He was popular af before IYRTITL or NWTS.
His rap hits before those 2 albums consisted of: Headlines, I'm On One, Forever, HYFR, Over, She Will, The Motto, and some more. Even if you didnt like his music, you didnt change the radio when song like Headlines came on.
He just wasn't respected by a large portion of Hip Hop fans until IYRTITL and the Meek beef, which is a big difference.
I know he was big since the start, I just see TC, SFG etc being way less remembered in Drake's discussions
his confidence on iyrtitl was unreal
It’s like y’all get on here and think of the worst possible takes, type them up, and just hit “post thread”

Weird, I always see people bigging up Take Care.
IYRT is his least succesful album though. he just catered more to a new audience of people saying ''i dont like singing drake'', not really a bigger audience if that makes sense
It's a mixtape though. But it was the project that divided his career

yeah i don't think the issue was that people "didnt care" about his music, it was just that he wasn't respect
i specifically remember the day IYRT dropped and it was like the public attitude of him completely changed overnight
"is drake vs pusha t mean kanye is better than drake does or classics??????"
you got me there
"Drake is soft" jokes didn't hit the same after IYRTITL. Plus he won that Meek beef, 2015 was a hell of a year for Drizzy

yeah i get what you mean. drake himself said that he hated that people were doing the ''drake's is the type of fella..'' memes all the time if i remember correctly and wanted to get rid of it by dropping something harder and it actually worked
