Things that are irrelevant now because Drake fans say so:

Pulitzers
Grammys
Headlining Festivals
Super Bowl Half Time performances
Rap battles that you win with a bop. (Kenny vs Drake)
Rap battles that you don’t win with a bop (Pusha vs Drake)
Videos of predatory behavior where victim says it’s ok
A number one record on billboard
A joint tour.
Feature verses where you diss another rapper
Albums that get critical acclaim from white people
Albums they don’t personally hear “outside”

Genuinely gotta be slow if you don’t think he got his initial fame from being on one of the longest running n most popular Canadian shows he starred in for almost a decade.

Nah we were all there

Wayne was in jail and Drake was getting massively promoted and boosted through 106 & Park as well as Cole since f***ing 2007 gang

Nigga headlines was the video of the day/week for like 6 months

So much so he was still doing 106 & Park takeovers all the way up to Nothing Was the Same. And that’s just some of the MAJOR industry love and push Drake got to start his career. Idk where this revionism is coming from

This is how they were talking about Drake, in the industry, in 2007

with ONE bubbling hot song

Drake’s breakthrough single, “Replacement Girl” featuring Trey Songz is currently being pushed across all major formats (radio, television and internet) and is garnering critical and mainstream love. The video premiered on BET’s 106 & Park last Monday (April 30th, 2007) as “New Joint of the Day” and is currently in the running for one of the coveted top 10 spots on the 106 & Park countdown.

These Drake stans kill me cause they don’t even be honest with their own goats come up

when dot brings everyone out to perform say wassup

It's faster to just say Kendrick's accolades don't matter only inflated streams matter (but only if they aren't Kendrick's)

They weren’t even propping him next to Wayne until Young Money’s run and when he started doing them loosie features with Wayne late 2008 like ransom and s***

The nigga used an old Wayne verse on Comeback Season replacement girl was his first pop off. They need to stop it

nah fr this was also the same time the "old guard" started calling out the bias and drake in general.

it must kill drake stans inside that Kendrick beat Drake with a smash hit song

Actually, the biggest factor of Wayne and Drake’s relationship as Young Money’s run was ending was Miss Me which is pretty much Wayne handing the baton to Drake cause it was setup that Drake would hold it down while Wayne was in jail, the video deadass premiered on, you guessed it, 106 & Park, from where he ran away with it

But prior to that, for damn near 3 years and even after Wayne went to jail, he was the over pushed Drake that the oldheads couldn’t stop the industry from pushing. Stop it

I’m not gone let them twist s*** we all lived through man, that s*** is sad

pedovos itt

look yall he crying about kendrick again 😂😂😂😂

‘Others’ omg! I’m guessing it’ll be a New Orleans legend right? 👀

Adding SZA to this is insane

I'm cool on the show

@Avalanche went out worse than his man Cole did smh

Drake stans talking about gassed industry planted rappers

Nigga came up under prime Wayne and got washed in back to back battles.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

This all you got? Just admit, Kendrick is the industry darling. You clearly can’t substantiate otherwise.

I never said he wasn’t an industry darling. I said he isn’t any more or less of an industry darling than any other big artist signed to a major label

Kendrick doesn’t have some advantage that Drake doesn’t have. As a matter of fact he has chosen in specific times of his career to do what’s not financially beneficial for his career.

Imagine you making GKMC, DAMN and TPAB back to back to back and then they are comparing you to a nigga like Drake because of numbers.

He simply is better at making music and at rapping. And we saw that last year. Drake is incredible but when he stands next to a generational talent, he looks and acts normal.

I agree with you but even when he pivoted from GKMC to TPAB he received unanimous praise form almost every publication and award show.

The problem I have is people like Wally trying to act like there is some ulterior motive behind him being critically acclaimed beyond just the most simple explanation that people think he makes great music

the beef left me thinking drake doesn't even like rap.
