If you cannot see it, you’re not looking close enough. He doesn’t have the same hold as he once did years ago. If he were to become bigger than he is currently after the release of his new album, it would be extremely surprising. The quality of his music is also on a decline. Illiterates will read this and think i’m hating on him. I’m a fan of Drake as well. Discuss.

F off

wasnt he the second most streamed artist this year without dropping an album? hmmmm

I need whatever OP is smoking

Simply not possible to say until CLB drops. People said the same after More Life and Scorpion deaded that. His streaming numbers this year remain great.

This year does seem to me he has lost a bit of the stimulus package effect when an artist gets his feature, but even then its been a mixed bag not and really indicative that he's losing any star power. I also do feel there was a little bit of excuses for DLDT FW performance, but it's just not meaningful enough data until we see FW sales of CLB.

(strictly talking about sales / impact - not quality of music)

he still dropped 16+ tracks and hopped on a bunch of features

CLB about to be drakes biggest album yet

Funny I acc think this is his best year musically since 2015

What hold did he have at his ‘peak’ that he doesn’t possess now

Honestly trying to figure this out

yes and dropped throwaway tracks which were leaked for months (which sold more than most rappers in hip hop's actual projects) and helped smaller artist like Lil Durk, Giveon, Yung Bleu get their shine and their highest placement. Got savage his highest placement. The thread in general is dumb asf

Plateau maybe. But he's big as ever. Double entendre. Maybe even triple

Lol

Like clockwork!!

This is a good take, but I would say the whole year has been down for music.

Edit: I would say just about every album that dropped after the pandemic has been affected by it.

Your 100 percent right. Drake is getting old. It’s time for a regime change.

The haters who disclaimer “I’m a fan as well” the funniest haters 🤣😂

Who you trying to convince bozo

I mean
I’ve been hearing this for the last 5 years

Nah, he’s still doing his thing. If this is a decline then he’s falling with style.

life my friend. no d**** over here, good chap.

Drake Kendrick Cole Travis Kanye.

Everyone else is hot for the moment, come and go. It’s going to be like that until we get another bonafide superstar.

you’re allowed to have an opinion
