    Tems impact if we being honest

    Yes, the same Tems that's still yet to score a Billboard Hot 100 entry as a lead artist is the reason the song debuted at #1 and is stable in the top 10 right now.

    drake stimulus still exists cause obviously everyone's checking out the drake feature first.

    but unfortunately drake features don't mean instant year defining hits anymore

    idk what happened but after 2018/2019 that run of every drake feature being a lasting hit for months became few and far between

    You don't know what happened after 2018/2019? Life Is Good, Popstar, You're Mines Still? Those songs didn't become hits because of Drake/benefit from the Drake stimulus?

  • May 23, 2022

    Drake's stimulus has been the most powerful from 2009 and that still holds true 14 years later and every year y'all say it's dead until Drake hops on a song and proves y'all wrong yet again lmao.

    That's a lie because not every single Drake feature becomes a hit (what a silly, ridiculous expectation to have) and not all of those songs got pushed as singles. Most of them don't have music videos and never got sent to radio so they never reached their full potential.

    It's also foolish to think Drake alone can have multiple songs being out as features at the same time and ALL OF THEM will all become mega hits. There were some Drake features from 2018/2019 that never took off because other songs were taking off at the same time.

    What happens at the very least is that they end up being the highest-peaking/most-streamed songs from that artist's album and you can really only say that about Drake's features. It doesn't mean his stimulus ever lost its power when he hops on your song and it doesn't become a smash hit automatically but still, no artist can give a song added visibility like Drake can and ever artist knows that.

    the drake stimulus was definitely becoming less effective until wait for u came out, he had a string of features in 2021 that had little long term stability. although i think P power could have been a hit if it had been released with the original beat.

    I can't even listen to the official because the beat sounds like a youtube remake of the original. I honestly think that could've been a top 5 hit if it was released right

    Same. It had the most hype leading up to it's release and Drake hadn't dropped anything up until that point since CLB. Gunna really f***ed himself over with that. He probably should have never added the sample to begin with and then to make it worse, they f***ed up its release. By the time it dropped, the song was ruined and people had lost interest.

    Future played his own cards right with his own Drake feature and now he's got a hit out of it.

    I get what you mean, France actually says "stream equivalents" and converts sales to streams since they are the future.

    However the industry was still in the sales mindset when they created equivalents. Maybe one day way later they'll switch it around

    They definitely need to switch it cause streaming and buying music aren’t even remotely similar in regards to consumer intent

    so yeah, it's gonna be the biggest song on the album.

    unfortunately unlike before, drake features come and go..

    I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of Kendrick's sales. My wife just took our crying kids and said they're all spending the week at
    a hotel. This album has ruined my life and my party. I can't handle this anymore. Goodbye Kendrick. I am no longer a fan.

    Yeah a lot of what he saying is old and public knowledge but it’s cool to see him be more wiser. 50 should take notes.

    That last album was ass but based off the name I expect a lot of pop smoke/drill influence and drill production slap so hard anyone can sound fire on that so I got high hopes for game next album. But ima wait to hear singles/loosies before I get too excited.

    You waiting on Em!?

    I'm always waiting on Em. It's called loyalty, for over 20 years lol. I liked Side B and most of Side A, so yeah.

    Drillmatic is the wrong title for a Game album, but I'm ready to hear a single, I thought Eazy was fun.
