in the history of music, clubs still play Drake radio still plays Drake you know who they aren’t bumping Kendrick and if they do it’s only 1 song. And sorry but the pedo allegations hold no wait when every single woman has come out to defend him you think cause a couple of no life keyboard warriors hate him so much they talk about him everyday Is gonna do anything to him lmaooo also to the reference tracks every single artist uses reference tracks it’s not ghost writing Quinton miller was credited for his songs so was everyone else and if u don’t believe look up biggie Jay z Beyoncé nas hell even Drake wrote for other people
I don't like the guy but he'll come back from this just fine. He'll continue to make shitty songs with the likes of Sexyy Red. I'm intrigued to see if the artists who dissed him and supported Kendrick will ever make songs with him again though.
Pouring your entire career into conscious music uplifting black ppl. Only for your biggest song to be about someone you hate
Denounces his opponent for being half white, but cheated on his half white BM with a white woman
Tried painting Drake as a pedo, but has DV allegations himself, and brought Dr Dre on stage who has actually been charged with the same shit he was trying to sling
Supposed to be #1 lyrically, fired a dud with the fake kid allegations lmao. Thats some punk shit
Reddit will give Kendrick a pass, but we should really be viewing both artists under the microscope. OP, you may be a kenny fan, they do weird thread like this all the time everywhere on reddit. Trying hard to move the public needle perception by 1 hair lmao
Flake will be fine in the mainstream, he’ll be fine in Europe/asian/africa/South America/ anywhere not in North America he’s gunna be just fine. In North America he may see a bit and I say *a bit* the smidgiest of smidges of dips in his “numbers” because he’s just lost a lot of respect from the hip-hop community as a whole, but we don’t make up the big big plays, he’s gunna be alright on the radio and he’ll be ok that way. But if shit goes further and anything is confirmed confirmed then who knows what happens. But his credibility in the streets so to say is gone.
He did better than most people thought and better than most people give him credit for, I won't hurt his career at all. In the long run it will help him.
Just depends on where you are I guess. He was definitely the underdog to everyone I know, I was very impressed with his performance up to the Heart and even think he won 6am vs family matters, but he was going up against one of the greatest rappers to ever live. The fact he even put up a fight is crazy impressive.
Family matters wasn’t against 6:16. It was against meet the grahams….and he definitely didn’t win that. He didn’t win against 6:16 because family matters was proven to be a bunch of bullshit lol. Saying he beats his girl and his best friend is his girls baby daddy…then both of those people are at the pop out cheering him on. Saying YG is his homie then YG is on stage dancing to a song clowning you. Flow wise family matters is nice, but the content aged horribly…therefore it takes away from the potency of the song itself.
But if you look at most major podcast etc, all of them were doubting Kendrick. Even the fans were doubting him when it took him long to respond. Everyone kept saying he was shook. I know you remember that.
Only win I’ll give him is he has one of the funniest lines in the battle in the metro shut your hoe ass up and make some drums. Or the Kendrick’s back is to the curb lol… actually he has a few funny lines. But A minnnnooooor will live in fucking Infamy. That shit has become its own thing at this point lol.
This battle is toxic as fuck. Diss bars, then a diss beat, then a diss concert. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a battle this fucking petty before. This is 100% the epitome of battling in the social media era. I loved it, i hope they both drop more tracks. I really don’t want it to end lmao
Got to get petty with it myself, a rapper friend of mine hired me to play bass at a gig, I suggested we play not like us cause the crowd would love it right now, his response “I’m team drake.” So I bought a replica of Kendrick’s hoodie from the pop out show and wrote Not Like Us on the back of it and wore it to the gig lol
Lmao! We had a bbq at my house for the pop out and while we were watching it the Drakes were on one side and the Kendrick’s were on the other…when not like us came on shit got obnoxious as fuck, i loved it lol. Needless to say some of the drizzles were in their feelings but its was all in fun. This battle definitely created some great memories for all of us fans.
People thought Drake was gonna win? I don't think that's true for people who know a lot about hip hop. I have respect for him as a lyricist and he still did much better than I expected but I think [K.Dot](http://K.Dot) took a huge lead after Not Like Us.
Well the battle was done after not like us, there was no lead to take…it was over. The battle really could’ve ended at meet the grahams, not like us was the head shot though. But yeah after euphoria dropped people still were saying “this ain’t enough Kendrick, you’re gonna need more than this to beat Drake” from push ups most of the media was saying Kendrick is shook and won’t respond. They all were saying Drake is him.
