Lot of Drake fans (rightfully) hold this opinion yet get mad when someone implies they like Abel’s 2020 work over his 2011 work
the problem is saying ''you dont like trilogy, you just like were you were in life in 2011''. Prefering his newer albums is perfectly fine imo. MDM, Dawn and Afterhours are fantastic
a quick google search would tell you its not true...

A movie soundtrack, a greatest hits album and like 4 pre 2022 albums on the list. My lord it’s worse than I thought. Music 📉
The Motion clears every Lana Del Rey project on its own so maybe
I'm a Drake fan but don't disrespect Lana Del Rey like that ever again.
It is, but there have been actual studies done on this phenomenon, I’m not making this up. It’s why every generation says “music isn’t as good as it used to be” after they reach their adult age. From a Slate article about this idea:
“Petr Janata, a psychologist at University of California–Davis, agrees with the sociality theory, explaining that our favorite music “gets consolidated into the especially emotional memories from our formative years.” He adds that there may be another factor in play: the reminiscence bump, a name for the phenomenon that we remember so much of our younger adult lives more vividly than other years, and these memories last well into our senescence. According to the reminiscence bump theory, we all have a culturally conditioned “life script” that serves, in our memory, as the narrative of our lives. When we look back on our pasts, the memories that dominate this narrative have two things in common: They’re happy, and they cluster around our teens and early 20s.
Why are our memories from these years so vibrant and enduring? Researchers at the University of Leeds proposed one enticing explanation in 2008: The years highlighted by the reminiscence bump coincide with “the emergence of a stable and enduring self.” The period between 12 and 22, in other words, is the time when you become you. It makes sense, then, that the memories that contribute to this process become uncommonly important throughout the rest of your life. They didn’t just contribute to the development of your self-image; they became part of your self-image—an integral part of your sense of self.“
Okay but acting like that applies to every single person who prefers older weeknd to new is absolutely absurd
BL did 90 weeks and heat waves has 91
So my Blinding Lights trading cards have lost value. I need Heat Waves trading cards now
Okay but acting like that applies to every single person who prefers older weeknd to new is absolutely absurd
I was generalizing. I think it applies for the most part though
ok bruh. i dont have the energy to argue about stupid posts like this
charting long on bilboard because radio doesn't mean u have the biggest song of all time. don't know why you can't understand that
I'm a Drake fan but don't disrespect Lana Del Rey like that ever again.
“I’m a Drake fan”
Yeah we know
Born to Die is a classic. F*** all the critics who s*** on the album when it dropped just to give it it's just due a decade later.
“I’m a Drake fan”
Yeah we know
the problem is saying ''you dont like trilogy, you just like were you were in life in 2011''. Prefering his newer albums is perfectly fine imo. MDM, Dawn and Afterhours are fantastic
idk why its such an insult when someone says some of the greatest, most original, and impactful mixtapes of the 2010s/of all time are his best work
like my favs are starboy and KL but having Trilogy as your fav really isnt crazy at all
I was generalizing. I think it applies for the most part though
I think it applies more to the time/mindset/mood/experiences of the time the music is released, not your age.
“I’m a Drake fan”
Yeah we know
Thread could use one of your iconic posts right now, Bow and Arrow
a quick google search would tell you its not true...

Based on this gunna, lil durk, and future all dropped albums that were streamed more in 2022 than kendrick. Kendrick just had the biggest 2022 hiphop release on spotify. They’re missing the point on purpose lol
Honestly, Nevermind is as impactful as Take Care
They both have something in common, both influenced by albums/projects better than them 😊

correct, he did on spotify global.
they only charted that long cause of radio anyway. life is good went diamond faster than both of those
Life Is Good was the only thing song that never got boring during peak pandemic

yea through youtube fraud

No, it’s your adolescent years. Most if not all people who discovered Abel in 2011 were definitely in their teens / very early 20s
they only charted that long cause of radio anyway. life is good went diamond faster than both of those
Life Is Good not the best example cause of the Youtube auto-play boost

This is insanity
