His fallout was interesting
He was consistently doing insane numbers and you could just see in real life that he was legitimately popular. Having ubiquitous hits like that for the more casual crowd is huge and he hit that perfectly.

Then he told the crowd at a concert to put their phone lights up if they don’t have AIDS. Industrywide condemnation, Dua Lipa, who had a huge song with, disavowing him, labels covering their ass, etc.

And people just stop streaming his new stuff. Did his label stop pushing for his new stuff to get playlisted? Did the general public really care that much about what he said that the demand for his music ceased?

“More people are streaming now” 🙄

You don’t have to agree it’s true. Taylors new album sold 2 million and I have only heard it one time. Her numbers aren’t played in our community.

It impacted THESE black folk

And yet it only has spent 2 weeks at 1

True but lets not forget Gods plan was a random song that hapenned to be a hit, NLU had the whole hip hop world paying attention to the beef before the song dropped

I’d say only because God’s Plan is radio friendly and NLU absolutely isn’t.

Hot 100 is a meme chart bro. I’ve seen songs have like 5x the plays of another song because of the radio or other s*** that effects the formula

The amazing thing about NLU is that it very obviously does not sound like any of the huge hits ppl itt are debating its relative size to. It’s a rappity rap rap song, and it being in this convo while being as lyrical and technical as it is is an accomplishment on its own.

Radio and sales are the only other factors and radio never carried gods plan like that.

I'm not talking about Taylor lmao.

God's Plan had no beef attached to it. He didn't mention Kendrick

Still did 2 Billion

You want to compare them, show me a Dot song that doesn't mention Drake with those stats. The only one is Humble

lol gods plan was 2018

So many big hits came out since then including the box, rockstar in my feelings, nice for what etc and none of them broke it

NOT LIKE US WILL NEVER DO THIS

He started rapping over those bikini bottom ass beats

NLU is #9 on overall radio numbers right now. Rap hardly ever reaches top 10 on overall radio.

U mad

Humble is 15x platinum

Next 😂

1. Proof

2. Nobody mentioned it

Streaming records will continue to break as the platform grows. The records are being broken yearly lol

My only argument is that it’s bigger. I don’t care about the content. NLU has broken all of its records cause it’s bigger.

Beat carries Gods Plan, nobody cares about Drake's part on it, lets be honest with ourselves

in my feelings was bigger than NLU #shiggychallenge

It’s easily a better song

And I'm trying to show you that it's not bigger. It hasn't done close to the numbers that God's Plan has lmao.

Play gods plan and nlu back to back

Drake loses that round every time.
