    He fluent in English, man. If you didn't know who he was, you would think it's his mother tongue.

    Drake doesn't need to do that, neither does he care to do that, apparently.

    Miss it though. Even Beyoncé going back to dropping singles.

    I get that. Sometimes, I wish he'd do that as well because it's the one sure way he knows to release multiple singles but I understand why he doesn't seem to want to go that route anymore. And it's not like he isn't dropping singles altogether. He's just dropping the singles after the album release, not before.

    200k+ opening weeks by hip-hop acts this decade:
    Drake — Certified Lover Boy: 613k
    Juice WRLD — Legends Never Die: 497k (bundles)
    Kanye West — Donda: 309k
    Kendrick Lamar — Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers: 295k
    Lil Uzi Vert — Eternal Atake: 288k
    J. Cole — The Off-Season: 282k
    Eminem — Music to Be Murdered By: 279k (bundles)
    Pop Smoke — Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon: 251k (bundles)
    Drake — Dark Lane Demo Tapes: 223k
    Future — I Never Liked You: 222k
    Logic — No Pressure: 221k (bundles)
    Drake — Honestly, Nevermind: 204k

    And someone here sees 223k with a surprise side project as a "flop"

    So far this decade, Drake has had 3 200k+ opening weeks. Every other person on the list has done it once. Interested in seeing how many people will be able to manage 200k+ opening weeks moving forward.

    Yeah. At least we're getting rap Drake again soon with Scary Hours 3. Maybe one of the songs will blow up like last time.

    So do many artists? it f***s many artists over because people get bored of the artist, seemingly hasn't happened with Drake yet, i guess cause he has too many different sounds

    never forget Migos output in 2018/2019, it was ridiculous lmao they made everyone bored as hell. Future has slowed his output down in recent years and it's seemingly benefitting him

    Honestly it hard to take it serious when you were saying s*** like Cope to anyone who offered an explanation why Kendrick album wasn't selling as much as Damn

    If he flopped then so did Drake. It's simple

    Neither Kendrick nor Drake flopped considering the circumstances of their releases and the industry around them. They both put up respectable #s versus their peers really

    I agree

    My preference would be she admit that and that she's helped to foster toxic thread environment that we can move on from but don't see that happening.

    Instead we just gonna get something bout 5 years and that the Drake album was really just a side project so u can't compare

    It's not that deep tho just it's still funny

    I honestly think both flopped lol but yea this is highly arguable

    drake for obvious reasons

    kendrick cause he barely outsold a 12 track Cole album which also lacked hits. If you had said on here 3 months ago that this woulda happenened you would have been clowned into existence.

    but lets be honest Post Malone's flop is the ugliest by a huge distance & I kinda wish there was more convo around that instead.

    Why should we even talk about Posty flopping lmao he even acknowledged it and said its ok for him, he’s also already working on his next album

    Nothing really to talk about this case

    Meanwhile Kendrick and Drake stans constantly said they’re doing over 500k easily fw but both flopped now lmao

    feels weird to just turn this into some stan wars thread lol we can do better than that. But there was also Post stans saying he's gonna do huge numbers, s*** only 3 years ago loads of them were saying he's gonna take Drake's spot.

    with Kendrick & Drake it's clear they can easily do higher numbers with their next albums... But with Post Malone it isn't as clear anymore, all of his singles since HB did eh & even the song with Doja Cat on the latest album really isn't doing that great.

    this is an artist with 2 of the top 5 most streamed spotify albums of all time...going from that to this new album is insane.
