    The people who like his music the most, the general public, know little about the sales so when Hotline Bling comes on the radio in 20 years, they're gonna rap along and they won't bring up how it went #2 and was blocked by The Weeknd adding Eminem to the remix of his song; that's something only a select few us know

    And yes you're attempting to age Drake because you have an opinion on the type of content he should be putting out

    Plenty of artists put out easily digestible music, but it never reaches this scale

    Every Post Malone, Lil Baby, DaBaby and Chances has shown you guys that steadily keeping the public's ear isn't easy as Drake makes it seem

    Well hotline bling was almost 8 years ago. I am saying all his music falls into that category of tied to sales but his latest albums are minus 1.

    And calling him 40 doesn't mean i think he should be making a certain type of music it just shows how long he's been in the game. Locker room rap is the most successful rap that's why he continues to make it

    This Nigga has put is imprint on music and that will never change

    Like it or not this dude is gonna go down in history regardless of sales or not

    From the common person to the college athlete to the president all have acknowledged drake in some way

    Even in fashion and television

    So at the end of the day good music is gonna last, all this other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow

    Because Kendrick's legacy is majority due to his popularity lol, that's my whole point.

    Trying to say it's because of the social work he's done is insane. I bet you barely anyone will remember him for his social work 20 years from now. They'll literally remember him for his hits

    Nobody said anything about social work wtf?

    I was talking about the social relevance of his music. TPAB will be remembered for decades because of how it important it was

    You literally can’t talk about 2010s rap without bringing up Kendrick, and you can’t bring up Kendrick without mentioning that album.

    So yes, if the average dude is having a discussion about 2010s rap in 20 years, TPAB will come up.

    Also, 20 years isn’t even a long amount of time lmao y’all act like people don’t still talk about The College Dropout or Late Registration

    I genuinely can not name a single album from the 2000s that people talk about for any other reason than "yeah it had some hits"
    or the 90s
