Really the only genuine “numbers hunting” activity he’s done in recent memory was take SH3 onto the end of FATD as a deluxe

His numbers seeking comes in the approach he takes in making music and making projects, it’s not always about gimmick sales tactics.

It’s no coincidence that around the same time Drake became this monster commercially is around the same time most people started to believe he began to decline creatively.

It looks like he’s “barely doing anything” but honestly every music move this dude has made since 2016, besides Honestly, Nevermind, has been a numbers hunt

From 2009 to 2015, he had one project that was 20+ tracks, and it was the deluxe version of Take Care with two bonus songs added onto it.

Since 2016, 5/8 of the projects he’s dropped have been well over 20+ tracks, with various styles and sounds spread out all over those tracklists.

You can’t tell me that’s not a calculated attempt to maximize numbers. He even said he feels the need to cater to all of these different sections of his fanbases, and that’s why we keep getting these bloated, scattershot projects from him nowadays

You sound stupid. Drake has always made catchy bops. When he wasn't scoring #1s and top 10 hits like candy, he wasn't fishing for hits but the moment he started getting them, it means he started fishing for them? Do you see how dumb you sound?

Drake is the only major mainstream artist that's never done bundles, used radio deals, pushed numerous remixes and utilised other industry tactics to boost his position on the charts. He quite literally just drops his music and keeps it moving, but according to you, that, along with him making the type of music he has ALWAYS made, means he's fishing for hits.

I keep forgetting that some of you on this site are really just bumbling buffoons who aren't worthy of any sort of correspondence.

Now Drake making long-ass, sonically diverse projects is proof of him being numbers-obsessed

I wonder if some of you listened to So Far Gone or Thank Me Later or Take Care or Nothing Was that Same. On each of those projects, Drake is playing with at least THREE different genres (rap, R&B, pop). He has ALWAYS made diverse music and played with various sounds. That's literally his identity as an artist.

He has also always had long-ass projects:
Room for Improvement: 20+ songs
Comeback Season: 20+ songs
So Far Gone: 18 songs
Thank Me Later: 14 songs
Take Care: 20 songs
Nothing Was the Same: 15 songs
IYRTITL: 17 songs (19 songs on the physical version)
WATTBA: 11 songs
Views, More Life, Scorpion, CLB, FATD: 20+ songs
Care Package: 17 songs
DLDT: 14 songs
Her Loss: 15 songs

Take the average of all those projects lmao. Y'all are so f***ing dumb, man.

The room for improvement and comeback season comparisons are disingenuous because they’re mixtapes with skits. His albums did get longer with the streaming era and Views was revolutionary in setting a lot of standards for streaming era albums

Every music move he has made has been a numbers hunt?
are you just drunk? or do you genuinely think Latto, Young Thug, Sexxy Redd, Lil Yachty, Snowd4y, Teezo Touchdown, Chief Keef, PARTYNEXTDOOR, YEAT, GORDO, Camila Cabello, are helping Drake get numbers?

They're all from the last 12 months. The only collabs he has done with top artists are 21, J Cole, Bad Bunny, SZA. There's literally 3x more collabs with basically bums. It has been like that for years. Go look at the features on Views/Scorpion, there's barely any at all

He's even making a whole collab album with PND right now lol, I love PND but there's at least 100 artists that would help Drake get more numbers than PND

Compare this to what Post Malone's just done with his new album and it's night and day lmao

with various styles and sounds spread out all over those tracklists.

Ironically you're proving your own points wrong here lmao because almost all of those sounds are s*** that isn't even trendy. People begged Drake for years to make an actual rap album after IYRTITL and he never even did it until Her Loss.

More Life is a great example because it's literally a whole album full of music that wasn't popular at all in the US, even in the UK, yet he did it cause he f***ed with it & the artists, there's so many artists on that that were unheard of in the US
