    So, I stumbled on this Billboard article that for some reason, no one bothered to post here and it sheds some light on where Drake and Kendrick stand in terms of their catalog numbers.




    Some bullet points:
    1. As at the end of 2024, Drake has sold 80.7M album units in the US versus Kendrick, who has sold 29.1M album units.

    2. Views, Scorpion and Take Care have each sold 10M units each in the US, meaning they're each Diamond-eligible.

    3. GKMC has sold 9.3M album units while DAMN. has sold 9M album units in the US, they make up the bulk of his album sales.

    4. Albums credited to 2 acts don't count towards the totals for either act, so in Drake's case where WATTBA and Her Loss have sold a combined 6M units, those units don't count for him and neither will the units sold from $$$4U.

    5. Drake's streaming totals: 84B in the US and 127B globally.

    6. Kendrick's streaming totals: 29B in the US and 47B globally.

    7. From 2020-2024, Drake's US streams have totaled 46B, an annual average of 9.2B US streams, while globally, he's averaging 15.9B streams per year. In contract, from 2020-2024, Kendrick has averaged 3.29B US streams per year and 6.4B streams globally per year.

    8. Lastly, it states that any way you cut it, whether over the course of their respective careers or from 2020-2024, whether by album consumption units or stream count, Drake's numbers more than doubles Kendrick's.

    That's some crazy perspective.

    I think cos sometimes Drake's vocal isn't enough to carry a song outside a social setting.

    I guess, but I mean more .. Meet Your Padre in particular is like two guys that don’t know Spanish trying to bag latinas.. the bad Spanish accents and Spanish are obviously intentional and part of the plot.. life is a comedy and hearing a song like that just makes me laugh about going outside yourself to try and get a girl.. it’s just little nods to people who have actually lived their lives

    Every time Drake does one of those Spanish songs I say it sounds like me tryna bag the girl behind the counter for some free tacos

    This brings back memories of my first time listening to Persian Rugs mayne

  • Idk bout them boys hating. All I seen is baddies posting that s*** in their stories and notes.

  • TheFader

    I don’t agree with this. I’ve thought about this for a while, but it’s never been more evident than on this project. Keep in mind, I enjoy this album so this isn’t hate, just an observation I’ve made over the years.

    Drake’s approach to R&B is COMPLETELY different nowadays than what it was 10+ years ago. Whether it’s a better or worse approach is dependent on who you’re asking, but I’m not even talking about just the content of the music itself, that’s obvious. I mean that his approach to songwriting as a whole when it comes to R&B has done a complete 180.

    He used to approach R&B writing from a very traditional standpoint: clearly defined ABAB structure, songs written around a specific narrative, more complex & varied melodic lines, layered vocals along with background vocals, and less wordplay in the lyrics, instead focusing more on eliciting emotion. These songs sound like they were written by legitimate R&B musicians. Prime examples of this include:

    !https://youtu.be/wWcaNu10POQ?si=8vpwUhz8q9u7n8QS!https://youtu.be/pc7SitHShpM?si=z2hmMkumgaSB1mnJ!https://youtu.be/ndCnatxRaF8?si=ftnIPwdmblGiDCjr!https://youtu.be/akwlMVMNIYw?si=ui-AGA6vZCqut58X

    Then, the approach started to switch sometime around 2017 or 2018. It changed to something more formless and conversational, gone were the traditional song structures and in were songs that could be mistaken for one long verse, usually with one or two repeating melodic lines the entire song, in addition to feeling like songs written by a rapper due to their emphasis on punchlines and similes within the lyrics. He seems to prefer catching a vibe on his modern R&B songs rather than writing a fleshed out song. They almost come off as freestyles more than actually written songs. Some examples include:

    !https://youtu.be/L2y1wk5EB6U?si=XvqGNTVu1b-A1ARA!https://youtu.be/ZX_mvoY_Hg0?si=uqLH7SasAGeO_Y4G!https://youtu.be/tJYeoXe5SsA?si=fUP9xoDTh9lzGUEK!https://youtu.be/m9rb-v3wthQ?si=8AZ7cQTx9eIbtJ7Z

    The style you prefer is completely subjective, but it is very interesting to note and observe the differences. For that reason, I don’t think people would hate a song like Marvins Room if it were to release today, because it would be basically a complete 180 flip from the R&B that 2025 Drake is making.

    Yep some time around that 2019 period between Scorpion and DLDT is when he started doing the runoff sentence singing he's been doing.

    He's never used much bg vocals and harmonies after Take Care. But its almost non-existent in his music now, aside from a few songs
