He's one of the biggest selling rappers ever you can't just act like he's gonna fade into obscurity lol
You either changed ur post or im hallucunating
Thought u said something else sorry
He's one of the biggest selling rappers ever you can't just act like he's gonna fade into obscurity lol
Nelly, diddy, Luda, and 50 are top 10 commercially and have all fell into obscurity musically. Especially the first three
None and that's not my point. Me and you are both generations after him and know who he is. That's the point
Your point is irrelevant this is my thread and your point has nothing to do with what I said.
I stated many times THE MUSIC won't be looked at the same.
You did acknowledge though that you and me both came after Elvis and neither of us own s*** from him despite him being popular at a point in time
u right look at ja rule & nelly
The comparison between Drake and Ja Rule/Nelly has always lacked nuance
Nelly, diddy, Luda, and 50 are top 10 commercially and have all fell into obscurity musically. Especially the first three
Drakes run lasted longer than
tupac
biggie
lil wayne
eminem
50 cent
t.i.
kendrick
nas
rakim
and everyone else y'all consider goat

Then your argument applies to everyone not named Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder
Why relegate it to Drake?
TC aged like milk lmao
Isnt this your opinion though?
People are still listening to it and talking about it almost 10 years later
Then your argument applies to everyone not named Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder

Mj and stevie wonder the only music you own that predates you?

Yeah and none of the people you mentioned ran hiphop for 10 years
kendrick stans getting desperate
No where close to a stan i Stan one artist and his name is JEFFERY LAMAR WILLIAMS
Drakes run lasted longer than
tupac
biggie
lil wayne
eminem

how?
50 Cent and TI, prolly yeah but the rest nah. Drake started putting out mid about four years into his career after NWTS
A whole ass generation of kids grew up on his music and that music has lasted for around a decade, just as legends from previous gens like MJ and Stevie. It doesn't matter how you view his music, to say it won't stand the test of time is ludicrous and his music has been around long enough to gage whether it will or not. And the answer is:
It will.
Mj and stevie wonder the only music you own that predates you?
I'm not talking about me. Were you not talking about the masses? Ok your argument reads as "artists who were popular at one time don't necessarily cross over to future generations". And my point is that idea applies to 90% of artists not named MJ and Stevie
Dude LITERALLY WHAT
19-20 years old are living in the hype era what are you even sayiing with this they talk about music he made 3 years ago s***.....
Most of this s*** is hype. You just CHOOSE to believe that these memories and Drake's hype will disappear, but historically the opposite is true.
What keeps the old music relevant (at least as relevant as it can be)? It's not the critic's reviews. It's not even necessarily quality. It's all hype I PROMISE
Yeah and none of the people you mentioned ran hiphop for 10 years
The point is that sales don’t mean much when it comes to how the music is viewed in the long run. Almost half of the top ten has faded.
Meanwhile you have genuinely iconic albums that haven’t moved units like that
years from now itll be threads just like this talking about no longevity and not seeing the irony
The comparison between Drake and Ja Rule/Nelly has always lacked nuance
Not really cuz n real time nelly & ja rule were doin exactly wat Drake doin he jus doin it in a streaming / social media era so his s*** is jus magnified.
Isnt this your opinion though?
People are still listening to it and talking about it almost 10 years later
I mean NWTS and IYRTITL still sounds fresh in this current era of music, TC? not so much
I'm not talking about me. Were you not talking about the masses? Ok your argument reads as "artists who were popular at one time don't necessarily cross over to future generations". And my point is that idea applies to 90% of artists not named MJ and Stevie
So you think MJ and Stevie Wonder the only artist people post their time period listen to?
Prince? Bowie? No?
