You're right, but music will always be #1 when it comes to the hype for an upcoming album. Off that alone is why I feel Views and Scorpion were more anticipated
fair
I know a lot of yall have never experienced this
But true hype is when you turn off your phone and can still see and feel the excitement of a highly anticipated album
Can you and your group chat personally be hype af? Of course
But let’s not pretend like a huge single wouldn’t give this actual, real life, hype, and not just on Twitter and discord
There are dozens of Iceman videos on TikTok that have received 500k+ likes in the last week alone
Its hyped, I live overseas and my school friends are sharing Iceman memes.
You mean the AI generated joke images making fun of the terrible unironic AI generated covers. I don’t think that’s hype
There are dozens of Iceman videos on TikTok that have received 500k+ likes in the last week alone
And three Iceman singles that came and went in 2025, this is the point we making lmao
You fighting imaginary battles ain’t nobody said there was no hype
I think you are if you think theres little to no hype or discussion then you are a hypocrite. You are in the biggest thread on this site saying people arent talking about it.

You may be 40 years old but we young people find this funny and we are hyped
Why is she following Dave free and not Mr morale
and they say that the midget won the beef
you bring up the next point that i was gonna make
algos are def tailored but what about the people that consume media without a personal account for said medium?
if people are saying its massive hype due to their algo being tailored to drake/iceman, the people saying its not hype due to their algo not having it are two sides of the same coin is really my main point
Yeah but true hype is when it reaches the masses, that’s my only point, when it breaks from the algorithm and is unavoidable
It’s Drake, obviously there’s hype, but huge hype? If he can get a song to stick, then sure, but until then, it’s pretty average

I havent heard anyone discuss irl a upcoming rap album drop since I was in college. Maybe youre in the wrong demo

TikTok likes? You should’ve said that from the beginning!!!
Sound the alarms, the world is excited!!

Do you really think they released the singles hoping they would actually be hits? It was obvious they were all just throwaways to collect data.

Not sure an anime pfp on ktt is a good representative of all young people

This is a hip-hop site, of course this is the biggest thread on the website it’s a new Drake album
would lose lots of respect if he re-signed with UMG no matter how much they offer him
eventually you gotta stand for something after all that
These bots still talking about “hype”
These niggas are getting a bit too desperate…
ICEMAN OUT MAY 15th
Even CLB felt like it had more pre-release hype, but it was kind of a lowkey and quick rollout compared to this
Coming off pandemic and Kanye made his fans a part of it, there was a lot adding to it
This is a hip-hop site, of course this is the biggest thread on the website it’s a new Drake album
I ain't seen any other artist new project thread get this big

this is sad as f*** man, damn
I ain't seen any other artist new project thread get this big
Yes because this site is relatively dead outside of Drake and Kendrick news nowadays
TikTok likes? You should’ve said that from the beginning!!!

When was the last time you saw an album related posts (by fans) get 500k+ likes?
One of the top 3 most popular artists in America is releasing his first solo album after 900+ days and one of the biggest beefs in rap history, Its perfectly natural that this album is hyped. I dont understand what you're trying to argue about.
