Like it or not Drake is music biz's number one supplier

you misread.

the fact that they barely drop music is why the bar is set so low

their projects set the bar higher not lower

Yea
But u shouldn't expect niggas that hate ak to actually watch

can let the off season wait slide since he was very prevalent on ROTD3 in 2019 with Under The Sun, Sacrifice, Down Bad, 1993, etc, wasn’t just a quick cameo appearance

and 2020 obviously was a free off year for most

We as a community need to come together and make sure our brothers stop making Akademiks threads on this platform

OP's life is more worth than being OP of akademiks thread

Is Frank Ocean taking his time or does he not think he can top Blonde

This only proves that music quality is declining in rap

If a genre is so bad that we have to call out to the vets to drop then something is wrong

Akademiks with another trash take more like.

If you think dropping every 2-3 years is too long your brain is fried. I’m not trying to sound f***ed up but people used to wait upwards 5 years for some releases back in the 90s.

Peaked with Channel Orange tbh

Never really enjoyed that album personally but I know the writing on there is great

Kendrick took 5 years and the same thing happened anyway

Agreed. the point about the og’s being active in the early 2010s is an important factor that doesn’t get talked about enough

Art takes time. This is only an issue because tiktok and short form content got everybody attention span on the fritz and hungry for more more more now now now

fast food is fast for a reason

Big Sean in the thumbnail

yeah but he still gives off a vibe like he's one foot out the door after this next album

unfortunate cuz IMO he's been the real MVP in the last 5 years

in reality he probably scrapped the OG (multiple times) then made the project we finally got within a year of its release

Drake's the only one whos main focus is dropping music TBH

And Travis

They both dropped almost every year of the 2010s

So because these rappers don’t drop this makes the new artist mid??

THE REAL QUESTION IS who's the last rapper that seemed like he had the potential to compete with the top-dogs?

I can't think of anyone besides Chance the Rapper in 2016 (before the big day)

Travis too but he's less bar-focused

it’s still no rush for a new frank album if we being completely real

Blonde is still just as relevant as it was back then and still getting the same amount of streams, it’s truly lived through generations

dababy had a real run in 2019-2020 i can’t lie, strictly talking commercial success wise

Bruh it's almost been 10 years

Nah artists should take more time b/n music lowkey the dropping multiple times every year is what's f***ing the mainstream up

"Drake gotta change the F to a 4. Cmon. We can't have the abbreviation being Fat D"
