beyonce is the closest all around

drake is culturally and musically

Drake is close culturally and musically? What? Drake is nowhere near MJ culturally lol I don’t even gotta speak on the music.

Factssssssassss

When has Drake made people faint for being on stage for 10 seconds

Inb4 they post that video of shorty forcing herself to cry to mob ties

Drake is closer than Beyonce lol, her music isn't even the biggest pop of her era.

I think that's what a new MJ would have to be. Cos you could argue Prince was a better musician, artist and live performer in the 80s, but nobody dominated like MJ. They have to be the biggest artist.

21 was probably the closest thing in the 2010s to a Thriller moment tbh

whatttttt I never seen this

21 Savage?

Lmaooooooooo

YOU MEANT ADELE

Im so embarrassed

Hes to talentless

Kanye and beyonce comes the closest

Kanye first 6 albums are classic no one can top that album run

There could be another Prince tbf. It's just the discipline he had to master everything he did that would be hard for some artists. A lot of artists would have stopped at a couple things.

I feel culturally Beyoncé is closer because of her goddess like status. She get extra points for being on her stuff when it come to social issues. What she’s doing for the black community is amazing. And musically I don’t think he come anywhere near MJ. He dropped a couple dud albums in a row. I’d put Bruno or Weeknd up there before Drake. Adele number wise is the best answer

No

Drake stans saying drake delusional af

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WTF

That s*** is so forced it’s cringe lmao

Theres real Drake songs to get emotional to as well like wtf

Now that you think about it, it’s lowkey weird how Drake stans make these absurd comparisons knowing that people are gonna s*** on drake

I feel like they get a rise out of black men getting s*** on, again this proves it’s all a circus to people

i don't think everyone feels like b is on her social issues like that tbh, she's empowering and inspirational for people but a lot of that new project was seen as tasteless by some people and if you look at where she's at politically, she's probably to the right of the people who make her out to be where they're at.

Kendrick Lamar has made the defining social political music of this decade not Beyonce imo. His music is more popular than hers in the 2010s too. On his biggest albums MJ wasn't that political anyway. He's not in that bob dylan, chuck d, m.i.a. protest music tradition.

Drake isn't political at all, but i don't think that was a big part of MJ lyrically anyway, people project it onto stars. Drake's the sound of radio, the sound of streaming and has a vision for global music, so i think he's closest.

Adele dropped the biggest billboard 200 album oat years before the streaming era, so musically she's the only one coming close tbh. Hasn't 21 done like 35 million sales worldwide
