No, you can't put that label on Drake lol
He's not one of these guys prioritizing their fashion and the s*** they say in interviews like Kanye lol.
All he cares about is music, whether you think it's quality or not is subjective but he doesn't do all that extra s***
Kanye does s*** for PR all the time. His album rollouts are hardly about the music.
Man remarried his wife, had Marilyn Manson and DaBaby at the Donda listening events, lived at the stadium lol. Dude does the most for his albums to sell
I can't put that label on well known actor prior to hip hop so he's already a known face Drake?
I imagine this is what gangsta rap was like in 2004 to 2008 before Soulja Boy and Kanye saved the media scene
50 Cent was very engaging lol
I say this as a big fan that used to hate when niggas brought this up.
Was Kendrick's success/and in a larger picture: the big 3 a product of a weak era?
@FREE @Brave I'm curious to know specifically
This is an interesting question. I think it was the product of the blog era and the streaming era overlapping.
Blogs don’t get enough credit for the breaking of artist.
I lived on 2dopeboyz.

50 Cent is an outlier. Bro was born to be a media mogul.
compare the competition that niggas like jay was dealing with compared to him
Oh yeah definitely. You could also argue that Drake/Kenny/Cole/Nicki are the last major rappers that really gave a s*** about living up to the rap skill of previous gen’s greats while their peers only cared about emulating the pop appeal aspects of the previous gen
But that’s a convo that may hurt mfs feelings lol

You're saying Drake does things outside of rap like branding and merchandising for his albums to sell?
Where?
He's never been one of these fashion guys prioritizing merch, he doesn't talk crazy in interviews like Kanye for views, the most you could say is that he makes radio friendly music, but it's still about the music

And you’d be wrong as s*** lol
So much of the meme’d and regurgitated IG “mood” type page content comes from that era wtf lol

I guarantee I have less posts on here than you Childhood
IT‘S JOEVER
TIME FOR INDEPENDENT ARTISTS TO STEP UP AND START THE REVOLUTION!
TAKE OVER THE DEVILS INDUSTRY!
Rappers these days need to be more creative and step their game up.
It's stale right now.
it can't be Drake, Travis Scott, Kendrick, and Kanye all the time.

I was too young to remember, but where is the dark age era of the 2000's that people on here talk about then?
Is this decade the first time we're having so many boring personalities being pushed?
This is a hit. Let’s prop this up. You cant tell me this s*** can’t translate

I used to go over their year end list and just find so many gems.
He still has time to. I think his next project will be his 4:44
Idk,it always should've been Ye retiring after TLOP(honestly,after Ye)keeping his self relevant through interviews/Yeezy and features and then coming back around 2021-2022,challenging Drake to a sales battle and speaking his mind on the state of Hip Hop.
He needed to Jay behind him to make this viable tho,Kanye vs Drake in a sales battle was always the event this generation needed,Kanye just lost the plot and wanted acceptance when he felt his self slipping.

2000s criticism was more about beat choices and subject matters but the personalities were there