They’re singing a new tune now, but Drake was never the underdog.
Drake has a massive appeal to music fans that aren't traditional hip-hop fans, such as young womens. This always was his major strength. Those don't really care or know about the beef. He still has a massive catalogue running in various playlists. His feature with Camila Cabello will probably be successful.
I don't really think he lost hip-hop fans with this beef. The purists already stopped listening to him years ago. The purists already thought Kendrick Lamar to be a better rapper than Drake since many years so the beef never changed their perspective on him.
Hip-hop fans also let rappers be bad people: Kanye West had the most problematic takes possible regarding slavery or nazis but Carnival is the most listened rap song of 2024 on Spotify.
He’ll be fine. He’ll keep dropping hits and doing numbers. I think this’ll be a blemish on his image for quite some time though. A song calling him a pedophile went number 1, broke records previously set by him, and got everyone dancing to it. People are going to remember this for a long time.
He still got that top artist status because of his accomplishments through music. But culturally he dead.. Only thing he can do now is try to maintain his relevancy until he positions himself in a way he loses his bad image.
Lol no. Well at least he won't be cool in LA
Look, Kendrick gave him kind of an out. If Drake actually gives Pacs ring back, I think it might work
Drake is cooked homie. No one in LA will fuck with that dude, and like it or not, we run the entertainment industry
So...do the math. He's lucky Kendrick even gave him an out. It might make him look like a bitch when he does it but it'll also get him respect and open doors in Los Angeles
Drake makes fast food music, he’s like the McDonalds of rap. There’s a ton of it, it’s easily accessible and doesn’t require much thought. It can be super enjoyable and hit the spot. But there isn’t much substance or depth to it.
There will always be a place for it and a big market for it, but just because he’s streamed over a 100 billion burgers doesn’t mean it’s better than a Michelin star restaurant. And every once in awhile someone finds a rat in their bag or gets creeped on by the manager, but it keeps on rolling. Because people get hungry and are quick to let convenience trump all else.
Drake will be just fine This is similar to when Jay-Z and Nas had beef. Nas won the beef, Jay-Z is currently just fine and often voted best rapper ever by mainstream polls Drake will get teased and people on social media will comment Not Like Us lyrics in the comment section from time to time, but he'll be okay. He'll still sell, he'll still make number 1s.
It'll be exactly like what happened after Story of Adidon
Agree. Drake even held his own until The Heart Part 6, he did better than I thought he would
THP6 was actually good imo if drake should have dropped a banger in response instead of going cerebral , if he did then we would be still be in beef
Lol, y’all, this moron here thinks Drake went “cerebral” on THP6, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That’s not what I meant I meant he shout have tried to be anecdotal about all the jabs against him. . by cerebral I meant quite and precise . Not sure how to say it but cerebral wasn’t the right word for sure 💁🏽
THP6 was unmitigated trash wtf
At its lowest it was aight
I think you mean “at its best”, and even that is false. There’s no way to spin “im too famous to be a pedo”, completely misunderstanding Mother I Sober and “i don’t even want to diss you anymore” as anything other than pure garbage
Man the mother I sober shit was what really got me like bro you did NOT listen to that song HAHAHA
THP6 was terrible. Every point Drake made was poor or incorrect. "Too rich to be a pedo" - money and power is pretty much the only reason pedophile rings get away with things. Then claiming Kendrick is only saying this because he claimed he was assaulted himself in Mother I which is also blatantly incorrect. Not only incorrect but very insensitive and a stupid thing to say. I had second hand embarrassment for Drake listening to that song. That was Drake's answer to Not Like Us? It was game over.
Won't be half as bad. Pusha had a truth, Kenny had lies Even with Push's truth, Drake went on his biggest run OAT. Its gonna be a long hot summer for the NPC class
People asking if Drake can ever come back. Bro, come back from WHERE? He never went away. Go touch grass, I beg y'all, life isn't r/KendrickLamar. His shit is just as popular as it ever was. "He can't go to LA no more"... This isn't the 90s. He'll do sell-out shows over there in no time.
