The reason that’s my theory is I keep thinking back to the rap radar interview. Drake doesn’t run from battles but it’s not what he wants to be remembered for… I guarantee he wants a song that represents himself when he’s not speaking out of character/dissing people breaking the record.

It was, but I don’t think that was the expectation given it was released on a Friday night and not given a full tracking week. People make fun of family matters “flopping” but numbers wise it’s in line with all the disses outside of not like us. Not Like Us was just a hit.. no two ways about it, but a diss record like family matters going number 1 was going to be tough… it was very direct and didn’t have the catchiness to it like back to back did (and back to back charted like 20 or something like that)
I forgot to post this yesterday but does no one else feel like there are parallels between Push Ups release and the 100 Gigs packs? Like Push Ups was a prototype for how Drake planned on rolling out his other disses. Even Family Matters with the weekend release instead of the usual Thursday night. Idk I'm just speculating but the thought came to me a few days ago when I was wondering if this is a continuation of the beef in a new form Drake originally intended
Why do they need to be doing numbers for this to make sense
Because there’s no reason to sabotage the release of these songs if these songs never had a shot at reaching #1 anyway.
There’s some dope songs in here, but none of these are chart toppers in 2024, look at what’s on the charts right now.
Your theory would make more sense if these songs were going crazy on streaming and the delayed releases were to slow down their potential chart peaks
And there’s gotta be a reason for it.
no reason but laziness
This theory would make sense if these 100 Gigs songs were doing numbers on DSPs, but they aren’t
That would be the opposite of what he's suggesting. If they did numbers it would cannibalize the single Drake drops. It's why artists don't usually drop more than one or if they do it's a real single and a promotional single. Drake's dropped double singles before like One Dance and Pop Style or God's Plan and Diplomatic Immunity. They eat each other until only one comes out on top. People's attention spans aren't wide enough for artists to drop multiple singles so that's why it doesn't happen

You’re thinking from a fan perspective. Put yourself in drakes shoes who thought Gods Plan was just some one-off song that ended up being one of, if not, the biggest in his career lol

we lost
If No Face or It's Up took off Drake would have to delay his next single. These had to be sacrificed

I understand what he’s suggesting.
He’s suggesting that the DSP drops of these 100 Gigs songs were intentionally delayed / sabotaged as to not interfere with the real hit that Drake has ready to go.
But that theory makes no sense because these 100 Gigs songs are not even performing that well on streaming, they’re not hit records. So there would have been no reason to intentionally sabotage the releases for them
How do I get my girl to gain some weight? She has a nicotine addiction and doesn't eat enough.

God’s Plan went absolutely viral when it leaked though, and it was a song that would obviously perform well commercially.
None of these 100 Gigs records have went viral and none of them are really attempts at commercial success
If No Face or It's Up took off Drake would have to delay his next single. These had to be sacrificed
But It’s Up has been on streaming for weeks now and it hasn’t taken off whatsoever. There was no reason to “sacrifice” these songs; they aren’t hits

I mean hind sight is always 20/20.

True, but I remember when God’s Plan leaked, niggas were going crazy over that snippet. None of these 100 Gigs songs have garnered anywhere near the same attention or virality.
The best performing one right now on Apple is currently streaming less than Best I Ever Had

Yeah this dude acting like artists know what's going to be a hit or not. This time last year no one had any idea who Sabrina Carpenter was. Some songs just hit because of a huge mixture of things.

Which makes the theory that he’s saving a particular song to break the record even less logical.
You’re conceding that you can’t really predict a hit record, so why would Drake be saving a song and sabotaging these drops to break that record?

A lot of times I can't tell if you're serious or not lol.
But I know they make protein shakes for weight gain.

Also to add context, Harper is the main character and the last season had her down bad after getting fired. The guy she’s talking to her in that scene is her former boss, and in the she’s finally able to step over him.
Gotta understand the reason why the Bot B****es are mad is because they haven’t gotten anything since the NLU music video
I’m sure Broccoli is now outplayed, they’re trying to find hidden messages but the truth is there’s no hidden message
Meanwhile Papi has been feeding us non stop since the beef “ended” and it infuriates them that he’s still dropping music, the elimination was unsuccessful
Album soon Angels
I think the other thing too is so many people wanna come from this objective standpoint when they clearly have a bias. Which is fine but don't act like your some neutral party who's just stating facts.
There's a reason why so many Kbots are in here. They derail s*** so we talk about what they want to talk about instead of what we want to talk about.

Nah I'm serious! She won't eat anything for like 9 hours, just suck her vape down, maybe a little snack in the morning, 9 hours later a pb sandwich, and then back to sucking her adult pacifier.
F*** KENDRICK LAMAR AND HIS FANS
