Hes been falling off for years now in regards to project quality, but this is the first time Ive seen this many people dismissing his album across the board. I wonder where if he even cares at this point though. But albums like kendricks and this recent one from drake definitely lose you more casual fans in the long run.

reinforces his brand if anything

Idk but this album is def not worse in quality than his last few projects

he probably has an entire team dedicated to keeping track of whatever is popular ready to turn something he does into a meme so i'm sure he'll be ok

In the long run yall will look back on it differently

CLB overhated

Only time will tell. I Don’t think this is a bad project though

That’s cuz s*** was a dance album and people are used to R&B/Rap Drake

Also we know Drake can get a hit whenever he really tries. The question is if he’s still interested in doing that.

i mean probably not too much lol, as long as he releases songs filled with quotables for IG posts and a cool hit or two he'll always be fine

im pretty sure he recognizes his output hasn't been too stellar

No damage done whatsoever. People will not just stop liking his music because of his decision to release an experimental album. They'll all be back once he releases an album that they can connect with. Both his die hard fans and the casuals.

I just want him to release his 4:44 and move away from his usual type of raps, also desperately wanting to chase hits. Though tbf I realize it’s been a while since he had a notable hit, which was Nice For What or Toosie Slide

drake is at a level where dud albums will not affect his sales for the next ones. people consume music and move on so quickly which makes it possible.

I'm just pissed THIS is what I had to wait for. Now no more Drake for like a year.

This aint what I waited for

This album NEEDS a remix album to go with it

His brand would only be hurt if he dropped a rap album that was this poorly received

This will be more akin to his rebirth.

You can look up Wayne’s album numbers directly before and after rebirth and see that that abortion of an album did nothing to his legacy or brand, and even now it’s not even brought up except for the occasional meme

I'm sorry but you need to get a grip. Guy releases music pretty much constantly, you ain't have to wait for anything

This is his Kiss Land

Will be a fan favourite in a few years

Drakes always been a half pop artist

Not even sure what this means because both artists you named in OP still are performing well in this climate which is about a decade past their debuts which in itself is difficult to do so. How about some of the younger acts pick up the torch so we don’t have to have our legends carry the weight

literally aot and y’all chose to look at sales just cause it fits the narrative. Y’all fav rappers haven’t ever sold over 500k and suddenly y’all loud asfk lmfao

10/10 album
So no hurt there
