    Nah the music was just o*****atic. Nothing he has done after has been as magical. Kiss Land comes close. So does MDM and maybe Dawn. Rest? Is great but not Trilogy level or close

    Dawn, After Hours, and Kiss Land all stand toe to toe with Trilogy, that’s more than half of his studio albums

    But you’re the one who said “Weeknd HELPED write Shot For Me” as if you have insight on the situation so that feels like a lame cop out ngl fam

    We can draw conclusions, but no I guess only you can draw conclusions, once I come with mine it’s “we can never know”. I guess only conclusions that are most favorable to drake are allowed

    It just sounds like an Abel track to me and then there’s the verse that’s more of an obvious drake verse. It seems like it could’ve come together almost like Crew Love but Drake sings The Weeknd part.

    And it doesn’t matter at all or make drake any less for it, he still makes ideas better

    Give it a rest

    Give it a rest

    Still don’t really mean that much because co-wrote could mean anything

    It’s very likely that Shot For Me and Practice originally existed as Abel tracks originally. Idk what the point of denying this likelihood is

    If you still think Trilogy is Abel’s best work in the year 2023, you don’t like music, you just like who you were at the time you discovered those mixtapes

    Legendary smugness

    Arguing for Drake by criticizing Abel’s current work to just be “popular music”

    Gotta love the irony

    Drake's music is popular but it's also impactful/influential. Drake made One Dance and countless acts started seeking out Nigerian acts to recreate that magic. In 218, he scored two #1 hits using a New Orleans bounce sound and all of a sudden, niggas start making bounce records out of nowhere.

    No one has looked at what Abel has done since BBTM and said "yeah, let me try to do that" and not because they can't. They just don't care to and Abel has scored massive hits since then.

    Drake tries his hand at a sound and everyone follows suit. Abel ain't doing that.

    And whenever people discuss Drake’s impact/influence on popular music, they stop at Take Care. What is your point

    No, they don't lmao.

    Weeknd is globally way more impactful than Drake and nothing really wrong with that. Hip Hop just has a certain ceiling how far it can go. Weeknd is popular in parts like Asia where Drake is not even relevant

    Are you delusional?

    Imagine denying the obvious and overt 80s revival from 2020-now that started after Abel and Dua dropped those singles at the end of 2019

    since evreybody here is arguing who has the most impactful music between drake and abel. i dont really know about it since im fairly new to western music but we will see what the "gp" think ig

    Bro theyre both super impactful you wont see it til like 5 years after theyre both done like 50 in 03 and wayne in 09 feels so much bigger now than they did back then in the moment.

    Drakes had multiple insanely massive eras and so has weeknd

    Like 50 / em and wayne / ye had insanely impactful eras at the same times same s*** with drake and weeknd

    If there’s one thing we know about Drake, it’s that the majority of his beefs have centered around women. Now tell me why he had to slide on Metro’s girl.

    I stand with LELAND!

    This post is so funny for no reason 😂😂😂

    Drake obviously more influential

    But I do think Blinding Lights was an influential/impactful pop record as far as the 80s wave, not that it invented it but multiple artists heard Blinding Lights and said “let me try one” I’m pretty sure