Y’all are seriously overthinking this sh*t…
He can't continue as usual. It All started with Meek. Meek took his artistic credibility away. Pusha exposed Drake's insecurities and messy personal life. Metro united Drake's biggest collaborators against him (and his source of cultural cache) Weeknd divided Toronto's streets against him. Kendrick, being the only artist truly big enough to actually smash Drake, took all of that and made Drake the poster boy for Culture Vultures and Industry Creeps. Drake ain't destroyed. He's still too big of a force to be completely "Ja Rule'd" but his death by a 1000 cuts has begun. And Drake's own deal is restricting him from freedom of maneuverability. Drake can actually reverse a lot of this if he changes his mindset. It will require: Drake to transition to a Big Homie, and actually tap in with both Toronto and Memphis, cities where he still has ties and some good will, and actually put people on without stealing from them. He needs hungry young artists of substance that will actually be successful because of him, not in spite of him. He'll need to quit the weird industry game of sleeping with everybody's girlfriends. He'll need to create an authentic sound for his city and push it. And maybe double down on his role as the bad guy a bit. Shit. Set up Kendrick's next show in Toronto. Flex some muscle. Make Chubbs earn his check.
Not gonna touch on a lot of this but the “he needs to create an authentic sound for his city” line is crazy.
Most importantly Aubrey needs to use his actual Canadian accent not his other fake accents..
Yeah but if he did that he would veer into a more authentic territory and that runs counter to his vulturing approach to everything.
Personally I don’t share the disdain for him stepping into an accent. On The Radar Freestyle, or any of his UK Drill songs are always crazy and it’s brought attention to a genre of hiphop that doesn’t get enough love in the states.
Maybe "create" was the wrong word. He needs to tap in with the actual rap scene in Toronto and introduce it to the world without cannibalizing it. I never been to LA, but can tell you what a "West Coast" beat sounds like, how they dress, what they sound like, the famous hoods, etc. Same with NY, ATL, Houston, Miami, etc. Drake never really painted a picture of Toronto for me. He needs to at least give us someone who can. There's gotta be some rapper from "The 6ix" that can really rep hard for that city and show me, some dude from Peoria, Illinois, how they operate and what they really sound like. Drake has basically been a chameleon his whole career.
"Drake never really painted a picture of Toronto for me. He needs to at least give us someone who can" That's crazy, Drake and 40 are like the YG Mustard of Toronto. Like Views is dedicated to Toronto
Drake mentioned Toronto alot. To me, I don't feel it was enough. Just how I feel, though.
I feel you. I don’t agree because I think there are answers to your questions, you just have to look. Toronto has their scene, their underground artists, culture, style and their champs. Personally, I’m in the states so it’s not common knowledge but if you tap into it, you’ll get what you’re looking for.
You are severely misunderstanding me. I have never said that Toronto doesn't have those things. I am saying: Drake has never bothered to share those things with the world. He has been jumping every other wave but his own. You keep acting like I'm denying their existence all together. But outside of Drake, Weeknd, Tory Lanez, and Kardinal Offishall, no Canadian has truly blown up in the States as far as rap is concerned.
No shit Toronto has its own scene, that was never in question. What the comment was saying is that Drake has never repped it to the fullest to make Toronto well known with his non Canadian fan base. Half the time you’d think he was Houston since he never stops talking about it or J Prince.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Drizzy/s/djod1B4QnZ How actual Toronto natives feel about that
Toronto can't tell an American who's promoted in America. Where's the Her Loss/WATTBA record with the above mentioned artists? He can go to Atlanta and make records like that with 21 and Future, but no one from his city. Most of those artists get a couple records and then the OVO Sweatshop treatment. None of them can stand alone without Drake and if they can (Weeknd), there's beef.
How do you keep missing the point?
Am I the only one who thinks Drake already has a signature sound and that very sound was adopted by Toronto? Can't lie it's been years since iv tapped into the Toronto scene but I remember around Views era it felt like they had a little bit Drake in them (no Diddy)
Don't forget Joe Budden passed the baton /s
Joe Budden actually helped Drake win a beef. Drake, using Budden's flow, won against some Toronto cat named Aristo. See: "Goodnight and Goodluck" and "Good Riddance"
What recovery? He’s already on Camila cabellos new album, and the beef won’t have any impact on his career. Nobody cares about the beef anymore shits done nobody I know care about it anymore or talks about it. We still listen to both artists like we always have
>What recovery? He’s already on Camila cabellos new album, and the beef won’t have any impact on his career. Ahh yes, noted hip hop artist Camila Cabello… Lmk when he starts working with dudes from Atlanta again…people are way too obsessed with the pedo shit when that wasn’t even the biggest allegation in terms of being a hip hop criminal. Kendrick called him a colonizer and rightfully so. Lmk when Drake is back in the studio with real respected artists/producers in hip hop. If Kendrick is actually what the culture is feeling then Drakes hip hop career is over. Drake the artist will always be fine and will always have the streaming numbers. But at this point he’s an artist, not a rapper not an emcee.
