For f***s sake, Fair Trade (not even a hit) is in his spotify top 10 but Toosie isn't

It’s such a big hit that Drake doesn’t even perform it on tour!

THIS is exactly what I’m talking about when I say Drake is the PLATFORM.

An unknown artist drops a song that’s viral online, not much chart activity.

Drake does a remix and BOOM it skyrockets to the Top 20 on the Hot 100. Drake could’ve dropped the worst verse of all time and this remix still was gonna chart high

Toosie Slide: spammed the f*** out of by Pop radio for a Tik Tok snippet, frontloaded into a number 1 debut, yet finished barely inside the top 40 on the Billboard Year End list. Sounds about right

This prediction just happen to come out while we're on the subject. Further proof Drake's efforts add a lot of substance to the songs that people gravitate towards that wouldn't exist without him

Toosie Slide had sold over 5M units as at this time in 2022.

Money in the Grave spent only 1 week in the Hot 100 top 10 before falling off but it's certified 6x Platinum and it's not even at 1B streams on Spotify yet lmao.

Knife Talk? 5 weeks in the Hot 100 top 10 and is already certified 5x Platinum. Search & Rescue has already moved over 3M units in the US. Rich Flex is almost at 5M units in the US. CIrco Loco has already crossed 2M units in the US.

You're stupid thinking Drake's songs don't keep doing massive numbers in the US after their release simply because they don't spend months in the Hot 100 top 10. Many of the songs that spend that much in the top 10 only do so because of radio doing most of the the heavy-lifting.

Drake has dozens of other hits he doesn't perform on tour as well, dummy

Drake would need to perform on stage for 10 hours every day to cover all his hits lmao.

They're really mad that Drake still moves the needle till now. His success really has these goofies pressed and upset. Yikes.

He’s literally the platform

Like what are we doing

Why would he not perform one of his biggest songs, according to you, that’s dropped since 2020? He performs all of his other big songs since then (especially the ones with features!)

Nobody’s mad. We’re acknowledging that he’s still big enough to be a huge platform for smaller artists. That 4batz chart jump literally proves what I’ve been saying about him being a platform nowadays more than anything else. He’s a name brand, people see Drake and they click

Didn’t read

No, he doesn't. It's dozens of hits Drake doesn't perform simply because he's always dropping new s*** that he has to perform. For instance, this year on tour, he's doing a bunch of songs off For All the Dogs because that's his latest project. When he toured in the summer last year, those songs weren't on the setlist.

Look at his setlist. It's dozens of hits that don't make the cut simply because he can't perform all his hits.

Yes, they only listen to Drake's music because he's a name brand, not because they enjoy his music. And his songs keep moving units even after they don't chart well because he's a name brand, not because they enjoy his music and keep listening to it

He has the strongest back catalog in music after Taylor Swift, not because people enjoy his music and so they keep listening years later but because he's a name brand

All these excuses, all to talk down on the success of a man who has been the most dominant name in rap music in the past 2 decades is embarrassing coming from you. It's clear his success annoys you. Find a way to deal with that.

Bro just yappin lmao
He wanted to bring Drake up as some sort of gotcha when he should just be celebrating kanye finally getting a #1 record again

On the first leg, before For All the Dogs came out, he performed the biggest songs off Her Loss (Rich Flex and Spin Bout U), the biggest songs off of CLB (Way 2 Sexy/Knife Talk), the biggest song off HNVM (Jimmy Cooks), his biggest single of 2020 (LNCL), and his biggest most recent single (Search & Rescue).

If Toosie Slide really was as big as you claim it to be, he wouldn’t have conveniently left it off of a setlist that has all of his other biggest songs from the same time period

That's all dude had to do. According to him, people only listen to Drake because he's a popular name but he's part of the idiots who were here pushing Vultures debuting at #1 with over 100k as some sort of major W like Kanye will ever drop an album that won't manage that lmao.

Bro mad that Drake gets people to listen

It happens when you put in a decade plus of good work

I’m not mad at all it’s just acknowledging it

Y’all are the ones trying to make it something different

I brought up Drake because Divine brought up Drake

You're an idiot, for real lmao. I'm not claiming anything. It is a huge hit record. Go cry somewhere else. Wants and Needs is a massive hit and he doesn't perform that either. I guess it's not a hit it's not on his setlist as well, right?

Seething

Give flowers while it's happening bro we won't see this ever again

Nigga I read the thread
Yall literally brought up drake for no reason.
