I get your point. I'm just saying that a superstar like Drake being made goes beyond just a cosign and a push. And there's also the fact that Drake surpassed any expectations Wayne or anyone else had for him. By March 2010, Wayne was locked up and Drake was on his own. He went beyond Wayne's push and kept getting bigger commercially throughout the decade. His unprecedented 13-year run isn't because of Wayne. That's all him.
I just think calling Jack Harlow the next Drake is setting him up to fail. At 23, Drake was a lot farther ahead in his career than Jack is and it's not even like Drake's run is over or he's slowing down. It's a losing battle any way you try to slice it.
Your entire first paragraph is cool but idk why you said any of it bc I already understand and agreed with all that
And in the hypothetical scenario I’m pushing, Drake would be taking Jack under his wing within the next year
Which means Jack first mainstream album came out while he was 23. Drake first mainstream project SFG came out when drake was 22
So bringing up the age differences make no sense when they are 1 year apart. You are saying drake achieved a lot more at his age and I was arguing that a lot of those achievements, are directly due to Wayne signing/collaborating with & pushing him.
Unless you want to strictly talk about the sound of the music as an achievement, my point was yea drake achieved more but a lot of it was cause of Wayne. If drake would’ve gave Jack Harlow 5 features for Jack album you don’t think Jack would’ve achieved more by now?
We will see if Drake decides to push him or not
Ye isn’t steady. He just had an album come out and then a deluxe version of that album, with a once in a lifetime concert performance the other day as well
Talking about his numbers rn after all of those anomalies doesn’t indicate we are at his average right now
He went from 35 to 45 mil after Donda drop. And he's still at 45 months after
Drake dropped CLB when he was at 55, went up and is already back to 55. While having more hits
Ye is very steady streaming wise, also cause of his old classics

Bringing drake up has nothing to do with Jack
And idk wym by before DONDA drop. Do you mean august before, or like January before.. bc that matters
Before is a just an ambiguous term
And he just dropped the deluxe a few weeks ago
We are still in that album cycle. These are not his normal numbers nor are they his new normal. Jack hasn’t released an album in over 1 year
Let’s see who’s streaming more September 2022, 1 year after DONDA

Drake does Beatles numbers
Op: yeah jack harlow the new drake lmao
Reading through OP’s explanation of “Jack is the next Drake” the premise is completely based on the hypothetical of Drake taking Jack under his wing. And Jack hasn’t done anything besides sound inspired by Drake and have a decent hit and be a popular social media personality to justify comparisons to Drake’s career. Not to mention people from his class doing way more to warrant comparisons than him
So this begs the question…why did OP pick Jack specifically?

S*** is hilarious.

Because he's white.
He can’t sing so nah
But he does rap just like Drake so I see what u saying

lol right. still not as good a rapper. He's lyrically not on the level of a drake
did u not see the concert
drake will be the next drake
lol right. still not as good a rapper. He's lyrically not on the level of a drake
Drake has always been lyrically average. Not much needed to reach that level.

The Beatles were around in the 1960s
There were 3 billion people on earth back then
There are 7.9 billion people right now in 2021
Doing “Beatles numbers” is going to become a record more and more artists break as time goes on. There are songs with >1 billion streams you’ve never heard of bc you live in your own world, and those songs live outside of it
So those Beatles numbers don’t mean anything when comparing them today. It’s a completely different world
Harlow album already has 1 billion streams actually, I don’t think 1 billion people heard the Beatles music in 1960s

Jack debut album came out December 2020
So who, exactly, are his peers? What rapper has dropped their debut album 2019 or after and has more commercial success than Jack?
He’s one of the only new generation artists that is known almost purely for his music. No gimmicks, no scandals, just bars
he got viral gimmicks tho the druski s*** the sus jokes etc
He’s a likeable dude but haven’t even heard him outside since that poppin song
that chris brown ft song getting played
I think this the best thread to ask, did Jack harlow put EST Gee on? I heard route 22 yesterday so I think they from the same place and I didn't hear of EST Gee until this summer.
If so you can't say Harlow hasn't already put people on.
he got viral gimmicks tho the druski s*** the sus jokes etc
That’s not a gimmick
The Druski stuff are skits. And they might make their own TV show/movie. You wouldn’t be able to do that from a Gimmick. It’s just comedy
The “sus stuff” isn’t a gimmick either, it’s just him making jokes and being funny and he has a tendency to lean on sus jokes. That’s no different than Dave Chapelle being a comedian and leaning on black people jokes in the sense that; it’s not a gimmick, but just a stylistic choice
Y’all don’t understand what a gimmick is so stop