So if he works with black artists it’s he’s a colonizer but when he works with white artists it’s he can’t be taken seriously ok got it love the goalpost moving
Drake will definitely continue to work with 21 Savage, Lil Baby, Young Thug, Tay Keith, etc. What are you talking about?
Drake already worked with Tay Keith though.
I mean Drakes fallen from the 3rd most listened to artist on spotify to the 11th. For All The Dogs is and has been falling drastically lower and lower in the charts, and pretty much all the talk around Drake online is negative. I don’t think it’s ruined his career but I think the times where he’s pulling in the numbers he used to are likely over.
If that's his worst during the peak aftermath of the beef then he'll be fine. He already has 76 million monthly listeners and still doing numbers. Once he drops an album, he'll go back to where he was. Worst case scenario he downgrades to Chris Brown league. But I highly highly doubt that since he's already so big and there's no concrete court proof for the pedo stuff or victim allegations. Only way he actually falls off is if he retires or dies.
I mean we can only speculate but I highly doubt Drake will ever go back to where he was, he’ll still be huge definitely but I think people are just a bit bored of him. He hasn’t had a good project since 2017 and the albums all albums since then were either dead on arrival or got really stale really fast. I think he needs to put out a timeless classic like Take Care if he wants to get back to where he was.
You do realize the boy hasn’t dropped in months (album-wise), right?
You did not just call him the boy 💀 Also yes but look at the people above him on the top list, Rihanna who’s more or less retired, Em who’s dropped a single song. I personally don’t believe numbers reflect the music but dropping from 3 to 11 is a drastic step down and it’s undoubtedly in part due to the beef and the bad press he got during it.
And Drane had more streams than Em last time he dropped. 3 to 11 makes complete sense when you realize he’s only dropped 10M monthly listeners. Most of them have had huge drops (Billie, Em, Sabrina, Ariana, Post). The other ones are ones who have large attraction to older audiences (David Guetta, Coldplay) Weeknd and Taylor Swift are obvious. Taking those out of the way, the only outlier is Rihanna. She has multiple songs with a billion streams and is arguably as streamed as Drake, so it’s not surprising that she hovers around 70-80. But Drake was ahead of her for a while, and he’s only 6M behind her now. Nothing a slight surge in popularity won’t fix. Plus she’s full pop, a more streamed genre. And yeah, I called him the Boy. Anything wrong with that?
I agree but you can also look at websites which will show you the downward trends of Drakes listening, and let’s not pretend that Push Ups and Family Matters weren’t also huge drops. Nothing wrong with calling him the boy it’s just really weird thing to call a man you don’t know 🤷♂️
Fair enough, but that's one of the nicknames he prefers lol. I'll stick to Drizzy for this lmao. Push Ups and FM are still being heavily streamed every day. They dropped off Billboard, but that really doesn't have any impact on the Spotify charts. And that's two songs. Not every single Drake drops is going to be massively successful. If it was then I'd worry he's paying for streams. Nobody can accuse Drizzy of that one now
You know your “boy” is a 40 year old man, right?
Bro thinks he’s Peter Pan.
Bro really thought he had something with that. Yes I do. What's it to you?
Calling a damn near 40 year old man “the boy” lmao…yeah there’s definitely something wrong with that.
Cool. Thanks for your input 👍🏿
I mean if that does happen.. it is what it is. He had a good run, no shame in that. Happens to the best of them. He had talked about retiring or taking a step back from music eventually. Hopefully he gives us another album full of bangers before then
Guy hit 100 million streams but sure
Breaking streaming records really ain’t as impressive as people make it out to be. Streamings been mainstream for roughly 10 years meaning there’s hundreds of years worth of artists whose music would’ve easily achieved that if it were around in their eras. Drake was just in the right place at the right time.
