WRFHis whole career he has never done what "the people" said they wanted him to do, he always does the contrarian thing that people complain about, but it almost always turns out to be the right thing, and what the people end up wanting in reality. Stated preference vs actual preference.
The latest example of this is post-beef. After the success of not like us the collective wisdom was that "Drake should just go silent for a year or two and let people miss him". Instead, Drake was as present as ever, doing whatever he wanted. So now when a producer leaks a rough freestyle it makes more noise than some people's albums, and platforms that were saying he was done 5 months ago are trying to get back on his good side.
You can't become the most prolific rapper of all time by doing what the collective says, because most people are stupid, and you're trying to do something that has never been done before, so why would the collective know the best way to achieve it?
Life lesson in there for those who want to achieve things.
I think it should be a balance
Being contrarian and unpredictable in certain aspects helped him massive popularity but not failing to deliver the level of artistry that much of his core and definitely the core fans of the genre expect from him has hurt him in the long run
Sometimes you gotta give the people what they want and do fan service.

Send me the article when he sells less than 150k first week and I will believe you that he is done. Don’t give me tweets as proof lmao
Twitter hates Russ and he sells out more arenas than most rappers lmao
It's so intriguing to me just how many people believe whatever takes they see about a thing or a person on Twitter is what holds true as fact in real life. Case in point: according to Twitter, Russ isn't a star but dude has made more money off touring than probably ever rapper not named Drake, Kanye, Eminem and Jay Z. He sells out shows in places that even Drake might have a hard time selling out shows in because Drake has never even tried to tour in those places before lol.
Another example is Moana 2. That movie dropped and immediately, the narrative on Twitter was that it wasn't as good as the first (fair enough), but they kept insisting that the movie was a flop simply because Lin-Manuel Miranda didn't write the movie's songs this time around and even before the first box office weekend was over. Long story short, it has grossed $950M in the box office as at yesterday and is aiming at a total of $1.1-1.2B in the box office when it's run is over, maybe even more. That'd be twice what the previous Moana movie made. Meanwhile, Mufasa has been getting all the positive press and viral tweets but couldn't even outperform Sonic 3 lmao.
Why it kills these people when you post stats that prove Drake's music is still being consumed the most in rap is that it directly goes against their opinions on his commercial standing. These are people who have always wished to see him flop or fall off in that regard and they've spent so much time in 2024 letting social media algorithms and botted negative viral tweets about Drake convince them that the whole world hates him and doesn't listen to him anymore. In reality, even in Compton, they never stopped playing his music
You're not going to any party anywhere in the US where at least one Drake song won't make the playlist. Dude just announced shows in Australia and he's sold out about 96% of his total tickets already, and that's after adding like 6 more shows.
They HATE that dude won't be going anywhere and is so solidified that even when he doesn't drop anything, his catalog is still strong enough to outdo everyone in rap (even those who drop 3 projects in a year). That's all their disdain for Drake is really about.

Drake has stayed on top because he’s fed the people with slap after slap for 15 years straight - all the people saying he absolutely needed to take a break after every single release were dead wrong. They failed to account for how fickle people are and how short their attention spans are. Look at someone like Chance, who went the other way and took too many breaks that were all too long. Nobody even knows who he is anymore.

Apart from few glimpses of greatness here and there, his stuff from Scorpion onwards been cookie cutter and corny once he started doing the mafioso thing

He’s literally just referencing that half the industry tried to take him out and he’s still standing perfectly in tact, no matter what the haters on the other side would like you to believe. It’s really not that deep

Jan 6·2 repliesThis is only accurate to the beginning of Drake's career when he first came into Hip Hop. Since around 2015-ish, Drake has been doing exactly what the people want. Chasing whatever popular genres, production, or rapping styles are hot. Losing whatever artistic integrity he used to have. Drake hasn't been "exceptional" or "innovative" for more than half of his career now
