Drake haters are more obsessed with him than his actual fans.
Hating on an artist and still checking out every oh his moves and tracks a decade on sounds nuts to me.
Constructive criticism/genuine discourse is hating now

Him listening to criticism is what directly led to Her Loss idiot.
Not to mention all of the other numerous times throughout his career he’s listened to criticism and used it to make himself better but you morons are too stupid to realize it
No its not lmao. A project like Her Loss was inevitable after he released HNVM

And these threads have been made over and over for years now. It’s crazy.
Apr 9, 2023·2 repliesLol at saying that Drake can sell out a stadium tour if the Weeknd can.
That's not quite how it works.
The Weeknd is able to sell out stadiums because he has MJ-esque universal pop songs that appeal to tons of casuals of different age groups and global audiences on top of deep cuts and fan favorites for his own stans.
Drake just makes a lot of melodic hip hop that only sometimes crosses genres like with certain songs such as HOWGH, One Dance, Controlla, and Passionfruit. But, otherwise, his music is mostly melodic rap which doesn't have as much mass appeal to the general public or the globe as the Weeknd's music.
Then you also have the performance aspect. Drake is a solid performer but that's basically it. Being solid can sell out arenas but not stadiums except for a one or two time scenario. But you have to be an amazing or at least interesting performer to pull off a full scale stadium tour and Drake just isn't that type of performer. Even Kendrick has eclipsed Drake as a live performer imho.
Having billions of streams doesn't automatically mean that you can pull off a stadium tour. There's levels to this s***.

If Drake listened to criticism he would've dropped the all rap over dusty beats album people beg for instead of a house album (HNVM) after his most divisive album (CLB). In Drake interviews he's acknowledged he can't please everyone and so he just does what he would want to listen to as a fan. I'm not seeing how Her Loss was him listening to criticism. It seemed more like a WATTBA situation but over a couple months instead of 1 week

You do realize Drake is the most streamed artist in the world right? Views, More Life did wonders for helping him get to that point and bring international appeal towards him. Hip-Hop is just as appealing outside of the US as pop or Eminem, 50 and Bad Bunny wouldn't be some of the highest selling artists worldwide if rap didn't have the same appeal

Apr 9, 2023NOKIANOCTAHe didn’t peak then.. he broke a ton of records then billboard changed how streaming and sales were accounted for which cut into everyone’s numbers.
CLB was massive and then he dropped a surprise dance album and a collab album. His next solo album with a full rollout will be insane…
He peaked and it’s okay