Bro that’s a feat nobody will have for a long time don’t brush that off like it’s nothing cause if so then why has Kendrick hit those numbers
Because Kendrick isn't pop. He doesn't commonly do pop songs and songs with pop artists. Pop is the most popular genre. You'll never see Kendrick doing a song like 'one dance'. No one is saying Kendrick is going to out stream Drake from now on. Kendrick is a rapper who doesn't venture far from the hip-hop genre.
Maroon 5, Taylor Swift? what did you smoke?
2 features out of 176
Why is Kendrick’s name being mentioned 😭 Yes it’s obviously a great feat but let’s not act like nobody else in history wouldn’t have accomplished that if streaming was around in there era. MJ, The Beatles, Elvis, Eminem and countless others would’ve all undoubtedly hit that record by now so I stand by streaming records aren’t that impressive and breaking and setting them is just a right place right time thing.
It is a 100 **Billion** streams, not 100 million. Assuming that you are talking about Drake's world record?
But guess what online don’t equal what’s happening in reality. The internet is an echo chamber for everyone to share a singular opinion
Yes but the numbers on spotify reflect the people who are listening to the music. I still listen to quite a few Drake songs because I think they’re good songs and the internets opinions on him as a person true or false don’t impact my ability to enjoy his music. However, for some people that’s different and that’s clearly enough people to make him fall so far down the spotify charts (He’ll probably climb up again though I doubt to as high as he once was).
Drake - 75.4m monthly listeners Kendrick - 72.6m Monthly listeners
Drake - 470 Songs on Spotify Kendrick - 228 Songs on Spotify
I mean if you gonna move the goalposts then no point in even a debate.
How’s it moving the goal posts may I ask? You created an irrelevant point bringing up Kendrick who wasn’t really a part of the discussion.
I mean this post is obviously about the beef Drake and Kendrick had so obviously that’s what you’re talking about
My point was Drake is losing monthly listeners at quite a fast rate and it just so happens to be after a huge rap beef that he lost with horrible allegations brought against him. Your point was Drake has more monthly listeners than Kendrick. That’s not relevant to the conversation.
drake has been eternally hated online since 2018. FATD is no different than his other post Spotify change albums. You people need to touch grass and realize the world isn’t the internet and the internet isn’t the world
What does this even mean 😭 people also hate Drake in real life and it’s reflected by just how much his numbers falling
brotha drake can release a soundtrack of him farting to straight out of Compton and it would go platinum. Touch grass, no one cares anymore.
You cannot be telling someone to touch grass whilst you’re sat at home getting angry at a comment on reddit 😭
Do you just think people are upset with you because they reply to your comments? I was merely saying that hatred for drake on the internet is not new and he’s still got plenty of people irl who don’t care. The projection is crazy outta you so imma let you hold it.
Yh no shit it isn’t new but it’s obviously gotten a lot bigger in recent months and obviously there are ppl who don’t care either way. that doesn’t take away from what I was saying though so i’ll ask what is the point you’re trying to make?
drake will continue to do his thing and no one will care by the time he rolls out another album, his sales will remain to do the same and he’s always done and people on the internet will continue to bitch. If you account for the 2017 album sales changes with streaming, he’s as big as he ever was. The numbers have just been changed since his peak with views so that it requires a lot more streams to convert to album sales. Reactionary threads like this is exactly why drake will go nowhere.
I mean it’s all speculation at the end of the day and we won’t know until the next album actually does come around. I think it would be stupid to dismiss this beef and think it will have absolutely no effect on his career going forward. I will be interested to see how his next album does and also if it’s of a higher quality than his last few albums.
Happens to all the greats. He’ll be back with 85+ million followers once he drops something
Maybe you bro but rap wise hes fallen off for now - any rap conversation that you see hes seen to have fallen off However I agree - his summer hits vibe will not fall off; at least for now; as you say case in point is his joints on Cabello’s album. They arent the best but anyone has to admit his summer vibes style is catchy and honestly sadly for Cabello I feel Drake did better than she did on that record. Time will tell how those pop records face against the likes of other pop stars like Sabrina Carpenter etc but pop hits wise Drake will likely always have it
That’s just the opinion of the internet, nobody in reality I know has stopped listening to him because of the beef. People thought it was entertainment for a week or two and that was it. The internet however thinks his career is over
Again i said maybe you, i could say the same thing but opposite, nobody I know in reality listen to him especially now Those i know who have been listening to him it has been his pop stuff eg hotline bling
Okay so let’s agree to disagree and say that people have their own opinions on this matter and it doesn’t matter nor should it matter to anyone.
