What? Are you trying to suggest that the highly knowledgeable KTT2 industry experts know less than Drake, his team and billion dollar music labels? Outrageous thing to say

Difference is that I know what I am talking about when I decide to speak on someone's commercial performances. Most of yall try to speak with confidence on these topics despite knowing f*** all.
He could still get bars off about how he has people that’ll protect him if it comes to street s***. He didn’t have to start rapping about how he’s willing to shoot someone.
That’s where he started looking funny
Like Em said, “I don’t even carry guns no more I don’t got to, got undercover cops that’ll legally pop you”
To be real man I never did one crime
But none of my brothers can caption that line

To keep it real ( I ) wasnt really gangsta til now
You and drake sxn is clowning any other multi millionaire rapper that says this line tml lol
Most ppl don’t like inauthentic rappers that try too hard. Only his stans fall for drake’s corny mob boss facade
Fair enough
But I'll say this: him having a popstar image and the crossover appeal to make some s*** like "Mob Ties" without any of his peers questioning him kept the nigga afloat. He had guys to insulate him. The image played a big role in that (you don't get a song like Duppy without this).
I would fully agree that the street image kept him going in the 2020s. It was always silly to me but people ate that stuff up

Of course Zack, you're never wrong
His only two crossover music moments culturally were from saccharine r&b-rap love songs. One of those moments owe their relevance to highlighting how nerdy and awkward Drake is and how that’s entertaining. The song that secured his first and only million first week (852k from the what the Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish buyers would be today) was a saccharine r&b-dancehall love song. This is also his most streamed song, 8 years and a God’s Plan later. He didn’t come into his own as an artist or true cultural force until he put the image of the pathetic, drunken young bachelor in his feelings about ex-women who croons about it front and center - with a new r&b singer look to match. This is literally the cover of his first and only Grammy award for Rap Album of the Year. His first #1 was as a feature on a Rihanna love song. His first #1 as a lead act? Well…lol
Anyhow, the street stuff streams pretty well so there’s that!
He saw the writing on the wall. Drill was taking the game by storm and that soft image he had was only being magnified he would’ve been childish gambino status had he never switched up

Exactly. I was always good with him having those type of bars. Like no s*** he’s going to have people that’ll shoot you for him
a ton of amazing music was created as a result tho so we can’t be too mad at it
If Drake goes street and the quality of music we're getting is If You're Reading This It's Too Late then I'm okay with that decision every time
He had to pretend like he is mafia boss so he could captivate the white suburban fans
He would never been huge as he is without them white kids fantasizing about the gangster life
not true at all lmao
