Quote for posterity

If you truly beilieve that, Idk what to tell you Drake stans are some of the weirdest music fans ive seen but the people that hate on Drake cause of said fans are equally as weird.

You thought wrong

We still outchea

Mr. Nas X is here to join the party

This album don't count

Oh well there’s the next #1, poor Bey

He really bout to release a song way better than Beyonces

Another House single

Not nearly as iconic as Game rapping on the s***ter

Ngl, the snippets he be dropping are pretty good

This is the house-ish/UK garage one:

YB song is rap

so, did drake sell worse than Kendrick?

This is a banger damn

I linked one of the pages ITT where this was discussed in my first reply lol

Last month when the topic was MMTBS vs CLB, Drake fans kept saying CLB didn’t have any rollout. Others said that it did in fact have a rollout, with an announcement far in advance, a trailer, billboards, merch, and many other things (DLDT/LNCL/feature run is all promo). But the Stans ITT kept saying that it had no promo because he announced the release date so shortly before release and none of the singles made the album lmao.

The point of their argument was that Drake could do 0 promo and outsell Kendrick. So they ignored, denied, and downplayed all the promo.

So much worse 😮‍💨

Yeah claiming CLB didn’t have a rollout or promo is wild as f*** lol

Lil Nas dropping another anthem

If Drake dropped a surprise RAP album with 21-24 songs he’d sell 500k+. He knows this, and decided to drop an album he’s been dying to make for years. It’s almost irrelevant to bring up the sales for this album, cause that was never the point. This album was, above all else, about the art.

over 200k with a house album? W

That's basically what happened with CLB

except it’s basically not

Lmao this is an L no matter how hard you try to spin it

We’re in the “CLB had no promo beforehand” portion of the narrative I see

In terms of release dates, yeah. We didn’t know until the week of. In terms of anticipation, CLB had years of Drake hyping it up and fans impatiently waiting. The buzz for an album is so important, and I personally always recommend artists do that over the “surprise” drop, unless its a surprise at you doing exactly what people like you doing, amplified. This is why Folklore and Beyonce (self titled) did so well. They were typical Swift and Beyonce albums that hit the core fans like a meteor and was beloved by casual listeners since casual listeners like their typical stuff too.

If you think CLB didn't have any promo you weren't paying attention
