    Yes, he literally wasn't lol this isn't news to anyone except delusional drake haters

    he was doing well & had a good career. but he was nowhere near as big as he was after that. the numbers literally show that

    I swear even Durk said this himself

    Even Lil Durk has acknowledged what LNCL did for his career

    Same for Yung Bleu and virtually any artist Drake collabs with lmao. They know who to come to for the sauce. These artists aren't nearly as stupid as some of these posters who think they know more than the actual people in the industry.

    Since we’ve established that pure sales don’t count anymore, Drake did 193K. Strong showing.

    true he shouldve waited 5 years to drop. real artist

    The 5 year narrative needs to stop unless you can back it up. I ask again, give me examples of rappers who left for 5+ years and it benefited them.

    I know this is a thinly veiled Drake appreciation thread but it’s only fair to treat it as a sales discussion thread. Bad Bunny’s sales are objectively impressive as hell. If y’all take giving the man his flowers as a Drake sub, that’s on you not us.

    Man, shut up. All you've done the past week is s*** on Drake's career and all he's accomplished. At least, the other trolls just s*** on the album sales for HN. You've gone over and beyond to try to downplay all that man has done and that is what will never fly.

    I noticed this too. They only listen to artists in the Drake universe like Partynextdoor, Lil Baby (after Yes Indeed), The Weeknd, etc.

    Them stans don’t really know what’s going on until Drake works with them. That’s why they usually have bad takes when it comes to hip hop.

    They not really hip hop fans tbh. Everyone that was paying attention to Durk know no auto, Von and India played a bigger role in his come up than Drake. Drake already knew Durk was that nigga, that’s why he worked with him. Niggas never give the actual artists the credit for putting the work in for years to get their career booming. They credit everyone’s success to Drake cause they not really tapped in like that.

    why will we look dumb lol everyone knows its inevitable, he's huge in countries with 10x more people

    They're mad dumb. Bad Bunny did 9B streams last year but so did Drake. Don't let that clown let you believe Drake isn't streaming well on Spotify. He's averaging 10B streams per year on Spotify, same with Bad Bunny lmao. Just check the dates of each tweet.

    Frank Ocean isn’t a rapper, it was 4 years and it was a follow up to a debut album. I’m asking for established rappers.

    Just like Drake acknowledged Pusha gave him the L and you people ignore that lol

    Durk already had the sauce, no amount of casual fan cope will change that.

    That’s fine but there’s zero precedent to assume that a rapper leaving for 5 years should sell more instead of less on return.
