The singles off take care were insane though, he was setting records for like most top 40 hits at a time back then wasn't he? Some s*** like that. Couldn't go 10 minutes without hearing a Drake song on the radio.

2013 and NWTS was almost just as dominant with radio play.

He might've been outsold first week but people was actually listening to him all year long, c4 and MMLP2, not so much

I was talking 2010-2013

I'd put MBDTF in the top 3 of the decade but Yeezus and TLOP aren't even close, IMO

And it really doesn't even matter to me how rushed he decided to make the album, he still put it out. Kanye's quality suffers a lot from this rushed creative process he embraced from Yeezus-Ye

NWTS is the real answer for me if we talking about when his run "started", that s*** was big enough to be up there with the biggest at the time and it was the point where you basically knew Drake was going to be no1 commercially without doubt

also 2012 was 2 Chainz year

My guy the singles on Em album were also bigger too he had multiple top 10s and achieved another number 1.
Drake started dropping singles for NWTS in Feburary and didn't drop until September.

Em started dropping singles in August and didn't drop til November and out did Drake with less time b.

I get you like Drake but that doesnt mean you have to downplay Wayne and Em runs to do big him up.

The fact Drake run that year was so big and Em still came through and got a number 1 before him is a credit to Em run in the early half of the 2010s that includes Reocvery which had Love The Way You Lie which was bigger then any Drake track up until prolly his Scorpion era recently.

Em def outpaced Drake the start of the decade and had bigger songs with more play.

Again this isn't saying whose better but simply that Drake def didn't run the first half.

When you run s*** you can drop the last 5 months of the year and outdo the dude who was having the best run

arguably 2011 after TC or NWTS

concretely 2015 after IYRTITL WATTBA and Meek situation

And lowkey he’s only still looked at as the top guy based off the past couple years and No new niggas stepping up

I would understand the ye slander if Daytona and KSG didn't drop the same year, those two ended up on many year end lists. ye is my least favorite Kanye album though, I get you. However, Yeezus ended up on many people's decade end lists, including tons of critics and music listeners. I think we can't deny that the album was both critically acclaimed and praised by many fans. TLOP is debatable, I personally love the album to the core but that's just my opinion

no hiatus. he was doing features and probably more loosies then

Agree with this

If you’re reading this was when it started.

why y'all people always so interested in commercial runs tho? Drake has been garbage since 2015 and NWTS was his best album by a landslide

No he wasn’t.

And he didn’t outselll he that year
Wayne outsold him the next year
Eminem outsold him wit mmlp 2. It wasn’t until IYRTITl that he was the number one rapper.

I think that feature run in 2012(Stay Schemin, No Lie) kind of primed him then he exploded off that momentum in 13 and hasn't come back down

Discussing this "Who's the biggest commercially" s*** is worse than discussing who's got the most critical acclaim

by far

you basically discussing who's loved the most by the masses when most people are dumb as f*** and have no taste

good way to put it. as soon as 2013 started, literally as soon as it started, he had f***ing problems (huge way to start the new year), then immediately after he drops SFTB, and literally a week or 2 later, he drops what I consider 1 of his best songs, 5 am in Toronto....it's like he couldn't wait for the year to begin and exploded with all the s*** he dropped.

2013 - his dominance began

gonna make a thread out of this

That’s your opinion but 99% of the people think otherwise that’s why he still is #1 and on top.

I sound arrogant now but most casual listeners are just sheep

I can’t believe we haven’t deleted this r3tarded post yet

How is this ed ?

He claimed GKMC era Kendrick was just as successful Drake commercially

When in reality it doesn’t even come close to Drake’s Debut, TML

I’m sorry your pea sized brain can’t comprehend basic sentences
