    Y’all so delusional you think the memes about drake flopping and being over are serious

    we know he’s still top dawg calm down

    No I understand that completely, I know no one actually thinks that. Glad he finally tried something new instead of giving us CLB 2.0

    Folklore came out in 2020, 2 pandemic years ago and her records were still playlisted and digested in the same spaces.

    I literally grabbed august, 7, mirrorball, illicit affairs etc from the same places I frequent for all of Taylor’s drops. I’m a fan

    I also am not sure what the point of bringing Taylor swift up is?

    The point is promo and a single aren’t all that if you’re one of the biggest artists in the world. Everyone is online and on social media 24/7 these days and a huge artist dropping is an event everyone is checking for regardless of a rollout

    Idk man I feel like she could do it again

    She did 600k+ rereleasing a decade old album, that's some impressive s*** right there

    Maybe. I doubt it though. Going completely left from what your base knows you for and selling 500k first week in 2022 would be toughhh

    If Taylor did a rollout similar to this she is not at all touching 600k imo.

    Her last rollout was very much anticipated and liek you said just a rehash of already loved songs, with the whole premise of it being this is her own version without the greedy labels.

    Was it a rap album?

    This is an entirely new genre that’s not akin to his base. None of these records are going to be on the playlists that drake fans listen to, etc

    Folklore was a major departure from Taylor’s normal sound as well, and it managed to sell only 30k less than her previous album that had the full rollout with multiple singles / videos / tours, all that good stuff

    Yeah most people don’t find out the Drakes and the Taylor swifts of the world have dropped albums the way that we do

    Drake and Taylor Swift’s fanbases are huge. Most of them are not on social media 24/7. Social media is a very loud minority tbh

    That’s why radio still matters

    It dropped 2 years ago and it wasn’t nearly as drastic as what Drake did from CLB to nevermind. That’s just disingenuous to insinuate as such.

    The climate is drastically different now than then. 2 pandemic years is seismic. She probably can’t do that now and she damn sure can’t do it switching genres up

    And I say that as someone saying drake flopped

    She did CLB numbers after CLB with an album that had been out for 10 years brother

    Drake isn't over obviously, but he can't keep dropping mid projects. It's time to drop another good album.

    It's the year of the flops when it comes to rap. Now let's see what will happen with Beyoncé. Hope it won't also be a dance album, but it seems to be.
