So you’re saying wants and needs and these random Instagram drops are the same in promo?
I’d say about the same, I know dropping on Ig first puts it at a disadvantage but the fact is, it’s Drake, it gets promoted on social media regardless and millions of people are aware he’s dropped.
If you want to get into the timing of his career and all that s*** then yes that’s different
what’s the point in dropping these i’m genuinely confused
Me too. Drake is typically not just dropping randomly like this.
Honestly find it crazy of how much music he’s released now that he’s been declining from his peak. The Take Care to NWTS drought is what he needs but probably too late at this point.
What promo did a song like Wants & Needs get? It was dropped in a 3 pack just like these
Don’t think he’s needed promo to drop a hit for awhile now
I think the factors for that drop that were a lot different than now. He was probably at his most liked since summer 15/16. He was on a crazy run with DLDT, LNCL, No Guidance, Greece, Popstar and he had the Nike campaign attached to Scary Hours 2
Drake run it up brother lol
Keep dropping hits bc my summer has been lit so far and I couldn’t be more grateful

I guess so yeah, it’s up seems to be doing well so surprised no push from him there. I still see this all as a f*** you to the label
And looking forward to the winter
He and PND dropping soon. October is his month for dropping music. I wouldn't be surprised, if he releases his album on the same day as Kendra.
What if drake is pulling a frank ocean ?
Like he’s dropping his album in cuts that are free for the public
And after so many free drops he turns in all of them to UMG as his final album lol
If he does that he need to fire everyone around him

wants & needs success is kinda unheard of. non singles with no music video etc is rare.
They were also way better songs than 1st 100 gigs.

It is a f*** you to Spotify just think about who has keep they lights on for all these years

Why would he have beef with Spotify?

Boosting of NLU and not mentioning his accomplishments. Can’t remember which streaming record he broke or re broke recently lol but they never posted anything about it
That’s not what I’m saying
and I can easily pull an example just like that with GKMC & TPAB
But to say dropping a house album where you do the same singing vocal style as always, as your 10th album into your well established career, was as big as a risk is revisionist. He dropped it right after CLB then when it didn’t perform up to standards and got criticized, he followed up right away with Her Loss which is what “the people” wanted. While it is a departure from his usual sound, you can easily forget HNVM exists in the context of drakes career. It was treated as a side project.
Dropping an experimental jazz rap album 3 years after hip-hop starter pack GKMC is a way bigger risk
"same vocal style as always" is generational hating lol cause it's flat out wrong, there's at least 3 songs on HNVM with vocals that you wont find anything close on CLB/Scorpion/Views. Even crazier because Kendrick's vocals on TPAB are way closer to GKMC than Drake's on HNVM compared to CLB etc
I agree in terms of the gap/risk it was a bigger risk for Kendrick though, my point is in terms of sound it was a massive departure for Drake & it's why so many hated it. I don't remember seeing a superstar artist have an album get so panned by so many of their fans in the last 10+ years honestly, there's a reason for that
Ehh that's crazy to me tbh, TPAB & GKMC really aren't that crazy different sonically at all to me, in terms of subject matter sure, but lets be real the majority of people aren't listening for subject matter
HNVM is way more left vs CLB than TPAB is v GKMC imo
@edumist this is the wildest take I’ve seen on this website all year

Idk what he expected them to do, they’re going to push anything to make them $
They got It’s Up as the first song on Rap Caviar right now
