    no new rap artists have reached this level of cultural ubiquity and never will and anyone new and selling records over a career that lasted longer than a one hit single or a 6 month career don't have the esteem ye's catalog has

    the industry is different now and the forced politics and artist interference is more prominent and in your face than ever, he came up in a time where he wrote his own rules and people loved him for it, then spent the next 18 years solidifying it

    It’s not about sheer tickets sold

    Drake not pushing the envelope on live performances time and time again over his career

    I love Drake

    Drake is not close

    I would enjoy a kanye concert in 2026. But I’m not paying money for it. To be surrounded by a bunch of degenerate ass freshmen for 2 hours quoting their IG bios is hell on earth

    drake shows are incredibly dull and he looks like a goof on stage nowadays, the only compelling tour from him was maybe summer sixteen

    you’re hilarious. He’s selling out all the major cities in America, Europe, Australia (multiple nights) and South Africa easily if he announced a stadium tour
