drake cant make music at that level anymore
He’ll have to if he wants to rebrand
Basically the Kanye playbook.
Go off the grid for the next 1-2 year(s). Delete all social media accounts. No more IG packs. Don’t be spotted in public. If you have to go outside wear a mask or shiesty so no one can see your face.
Return with two albums ala Frank Ocean endless-Blond. Basically two Take Care/NWTS, masterpiece level projects. One can be R&B and one can be rap. Sorta like Scorpion but two separate albums instead of A side/B side. Don’t acknowledge or reference the beef. Can’t have “say that you a lesbian girl me too” or other 🌽 ball rhymes.
too bad Lucian would never allow him to do this
Don't worry about Drake. He just needs to ask Lucian if any new artist is available he can steal the swag from
AK was so confident drake couldn't be ja rule'd lol
AK says he's waiting till drake drops his solo music to see if ppl really switched up on him
as a disillusioned drake stan what type of rebrand can he realistically do?
even if he made a fully melodic album, i can't see him ever making a beloved hit song again. he's too divisive. a lot of people, normies not just twitter users, believe he is a pedophile who grooms teenagers. you would get weird looks for playing him no matter how good the song is. his issues are way deeper than losing a rap beef at this point, i really have no idea how he can recover from this.

lol i wouldn't go that far. most people are fickle. he just has to link up with some artists that are popular with gen-z and he'll be able to churn out some hits again. don't know if he'd be able to pull off a solo hit rn tho

For those people that genuinely thought Drake would win, what did you imagine happening?

B4 I share my thoughts, let me just say I'm probably Drake's biggest hater, and I wouldn't mind if someone murked him in Oakland. Now, with that out of the way... if I were his publicist, here's what I'd suggest (though I doubt he's capable of it):
1. first, I'd tell him to start acting his age. No more songs about IG followers and painted nails. That's the first thing I'd suggest.
2. The second thing is of course dropping the tough guy persona. I'd tell him he's not a mob boss but a former actor from Degrassi who grew up in a rich neighborhood in Canada where he and his mom ate tuna sandwiches together. I'd tell him to stop rapping about shootings and gangs because he knows nothing about it.
3. The third thing I would advise him is to finally start writing his own s*** and stop using ghostwriters. Now is the time to actually prove he's not trash (although I know he's not capable of that, afterall he's been trash for 15 years straight).
4. The fourth piece of advice would be for him to stop exploiting black American culture. I would tell him that he is not part of it and never will be. I would advise him to stick to his own scene in Toronto/Vancouver and to stop being selfish and help other underground artists from Canada. These are your people, help them. Show that you're not just someone who always takes, but that you're capable of giving back as well.
5. Number five, he gotta apologize to Whitney and for straight up twisting that Mother I Sober track (classic joint). He should also say sorry to Kendrick (even though Kendrick should NEVER forgive him) and most of all, he needs to own up to that messed up "free the slaves" line he dropped. Nasty POS.
That's a solid start right there...
Just played Drake x lil baby yes indeed in the car and killed the vibe. Ppl don’t fw Drake rap songs no more

If only he could still make good music

Idk if the Scorpion rollout will work in light of this battle outcome tbh but that strategy was perfect.
A part of what made the Scorpion rollout, following the Pusha beef such a success, was how he played with the singles. God's Plan was kind of a self-love/self assurance type record. One of his most universally beloved joints because of the motivational angle. Then he targeted the women with Nice For What + In My Feelings. He had the demographics on lock with that.
It's much harder to pull that off when your every move is now under a microscope and all your past joints for the ladies are being re-reviewed with a different lens, not to mention that Drake has grown very bitter in his lyrics lately, going as far as antagonizing industry peers like Meg Thee Stallion.
He's still Drake, still has ovo diehards, but a God's Plan type record is much needed rn.

He gives back the ring and shakes hands

he had seven songs in the US spotify top 100 when like that dropped, now he has none. this is a real problem for him, whether people want to acknowledge it or not.

Kanye eeked out a few solid joints on Vultures by the grace of Ty$ and by virtue of him just having the touch, even if he’s basically out of juice. Drake’s never had that. All of his best music was the result of 1) strategically positioning himself and 2) it being the perfect time and place to be inspired (trying to reconcile soft drake with a rap persona = iyrtitl)
For those people that genuinely thought Drake would win, what did you imagine happening?
I’d say Drake winning it because Kendrick over cooked his lyrics, too preachy/beating around the bush. Basically Kendrick making disses similar to that one shot ai song. I remember I panicked when I thought it was real
