Drake lost
but he dropped the better album I’m not gonna lie
Frat brother, real nigga, that brother
We just upped the score, give me dap, brother
Spirit medium, I don't rap, brother
We headed there now, are you strapped brother?
This is why JIK didn’t sell well
Kanye’s fanbase post 2010 has been overrun by white hipsters. The most dangerous kind of people because they can hide their passive racism behind a thin veneer of faux-progressivism. So there’s two things going on here.
A) they prefer “artsy” hip hop because that is more comfortable for their white, indie music sensibilities. JIK is a raw gospel album - a historically black genre of music - and isn’t quirky enough and doesn’t have any Bon Iver features so naturally they want nothing to do with it. B) Even tho they’ll never admit it, they prefer their black entertainers to be wilding out making fools of themselves - as long as it doesn’t offend their liberal proclivities. They can’t stand seeing a black man search for meaning and positivity in his life. This reaction is further exacerbated because it’s explicitly religious music. I’m an atheist but many of these edgy types think religion is a purely evil thing which can’t possibly be a source for some people to grow, change, and better themselves which is false.
So it’s a combination of casual liberal racism and people simply not being actual hip hop fans (which is a byproduct of said racism)

You can't picture any of these Drake songs being played on the radio?
I was told in the album thread that the hoes would be bumping this s*** all summer, that it's an album for people who dance and go outside, TikTok's gonna love it
no radio is playing Count Me Out buddy
Takes like a minute and a half for the beat to kick in on Rich Spirit too
Mans should've said Silent Hill
But I doubt Danny is being serious
Some of yall really don’t have nothing going on in your lives and it tells, I’m glad y’all finally can happy with something
I’m out, boutta bump drakes album with real people
they bout to tell you to turn that s*** off
Just remembered how Drake super die hard stans had foam in their mouth 'cause he was dropping the album on Kendrick's birthday