This Camila feature is going to do more harm than good. She is a DOCUMENTED racist. This only makes it look even worse lmao. Why do you think he was trying to stall this song from dropping? “Kendrick called this dude a colonizer and he goes and does 2 songs with a chick who calls people the N word and has a very racist history! Kendrick was right!” That’s 200% going to be the narrative. Her label can’t afford to eat the L, most of her budget probably went to those Drake features. But I’m sure they’re all scrambling because they know what’s about to come and it’s not a good look for her or Drake, because the Kendrick crowd is going to bring all her shit up she’s been trying to move on from just to drag Drake. I honestly think this CC collab is a horrible move. They should’ve tried to shelve that shit indefinitely. It may have flown under the radar before this battle, but it’s going to be under a microscope now. Not smart imo.
I’d like to say that she is not white tho 😂
You don’t have to be white to be racist lol. When you are calling your own band mate the N word and the text get leaked that is a horrible look regardless of race. Then your mom doubled down on it….sheesh! Now it looks like Drake co-signs racist pop singers. Bad PR move in my humble opinion but aye, if that’s the hill he wants to die on…so be it.
In both American legal terms and LatAm tradition she is absolutely white. Culturally Colombian, ethnically Latino, racially White.
If we're going off color of skin that's a weird argument. And race is broken down into social AND physical qualities so you can honestly argue either way. Her family is Colombian, so it's safe to call her colombian. By white I mean Caucasian, not the actual color white, because then we're lumping Asians into the white category.
It's not an argument, that's how it works. Think of it like this: Are Maria Montez and Sammy Sosa the same race because they're both Dominicans? There are Colombians of color and Camila isn't one of them. She's a blanca, directly descended from Spanish Caucasian colonizers. If she's not "White" most of "White America" isn't. Asian is a race, separate from Caucasian. Latino is not. Legally speaking.
Well it’s out now and I don’t see it put under any microscope. You guys are thinking way too deep
Shit just dropped lol. Gotta give the net time to warm up first
First of all yall really like to drag this whole thing on the internet if one person does something a decade ago the person is still the same. She apologized and since then has had a really successful career, she dropped one of the hottest songs with young thug that year. I really don’t understand why at this point Chris brown gets the pass because “it happened all those years ago” but someone who did something around the same time doesn’t? Make it make sense. The internet police is fucking weird

To say it havent had any impact on his career is a massive understatement and sounds like some r/Drizzy type cope. Sure, he will still be able to put out hits and have commercial succes’s here and there, but he wont ever be taken seriously in any rap GOAT debates again. His legacy will ultimately closer to attached to a pop artist than any form of MC and last but not least he is going to be clowned for being a PDF-file the rest of his life. Once allegations like that are put on you, Its pretty permanent.
The question should be if Kendrick Lamar will come back or is his sole purpose to diss Drake to sell some records. Drake will be fine. He doesn’t have to diss anyone to be relevant.
He’s a pop act who comes in and pillages what’s hot for his own gain. He’ll be fine. Not to mention Universal has nearly half a billion dollars tied up in him; Universal is going to pimp that boy so hard over the next few years to recover that. You thought Drake ripping off everything under the sun was bad the first time around, just wait, it’s about to get a whole helluva lot worse the second time around.
Drake literally is the only artist with 100bill streams on Spotify and on top of that it’s drake. If you don’t like bro it is what it is but this will just be another grape juice stain for drake. Try to get over it my guy. Kendrick won by calling man’s a ped and ignored commenting on him going at his girl like Canelo Alvarez . A win is a win but not all wins count the same.
And to add to this for how he acts to be full of morality he still is with Dre (who is a serial DA’er) and others on the pop out show some of who were literal pedos, talk about the irony.
>Kendrick won by calling man’s a ped 💀cope harder
You guys throw around the word pedophile so casually as if your uncle didn't already show you the real meaning of the word.
Yo 💀
Bro he not died, yall so extra, he a hitmakers
How many more posts about drake recovering, what Drake is gonna do, how will he comeback? He will do fine, just like he always did
This definitely did damage to him, especially the pedophilia part. But, Drake has been one of the most polarising artists of our era, so, he'll be back. At the end of the day, the music industry is a numbers game, and as long as Drake drops, haters and fans alike will listen to it. He'll be back.
