It wasn't "massive" culturally but it had an undeniable grip

The moment has passed for Drake to have a moment like TLOP era Ye he could never tbh

Yeah

People were not rocking with the sound of the album and the Confederate flag ish

Also this is where the "Kanye is crazy" talks started with the rants and interviews he did for Yeezus that alienated a lot of people

All Day n 4 5 Seconds "saved" him and got people to pay attention again which those songs led into the TLOP rollout and all the variations

“Low period culturally”

Rap culture, HipHop media and the mainstream were not rocking with the album nor Kanye at this point

Due to the sound of the album and his actions + controversies of the time

It didn't grip anything HipHop wise, at the time, and the only positive he got from Rap itself was the building promo projectors + New Slaves song

He alienated Rap artists, fans and media in more ways than one at the time

Amazing how two white men doing this was more accepted than this

Hydrogen bomb v coughing baby

Mfer with another wild ass take Jesus H Christ dude
Nga unironically neglecting YEEZUS’ cultural gravity the f***n chokehold it had on the youth, transcended fashion & music cemented his place as as an authoritative fashion staple in the rap game(never before done), Iconic trailer music , iconic graphic tees, iconic aesthetic, iconic stage presence and design, iconic tour fits, iconic stills, iconic music videos, honeymoon era Kim + north heaven on earth, a true and feisty power couple couple not to be wrecked with

Yea TLOP unfinished ass mess can’t even compare it’s fkn blasphemous u committed

Two very ugly men both on the outside and the inside

really crazy comparing these 2 eras. drake completely ruined his brand as an artist

Holy f*** bro u speak like an npc
But- but- the mainstream outlets weren’t fukn with ye Jesus bro do u even here urself like genuinely do u even think before u post this fkn slop

Ye curved his own fkn path that album was punk as it can get, ye iconic rants idgaf fuxk you approach is part of his genius dude like cmon how can u be so dense that is his whole appeal
His giant middle finger to the establishment are unbecoming that is what separates him from his peers and it cannot be replicated it’s a 1 of 1
A true rebel figure that was a on a personal mission to get his vision out there when no one else believed in him
And guess what everything he said he would do in 2013 he did and then some

easily yes

kanye at 36

drake at 36

Didn't read the title in full nor the OP i just saw the pics and thought we were comparing their looks

Kanye easily ratios Drake on the looks front

True although thats a very low bar

Made much better music that’s for sure

Drake is fundamentally not an artist, He does not express himself, he expresses what he views as popular or what is current in his lyrics, song structure and vibe. Take care was his best album and it's The Weeknd's illegimate child. even So far gone and before is a copy of 808s and heartbreak
Drake's talent for music is in his business, showmanship and performative arts, He knows how to work in the system because he was a child actor, groomed into an industry. That is fine, curation is a field of work and specialized interest.
It is just laughable to compare him to the Kendricks,Kanye's,Basquiat's s*** even Jay Z.
He is more akin to a very intelligent sociopathic DJ Khaled. Just instead of yelling DJ Khalleeeed. He raps one of his verses of the backs of whatever sound he thinks will be popular

@drake @YoungNastyShawty

Also Death grips is the God to Yeezus's jesus. Yeezus was made in their image

Drake still being in his 30s is crazy to me

This video was parodied and made fun of to death lol and seen as so goofy

And is one of two songs most people liked

The other being New Slaves

So just because he has some special privilege coming from an acting bg disqualifies his output as a artist/rapper because it’s “unconventional” or “not real hip hop” man we’ve heard this tired ass take and it’s the same s*** ngas been saying since the beginning

God damn u ngas can’t hide ur dislike for Drake so u come over and coat it in so many words to justify it
Like undermining his talent and what he brings to the table bc of ur own biases u hold against him like aint no way u just compared him to Dj fn khaled bruh u dead ass w this rage bait

yeezus massively influenced trav whose last album was basically his best yeezus impression, bro came out on stage saying there's no travis scott without kanye west and he rarely goes out of his way to praise anyone like that

also you're turning a blind eye to its broader impact on music if you don't hear yeezus influence on artists like tyler, jpeg, gambino, danny, rocky, xxx, vince, brockhampton, denzel curry + fka twigs, rosalia, charli, 070 shake, injury reserve, billie, lorde, bon iver and more many of whom have openly praised or cited yeezus and kanye as a major inspiration
