everywhere outside in nyc smells like someone’s grilling something in the vicinity

He brought back edginess which was something that was missing when he came out and dj drama but his music ain’t impactful well it is but to ever be considered something top 10 or even brought up with top 50

It ain’t all about the emotions lol it’s not peak drake musically. Elevate is pretty half baked compared to actual peak drake which has better production than that. And I ain’t say it wasn’t close but it’s not peak

You say all this but if I defended another artist by saying “oh there’s so much gratitude and honesty” y’all would be like “but you can’t play that outside” lol. That s*** alone does not make it peak drake

Emotionless was kind of corny to me and is mostly forgotten. March 14th maybe I’ll give you. And I think Is There More, IMF, After Dark, Can’t Take a Joke, and more are peak drake but the others nah. There’s a good amount of peak drake on the album but there’s a lot of joints that feel rushed and focus too much on the beef

Calling Elevate peak just because he’s being grateful is sicko s***. And I liked the melody on that joint but PEAK? You might just be misusing that word

He’s not really a mainstream rapper tbh

That’s funny cause I remember Flower Boy ranking higher at the end of the year lists in 2017 so once again it seems like you do in fact equate impact with mainstream success/hits

Oh brother 🥴. It's cool.

what do you think peak drake is in your opinion (outside scorpion)

Ye & JIK, yes.

Donda, no. The highs on there >>>>> the highs on every Drake project from 2018-2021

I’ll be honest I’ve always equated an artist’s albums as their discography. I don’t count features or loosies as part of that.

If you gotta keep hiding behind this, you’re kinda losing lol

“Drake has the best discography ever but lets not focus on albums”

The word discography has the album implication built in. Step the vocabulary up and say catalog, people aren’t wrong for assuming discography implies albums, that’s literally how the word has ALWAYS been used

I mean am I wrong? lol we ARE talking about impact right? only albums I saw above FB was DAMN & 4:44

Flower Boy was undoubtedly brought up more in album conversations than Lil Uzi Vert’s project lol, More Life too. The big 4 projects that I remember being thrown around was Damn, 444, Culture and Flower Boy. This is facts

Okay, abandon all logic then. Got it.

99% of the time when people are talking discographies, they’re comparing full length bodies of work. You know that. Stop being dense.

i think a big part of this is that unlike pretty much every mainstream rapper ever, he doesn’t rep a city at all, which is a real part of being able to impact the culture, because of how the sound of an area can be influenced by an artist’s work long-term (like ny with pop smoke recently, chicago with sosa, atlanta with thug and future, etc)

Lots of acclaimed albums that have zero impact but you got it.

Speak for yourself.

Ghost Town > any song on Donda besides maybe Off The Grid and Come To Life

You’re one of the .01% people that isn’t talking about albums then, because literally 99% of people that discuss this music s*** are talking about albums + full length projects when discussing discographies.

You know that and you’re being purposefully obtuse

What are the acclaimed albums with zero impact? You once again have a bias towards s***ting on critically acclaimed work because Drake doesn’t get that praise. He did when he was… wait for it.. making great albums.

This is a good point honestly

You the one that said Flower Boy wasn’t held high in conversations though

Even in the mainstream rap space no one was saying Uzi or More Life was AOTY lol it was Damn, 444, Culture and Flower Boy that were called potentially classic

Drake <3

Reasons why I hate talking to you are that you get snippy anytime someone disagrees with you. This is a forum where we can discuss music and disagree but you just always have to be right and cannot hold a valid discussion without being rude or catching feelings over someone that will never acknowledge your existence..

Unless you are Naomi Sharon

Nope. Your statement is as stupid as suggesting an actor's filmography only consists of their work on film. It doesn't. It connotes their work across film, TV AND theatre.

Take Nicki Minaj for instance. She has like 3 albums to her name. You can't speak of Nicki's impact on the game without speaking on her features. That's her bread and butter, not her albums.

It'll also be the same thing if you tried to speak on T-Pain's/Lil Wayne's impact /discography and ignored their features when that makes a clearly stronger case for their discographies.