There are still plenty of woo girls who will buy anything he releases.
He'll be fine. Kendrick will be fine. We all understand that Drake just isn't someone who can go bar for bar with someone like Kendrick but at the same time, he doesn't need to do so to be successful. He's Drake. We're not expecting him to be some hyper conscious lyricist.
Meth? Adderal? Which one wrote this?
Come back from what?
Drake’s core fans are still gonna buy his albums and bump his music. The people on this sub are not the ones who buy his music. Bottom line at the end of day Drake is biggest selling rap artists around and maybe next to Eminem ever. I am not saying he’s the best rapper far from it in my opinion but as far as hits and sales no one touches him.
Just like the end of a Marvel movie…Drake will return. He didn’t really go anywhere but on vacation. The fact that one man got this reaction out of so many people is saying something.
He's not going anywhere. The thing about him is that he's been the top for so long that even taking a slight dip is noticable.
Only thing that’ll change is hopefully he’ll stop doing the weird shit with teenage girls, and he he’s going to be taken even less seriously in barbershop best rapper conversations. He’ll still make hits and be Drake.
Duh
He's still going to sell millions of records because people don't really care or pay attention
Comeback from mid? Dude is going to do mid for the rest of his career and people will eat it up.
Bro get off reddit go outside u honestly think Drake needs to come back guy hit 100 billion streams that’s more than any artist in the world or ever in the history of music, clubs still play Drake radio still plays Drake you know who they aren’t bumping Kendrick and if they do it’s only 1 song. And sorry but the pedo allegations hold no wait when every single woman has come out to defend him you think cause a couple of no life keyboard warriors hate him so much they talk about him everyday Is gonna do anything to him lmaooo also to the reference tracks every single artist uses reference tracks it’s not ghost writing Quinton miller was credited for his songs so was everyone else and if u don’t believe look up biggie Jay z Beyoncé nas hell even Drake wrote for other people
I don't like the guy but he'll come back from this just fine. He'll continue to make shitty songs with the likes of Sexyy Red. I'm intrigued to see if the artists who dissed him and supported Kendrick will ever make songs with him again though.
Pouring your entire career into conscious music uplifting black ppl. Only for your biggest song to be about someone you hate Denounces his opponent for being half white, but cheated on his half white BM with a white woman Tried painting Drake as a pedo, but has DV allegations himself, and brought Dr Dre on stage who has actually been charged with the same shit he was trying to sling Supposed to be #1 lyrically, fired a dud with the fake kid allegations lmao. Thats some punk shit Reddit will give Kendrick a pass, but we should really be viewing both artists under the microscope. OP, you may be a kenny fan, they do weird thread like this all the time everywhere on reddit. Trying hard to move the public needle perception by 1 hair lmao
Flake will be fine in the mainstream, he’ll be fine in Europe/asian/africa/South America/ anywhere not in North America he’s gunna be just fine. In North America he may see a bit and I say *a bit* the smidgiest of smidges of dips in his “numbers” because he’s just lost a lot of respect from the hip-hop community as a whole, but we don’t make up the big big plays, he’s gunna be alright on the radio and he’ll be ok that way. But if shit goes further and anything is confirmed confirmed then who knows what happens. But his credibility in the streets so to say is gone.
He did better than most people thought and better than most people give him credit for, I won't hurt his career at all. In the long run it will help him.
Bro most people thought he was going to win. I don’t know where this “he was the underdog” narrative came from.
Just depends on where you are I guess. He was definitely the underdog to everyone I know, I was very impressed with his performance up to the Heart and even think he won 6am vs family matters, but he was going up against one of the greatest rappers to ever live. The fact he even put up a fight is crazy impressive.
Family matters wasn’t against 6:16. It was against meet the grahams….and he definitely didn’t win that. He didn’t win against 6:16 because family matters was proven to be a bunch of bullshit lol. Saying he beats his girl and his best friend is his girls baby daddy…then both of those people are at the pop out cheering him on. Saying YG is his homie then YG is on stage dancing to a song clowning you. Flow wise family matters is nice, but the content aged horribly…therefore it takes away from the potency of the song itself. But if you look at most major podcast etc, all of them were doubting Kendrick. Even the fans were doubting him when it took him long to respond. Everyone kept saying he was shook. I know you remember that.
