More than one person can run s*** at the time btw
But if we talking about when he was dominating like crazy and no one kept up, I guess in 2011 onward during the Take Care era
If we were to compare Drake to Hov, Wayne and Ye
Take Care outsold WTT by almost 200K first week. Carter IV was massively hyped after C3 so it almost selling a milli made sense
NWTS outsold Yeezus (~300K), MCHG (~100K), and IANAHB 2’s (~450K) first weeks. All in 2013
The numbers above are about how much they were outsold by, not their first week
His debut literally outsold MBDTF
Kanye even said him and Jay Z had to team because Drake was putting pressure on them
Take Care outsold WTT
This was freshmen and sophomore era Drake
The motto was the most illegally downloaded song of 2011
Best I Ever Had when i first heard it was like Don Toliver - “No Idea” it gave me the same feeling
Wayne stans resent Drake for some reason lol
TML sold 447K first week
Take Care sold 631K first week
NWTS sold 658K first week
IYRT sold 535K first week and that was over 3 days (based on how album releases were at the time of release)
Each album has had a top 10 hit on Billboard
The run has been going on since 2010
*NWTS sold 658k first week after being leaked a week early
It was gonna touch 700k
Wayne stans resent Drake for some reason lol
They think he stopped Wayne’s career when Wayne wanted it to happen that way
2009
He was literally Kanye - post prime Wayne level in 2010
Nah this cap as f***
