Was Eminem ever a s***symbol? Drake is way better looking. Smells better. Bigger d***. The comparison doesn't make any sense.
He's basically the melodic/pop version of eminem.
Call their albums bad and their stans become mathematicians.
Eminem is still technically bigger overall than Drake, especially overseas.
That's why, to the masses, peak/prime >> longevity/consistency in rap.
Eminem, Wayne, 50, and Snoop had primes so massive and ingrained in the masses's minds that they can drop mid for the rest of their careers and still be bigger household names than Kendrick, J Cole, and Future. Ain't that some s***.
The fall off from prime Em to now is massive levels worse than from Prime Drake to now though.
Yeah he hasn’t had a real hit since God’s Plan
Everything after 2018 is fake hits. One week hits
Bot play for sure
I think Shabang and Janice STFU are a return to his real hits ngl. He restored the feeling on this album cycle that he was missing for a long time.

well keep in mind drake is 14 years younger so this would be the equivalent of eminem after recovery and leading up to MMLP2
In the original Drake pre mob boss following Kanye’s footsteps as mainstream unique guy trajectory Views From The 6 is his condensed rap instant classic and then he genre bends/switches sound completely for the next one
Holy run on sentence
If Views a condensed rap classic why most the singles not even rap
The parallels are there. And I’ve thought the same thing too. @op made some good points

In my feelings was his last real hit imo
Eminem never dropped a song like Classic
Eminem just be talking about beating and raping women casually

To shock people. Drake rape lyrics make him sound like the victim for doing it
The funny thing is: Even though we recognize Eminem's dip in quality, his numbers are still f***ing insane.
Em's a 50 something grandpa still outstreaming 80% of rappers rn and all of his albums barring Infinite(which hardly counts) have done good numbers. That includes TDOSS.
It's funny how niggas here be using numbers and charts to claim that "people outside" determine the quality of music and critics are whack. But, when it comes to Eminem, that goes completely out the window lol.
Like I get that Drake's music is easier on the ears and more club friendly than Eminem but this is a classic case of "Is it Oochie Wally or One Mic" because the stat sheets get brought up when niggas criticize Drake's music.

Times have also changed. Music isn’t really the same utility it was in the 90s / early 2000s.
Drake is black with lightskin privilege. I don’t get the comparison though, Eminem fans are a different breed lmao

Nokia was a hit just blocked by a bigger hit, it happens, just ask Mike
So tired of this
