I want to talk music when the conversation is about music. This specific conversation we were having was about whether or not the charts are the end all be all

Being on the charts does not equal quality.

I’m not saying Drake isn’t quality

But his presence on the charts does not equate to that

The point that Drake stans only know quantity is proven by your response to what I said. You went immediately to success and numbers. That’s quantity

I never said charts are the end all be all at any point in time or implied it.

Like 3-4 posts ago i said

I can't pinpoint how much or at what point but at somepoint the length of time of the charts says something about quality.

Then I expanded on that by pointing out us talking about how great something is cant say more than us actively playing//listening to it.
Then expanded on that by pointing out why would a Drake fan online talk to others about the music when we just get called stupid.
Then you call me a twitter pop stan.

So charts mean something, they point toward consensus.
Unsure how much that truly matter but at some point it has to.

Kanye and Jay Z have both. Drake used to but doesn’t anymore. That’s why the former don’t have to bring up sales

Drake also has 100s of more songs. I think a better metric would be % of streams based on tracks released. I.e. # of songs / # of streams

2005 is nearly 20 years ago, are you not familiar with people changing their ways?

Kendrick was out-streamed in 2023 by Juice World, Travis and XXX.
What's the real benchmark to music quality, the s*** what critics say or what the culture feeling?

It’s a combination of everything. There’s not one single thing you can point to.

The fact that this even has to be explained tells me you’re probably not even from the USA and your only engagement with “the culture” is through the internet and chart data

If charts are the end all be all then why aren’t more people here Morgan Wallen or Taylor Swift fans

So USA is the only benchmark of culture or the whole wide world?

that accent is fake, Drake wasn't talking like that in 2005. he had a normal toronto accent. i remember back in the early 00s there was a dvd called hood report that did Toronto hoods. Back then you can hear the accent but they def sounded more new yorkish back then. now they got this over exaggerated toronto/jamaican/south london accent.

drake is a narcissist, portraying himself to be a different individual to different people, the absence of a solid core of identify means that it's very easy for Drake to shift into these different personas.

It’s his numbers though. I’m not talking about the artists themselves but the discourse amongst the fans.
