szastan03we clown every artist that flops. this time it's Drake's turn to get clowned
it ain't that deep fr
It's way deeper than that because y'all have been on a mission to "humble" Drake fans for years now. It's got mad weird when y'all became fake Kenny Chesney fans to mock DLDT's numbers.

flops are relative to the artist we are talking about, not the whole landscape

Jul 5, 2022·3 repliesthegreatdivineKendrick's numbers are disappointing ONLY because it's Kendrick. It'd be the same if Adele dropped and did 200k. Why were Dawn FM's numbers seen as an L? Because it's the Weeknd. His previous 3 albums before Dawn FM did between 444k, 348k and 412k respectively. That creates an expectation, whether you like it or not. Now, if Dawn FM had done like 275k, no one in their right mind would call it an L because while it's a decline, it's not a steep decline. To show you how much of an L Dawn FM was, Starboy (2016) pulled more on-demand audio streams than an album released in 2022, so it wasn't just about a sales decline. The album legit flopped.
As for Kendrick, DAMN was released 5 years ago and did 340M on-demand audio streams. Not thoroughly outdoing those numbers now will be an L because streaming has grown and this album has more tracks. That's how the Ls are being classified.
If a Drake album does 300k tomorrow, even if no one else in the game is doing 200k, people will automatically see it as an L for Drake because it's Drake and because they know what he's used to doing. That's where this all comes from, not because anyone is trying to put Kendrick down.
As for you saying people think Drake's next album will do a million first week, I've personally never seen that and I'd like to assume no one in their right mind is stupid enough to think that will happen.

e tIm not a Kendrick Stan and HN is probably top 3 Drake albums for me but im talking about his rap/rnb bag. He peaked years ago, it’s not even a debate
But aren’t you a Ye stan

I think you hit the nail on the head, he's been in the game for close to 15 years now and he's still singing/rapping about the same s***.
In terms of the bars being weaker I would probably disagree because a lot of his newer stuff has a lot of throwaways (it makes sense because he releases so much music).
I always felt drake was very hit or miss from the start of his career, however it seemed he was a little more inspired and authentic earlier on.
interesting, I'd argue he's more authentic and inspired in the last 7~ years than ever before. His first few projects were extremely inspired by other artists like Wayne & sounds very similar to other artists back then
but ever since Views he has gone his own lane, Views sounds like nothing anyone else has put out, same with More Life, same with Honestlynvm. Same with 2nd half of Scorpion
I'd worry more if he started throwing out constant rap projects. CLB was a bit worrying in terms of inspiration/authenticity

yeah true, take care/nwts also were his own
it's just the projects before them which felt like copies a bit. Plus IYRTITL/WATTBA

I forget that some of you don't understand the concept of changing your opinions on something following the provision of more information/understanding. I wonder how y'all operate in the real world.
Anyone who has been here for more than a year knows that I will always say what I feel about a song/album the moment I hear it. Y'all act like because I'm a Drake fan, it should be illegal for me to dislike something he drops. It doesn't work that way. There are several Drake songs (especially leaks) that have dropped that I've thought were wack and I state that clearly. If my opinions on those ever change, I'll state that as well. Ain't nothing to it.
Honestly, Nevermind was always going to need to grow on most people. Very few people listened to that album once and "got it." Drake himself understood that and that's exactly what's been happening. Like I said, the first few songs off the album threw me off (many other people felt the same way), but the album takes a turn on track 4 and maintains that consistency till the end of the album and when you take your time with the album, you realize that it's as solid a body of work as Drake has ever released. It might just take you letting go of your idea of what a Drake album should sound like to realize that.
