I see a lot of praise for both songs and as I said, they're kinda melodic

They're melodic because of the samples, but they're basically timestamp records in all but name
They're great songs but rap songs like that don't get widespread popular, they're too lyrical
May 16·1 replyshaleiroseThe biggest songs on his past three solo albums (before this year) all have features
Fair Trade
Knife Talk
Way 2 Sexy
Girls Want Girls
Jimmy Cooks
Rich Baby Daddy
First Person Shooter
IDGAFPlus Laugh Now Cry Later, Rich Flex, Wants and Needs, and Chicago Freestyle
I think his only solo hits in the 2020s are Toosie Slide and NOKIA
His fanbase has definitely gravitated towards features in the 2020s
I would say 5 of these would be hits no matter who was on them though tbh. Feats didnt add much. Wants and needs was both equally imo. Then the other 5 were only hits because of Drakes platform.

ElementalI agree. Would be shocked if it’s stable enough for #1

Yeah I wish that future track got put at the end of the album. He doesn’t deserve a #1 handed to him on a plate lmao

best scenario is make them cry #1 first week then future song #1 week 2.

Even NOKIA counts towards this given Elkan’s contributions

There's so much hunger for good rap music rn. Makes it so baffling when you have people like Jack Harlow or whatever decide that now is the time to switch genres lol

Knife Talk is literally a 21 song
Way 2 Sexy was a hit because of the sample, beat, and hook
Rich Baby Daddy was a hit 100% because of Sexyy Red's hook
First Person Shooter was a hit because it was the first major Drake & Cole collab in years, if that was a solo Drake rap record it wouldn't have been a hit
IDGAF was a hit because of the beat drop and Yeat's hook that went viral on TikTok because of the Drake memes
Chicago Freestyle was a hit mostly because of Giveon's incredible hook

No, but it is true that his genre diversity plays a big, big role in how commercially dominant he is

those 5 were hits because of Drakes platform though. If drake wasnt on them and instead it was someone else it wouldnt be a hit.

Every Drake hit is a hit because of his platform since like 2020
What I'm saying is that people gravitated towards those records because of the features. On a few of those, Drake's actual contribution to the song is just a very short verse

oh yea i agree then. But honestly basically if an irrelevant artist makes a great song with hit potential and they give drake a verse on it then it can be a hit. (Not saying those people are irrelvant)
We see that with pimmie and yebba and drake not even on them. If drake was they would probably be even bigger tbh.
