He was a streaming giant that had numbers comparable to Post Malone and Drake

And he had only been in the game for 2 years

Juice was on the down turn commercially before his death.

He was on the downturn, his last album had flopped and he was smuggling d**** in on planes just to get by. Don't let anybody tell you different.

Same. Especially with Sicko Mode and HITR but there's just something holding Travis back that I can't quite put into words.

What’s industry about Drake being a guy who studies hip hop and knows more about it than probably half of ktt combined?

He’s following foot steps of some of the greats atm

Travis doesn’t have a personality and even though we like to pretend his music is safe, whatever it is, it’s not safe enough to take Drake’s spot

You are welcome

Yes and no

Look at 2010 and the decade was starting with a whole different tier of superstars. Kanye and Hov were running the game, Lil Wayne had an empire with two of the most promising young talents. Basically the superstars had proven themselves for the decade. Wayne and Ye pretty much cementing themselves at the top of the game for years and along the way had amassed great talent groups below them. Then ofc Rick Ross and MMG really started to take off so pretty much 3 massive groups with multiple stars on the roster and Drake was already destined for greatness everyone could tell.

Now out of the 2010s there are two names which defined the decade and they are Future and Drake. However Drake has still failed to establish a truly massive and talented roster of protégés. Future is in the same boat. The two are working on their second collab which still won’t compare to WTT. Basically while they managed to be artistic leaders, they have not managed to become business leaders. The only other rappers left in the “superstar” category are Kendrick who is off doing his own stuff too and J Cole who is pretty much a niche artist.

Then there are a small group of rappers a tier below but still undeniable stars from the decade, Young Thug, Uzi, and Travis Scott. Of these artists only Travis has actually tried to start something as a business man and it’s only just come around. Maybe he manages to break a star but it doesn’t seem likely.

The rap game is no longer a hierarchy with the king pins and minions. It is now an ocean of creative talent

Interesting take

You ever wonder why Drake has never took other rappers under his wings like Ye and Cole or even Thug?

no i’m talking about everyone coming up

drake is the one who isn’t industry

You are welcome

? Drake has signed guys like Makkonen and tries with PND, Drake always looked for guys that could match his sound or complement his style.

But anyways, the only way an artist takes over Drake is if they follow in Future’s footsteps but what Future did was expand and transform his style artistically in a way that not many artists do by their 5th or 6th project plus Future’s whole aesthetic and creative outlet was perfect for that kind of change. Of all the artists left, maybe Young Thug could do something special, or maybe Lil Uzi, but Young Thug has the right style to really expand beyond and level up like Future

if we’re talking only charts then he’s gonna get dethroned by post malone real soon if not already
