None of the projects you named except Scorpion were actual albums, and Scorpion got a full interview with Rap Radar, plus a secondary one with Lebron and Maverick. No more or no less press than any of his other eras. He literally does a major self controlled interview for every studio album he does. He did nothing for CLB.

Exactly.

The interview on the Shop wasn't promo for Scorpion and it wasn't a "full interview." That was as a favor to LeBron and he was interviewed for less than 10 minutes.

The Rap Radar Podcast interview wasn't for Scorpion either. That came almost 18 months after the album dropped so I don't get how you can count that as promo for Scorpion. It was a decade-end/career-spanning interview he granted because he was going to be named the Artist of the Decade.

Drake simply doesn't do promo for his projects anymore.

That rap radar interview came out in december 2019
Had nothing to do with scorpion
Drake generally stopped doing interviews for the most part.

Khaled ft ye and drake

u got it

I mean he does promo… he did billboards and stuff for this album. But I don’t get why he would need to do some kind of album press run with tons of interviews or something.

He’s Drake. Everyone knows the album dropped. I think he just wants to let the music speak for itself—there’s no need for him to continuously promote it.

I never said he needed to do that. I was just saying he doesn't do promo/interviews anymore for his album eras.

I said press not promo, they aren’t the same. Drake hasn’t done the typical promo stuff since NWTS. Press addresses things about a project, whether through more indirect PR or directly from an artist via TV appearances, Genius/Complex content type s***, radio station sit downs, straight up interviews, etc. The Shop appearance was 100% the “Scorpion press”. Just extremely controlled by his team and it still blew up in his face. They literally sat there talking about their favorite Scorpion songs, how certain ones came to be, etc. Regardless it was intended to clean up a lot of the Pusha s***.

The rap radar interview, while later, was also absolutely a Scorpion era press move. No other Drake project was present. He used it to publicly reflect and clear up a ton of talk that birthed during that era only. Plus, he spent a chunk of it literally talking about the album itself and it’s success. Other than that, it was mainly to provide a much more positive and clean public address for his overall image in contrast to the Shop appearance... Which had a darker, poorly received, and more negative perception. My point is, Drake’s done public press in one way or another for every single album/album era but CLB. That is a fact.

You're saying rubbish. How was his appearance on the Shop controlled when they directly asked him about the beef and his baby/baby mama? Things that the general public were desperate to hear him address? Be reminded that the interview dropped in October, after In My Feelings had blown up and he was on tour. It wasn't even a proper interview. He spoke for like 10 minutes and dipped.

People had moved on and he didn't have to address anything or do any sit-down with anyone. He only did that as a favor to LeBron based on their friendship but you somehow think he did it to clean his image up and that's stupid. If he was so concerned about cleaning up his image, there are a lot more things he could have done.

Also, don't be an idiot. The Rap Radar interview was his first proper sit-down interview since 2016. He was going to be asked questions covering his entire career and he did that interview for that very reason, not as press or promo for Scorpion or to clean up an image that you desperately believe he thought needed cleaning. Elliott Wilson had been trying to get him to do an interview since he did the CRWN interview in 2013 and Drake never agreed till he was ready and that was 6 years later and only because he wanted to have an overview discussion of his career/the decade (which he dominated) so far.

Not to beat a dead horse, but never forget these interviews had mans claiming Drake was going to use his son to promote his clothing line when all that s*** was confirmed cap.

Dude was right about a single detail and he lied about everything else because he knew nighas were weirdos and would believe it anyways. Years later, that whole diss track is confirmed cap save for Drake having a son.

the s*** sound crazy too, the vocals are in

But honestly though what happened with the CLB merch? And Nocta?

Tour? (Don’t list Covid as a reason, artists are touring all over and this pandemic is over in a month)

Am I crazy or are these valid questions?

When’s khaled’s next project slated to drop?

Anyone got a link to the snippet? I’ve either missed this or forgotten what it sounds like lol
