It’s gonna be interesting to see how the cope will grow and evolve over the next couple years

They really treat the rest of the world like they’re mindless NPCs

He did 19 North American shows on the first leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour. And he did 30 shows in Europe. He’s definitely next to nothing without his success in the US!

welp wrap this thread up. biggest gangster in the music industry is coming

Yeah, if you ignore take care, views, scorpion, clb Drake era. Just cuz Kendrick hasn't had a year like that before doesn't mean its new to Drake. I swear to god some of y'all live in a different reality

Compare this to Drake’s touring splits in NA/Europe:

2016 NA Tour - 54 shows
2017 Europe Tour - 43 shows
2018 NA Tour - 54 shows
2019 Europe Tour - 23 shows
2023 NA Tour - 80 shows
2025 Europe Tour - 37 shows

These are all arena tours too, so the total attendance is much lower than Weeknd’s stadium tour. Drake sold 285K tickets in 23 shows on his 2019 European tour. The Weeknd sold 1.6M tickets in 30 shows on his 2024 European tour.

These guys aren’t even in the same stratosphere on the international level. Saying that The Weeknd would be next to nothing outside of the US is a ridiculous take

I got morgan wallen taking back the throne in week 5

Watch your mouth MAGA Kronic

Drake has never had a year like winning the biggest rap battle of all time and having his victory lap at the superbowl

He never will either, good back catalog tho, will be a serviceable legacy act

Nigga, shut up. I'm speaking strictly about his commercial viability and his power as a superstar. Don't talk to me about the most influential R&B artist when that happened with House of Balloons which is 15 years now. What else has he done since then that has influenced the genre in any meaningful way?

He don’t need to. That one project single handedly changed the landscape of R&B. Without that mixtape, the album that everyone loves most from your guy wouldn’t exist

None of those moments are bigger than Kendrick’s 2024

Here's hoping that Taylor Swift album comes sooner rather than later.

Niggas still holding on to the glory of House of Balloons for the Weeknd and that's the problem. That'd be like if Drake fans were still pointing to So Far Gone as what Drake has done that impacted rap.

Drake has never influenced rap music though. He just made popular music. There’s a difference

Might be the least influential superstar of all time

His biggest musical offspring is probably Jack Harlow

Also, Weeknd completely influenced pop music in the 2010s and 2020s. Never before was there a chart-topping pop song as dark as The Hills, and everyone and their grandmother was trying to ape synth-pop post-Blinding Lights

no comment

not bigger than gods plan

Not Like Us is way bigger than God’s Plan man stop it

so its kendricks biggest song 🤔

and kendricks is baby keem ☠️

I'd rather have Baby Keem as a musical offspring than C***Harlow tbh

Yes? Nobody said it wasn’t