I guess, wanted to give homie at least one win for effort
Only win I’ll give him is he has one of the funniest lines in the battle in the metro shut your hoe ass up and make some drums. Or the Kendrick’s back is to the curb lol… actually he has a few funny lines. But A minnnnooooor will live in fucking Infamy. That shit has become its own thing at this point lol.
The metro and weeknd bars were both absolutely hysterical, neither of them could ever come at drake ever again lmao
This battle is toxic as fuck. Diss bars, then a diss beat, then a diss concert. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a battle this fucking petty before. This is 100% the epitome of battling in the social media era. I loved it, i hope they both drop more tracks. I really don’t want it to end lmao
Got to get petty with it myself, a rapper friend of mine hired me to play bass at a gig, I suggested we play not like us cause the crowd would love it right now, his response “I’m team drake.” So I bought a replica of Kendrick’s hoodie from the pop out show and wrote Not Like Us on the back of it and wore it to the gig lol
Lmao! We had a bbq at my house for the pop out and while we were watching it the Drakes were on one side and the Kendrick’s were on the other…when not like us came on shit got obnoxious as fuck, i loved it lol. Needless to say some of the drizzles were in their feelings but its was all in fun. This battle definitely created some great memories for all of us fans.
People thought Drake was gonna win? I don't think that's true for people who know a lot about hip hop. I have respect for him as a lyricist and he still did much better than I expected but I think [K.Dot](http://K.Dot) took a huge lead after Not Like Us.
Well the battle was done after not like us, there was no lead to take…it was over. The battle really could’ve ended at meet the grahams, not like us was the head shot though. But yeah after euphoria dropped people still were saying “this ain’t enough Kendrick, you’re gonna need more than this to beat Drake” from push ups most of the media was saying Kendrick is shook and won’t respond. They all were saying Drake is him. They’re singing a new tune now, but Drake was never the underdog.
Drake has a massive appeal to music fans that aren't traditional hip-hop fans, such as young womens. This always was his major strength. Those don't really care or know about the beef. He still has a massive catalogue running in various playlists. His feature with Camila Cabello will probably be successful. I don't really think he lost hip-hop fans with this beef. The purists already stopped listening to him years ago. The purists already thought Kendrick Lamar to be a better rapper than Drake since many years so the beef never changed their perspective on him. Hip-hop fans also let rappers be bad people: Kanye West had the most problematic takes possible regarding slavery or nazis but Carnival is the most listened rap song of 2024 on Spotify.
And hip-hop purists are outdated and look goofy, especially with Kendrick incorporating other genres into his own music 😂
He’ll be fine. He’ll keep dropping hits and doing numbers. I think this’ll be a blemish on his image for quite some time though. A song calling him a pedophile went number 1, broke records previously set by him, and got everyone dancing to it. People are going to remember this for a long time.
Quite some time? Try the rest of his career lol. No one will ever forget
A blemish lol? This is a keloid scar across his face.
He still got that top artist status because of his accomplishments through music. But culturally he dead.. Only thing he can do now is try to maintain his relevancy until he positions himself in a way he loses his bad image.
Who?
I hope not. And by that, I mean I hope he goes out like every other rapper that only white people listen to.
Lol no. Well at least he won't be cool in LA Look, Kendrick gave him kind of an out. If Drake actually gives Pacs ring back, I think it might work Drake is cooked homie. No one in LA will fuck with that dude, and like it or not, we run the entertainment industry So...do the math. He's lucky Kendrick even gave him an out. It might make him look like a bitch when he does it but it'll also get him respect and open doors in Los Angeles
Another one of these posts lol Drake is going nowhere
Drake makes fast food music, he’s like the McDonalds of rap. There’s a ton of it, it’s easily accessible and doesn’t require much thought. It can be super enjoyable and hit the spot. But there isn’t much substance or depth to it. There will always be a place for it and a big market for it, but just because he’s streamed over a 100 billion burgers doesn’t mean it’s better than a Michelin star restaurant. And every once in awhile someone finds a rat in their bag or gets creeped on by the manager, but it keeps on rolling. Because people get hungry and are quick to let convenience trump all else.
Of course he is the biggest rap artist right now. He will just go number 1 again. A lot of these things are just alligations
Eminem is the biggest right now (technically Post Malone is if you want to count him, I really don’t)
Comeback from what lol
