DrogonDrake isn't capable of a "Ray Of Light." It just solidifies how much of a relic of a time he was.
lowkey a drake triphop album would go crazy just have illangelo and 40 make it

Jay-Z
Jan 16lltr basedwellAs much as you guys shame "A&R mentality," this way of thinking is much more cynical.
So much of how we perceive music is based on marketing. If Jay Z had been less popular 4:44 goes from a late career defining classic to a dope album that gets talked about for 2 weeks.
G Herbo is all of a sudden appearing on AOTY lists. Not because he leveled up or because critics collectively woke up one day and realized how good he'd been for the last 10 years, but because he's getting better promotion. I have a feeling he's signed to the same agency as Adam Friedland.
Disclaimer: yes you pedantic nerds the streets were fw herbo this whole time but he's clearly getting a different kind of love now
G herbo improved as an artist and a rapper

BotneyNobody’s really getting the essence of what I'm saying. You’ll never feel the new album the way you did the first three or four, because those records came with your life.. first love, heartbreak, summer nights, memories you lived through.
The new one? It’s just you in your room with headphones, hoping it hits the same, but it can’t. Those first albums aren’t just music, they’re part of who you were back then.
How can you know this?
I will have new experiences in life when I’m 30+ I sure am planning to keep catching up with new music
If an album is good enough it breaks the barrier

it has to do with you all never being satisfied with new Drake or Cole albums
Both Cole and Drake dropped great albums in 2020s

HNVM was the closest he got to having a "Ray Of Light" but it still feels like he played it safe with the songwriting and vocals.
Awesome production on that joint though.

Jay-Z
Man. 4:44 really cemented Jay's legacy.
Jay in the 09-16 era was still a figurehead but was a posterchild for inconsistency both album and feature wise.

Jan 16·2 repliesBlack SmokeKendrick might be the artist with the longest peak ever. Been on it since GKMC
Nah, 2019-2023 is considered a down period in his career. He may have still released music that you enjoyed, but it was a decline on the heels of DAMN. and the Black Panther Soundtrack Album

one reason is mainstream art is as much about perception as anything else. once that new artist smell or the scent of success wears off, it's very hard to be perceived that way again.
