I remember a clip going viral on social media when Euphoria dropped of Lil Wayne talking to some interviewer about Drake and he said something like where he shouldn't adopt the "street s***" that Wayne talks about and just stick to what he knows, stick to talking about girls and his feelings and stuff like that

I think that's the real failure of Drake and its ironically the demeanor and tough act he adopted to get respect from the broader "culture" after hip-hop rejected him is what bites him back in the ass now

Does this imply you'd rather people die over rap beef?

No, he's just pointing out what the stakes were like, and still are for some artists

also Drake has been the one agitating on that type of timing for years towards perceived enemies, he flexes his alleged street ties directly all the time in his songs and videos (Hell's Angels, Quebec Mafia, Reps Up affiliates, etc.), he likes shouting out his goons such as Baka and Chubbs (the most well-known)

Most recently in Family Matters in a diss towards Weeknd:

If Drake shooters doing TikToks, nigga
Realest shooter in your gang, that's P's brother, y'all ain't getting s*** shot, nigga

If you're bringing that type of energy, don't be surprised if it comes back at you, and if you wanna go to war, you go to war

I think a smart person could see that Kendrick bringing out a bunch of gangs (mostly Blood sets) at The Pop Out and the NLU video and featuring certain affiliated artists on his new album was sending a message to Drake if he wanted to take it to that level

Tragically this is what got both Pac and BIG killed and probably why Drake's security guard got shot only a day or two after that song was released

Glad i could do it, TheBoyDuddas

I'm trying to understand what people mean by "over" here.

Would ya'll consider Lil Uzi's career "over?"

it did what should have been expected for what it was, when it was and how it was

The “summer vibes” Drake was talking about was the Camilla cabello feature and them dance songs with carnage. Nobody cared 💀

Niggas still ain't answer my question about Uzi...

You're only as good as your last record, but of course you could always come back. It's just that, with Uzi, he keeps making excuses about the stuff he releases and eventually, that goodwill is gonna run out. People not giving a s*** anymore is the death sentence, not necessarily a bad project

KTT is the new Reddit

Drake needs to lock in 40 for his next solo album. I know he sick and all so even if he needs to take his time just comeback in 2+ years or so, have the people hungry. Drop a good Pop single with worldwide appeal, drop a good album, and he'll sell well, it isnt that difficult tbh.

He'll sell well even with a s***ty rollout, as long as it's not that oontz oontz bullshit

Not quite that but it's def a bubble.

Like if you talk to people irl, you'll find that people view artists in a way more neutral way than people online do due to stan culture.

The reason I bring Uzi up is because he just dropped a bad album that flopped and I wanted to know what the litmus test for being "over" us.

I'm sure tons of people here would say Lil Wayne's career is "over" too due to dropping some collab albums that flopped commercially. But I'm sure a properly promoted C6 would change that around.

It's just too subjective of a thing. Niggas calling Drake a "legacy act" when FATD and CLB are still charting right now. Yeah...they're both pretty mediocre albums but nothing indicates that Drake's living off his prime albums lol.

Aye dont call oontz oontz music bullshit!

Idk but man wasnt he involved in around 13 singles in 2024, and basically all of them essentially flopped. Thats quite bad

There are a lot of stupid questions here these days Smh

Yes. Stick a fork in em.

it's over if he sticks to the tough guy rap/sometimes R&B bag that he's been in this decade

if he gets back into his Scorpion bag then he'll have a new peak

hopefully

“Keep it Canadian”

Nah. Will just not hit the commercial highs he could hit casually before.

Scorpion is exactly that

Since IYRTITL it's been the tough guy act

Drake’s “over” is still actually superstar level so it’s a tricky one lmao

I was always a Drake stan but lets be real his last good album was Views

:(
