·1 replyNOKIA would be killing it on pop radio it if was by anyone else right now but pop radio doesn't f*** with Drake's music generally so, you have a situation where a song like Anxiety by Doechii is performing 5 times as well as NOKIA on pop radio.
Anxiety did 15M at radio this week, NOKIA did 10M. How is that 5 times better?

New VagabondNo way Drake stans are finally making the sales doesn’t equal quality argument when everyone has been saying that forever.
Nokia is not really an indoor song though. I only listen to it outside
This post is partly disingenuous. Sales have never equalled quality, but they're definitely a great indicator into what the masses are f***ing with, especially if that success lasts months and years in terms of music consumption.
Niggas have just been mad that Drake fans have been excited about his longstanding success for some odd reason, but you don't remain the bestselling and the most-consumed rap artist every year for over a decade if you're releasing trash. Especially when you're someone like Drake who doesn't have a rabid fanbase who will blindly support whatever you drop and you rely on the GP for most of the support your music gets. If you're not dropping music that the masses are deeming worth their time, you're not putting those numbers up. That's just how it works.
Drake doesn't drop bad music. Never has. Especially when compared to how s*** the rest of the music the rap game stays pumping out is. The worst thing Drake can do is put out music that's not up to the high standard he's set with the music he's released in the past and even when he doesn't meet that standard, the music he drops is still great.

Drake has released his fair share of bad music just like any other artist
This is what we mean when we say all y’all do is d***ride
Even the best athletes of all time have had bad individual games and performances
The greatest film directors of all time have directed bad films or bad scenes
Acting like an artist has NEVER released a bad song EVER is a ridiculous level of d*** munching

FATD was boring music for a lot of people. I know its anecdotal but none of my Drake stan friends played it. And I never heard a song from the album in a bar or anywhere

No. I heard Nokia tho
“All of my Drake Stan friends”
Key word “Stan”If someone like Em did Wash Gwan Delilah, Drake Stan’s would bash it
Nokia video didn’t get massive views but looks like it did it’s job cause it’s been rising everywhere else. I wonder if it can get Friday Top Hit on Spotify tomorrow 🤔
