    Ion really agree

    I think labels don't have mouthpieces so it's easy for us as fans to say f*** the establishment

    But they do a lot for artists like drake

    widely accepted these are some of the dirtiest business people in the world who have been f***ing over artists for decades

    every artist should get what they can out of them and leave them in the dust as soon as they can

    it is bizarre. but drake's a bizarre dude. and his ego is f***ed up. the label very much advised against this.

    truly believe he thought the chance of kendrick having the reputation of stream-botter stuck to him outweighed any of what you said in his mind. he's just a sore ass loser.

    Well according to frozen moments, the label told drake to go after Kendrick and pg lang if he thinks bots are involved

    and he didn't because he knows that would look crazy.

    You think gamma just disappeared?

    this is not an alt

    FATD is widely regarded as the worst Drake album tho, out streaming it shouldn’t really be considered anything special

    Outstreaming Her Loss and HNVM too.

    "Drake claims that UMG was motivated to inflate the popularity of the song, in part, "to maximize their own profits," the petition read, and that the label has "refused" Drake's attempt to work together in resolving the "ongoing harm he has suffered."

    They were going to maximize their own profits by *checks notes paying for streams, paying for social media content and paying for airplay

    Theory

    Seems like a whole lot of reaching though.

    One of their pieces of evidence of f***ery is that Not Like Us would come on after unrelated playlists ended. Seems a lot more likely to me that the song was being listened to by people that don’t normally listen to rap and the algorithm reflected that. The beef was a massive pop culture moment. The week they were dropping music, they overtook Trump and Biden on Google searches. People way outside the realm of regular rap fans were listening to it. So if you have a large number of people who listen exclusively to Taylor Swift check out the song, Spotify will think fans of Taylor Swift will like this song, so they recommend it after a Taylor Swift song.

    Another piece of evidence they point to is that Siri would play Not Like Us if you asked it to play certified lover boy. That’s because the most popular song at that time that featured the lyric “certified lover boy” was Not Like Us. It’s not a conspiracy.

    The suit seems to be a whole lot of circumstantial evidence and hunches - I don’t see it making it to court

    if you read the entire draft, there's atleast three significant claims

    • radio payola, which is illegal and they have a specific claim or instance of this happening
    • the spotify umg licensing fee for not like us, specifically quoting the price (savings for spotify) when they played that specific song
    • removing any copyright on youtube and allowing streamers to make money reviewing the tracks

    Hence my saying that in the petition, what they're alleging / insinuating is a big deal

    Like, if you read it they're saying UMG / Spotify are committing crimes which is crazy lol
