    I’m just confused why some acting like he is an underdog he isn’t

    nah he’s not

    he has everything to lose at this point

    when you reach the heights Drake has, even a slight drop in anything is perceived as s***ty. cause the success

    a bad drake album runs laps around anything out today for the most part. so it’s just a unique position to be in

    Somehow Drake did that with Views and it still sold a million. Maybe it inflated pure sales though

    I'm not talking sales numbers, I'm talking the check he gets. I don't think he got 5 mill from apple

    Drake is the biggest artist in America. You think other entities are benefitting on his first week? Come on now n

    obviously drake is benefitting the most from it. his name is tied to this. however, there are other artists that are benefitting from this, just not as much as drake

    I'm saying no big name that competes with drake on a commercial level is benfitting from this.

    I'm not talking about Freddie Gibbs or currency.

    it’s not “the streams”

    what you’re doing is minimizing the win

    you realize you guys are very clearly in the minority when you say the album is bad right?

    you realize that by outselling and being favored by the masses just let’s you know he understands what’s he’s doing to a level that hasn’t been seen in a while.

    Dude drake came out in like 2008 lmfao

    it’s 2021.
    This guy has been dominating everyone for over a decade.

    I don’t think the album is bad . I enjoyed a solid 4 song stretch . Did any of my enjoyment come from “ a lot if people are listening to this too “

    No

    I'm lost or I'm just misreading this.

    basically just saying that once more and more people join streaming services, first week streams and therefore first week sales are gonna increase

    But it’ll probably be a few more years before it’s possible to hit the number of streams needed to sell 1m first week again

    No

    don’t really care about that

    at all

    im just making a point that you shouldn’t diminish what he has done potentially selling 600K in 2021.
    nobody is coming close man.

    mind you, I f***ed with Donda heavy. so i’m not just taking sides like some delusional nerd

    I guess but idk if I saw that Spotify was free then I would listen to drake and whoever else I wanted to listen to. Same way if I could watch all the movies I wanted to for a week, I’d watch the current blockbuster and whatever else I wanted to
