I said you got it bruh

@JGOGang

See, even she saying it and you know it’s hurting her soul to say it.

Saying what? I just said the same thing as far as what he’ll likely do.

My point is not that he won’t see a decline in sales

My point is that using HN for that is silly, given what the rap album did less than a year ago.

That’s all.

using a surprise dance album to project how a rapper’s next album will do simply doesn’t make sense to me

true but this only works for popstar and alternative type artsts.taylor,tyler or the kendricks, ironically drake has more of a street rapper type consumer base than a core fanbase that most popstars or alternative artists have.

I think you think I think he’s gonna decline because of the genre of the music.

I’m not.

I think he’ll decline because his last album alienated his fan base which is always a big red flag on a artist sliding.

Could have been a regular rap album that did that as well.

It's all rooted in bitterness and anger, which is funny because numbers discussions are fun and harmless. They're upset Drake fans keep bragging about his success like there are any fans/stans of artists seeing success who don't do the same.

You'd at least think that after the trolling, you'd be able to have reasonable discussions with some of them, but nope. Watch them turn to faux Drake stans when his next rap album drops and does well. It'll change to "we always knew Drake would do numbers" "we know he's the biggest rapper" etc. They'll act like they weren't the same ones talking all the s*** they're talking now.

That’s because those artists usually have more of a rabid fanbase. BTS fans made sure that last album of theirs had a big number and like 60-70% of it was physical units which is f***ing insane in this day and age.

Drake def had a pop fanbase tho. I just think they’re not so hot for him that they’ll go out of their way to buy a physical then other fanbases. So he’s more known then any artist but he has less of a core devotee core then say a BTS, Harry, Taylor or Tyler.

Rappers have side projects all the time. Again, CLB came out 9 months ago. Jimmy cooks went like, #1, why do you think he’s alienating his base?

Based off what?

Wasn’t a side project tho.

A side project is a guy like Damon Albarn having one IP in Blur and then creating a new one in Gorillaz for his different genre projects.

Brent Faiyaz did it with Sonder.

Calvin Harris did it with Love Regenerator.

Drake didn’t. His s*** was an fully fledged album under the Drake IP.

why do you think that is though why does aubreys angels have too be smaller than bee hive ,swfties etc . its not because his a cause harry an beiber are there.its also not beacuse his rapper kanye even carti have rapid fanbases, why dosent drake

I wonder if there will ever be a full day where drake isn’t brought up in this thread, something tells me no

You don’t think Honestly Nevermind was a side project?

Like it had the same rollout as CLB, that came out 8 months before it?

Same thing, huh?

Yep I think we’re done here ✌🏾✌🏾

Based off the record breaking drop off the album had past the initial first week listens (which were also disappointing).

Drake himself called it a studio album, stop it

This thread is run by drake stans and drake haters

The entire agenda around this thread revolves around drake

It’s a bunch of things.

Probably mainly that his fanbase is more male and they’re less likely to support to the level that majority female fanbases do.

Go look at Twitter, k-pop fan groups roam around that site like a gang from Mad Max trying to get attention and trends for them.

Never see that happening for Drake tho and that’s because grown men less likely to feel the need to do that.

Unreal, there’s a decent amount of users that want to talk about other numbers outside of drake in here too though

It’s definitely not a side project.

I’m sorry this conversation didn’t go the way you hoped.

I never said it wasn’t a studio album

My nigga, this may be a foreign concept to you but…rappers have side projects / studio albums all the time.

If you’re saying CLB, Scorpion, Views, etc is the same as Honestly, then you got. Drake should retire because he went from 650k to 200k in less than a year. The next album surely will be like 85k or something

Like I said, we are done here. Drake should just retire he went from 650k to 200k in a matter of months. Yikes!

They forget all the times before HN dropped that there would be threads about completely unrelated artists and Drake stand would raid them and post them “who cares, they flopped, Drake outsold” posts.

They’re only upset about it now because the tables have turned.

Because an album is a different genre makes it a side project? That’s literally all you’re saying. His numbers for a rap album will be better, but to act like this isn’t an album because it fits some narrative is cringe.

Never said anything even remotely related to that.

I just said that I fully expect him to be on a downward slope after the past few albums and you’re acting like I think he’s gonna be homeless in a couple of years.

I think you’re too emotionally involved with his success and that you should know about the dangers of paradoxical relationships before it’s too late.

“To act like this isn’t an album”

Brother I DIDNT SAY THIS WASNT AN ALBUM LOL

I simply don’t look at Dark Lane Demo Tapes, More Life, Honestly Nvm as with his other albums.

If you do, fine

Haha I think I’ll be okay lol
