Drake is basically a billionaire with a huge conglomerate behind him and you're talking about him not winning.

he better cook up on the next project then

OVO Estate needs a grotto for the pool

I'm shocked this was the first Jewish post ITT

Why would want your artist to get big? They might end up replacing you.

you gotta deal with @KingOfPop now nigga lol

When was the last time Drake truly cooked up? Lol

That’s cool, but

several things i’d like to say here
1. as an OG Drake fan, you stans are incredibly annoying. i used to think i couldnt be impartial but gahdamn yall have me beat. yall legit in love with this nigga and i dont mean it in a good way. actually pretty pathetic
2. @op great read and props to writing all this info out. i hope to see more legitimate investigative threads like this one in the music sxn
3. lots of this makes sense. all of it isnt inherently bad (someone mentioned that earlier in the thread) but the long term effects of how things play out and how its distributed to the masses, could be detrimental. not saying drake is some super villain (yet) but you dont reach these heights being a superhero either
4. this last point really has nothing to do with the subject matter but my goodness, we are cooked as a society if anyone deems this “too much to read”. niggas used to get SHAMED for not knowing how to read and i feel like we dont do that s*** enough

I don't know if you remember but the mainstream media and hip-hop gatekeepers use to clown him so much early on in the SFG and TML days. Now he can usurp them and help fight the system within for artists that were in a similar position as him

That's not heartless thats genius and poetic justice. I'm glad we have an artist with leverage and not a room full of executives with no experience climbing up the industry. Just my two cents but remember none of this could be true we're still waiting for evidence

Personal feelings aside I'm curious, why is any of this heartless? He finally beat the industry at their own game this could open the door for everyone

Fr thats what im sayin lol

This is standard business. It may be another stain on his name but slander hasnt stopped him so far.

bro i think you drank too much coolaid

Drake was the 4th biggest UMG artist of 2023 btw

Idk why but sports fans defining owners by how well they treat the team is never not funny to me fr it's universal

Drake replaced Wayne

I’m starting to think this could potentially explain why Carti hasn’t been releasing music on streaming lately either

If Kanye was freaking out about his catalog due to Drake’s prominence in the music industry and he finally got to be independent, I wouldn’t doubt he’s telling Carti all about the politics that go into it

Maybe him dropping these loosies off of streaming is like a not-so-subtle middle finger

For All the Dogs out now on all streaming services available to you.

im crine. a business conglomerate is now "spooky"

now that you put it like this -- thats absolutely f***ing crazy

Lil Wayne was everywhere then he signed drake…

Playing Tried Our Best rn. Drizzy cooked up another classic album

i respect you too much too argue

these ownership bars are super weird lowkey
