I 100% agree with this post.

Drakes fear of losing relevance in the short term have drove him to feed his fans consistently, which is great for them. But it does take some impact out of each release in recent times.

One thing about Kendrick that is admirable, is that he’s not afraid to sacrifice in the short term for the long term. The endgame does pay off for him.

Not in the 50s and 60s
nowadays yeah usually

Or '90s. :)
Hell, even '00s -- early '00s much more so, but still.

The hood ain’t rockin with drake

never quite seen anything like the vibe shift from drake being king to kendrick being king in such a short period of time

As a huge Drake fan that’s honestly a good way to live your life as well

I actually admire Pglang not giving into instant gratification and bringing back anticipation

fake numbers

@op definitely does not live in the South lol

One of the most forgettable supposedly blockbuster albums of the decade. It’s not even mid it’s just nothingness. The solo dolo album will make or break him.

Heard Drake likes to put his shrimp on a Barbie

Here’s the truth

His core fanbase will always rock with him. They’re ride or die. And admittedly, he has a lot of hardcore fans. He’s solidified to the point where he always gonna do 200K+ and reach some degree of success. They didn’t finish him off and they never will.

Kendrick successfully did hurt his image to a strong degree with the beef though. At this point, it’s hard not to admit that Drake got dogwalked by Kendrick. Casuals look at his newer releases and either shrug and look at it awkwardly, with “A Minor” still ringing off close to a year later.

Drake himself hasn’t helped this because his ego is clearly bruised and the lawsuit has stayed in peoples minds.

Drake with his longtime fans is fine. Drake losing his grip with casuals though.

70s-90s a little too smooth for me beside the odd psycho like George Clinton and Prince.

Frank brought it back to their level where every song has an incredibly unique and vibrant sometimes experimental arrangement. definitely some others like Vyes who I havent fully dove into but there was just more urgency to the music back in the day.

Still no top 10 for party

'70s Sly.

$$$4U?

Yes

heard a dingo stole Adonis

Yeah the begining is so good I was dissapointed when I heard the full song. Thought it was boutta be my favorite Drake song since Passionfruit

steve rodgers

But Kendrick tho.

If the solo is mid he'll just shift the narrative again. "I dropped that one to get out of my deal. Next era otw 🔥🔥🔥"

we're just in a dry patch tho

things must ebb to flow
