He used the South and his Texas influence as a huge crutch. All rappers have personas, but Drake a straight up character, he makes this s*** up as he goes.
The shift pretty much started at Versace. That’s when he started to really move into this Drake we see now. I think the success of that and Tony Montana and Sh!t made him realize “oh s***, this is the finesse”
Same with Kendrick taking Travis on the DAMN. tour
Drake fans just weirdos

Right? Kanye brought Kenrick out for Yeezus tour
Kendrick was opening for Kanye, but no one says Kanye put Kendrick on
Kendricks performances improved massively after the tour, i think he gave Ye credit for that
I found that s*** this real?

They act like that tour or feature on TC gave any boost to his music sales when in fact it didn't do s*** lol
S80 had massive internet hype then when he signed to Interscope they were doing mad promo for the GKMC rollout, he was doing like a year long promo which started with The Recipe if u was there u remember, he was also doing so many features, interviews, freestyles, shows etc

The full coronation was IYRTITL, good album but you could feel the tonal shift. Signing to YMCMB and not somewhere like GOOD or Roc Nation, where they would've pushed him way more into being Pop then street, helped alot too

His feature run before gkmc was insane I wish I still had all the songs downloaded

Yeezus tour was more important to Kendrick and his career than that Drake tour. He gave us TPAB and UU from the recordings following that tour and this quote during tour
Those things that people called ‘rants’ on-stage are real conversations that we had behind closed doors, about business and how when you get to a certain level people won’t want to see you break through because they only see you as a rapper

The funniest thing is Drake most definitely thinks exactly like they do:
“Look I brought them on tour, and they wouldn’t let me sign them, or take their song or sleep with their wife or have s***with me…how ungrateful, do they know who I am?”
The video of school kids asking who invited him to a party is exactly the kind of loser he is.
Besides GTA V was the real Kendrick stimulus check if we are being for real. Whole TDE stock went way up because of that.

Yep and then made the full transition in 2016 with the new generation south hood dudes and UK drill. Can’t forget having to find new ways to keep all black people on all sides still f***ing with him 🤔 enter Wizkid, Popcaan and Drake’s afrobeat run alongside the gangsta tone to really set the image in stone and make people forget the corny dude we all used to roast

Temp fade Drake is starting to become one of my most hated eras in rap lol, fashion sound wise. Cause people really sucked off his generic takes on afrobeats, Pop and of course, riding the new Trap wave. It's one of the lamest runs in rap history because of Drakes heavy pandering, and his d*** riding fanbase.
The man never attempted to be an artist during that era, solely an entertainer

GTA V was a big look for them for sure but they were already known by then
The moment when they passed him the torch on stage was also a big moment, there was so much stuff happening between S80 and GKMC

I feel like if he didn’t drop Taylor Made, people would be more sympathetic to him getting s*** beat down his leg
nigga gave him the whole gameplay

yeah now that you mention it, i remember there was one song, what was "I"? that sounded way different. like more poppy, and after yeezus tour he changed direction and reworked it, and then TPAB came out. Kanye definitely influenced him 100% during that tiem period
