He should drop the Drake character and become a dancehall/latin-pop singer honestly. Call himself...Aubré

Until today Drake threads took a break the past few days it's mostly been condom threads, or threads that got instantly condomized

Said it before and I’ll say it again, Drake needs to develop a serious heroin habit before recording any more music. This would be the best possible career move for him.

He would produce a deranged, dark, d***ged out experimental album that would be praised. He’d give grizzly accounts of life and the situations he gets into while being a fiend, and hustling pills on the side to fuel his addiction as people begin to distance themselves from him. Soon it would come out about his addiction and the media would be buzzing. Scandal after scandal would arise and he’d be the most talked about person in the world as he continues down this dark path of addiction and insanity. Then, he would get arrested for possession and do a stint in jail, adding credibility to the hard image he’s been trying to adopt for sometime. The #FreeDrake movement would be like nothing we’ve ever seen before and it would spark an international conversation about how we treat addicts (rehabilitative vs punitive punishment.

Drake would get out, get clean, and become the face of the opiate epidemic sweeping North America, opening him up to even wider audiences and platforms. His first album after release would sell a million first week and be praised, as Drizzy explores a whole new realm of lyrical content reflecting on his past degenerate behavior and becomes a symbol of hope for millions dealing with addiction. This would be great for his image, solidify him as one of the greatest rappers ever, and create worldwide change that benefits millions for years to come.

The best possible thing drake could do for his career is to start doing as much dog food as possible, as soon as possible.

What you problematized is normal, friend. Many artists that I listened to a lot as a teenager no longer have my attention.

I kinda had OP's reaction and stopped listening to him when Her Loss dropped. I felt like he was going to deep in that fake persona and the music sounded forced and generic. For All the Dogs confirmed what I was feeling. There's a couple good songs here and there (even released this year) but I never have a desire to revisit them. The beef was just the final nail in the coffin for me.

I'll always enjoy some classics but most of his music sounds catered to a teenage / immature audience so if I'll ever revisit it in the future it will be for nostalgia value

Suddenly second guessing drakes legitimacy in 2024 because of the beef is incredibly early behavior

I dont let outside narratives influence my music taste so no

Drake lost but his music still great

That’s fair.
I do kinda wonder what it says about me that I let the beef affect how I view the music.
Idk, I feel like artists as big as Drake become brands in a way; and the brand just got tarnished. It sucks because it’s such a cynical way to look at art, but yeah

Is anyone else having weird feelings about listening to his music post beef?
It’s not guilt per say, I don’t feel like I’m being immoral. It just feels… uncool. All his R&B stuff is fine, but the raps feel… hollow.
I wouldn’t judge anyone for still enjoying his stuff, he’s made a lot of great music, but I still just feel a little embarrassed when I listen to his stuff.
I am genuinely asking this question because I am curious if this is a common thing or a me problem, not to knock on Drake or his fans. I could just be shallow and this is just me. But maybe not. Let’s find out!
Please, let’s try to keep discussion productive!

The beef put a lot of his 2021-2023 music in context, which before I wasn’t feelin as much
