TiliaKanYe literally said it.
I know doesn’t change the fact that it’s a hyperbole. Everybody involved in the creation of WTT did not come together for the sole purpose of “Man this nigga Drake is next”. They’re various clips of Drake talking positively about people he’s now at odds with, how much stock do you put in those words?

“Eminem had the game on lock” in 2011? The same narrative that is going on about him now was happening then, he was just still selling.

The thread is about sales, not being the best rapper
Drake isnt the best rapper in 2024 either

Lol he started to come up in 08, but it’s hard to say that he was “on top” until 2011.
He’s still been going crazy for some time now thoWayne was still on top in 2011 so that’s a lie.

2009, So Far Gone came out in summer. He was not the number one rapper off So Far Gone...2009, I would say Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem were the big rappers. Lil Wayne was important too.
2010 was Eminem's year. Kanye dropped MBDTF, Lil Wayne had two big albums (one was a rock album). B.O.B. was bigger than Drake this year as well.
2011 was Eminem, Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj, Jay Z & Kanye (Watch the Throne), Lil Wayne (Carter IV). Drake had hot features. Take Care didnt even reach #1 the week it came out because of Carter IV. I'd put Drake at the upper level here but he wasn't "number one" yet.
2012 Drake might have been top 3 since a lot of the big names didnt drop.
2013 you have Nothing Was The Same, which was big, but you shouldnt forget that Eminem dropped a big album, Kanye dropped, Jay dropped as well, Wale dropped (he was still big at the time), Mac Miller dropped, and Macklemore was having an insane run (now mostly forgotten about)
The mega stardom of Drake was when Views was about to drop. At that point you couldnt deny his fame and he became very successful overseas as well, mostly due to pop songs like One Dance or Hotline Bling
The rap domination I would say started in 2014 with an amazing feature run. When he dropped two big tapes in 2015 and he won against Meek Mill he was the new top dog. Before that he always shared the crown with others
Agreed. Views is when Drake really took over.

Mr AmericaBruh , watch the throne only exist because ye and jay were scared of drake.
Scared of Drake and Wayne*
Drake even called them out for copying their idea.
C4 did double WTT first week too.

yea quite true tbh. crazy how some losers here make things up and spread their delusions
Apr 21, 2024Mr AmericaI remember being in elementary in 08/09 and most ppl were listening to Drake or nicki and knew the words to most songs, he def was on top of the rap game by the time Thank Me Later dropped
Good times. I remember in elementary when we was in the computer room the teacher left and we was playing Every Girl and best I ever had because some kid knew how to bypass the youtube block. Crazy Drake is still on top making hits when you think about. We grown men now

yeah drake wasn’t literally #1 immediately but he was clearly being groomed to be the next guy up with, for example, forever dropping in 09
Apr 21, 2024Block MutesonTaylor Swift as well. The two best musical artists in the world.

People were comparing him and Wayne's impact during that time while the latter was still locked up. He was well on his way to being a major player that year after his debut.
That year the the most talked rappers were Drake, Wayne, Em,Nicki, Kanye, and a good extent Rick Ross.
