    Being a Drake fan and anti corporation is the biggest oxymoron there is

    That's my point it ain't even about drake, radio should NOT count more than digital sales or Dsps, natter of fact they have actively CUT streamings points when it comes to what drives the hot100

    But when I’ve said for years that The Weeknd was more popular than Drake globally they called me crazy

    Why do y’all want “popular = Grammy” so badly

    Even tho it basically has been that regardless

    it should at least be more transparent if people are gonna act like its the only award in music that matters.

    radio overplaying new songs instead of old songs wouldn't change the reality that almost none of the songs are hits.

    chart position doesn't matter when we've had many #1s over the past five years that have had no cultural dominance and are only remembered by chart stans. really, there's nothing anyone can do to change that, even if you eliminate radio from the equation altogether.

    Exactly. It’s not a radio problem. The problem is that mainstream artists are not dropping hit records this year. It’s as simple as that.

    Complaining about transparency on a forum full of s*** posters is funny to me

    That’s a societal problem not a Grammy problem

    Drake hates the Grammy’s and still submitted for 21

    Weeknd took a public stand against them for years and still came back and performed with a gay vampire last year

    it’s okay chief

    realistically i don't even see the hot 100 still being a relevant institution in ten years. not when tastes are so fragmented and less and less people are recognizing the hit records of today. it basically just exists so stans can try to game it for bragging points.

    the only reason why i still care is because the music industry falling apart is inherently interesting to me, and also because this has been a hobby of mine since i was a teenager and old habits die hard lol.

    "Glad yall can join everyone else" as if he speaks about these things when they don't concern Drake

    Grammy voters vote for who they listened to

    in 2013 the white voters listened to Macklemore The Heist, not no f***ing Good kid mad city, they skimmed through that s*** at best

    More and more black musicians on the voting board in 2025

    Clipse gonna take home a grammy because they actually listening to hiphop

    Grammy wins always based on narrative, and how special of a moment they think the album is. It’s why Beck won aoty over Lemonade. 5 old white men heard it and it shattered they world

    Also drake from a mainstream superstar perspective is one of the first to kinda even shun radio "billboard got me regulated.."

    Drake is not anti anything unless it’s specifically impacting him.

    He was showing up to Grammy nights until they stopped giving him wins.

    He was best friends with UMG until they promoted Not Like Us.

    He was the poster boy for Billboard until his songs stopped topping their charts.

    He doesn’t actually stand for anything, he just doesn’t like being on the losing end of things
