how are we defining business as usual here? Drake has an entire backlog that will always make him a streaming giant no matter what he does or how much of his reputation takes a hit, we’re discussing why has he been struggling to get anything off the ground with all of the songs that he’s been dropping
unless you can split up the streaming numbers and show me how much of those streams are accounting for his newest material over his older s***, i don’t know if this really helps anything you’re saying at all here, you talked about superpowers, the stimmy was apparently one of them for awhile and it’s not working
When he was dropping said music of his backlog, yall called it trash, not classics, soft, blah blah blah
Now it streams well every year and is one of the best backlogs streaming, aka music people willingly listen to, and now yall use that to compare to the music he drops currently
Yall can't have it both ways
Yall used to tell me nobody would listen to Drake in 10, 15, 20+ years on ktt1 and here we are 10 years later and nothing has changed
It blew up because it utilized one of the most viral talking points about Drake, which was viralized by a Nicki Minaj stan in 2018 after Drake didn't help her with Queen
The streams show it's all business as usual with Drake's popularity
The vocal minority of Twitter and maybe Jack Dorsey and Alexis Ohanian could rattle some artists' careers and standings but not Drake's
Those talking points came from the MBB interview
Why are we acting like he would have to do it alone
Why are we acting like kendrick is gonna do it alone?
not wayne and trump both spiraling smh
Need them to do a Galaxy Gas collaboration

As a huge Drake fan are any of those people that said any of this itt right now or did you just vow to take it out on anybody near you for the rest of your life when it happened?

”When he was dropping said music of his backlog, yall called it trash, not classics, soft, blah blah blah”
i never said this, i always said i preferred and admired his earlier work/releases
”Now it streams well every year and is one of the best backlogs streaming, aka music people willingly listen to, and now yall use that to compare to the music he drops currently”
yeah, because context is important. if most of his streams are coming from his back catalog then he’s always going to be streaming well no matter what. it’s always going to be “business as usual” lol

never said this either, lol
Ppl can make drake soft jokes and still be avid listeners to his music yall do realize that right?
now you’re asking the real questions
where was Drake at when Thug & Birdman tried to have him assassinated?
why did JAY-Z pay Wayne’s taxes and debt when he was in trouble?
very pressing questions that i haven’t gotten an answer to
Why are we acting like kendrick is gonna do it alone?
This!!
We acting like wayne isnt gonna be up there half the damn time
I think the true reason is that Lil Wayne is not relevant in 2024 while Kendrick had one of his biggest years so far, simple as that

No one is saying kendrick is a bad pick.

Its honestly that simple and the fact that kendrick puts on objectively more theatrical shows
We can take setlist off legacy off and allat im sorry but wayne doesnt have a dave free

It was said by multiple users of this site and even on Twitter
That's always been the narrative peddled with Drake's music: hits for today, nobody will care years later
Now I have to act like none of it has ever been said here on this site or anywhere else to appease whoever is quoting me
This nigga Quadra having a meltdown because someone on the internet called Drake soft in 2010 is absolutely hilarious and that’s coming from a huge Drake fan
No one is saying kendrick is a bad pick.
I know, but everyone acts like it's a personal attack on Wayne but just because it's the city that he's from doesn't mean the organizers have the obligation to pick him and he hasn't had any buzz for years so it's not that surprising they didn't choose him.

Thats all this wayne controversy is, its just another way to be bitter about drakes tarnished legacy
The reason Kendrick dislikes Drake so music is because the mark he has left on music has not supplanted the one Drake has left
That's after all his Grammys, his award that rappers have never cared about, the critics loving his albums, all of that

Didn't you bring your gimmick to a RIP thread because all you seek is internet serotonin boosts?
I thought you would've learned something during your mute
Save it gimmick boy
