you the type of nigga we tell to go make some drums.

What he say

he is not bigger then the 80s that inspired a whole different sound of music styles besides rock music era

Brother, I am brian.

To say Drake is bigger than these artists combined is ridiculous:

Madonna, Michael Jackson, Led Zepplin, Prince, Pink Floyd , Elton John, Beatles, Rolling Stones is ridiculous. That’s just naming a few.

Those artists sold physicals in vinyl, tapes
and cds globally. Fans are paying $10 per month for all Music on a streaming site, the sales ain’t the same as previous eras.

Trust me bro

Yo…he was talking about numbers 🤦🏾‍♂️

Comprehension skills at an all time low…

I don’t really care about this conversation but I hate this argument.

There was no internet. You were forced to listen to what the radio waves played. You don’t think that worked in the older artist's favor?

Labels bought albums to boost their artists.

Music game is music game. So that argument doesn’t work. Anything can be fudged or manipulated it’s not specific to a time period…this is a business at the end of the day.

It’s quite comical reading some of the conclusions people come to 😂

The same way a bigger artist like Drake is spammed on every major playlist,
YouTube algorithm, TikTok, and IG algorithm. And we all know radio has loved Drake for the past decade.

There is way more fan programming in this era than any other era.

Even though they did have radio programming, fans still had to physically go to a store to buy music, that’s way more than paying $10 a month for all music and listening through your phone.

Meh, Drake was big before all that existed but I get your point. Pretty much proves my point that there’s no difference between the two eras though.

I would even argue media back then had a bigger impact and control. Like you literally didn’t have a choice. There is no internet to stream your favorite artist. You literally had to listen to them older artists. No related tab, no searching for new artists from the convenience of your phone.

If radio said Smokey Robinson is hot, then that’s what you’re going to have to listen to.

this just factually incorrect

Most people don’t dig for new music, so that’s a terrible point you’re trying to make.

It’s only a small percentage of music fans that actively search for music, the majority only listen to what’s placed in front of them via radio, internet, playlists, social media.

With the endless amounts of platforms I just listed there is way more fan programming today than ever before.

This not even an argument.

Dude talking about virtue signaling but gets shifty whenever you talk about his favorite artists who were capitalists too

Edumist lmao

Really was a fascinating interview with some unique points that we probably should’ve have heard but this will be the sticking point for everyone else.

Media literacy is really down the drain

I’m sure if old heads were bumping Spotify and AM like us it would be a different story

That’s cap. There was way more control back then than today.

People most definitely have not only more favorite artists than they would back then, but they have MANY more options than back then.

You saying people don’t exercise that option is an assumption. Fact is they have more options

His ass still trash tho

drake going independent would break the industry basically

from a financial standpoint

Eh I believe it
